Dyslexia?
I have been wondering recently, if I might be dislexic,(or some suffering from some related condition).
As someone who works with young people I need to be aware of at least some of the signs and actions that might indicate further investigation in this direction.
I have noticed some of these thing in my own behaviour...
eg:
I spoonerise a LOT
I'm good at maths but I seem to be unable to make the numbers add up like they should, no matter how hard I try or concentrate.
I have a very good vocabulary but am still unable to spell certain common words correctly, even after months or years of practice. (This used to drive my A level english teacher to distraction)
Certain words I unable to write without spelling them phonetically subvocally.
All these, along with other things, have made me question:
Even if I take a test, would it mean much as I have never let barriers like these slow me down or impede me in anyway?
Do I want to subscribe myself to this subcatagory in my sociaty?
Would I see it as an excuse within myself to work less or with lower aspirations than I now do?
Perhaps it is just my vanity that I don't want to sully my higher than average IQ with a tag-along condition any more than I have already had to acknowlage
