I was a dyslexic kid.

I'm quite dyslexic in school.

I was dyslexic, so I was put in the silly class at school.

I was dyslexic, I had no understanding of schoolwork whatsoever. I certainly would have failed IQ tests. And it was one of the reasons I left school when I was 15 years old. And if I - if I'm not interested in something, I don't grasp it.

Being dyslexic, I was told that I was an idiot all the time.

Though my parents assured me over and over again that I wasn't stupid or slow, I sensed that my dyslexia was now a stigma on all of us.

I wasn't dyslexic, I was just very slow. I passed my time daydreaming.

I was well into middle age when one of my children, then in the second grade, was found to be dyslexic. I had never known the name for it, but I recognized immediately that the symptoms were also mine.

I was growing up in the 50's and 60's. Back then they didn't even know what dyslexia was.
