Ian,
I sympathise with you on that one. That's like calling the perspective =
boss a wa*k*er. You have as much chance of getting the job. But then =
again, I heard today that there's a architects firm in London that ONLY =
take on dyslexic employees ( no crack) because it's been proven that =
dyslexia is due to heavy right brain activity I bla bla, you know the =
rest). This is a pain for the sufferers as naturally they either come =
across as being 'dunmb' or don't have the skill set that the 'general =
public' deem appropriate in the work place.=20
On the flip side of that is that dyslexic people see 3d space very =
easily and can visualise well - hence architecture being a prime job. =
It's true. I have a friend who teaches dyslexic children and has done =
for 40 years or so - she was telling me how society only sees their =
negative side and doesn't realise what potential they have, if applied =
properly and spotted early on, the learning difficulty can be overcome =
AND you still get to keep the other qualities! Right result. Me likes.=20
So, I tell you this Ian so you can relax in the knowledge that it's not =
that your dyslexia got in the way, no, no, you are waiting for the right =
employer to spot your talent. See, it's half full really.
Paul.
