Dyslexia is a disability. To attack somebody over a disability they have is
not only cruel, it's arrogant. And extremely stupid. But we knew you were

Actually, dyslexia alone does not disqualify GW. Many dyslexics are
actually above average in intelligence. It's Bush's other mental blocks
that disqualify him: his lack of curiosity about the world, his
mean-spiritedness as evidenced by a half-witted sense of humor, his
failure to grasp basic facts and apply them. If he were running against
Dan Quayle, he might have the advantage. But he's running against
someone Stephen Hawking has praised as best-equipped to understand the
complexities of the dawning century.

Dyslexia is a learning disability. Those with dyslexia need to find
alternative ways to learn, and they do. Dyslexics tend to be among the
most creative people. Some dyslexics you may have heard about: Albert
Einstein, Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Leonardo da Vinci, and
Walt Disney.
Bush may be unfit to be president, but it isn't due to his dyslexia.

posting had but instead an Autistic Spectrum Disorder called Aspergers
Syndrome.
Aspergers Syndrome mostly affects people who have it in Social
Interaction(which means most people who have it tend to be Loners) and it is
also known that people with Aspergers have at least normal IQ's and in most
cases have IQ's that can range into the above average to the Very Superior!
What may have confused you some is that Dyslexia does occur more often in
people who have this disorder although it is still a small minority and I
strongly doubt Bush has Aspergers Syndrome as his brother Neil has been
diagnosed already with Dyslexia.

There were five children in my family. One of them is one of the
brightest people I ever knew, and he was so dyslexic that, until about
the fourth grade, nobody could read a word he wrote without holding it
up to a mirror.
He was the only one.

I really don't think dyslexia is Bush's main brain problem, which isn't
to say he doesn't have it. Dyslexia has nothing to do with intelligence.
It's a neurological wiring problem that makes learning from books more
difficult. Most dyslexics find ways to compensate for the condition.
Many have above average intelligence and are high achievers. You cannot
tell a person is dyslexic by appearance or even by speech. Bush's verbal
troubles may be due to a different condition, like an auditory
processing dysfunction. But even that should not disqualify him, and
wouldn't if he had clear vision and an ability to communicate it in some
way. He doesn't have the right stuff, setting aside his learning
disabilities.

You may be right about the Aspergers Syndrome, but the people listed in
my post are reported to have had Dyslexia. My youngest son has
Dyslexia, and accordingly I have looked into it a bit. BTW, a
completely objective observer (me) has noted that my youngest son has a
razor sharp wit and a most wonderful way of looking at things.

But having a president that is Dyslexic is not a good Idea. He gets things
wrong/backwards too often. Dyslexia runs in families. Niel Bush is Dyslexic.

That isn't dyslexia.I could write upside down and backwards when I was a kid
too. I still can but no one is interested anymore. You had to read it in a
mirror. Dyslexia is when one reads a word backwards such as saw for was etc.
They don't get the true message when that happens and it could be very
detrimental for a president.

From the book, _The Gift of Dyslexia: Why Some of the Smartest People
Can't Read and How They Can Learn_, by Ronald D. Davis. Of course, it
cannot be truly known that da Vinci was dyslexic; the speculation is
based on his handwriting and erratic spelling, if I remember correctly.

Actually, the 'mirror writing' can be an indicator of dyslexia,
especially if the person doing the writing is unaware that they are
writing backwards.

Hmmm... okay. But I'm skeptical of such medical diagnoses made
hundreds of years after a guy is dead, with no examination or real
evidence. I'm also skeptical of the claim about the others, like
Einstein. Could be true, I suppose, but I'm skeptical.
SemiScholar
I think DaVinci knew what he was doing - and if they do it
consistently (ALL of their writing is backwards, so that it can be
read in a mirror), I think it's pretty obvious that they knew what
they were doing and it's NOT dyslexia. Dyslexics get confused about
letters and words and mix them up. They don't just flip _everything_
around. Billy was just bullshitting again.

The only one with brain damage is you. Dyslexia is a learning disability.
BTW, for all *you* know, the current President could have brain damage. How
would anybody know? He refuses to release his medical records. What's he
hiding?

r_c_...@my-deja.com
Rightly so. The point is that dyslexia isn't brain damage, as was
inferred by another poster, nor would it alone disqualify Bush from the
presidency.

Da Vinci was not consistent. OTOH, you may be right.

It is difficult for the non-dyslexic to understand how the dyslexic
sees words. The dyslexic person will see all 'sides' of a letter, as
if it was three dimensional and moving. Trying to put these moving
letters together into a word and see it as a whole obviously slows the
reading process down and adds enormously to its complexity.
This description is inadequate. Sorry.

Nope. Well... sorta. Or, I don't know for sure.
He was *always* quiet. Like; spooky. A fire blazing in the
corner of the room invisibly, but always felt. As an adult, one can
ask him a complex question (like I said, he's extremely bright) and
one gets this sort of blank-looking stare for a while before he starts
rolling out the data like a tidal wave. (I was struck with Tom
Wolfe's description of Neil Armstrong: "Jesus," I thought, "he's
talking about my brother.") His elementary teachers were talking to
us about Bryan being "mentally retarded", which was just preposterous.
See, we knew they were dealing with someone very different from most
humans, but they didn't know how.
If it was the dyslexia that affected his speech, I almost wish
I'd had it, too.

He wrote and read just about everything backwards and upside
down. Every once in a rare while, one letter or other would come up
right. There was more to it, but I don't remember it all now. It was
quite complex, and, in 1971, fairly mysterious, too. That episode was
the very first time I'd ever heard that word. IIRC, it was

Each case of dyslexia is different (although there are patterns or
indications), but each dyslexic person tends to be quite consistent
with the methods they have chosen to cope with the condition.

You mentioned his slightly odd way of speaking in another post, how he
has a pause before letting loose. This is also a vestige, indicative

I was going to point that out. I don't recall as much as I wish
I could, but it seems to me he had a particular spirit about it, as
much as a kid at that age could. I think I never realized that it was
a problem, and it's because he never looked less than completely
confident to me.

He didn't say he was diagnosed as dyslexic - he just said "he was so
dyslexic that, until about the fourth grade, nobody could read a word
he wrote without holding it up to a mirror." And that is not only NOT
dyslexia, but it is so patently absurd that the most logical
explanation is that Billy was just bullshitting again. Especially
given his history.
