Dyslexia, It's who i am

i was chatting in the chat on Simpletons, Cat and Cor where writing big long words which i couldn't understand or get to grips on how to read or spell them, i went and had a look on Wiki about Dyslexia cause i get muddled up with English a lot but with Hebrew...i am learning it smoothly like Squishy's bottom. But i don't really understand why i get so muddled with English since it's my native language, i mean i am a great speaker its just that when it comes to reading and everything, you know big texts my brain feels like it wants to explode, so i found the Symptoms of Dyslexia, i have to warn you it's a LONG LIST!

just about everyone of those points are true, well i don't know about the bed wetting point i know when i need to pee =d but most of these are part of who i am and what makes me. But what surprises is that i just though reading and problems with understanding languages, there is more, Hmm i don't know if my primary school had more knowledge about the disorder then i think i would be better off but saying that well, some have to learn the hard way. But i am sick of people calling it a disease! No you morons its a Learning disability! I have seen plenty of sites saying and asking if there is a cure? No there isn't! But saying if there was it would consist of brain surgery. I don't fancy that at all, and it would change who i am, you know =d i just felt the need to post something like this these days you don't really hear much about Dyslexia, this really should change =d
