I don't have dyslexia, but I'm a teacher who has specialised in this area. I have made it my professional duty to ensure no children go through what you had to endure!

I don't have dyslexia but my cousin does and that hasn't stopped his life (for example)!
Look at where you are now! I enjoy reading your work - despite your dyslexia.
If you hadn't mentioned anything, I would never have guessed!
Well done!
Thanks,

I'm not completely in the same boat as you, but I have a conditon called Asperger's Syndrome, which is a mild form of Autism. My experience was the same as yours: being told you're stupid, children and adults perpetually blullying me at school, people never understanding me, and other stuff like that. At least you're bless with the ability to learn social skills intuitively; I have to learn social skills as if it was another subject in high school; however, I didn't let that stop me. In fact, I became a more unique person because of it. Like dyslexia, Asperger's Syndrome can help you percieve the world differently and help you to become more creative and help you to strive to dou your best, and sometimes, we, as individuals, strive to become even more successful than people without disorders.
What I'm trying to say is: never let a disorder put you down as a creature, as less human than people without it. In fact, be proud of it, for no one else will have the same perspective as you because of it.

Thank you all for your encouraging comments, it's a blessing that there are more people out there with similar circumstances that others just take for granted, bless you all.

I don't have dyslexia but if you hadn't said anything I couldn't have guessed. Your work is great, especially as you say you have struggled with it all your life.
Keep it up.

I can relate but for a completely different reason. Both my brother and myself were identified as gift students. My brother was naturally gifted, but I was not. I just worked hard and enjoyed English class. Still, the label 'gifted' makes you vulnerable to the same type of teasing- evidently it's not 'cool' to be smart. I'm glad you've been able to overcome dyslexia and think you are a fabulous writer. People can do anything if they set their minds to it. Keep writing!
Sincerely,
Dragonwriter

Debbie, you are so amazing!
Those people who call you stupid should come on here to see what you've been doing. Brightening peoples' days with your writing is a much more productive way to spend your time rather than calling people something they are not.

I completely agree with everyone who has posted before me.
I do not have dyslexia but my brothers do, I know that it just makes things a bit harder but it makes you a loit stronger in the long run.
