This is the start.

this is the start of something new.

For those of you who are reading, and have no idea what Dyslexia is:
"Dyslexia is a language-based learning disability. Dyslexia refers to a cluster of symptoms, which result in people having difficulties with specific language skills, particularly reading."
and i have it.
In normal terms, this mean that reading and language skills could be hard/difficult examples: spelling, reading, writing.
i have minor problems with all of these.

this blog isn't made to have to reader (you) feel bad for me. i would really like to just bring an awareness to the topic. and to stop the discrimination hat comes when you tell friends that this is what you have, or even teachers. I myself have been in both of these situations.

common questions that people ask:

can you cure dyslexia?: No, it is not a disease, there is no cure.
how does someone "get" dyslexia? : no. you are born with it. and there is a chance that other family members have it as well.

Part of what i am doing here is letting teens know that they aren't alone. when we finally found (this year) that this is what i had. i wasn't shocked or surprised. i just sorta' knew. and i have learned to live with it.. without ever really knowing what "it" was. i have managed the last few years, something still come at a challenge for me. like numbers. -shiver-
