Okay, here's a funny story. Because I have suspected this for so long, I have been reading about dyslexia for about a year. I see my son as having many of the strengths that are commonly associated with dyslexia, such as strong spatial skills and creativity. He knows I have suspected dyslexia, and I have been careful to tell him about the good things about dyslexia, as well as suggesting it might explain his troubles with reading and spelling. He now thinks of dyslexics as especially creative, talented people. So after I had the conversation with the tester today, and told him that he did indeed have dyslexia, he actually pumped his fist and shouted, "yes!"
