[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH has a JD and an MA, makes $200k/year. He’s also trilingual. So yes. [/quote] My DH, too, with two BAs and one MS in engineering. Foreign languages were the one area academically that he couldn't master (though I bet he'd do all right in an immersion environment, since he learns well aurally). He does attribute getting through school to the two years he spent in a high school specifically for kids with dyslexia. He was able to go back to mainstream school after getting that intensive help figuring out learning strategies. A big one he still uses now is that he dictates when he writes long things. And he sometimes "reads" by listening via "text-to-speech," mainly for efficiency. But he also reads lots of books on paper for fun. People who don't know much about dyslexia are always surprised when my DH mentions that he has it. But they shouldn't be surprised. The list of successful adults with dyslexia is very long. [/quote]
