Reinforced Faith in who I am and what I’m trying to do

Finally it’s time for the dyslexic people to rise up ! Your podcast just inspired me to form support groups for adults with dyslexia . we’ve been living with this unnecessarily for so long and have been so downtrodden that it makes me cry even thinking about how hard it has been. Some how we harbor an inner strength and faith to keep going. My mother had such faith in me and now she is gone. Now to hear that there are people out there trying to help us who value us is very encouraging! I am a retired rural Hospital-based Physical Therapist. I often wonder if many of the people we label as “Mentally I’ll” are dyslexic people who didn’t get the chance or the hope or the love to fit in with society and it became too overwhelming. Now is the time we need the minds of Dyslexic people more than ever, we have a real instinctual awareness of our surroundings and many of us are environmental Outdoorspeople. We have been seeing solutions to our environmental crisis for years…… hmmmm … I have thought of a magnetic monorail train in between the interstates…. equidistant circle in core of US…. going one direction only…. anyway the first step is that we are valued and understood. I see our role just like the small penguins who make the holes in the ice for the whole penguin community to travel……Even though we constitute 1/5 of the human population…. our role is valuable, thankyou so much for that and I hope someday to be on your podcast and help give other people with Dyslexia hope. I’ve been studying the structural variation in people with dyslexia . There appears to be a variation in the fovea of the eye being more laterally oriented . If this structural variation is proven then people with dyslexia do not have a disability we just have a different viewpoint, it’s a beautiful viewpoint and I hope to spend more time with people of this “Structural Viewpoint variation “ Love Sharon Iltis
