Dyslexia

Learning

I've always had that neurodivergent curiosity and soaked up the knowledge of topics that vaguely interested me. As a dyslexic I couldn't however learn from rules like most people. Going through school studying was pointless for me. I didn't know why but I knew tests would come out the same whether I study or not. There was nothing I could do to affect my grades.

I also love sharing my knowledge with people around me. Only explaining something based on my intuitive understanding doesn't work well. So I did what I always do when I want to learn something. I put myself in more situations where I explain things to people and make mental notes of what's confusing me. Until I picked up the patterns of how other people respond to my words.

This is what it means when someone has Big Picture Thinking.

As a person experiencing dyslexia I can't study to learn the rules of a language. Yet I never had an issue with Japanese which is often considered difficult?

これは本当に何ですか

Reading just the syllables in the sentence above in my head it becomes:

kore wa ?? ni ? des ka?

Punctuation is implied. I know the sound patterns. Now the ? are kanji which can be read multiple ways. 日本 means Japanese which contains "book". 当然 means obvious, and it contains the "correct" kanji pronounced the same. Together they become "honestly". 何処 wouldn't work for the last one cause it's pronounced do and it feels off. But 何人 works and the whole sentence is "sound"✌️

The fuck is this?

So that's what I make of it 😸
