I realize that many zip codes do not have a specialized school dedicated to dyslexia, and I can understand the unfairness of that. But in our case, we have one! And of course we were thrilled when a private school opened up a couple years ago that specialized in teaching dyslexics. Unfortunately, we do not believe the school is well run.

Dyslexia was not mentioned in this article, but there is ...

I've had a successful career so far. I'm a systems engineer for a well-known software company. The team I'm a part of designs and manages critical infrastructure. As an individual, I've been very successful. I excel at robust system design and troubleshooting, which is how I got to where I am.

However, my career has hit a major roadblock. While I am good at designing and building technical systems, I'm awful at vocalizing ideas. I'm ...

Has anyone noticed the stigma attached to a person with dyslexia? Often, if the topic is searched, results come back with info regarding your 'child.' If the topic is discussed, others interpret you are speaking of your own child or when you were little.
