[quote=Anonymous]My good friend from college, one of the most brilliant and accomplished people I know, is dyslexic. I don't know exactly how she learned how to read, but I do recall that she was falling behind in school (and her brother--it runs in the family; he is also brilliant and has a masters degree from an ivy league university) had to be pulled out of school and home schooled for part of elementary school so she could learn some coping strategies. She did an IB program for high school and did phenomenally in college and graduate school--so those years of figuring things out at her own pace worked out for her. My mom is pretty certain she is an undiagnosed dyslexic. She had a lot of issues learning how to read, and she's a slower reader than my dad or I am, although a very avid reader. Growing up in the '60s, it was before the days of alerting a reading specialist, so she just eventually figured out her own coping strategies and she has a masters degree.[/quote]
