Being a Dyslexic............and not knowing it.

I am a dyslexic, and didn't know until recently.

I had all the symptoms but I didn't know It was called Dyslexia

I thought I was a funny person.

Its not scary or dreadful like people say.

I also discovered my right brain is dominant.

My mum says I have mild dyslexia and that's why she has been encouraging me to write a lot and read a lot.

Well because of that I am able to read and write like a normal person today.

As a kid and till today I have a problem of misreading the exam paper like having a copied wrong and losing lots of marks .

My mom checks my Question paper says darling did you answer this Question?

I say what that Question was there in the paper and she says,"what did you write?"

Now I have got use to that I read the paper carefully to avoid such blunders.

I always confuse with the left and right.

I am weak at maths I always have a copied wrong it has reduced a lot though.

While reading some times I do jumble in words and its funny.

I confuse with d and g a lot.

my mother tongue is Marathi and lots of times i have pronunciation problems eg: k an kh or d and dh etc.

While writing or typing I forget to type a character or a word which leads to spelling mistake grammatical mistake thanks to spell and grammar check.

All I want to say is being dyslexic is not a bad thing or nothing to shy away from all those who are dyslexic shouldn't feel any different because we are not different or have any kind of problem.
