Judging from friends comments a large number of people in all engineering and science are dyslexic. This may be due to it being the only (except fine art) openings for high IQ dyslexics. The odd thing is that many have very good spacial awareness in that they can 'see' a finished 3-D structure (and 'walk' through it) from 2D plans. My wife (highly non-dyslexic) more-or-less can't do this. My kids could 'spin' 3D structures in their heads at age about 7, automatically keeping tabs on faces and so on. This is my only hint that a slightly different hard- wiring of the brain may be the cause, and may be an exchange rather than a liability. Strangely most high power mathematicians I have come across are NOT dyslexic but physiscists often are. Please also to note that many of the disbilities (like many disabilities) can be minimised by training and hard work. One key is to **realise** that you have a problem and appreciate why you have to work harder than others do (and always will). -- Oz
