Here's a joke about getting older. There's two things I hate about getting older. The first is my memory and the second I forgot.

Oh my gosh Pauly .... I just read about dysgraphia and saw symptoms I've had for as long as I can remember such as pain, problems holding onto the pen .. a pencil is easier for me. I always have my husband write out checks in the store if he's with me as it's embarrassingly slow for me and the stress is huge which causes me to get real sloppy and the pen will slip even more.

One of my daughters has symptoms of both dyslexia and dysgraphia. She was in special ed in elementry school for reading comprehension. She has ADHD and after going to a psycologist was able to get her spelling lists shortened but it didn't help much. No one ever thought of dyslexia as after about 3rd grade she finally started turning her problem letters around the right way. I've always felt like I had to defend and protect her during school but thought it was all ADHD. Each year was the same problems with a new teacher. NOW she's 22yrs. and came up to me afew weeks ago and told me that she is wondering if she has dyslexia as she's been reading about it.

I was able to understand most of your spelling as I have spent so many years reading my daughters which is similar. If you continue to have problems with voice recognition software let me know and I can ask my step-mother what she uses. She doesn't have use of her sight and works for social services teaching people that have gone blind how to manage.

Now because of your thread I'm learning about dysgraphia ... and learning that all this is hereditary. You just helped enlighten some people way out here in Kentucky! Thank you!

thank you so much for sharing that with me I certainly hearing of the pain that you experience a regards to dyslexia. I definitely had experience this fired from jobs missed out on promotions and lost raises. I avoid writing notes at work at all costs. Because no matter how intelligently I converse with people as soon as they see in note there opinion of me completely changes usually from that point forward I am considered stupid and often talk down to amongst the more ignorant people that I work with degrading jokes will be told behind my back but I will say this sumof the most famous people in history where dyslexsics Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill,Cher,George Herbert Walker Bush,George Burns,Albert Einstein,Woodrow Wilson,Thomas Alva Edison andLeonardo da Vinci just to name a few. So in the company of these great people I hold my head high and I will never tolerate ignorance bigotry rudeness or being shoved in that little box that everyone likes to shove people in! Because damn it I have an IQ in the 98th percentile and I am smarter than 98% of the entire world population and if people want to think I'm dumb then that's their problem.!!! So don't you feel bad because you have to ask your husband to write a check it's unimportant I can tell from the conversations I've had with you in the past that your thoughtful and considerate and loving and damn it a good gardener and that's all that's important.!
