RE: Dr. TLK _ Curation Contest: Help me to Thank you # 5
Yeah!! I love these curation efforts and I am honored to participate.

Dyslexia doesn’t mean you can’t read. Stephen Spielberg, Tom Cruise, Pablo Picasso and Whoopi Goldberg are examples of people who lived with dyslexia and overcame learning disorders. The best example today of one who overcame dyslexia to achieve academic success is Jack Horner the paleontologist from Princeton. Horner says,
“I think dyslexia and the consequences of dyslexia – learning to deal with failure – explain my own success. From my failures, I’ve learned where I need help, such as in reading and math. But I’ve also learned from my accomplishments what I’m better at than the linear thinkers.”
That is very interesting subject my dear @mineopoly,
Thank you for participating again :D
I must admit l knew little about dyslexia. Your post provides useful information, especially when you share your experience with the student Steem Roller.
Thank you @nelinoeva for reading the post. We have been supporting Steem Roller for almost one year now. There is no program from our government to support kids with dyslexia. Actually it is looked down on and regarded as retarded. He is a really bright kid and super kind and fun but everything slips though his memory. He has to learn it in a totally new way. When he does get it he has it for sure.
Oh, the kids with dyslexia need support and it is shame that governments consider them retarded. I wish him best of luck and you are doing great job by helping him!
And here I thought Tom Cruise was just short. This was a very interesting read. I used to think a few of my coworkers at the post office were dyslexic, turns out they were just sleepy.
Thanks for reading @wonderwop. It takes all of us some concentration to read so if we are distracted or sleepy it is difficult. That has happened while reading posts on Steemit too. I do my best to check posts and comments when I am awake. You really picked out some key points well.
