Hear about the dyslexic insomniac agnostic? He lies awake at night wondering if there's a dog.

Dyslexia, unlike ADD/HD DOES exist. How do I know? I've had it all my life.
My case mostly manifests with numbers; for instance, I see the number "57" written down as "75".
So what do I do about it? I always check my math TWICE. No psycotropic drugs or special ed classes required.
The real shame is that is is yet another excuse for psychobabble "victimhood".

When I grew up, it was made very clear that having a problem was not a badge of honor and did not earn you special treatment. You were supposed to work harder and overcome problems, not be defined by them.
Sure...I had problems. Still do. Who doesn't? The difference is that sane people don't define themselves by their defects.
