Concerning Personal Disabilities

It’s not everyday that you realize that you have a defect, although it may happen as in the case of my life, I have discovered 66 of them and the most recent of them could spell doom. I just realized that I could be dyslexic; it is a learning disability by the way.

I was shocked, even though I have known that I should be associated with more disabilities than abilities, but dyslexia was like the old cherry on the five rupee chocolate cake.

It was a thought I had been giving a thought in recent times owing to my over dependence on the spelling check and grammar option in good old word, in other words I don’t use any other software other than those which provide me with this advantage, a thing which I have been hiding from all those I know.

My spellings are worse, always do the swap between the i’s and the e’s and a whole lot of other bloody words which are difficult to write, this might be a case to reckon with if I am considering dyslexia.

Things got better when I did an online search on the subject, I was not entirely dyslexic as I thought I would be, it would have been better if I had been in the first case I could blame all my academic failures on poor dyslexia.

A quick reading ensured that I was more prone to typo error than others which are closely related to a disorder called dysgraphia which deals with spellings verbal and otherwise.

As I said it’s not everyday you discover that something is horribly wrong with you, but no big deal I can very well just get on with it, as I see all those around me with more exponential difficulties pulling their cart I haven’t even begun at the wheel.

As Bilbo Baggins once said, there is only one road and it goes on forever, long live Tolkien and all those who read the lord of the rings on their way to college everyday.
