Recently, I had a revealing conversation with my 35 year old son since he is now investigating his own dyslexia and how it has affected his whole learning experience and some of his world views.\u00a0 He talked about 3D processing verses 1D or linear processors.\u00a0 We talked about genetics and I shared with him\u00a0my new passion to share what I’m learning and how I’m creating this website to benefit others.<\/p>\n
Next, my son wanted to learn about my beginning experience as a child and how I didn’t fit in.\u00a0 I shared that my parents were concerned that I was so quiet.\u00a0 They had my ears tested to see if I had an handicap since I was slow to speak.\u00a0 My ears were fine.\u00a0 Doctors where not generally aware that audio-processing is not a hearing problem.\u00a0 It’s a neurological contition. I was very content with my life and how\u00a0no \u00a0idea that others might have viewed me as different.\u00a0 However,\u00a0 I wasn’t very social in kindergarten, 1st or 2nd grade.<\/p>\n
Anyway,\u00a0 I’m thrilled that this son and I have a whole new common interest and way of looking at ourselves and how we can make a more meaningful contribution to the world we live in.\u00a0 I shared with him the clips from “Teen Wolf” when the character played by Michael J. Fox realizes that he had a unique condition and how late his dad was in informing him of the possibility of inheriting some special “powers” and responsibilities.\u00a0 Please enjoy these clips in the “Family Affair” section of this website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
