Do you think being dyslexic is an excuse for poor comunication skills?

    I know a few dyslexics who are amazing at art.


    Yep well not so much associated generally Dyslexic people are very creative they think out side of the box, because we have to learn in a different way we think differently we see things from other perspectives, So when it comes to anything creative...

    We take different approaches may not be the normal approach but we get there.

    Personally speaking I make an effort with spelling and grammar.. I know people who are well able to spell, but don't bother. :mad:

    Just read through the thread and saw no one answered this, but from what I know (I'm no doctor or anything) people who have dyslexia do tend to be quite skilled at practical things (like art)

    Edit : Completely missed Snow Monkeys post :o

    Tbh the problem with an over-reliance on spell check is that people won't know how to cope without it. We use computers a lot, yes, but sometimes handwriting is called for. It's a bit like saying we don't need to know how to do sums because we have calculators.
    I also think spell check doesn't always know what you're trying to say...
    I wouldn't agree with that, not the bit about it not knowing what your trying to say, as sometimes it's just way off. But having the spell checker constantly correct you on words you eventually learn the word. It can be harder for a dyslectic to learn all the words though, as it's been said already we're remembering the word as a symbol.
