hi.. good to see the thread is still alive after being opened for so long..

my daughter is dyslexic and have been with the dyslexia programme in shah alam for over 2 months already.. probably need to continue for another 2 months since her writing skills still not there yet...

other than that.. she sure had shown a great improvement!! previously she cannot spell, reads and even hates to do so... but now, every now and then, i found her suddenly spell out things... it seems like she really enjoys doing it..

as for adults... i think am also dyslexic... lol

recently bought these 2 books: Dyslexic Advantage (http://www.bookdepository.com/Dyslexic-Advantage-Brock-Eide/9780452297920) and Gift of Dyslexia (http://www.bookdepository.com/Gift-Dyslexia-Ronald-Davis/9780399535666)

those are really good reads!! they mainly discussed on the geniuses of Dyslexia

apparently the difficulties of reading and writing are just minor shortcomings of being dyslexic

the MAJOR part of DYSLEXIA is the unique way of the brain processing that leads to geniuses.... which means those famous people like Einstein and Leonardo Da Vinci are not geniuses in spite of being dyslexic.. but they are geniuses BECAUSE of their dyslexic brain.... but to dig that geniuses out of dyslexia IS the trickiest part...

i would highly recommend those with dyslexic or close to anyone who is dyslexic to read up those 2 books... i got mine at Kinokuniya (apparently the only bookstore in malaysia that have stocks) ... but just found out you can get them cheaper at book depository (free worldwide shipping!!!)
