*No*, gosh no, sorry Mike, I sincerely hope I don't
present as extremely ironical, sarcastic or 
even cynical when referring
to my own inner beingness. *This* debate is just too
near one's emotional centre.....I am one. I am
also the parent of one.

My point is that within the dyslexic
community I am a happy labelleer
- as many of us are. ie
Not all of us wish to be otherwise.

Just as others within the community
do not ever wish to be so. ie That there are
the two equally heartfelt sides.

When one has been called 
"oh, one of them" then one
in one's lostness usually goes either 
of those two ways, or one joins the deniers.

But in the dyslexia community one must take in the three
outlooks. That was my point. Judith put it far better
and more dispassionately. Thanks.

(This bit *not serious*....
I am told I'm an old time eccentric also a fully paid up
member of  the awkward squad. It's when I grow up
I wanna be an ironic sarcasticist! < VBG >)

I would add, serious once more, that it is a 
mistake to 'grade' dyslexics within their dyslexia
.... there are times when we all
need the full monty of help.

(And semi-seriously...yep, that marks me as
a disable-ist and not one one 
of "the gift of dyslexia-ists".)

Please remember, I am talking as a adult dyslexic about dyslexia.

We must all be mad, this is hols.
