[quote=Anonymous]This is the adult dyslexic with the dyslexic child again. Cool that your daughter wonders what she can be when she grows up! The answer is, of course, the one you have given her. But it may seem far fetched to her now if she struggles. So she should know that she may have to work harder than other people at certain things. But sometimes that struggle leads to insights - dyslexics literally have to construct new brain pathways to read and do other tasks, and if you are on a new pathway...you see new things. And you see old things differently. Take a look at the Dyslexic Advantage website and book. The book felt a little rah-rah dyslexia for me, but they also run an annual writing contest for young dyslexics that my child entered and won a prize. It did wonders for his feeling of what he could be...he can't yet spell, reads slowly, but he writes a mean poem. :-)[/quote]
