For you information, my IQ has been tested many times during my life

when I was 18 years old.
I can read music, play the piano and a few other stringed
instruments, play Bridge, oh yes! write music. I am dextrous which is
essential being a carpenter and joiner, and my hobby which is
restoring post war motorcycles. My main hobby now is gardening but I
find time for all of the above.
But, of course anyone can say that in a newsgroup. I am being
sincere.

If dyslexia is noticed early on and properly dealt with, there is no
reason at all it should be any sort of problem in future. However
anyone who is still having problems in adult life, suggests it wasnt
noticed in childhood, and will be very much more difficult to deal
with.

Please don't talk bull about a subject you obviously know zero about.
Are you suggesting that there is a cure for an illness that does not
exist?
You and Janet should get engaged. Of course you will argue so much
bullshit between you that you will never wed, but I would like to be a
fly on THAT wall.



The general perception of dyslexia is similar to that held by Janet,
but ignorance and intolerance of anyone or anything that might differ
from the accepted norm, is so common nowadays its not really worthy of
mention.

Then why mention it?

Both my younger brothers were affected by dyslexia, and this problem
was recognised and dealt with early on, it hasnt affected them in any
way during later life.

As to bullshit you seem to be very well versed in this, and seem
comfortable with posting complete nonsense about insurance, flood
damage, etc etc all of which you have got secondhand from people not
able to back up anything they have claimed in writing!

The main problem is that in most cases the parents of those affected
by dyslexia dont actually recognise the fact that there is anything
wrong, and by the time this does become clear, its often too late to
do anything about it.

Those who are affected generally keep quiet about it, and dont use it
as a kind of crutch to gain sympathy from
others......................not so Baz it would appear!

I have NOT described dyslexia as a disease, or people with dyslexia as
imbeciles. Those terms were used only by Baz.

Baz appears to have moved this discussion to this separate thread
deliberately to misrepresent what I posted in another. Those following the
original thread can see for themselves I made no such comment or claims
about dyslexia (or him).

I get the feeling that Baz is one of those people who relies on a
problem of some sort (in his case dyslexia), as a means of gaining
sympathy from others.

Yes, you are correct. NOW will you go to bed and stop bothering people.

Both of my brothers have dyslexia but neither is in the habit of
mentioning this to anyone who will listen..............why not follow
their examples?

Baz is in a group where the means of communication is written, and it is helpful to the rest of us to have a distinction between dyslexic and "can't be bothered".

As Baz says, dyslexia does not
equate to thick,

Competent readers will have noticed, that nobody in this group
suggested it does. Nor did anybody (other than Baz) introduce the terms
illness, disease, or imbecile.

Sorry Baz it seems you started this particular thread, and used the
word "Imbecile" in the title. Reading posts from you suggesting you
have taken professional advice on matters to do with both law and
insurance cover, and have not bothered to get the said advice in
writing suggests perhaps you are familiar with the meaning of the word
imbecile?

Presumably whatever it was would fall short due to "throwing like a girl"
syndrome? (Both my boys are experts at Throwing Like A Girl)

My Dad had absolutely _no_ sense of direction - he was a brilliant
scientist, but practical things eluded him.
