TRUMP trashing Newsom for dyslexia? The very definition

[applegrove]

of dyslexia is that you are way smarter than your ability to phonologically process language is. Visual thinkers. Visionaries. I would add Theodore Roosevelt, Eleanor Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and many other politicians.

SPOILER ALERT: Dyslexia has no connection to intelligence. Some famous people with dyslexia are:
Albert Einstein
Winston Churchill
Steve Jobs
Pablo Picasso
Agatha Christie
John Lennon
Walt Disney
John F. Kennedy
Abraham Lincoln
Auguste Rodin
Leonardo da Vinci
and many more ...

1. Have you ever read The Gift of Dyslexia?

Fascinating!

[applegrove]

2. I've read the Dyslexia Advantage. Blew my mind and confirmed

things i knew about myself.

[SheltieLover]

3. Sounds like another delicious read!

Ty for sharing!

[applegrove]

6. I just order the Gift of Dyslexia. Thank you for the suggestion.

[SheltieLover]

7. Great! I believe you will enjoy it!

My library doesn't have the 1 you mentioned. Cripes, if I keep otdering books, I'll have to move outside.

Enjoy! Pls let me know what you think of it.

[applegrove]

9. Yes. I have books always coming in, none going out. I need 4 of those spinning

six story high bookshelves.

[SheltieLover]

10. Yup, me too!

[OAITW r.2.0]

4. He's dissing President Newsom?

Seams like disrespect.

[Deuxcents]

5. TSF's mocking only showcases his ignorance, which is on display every day. Different day, same 💩

8. My sister and I have mild dyslexia.

It has to do with directionality issues.

My brain reverses direction, so you can
imagine all the extra walking and driving
I've done over the years.

It doesn't affect my reading at all, nor
cursive writing.

However, when printing, I will reverse
the b and the d occasionally.

Que sera sera.

12. For starters, just being Left Handed makes me do the opposite.

I was told not to blink at the Drs office and I couldn't stop blinking.
She then told me to Blink and I didn't blink.

18. Oh man, I had no idea. I've always been "directionally challenged" (to say the least)

I had no idea this was a form of dyslexia.

My partner (may he RIP) used to joke that he always knew where our car was parked -- just go the opposite way from where I start heading. He also got good at giving directions like this "Go left up there." (as I change lanes to the right) "No, your other left."

When I was small, my sister tried to teach me right from left. She got frustrated and marked up my hands to "help out."

Many years ago, my mom came across the diagnosis "Clumsy Child Syndrome" and of course sent it along to me. To her it explained a lot.

20. LOL

That's me too. You should have seen me at LBJ
and LASA high schools where I used to sub after
retirement.

LBJ was on the first floor, and LASA was on the
second floor, but they were shaped the same way...
like a triangular beehive.

The walls of each triangle were painted different
colors: gold, purple, and another color. It didn't
help. I got a lot of exercise there, lol.

I've always been a bit clumsly and uncoordinated too.

I never could do cartwheels, either.

21. And when step aerobics was a "thing"...

... I made the mistake of signing up for a class. Once with an audience of other people was enough. Tried with videos at home. Just thinking about my earnest attempts makes me chuckle.

[ananda]

22. I keep wondering if I'm a merged twin.

Both my legs turn the same way, for example;
and the bones on each side grew differently.

It could account for directionality issues too.

Maybe you're one too.

[pat_k]

23. Now I have some research to do!

[ananda]

24. Let me know what you find out.

Thanks.

11. It's better to be dyslexic than to be a pedophile.

[Figarosmom]

13. I dont think he knows what it is. Nt

[applegrove]

14. He is one. But not a smart one.

[MoseShrute]

15. If...

If I was Gov Newsom, I’d respond with “still shittting your Chinese pants?” But then again I can be a little rough around the edges at times.

16. Ironic Trump said: "The PRESIDENT of the United States, Gavin Newscum admitted that he has learning difficulties."

17. Ignore Mr. Projection
