Dyslexia

Why is it so hard to read? Feeling like all the letters are trying to drown me, they like rivers keeps on flowing and moving. My eyes are wandering outside for I never understand everything. Impair, indolent, and slow as they call me. My life was like I was in hell burning for they don’t understand me why it is so hard. With this I see things in different way which nobody sees like me. On how I imagine the world would be, on how I imagine even from a small things. My mind wanders because I imagine. Teachers always call my attention putting in front of them. I thought its just an attention problem why I can’t concentrate.

As I research just to understand what is what, I found out that it is been a problem too with other people whom sometimes are celeb. Even geniuses like Einstein which do have this unlikely disorder. So I dug up more and now I can name the culprit “DYSLEXIA”, dyslexia is a brain-based type of learning disability that specifically impairs a person's ability to read. These individuals typically read at levels significantly lower than expected despite having normal intelligence. Although the disorder varies from person to person, common characteristics among people with dyslexia are difficulties with phonological processing (the manipulation of sounds), spelling, and/or rapid visual-verbal responding. In individuals with adult onset of dyslexia, it usually occurs as a result of brain injury or in the context of dementia; this contrasts with individuals with dyslexia who simply were never identified as children or adolescents.  Dyslexia can be inherited in some families, and recent studies have identified a number of genes that may predispose an individual to developing dyslexia.

But it doesn’t mean I can’t do anything, being dyslexic gives me will to do things most people don’t do. We are not autistic; we’re just having difficulties and that difficulty is our strength to pursue what we want to pursue.
Imagination is more important than Knowledge.
I dyslexia am!
