My experience of working with people who suffer from the negative aspects of dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyspraxia and dyscalculia as well as AD/HD is that these characteristics rarely come alone – that they are closely related. Learning how to use the mind (different way of thinking, not something broken or not working) is pivotal to reducing and potentially overcoming the problems in any or all of these areas.

Ironically, the ‘experts’ accross the globe insist that it cant be cured. What they don’t seem to be able to get the handle on is that it is not something that NEEDS CURING!. If their understanding were truly the case, I’d like to see them produce a drug or elaborate software etc to cure most people’s comparative inability to capitalise on thinking in and learningnby sensory, musical and artistic means. And no, I’m not thinking of halucinary drugs to promote the ability to visualise.

If only these experts could ‘see’ the different way of thinking they would begin to recognise and then understand that it is different and that different is not wrong or bad. Different is different, just the same as apple and orange are different, but they are still nourishing fruits.

What I also would like to see is promotion of the positive characteristics – running your own business for instance takes loads of energy and sustainability, maybe too the reduced ability to form energy expenditure habits like needing to sleep at a certain time. Who’s most likely to have that, an evergy-average person or one with loads of energy?
