Hi Scott!!! Nice to meet you. I have a daughter that is dyslexic and let me tell you she is by far my smartest. She is in the National Junior Honor Society as well. You sound like a pretty awesome person. Never let anyone stereotype you because of a disabilty. You can deal with it. It's hard but you can. My daughter uses color overlays while she is readingto keep her eyes from dancing all over the pages. The words all tend to run together if you read from just white paper. Blue overlays (transparencies) work wonders with helping dyslexics. I hope you get everything you want and need from life.
