It's not all the same... thank you

I hate when people think that every person who has the same disability are the same. Guess what everyone... stop the presses! Not all are created equal. Part of my Dyslexia is that I can not read things associated with certain colors. That does not mean that I am color blnd, because I am not. I can see all of the colors of the rainbow. A co-worker and I were wanting to retape the pricing table at work, and put new prices on as well. The new boss was wanting to do it in red and I protested stating that I could not read red. He then asked if I was colorblind. When I said that it was part of my dyslexia but that I was not colorblind but I just could not read things written in red or on red. Another boss was standing by and mentioned that he was dyslexic but that he did not have that problem. Yes, I explained not everyone has the same thing wrong with them. Arg! Ok everyone, here is the deal... we are not all created equal, just incase you were wondering.

See Right Dyslexia Glasses will allow you to read red or on red. It wouldn't seem to be a large problem .

Trouble reading white on green is a bigger problem because that combo is used for freeway signs.

If you haven't already, I would highly recommend reading THE GIFT OF DYSLEXIA by Ronald D. Davis. It is phenomenal and explains perfectly WHY dyslexics experience very different symptoms.

A must read! It explained SO MUCH about myself and my kids!
