I suppose my husband would fall into the second category --- he developed dyslexia as he was learning two languages with two sets of alphabets --- Romanic and Cyrillic. So, a "G" looked like an "L" and an "R" like a "P". That kind of stuff really messes with the brain.

How do you think you developed your dyslexia?

Primary dyslexia is a dysfunction of, rather than damage to, the left side of the brain (cerebral cortex) and does not change with maturity. Individuals with this type are rarely able to read above a fourth grade level and may struggle with reading, spelling, and writing as adults. Primary dyslexia is hereditary and is found more often in boys than in girls.

that sounds like me but I was tould I was born with it but no one couth on till i was 10 that there was something wrong. I had a great memory back than if i heard a book once as a child i would rember it and pretend to read it so every one at frist thout i was a good reader. but as i got onlder my merory went to lol. I cant even rember my own phone number now lol mind you how often do you call yourself.

-learning other languse I cant do that no mater how much I try( xsclding sing langues I can do that prity well still learning.
