Dyslexic people can be highly intelligent, incredibly creative, ingenious, popular and very successful. But, they all must endure years at schools, and sometimes throughout their entire lives, where they are made to feel stupid.
Lochie is very intelligent. His memory for details, information from documentaries and recall of converstations etc is incredible. He is an amazing social person with a fantastic personality. Non of this comes out when he is faced with one of the most scary things on this planet to him. A sheet of white paper with black writing. Or as he says, black wavey moving lines with white rivers.
I can't wait to get my book finished and make more people aware that ability to read is not a sign of how intelligent a person is.
