Default Re: Dyslexia

I have cross-lateral dyslexia, diagnosed at about 14 at school.

It's not bothered me too much, occasionally paperwork suffers and some Sgt. gets a bee in his bonnett!

I always use a computer at work to help with spellings and the structure of documents. My problem is I can't see the correct order to write things down in, so the ability to cut'n'paste is a massive help. I also cannot spell anything with double consonants.

It can be good fun, sometimes people who may not appreciate being given a ticket sneer at my appaling handwriting. The look on their face when I explain about dysexia and that they are committing a "hate crime" by laughing at me is truly wonderfull! Not true in any way, shape or form of course, but what the hell!
