Dyslexic's of the world untie.
People with dyslexia have a distinct advantage over non-dyslexics when it comes to choosing personalized number plates.On a side note does anyone else see the unintended, but so apt, funny in the private plate of this one. Or maybe it was intended.https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Range-Rover-tdv8/322965438491?_trkparms=aid=888007&algo=DISC.MBE&ao=1&asc=49130&meid=1ce95ab3a886475c866b91776d421f25&pid=100009&rk=1&rkt=2&sd=152844900669&_trksid=p2047675.c100009.m1982
True but have you noted the amusing bit of it. Or at least I found it funny. Not the RR and not the the Ovr , which are both obvious and most likely deliberate.People with dyslexia have a distinct advantage over non-dyslexics when it comes to choosing personalized number plates.
Oh so wholeheartedly yes, if I was too straight laced about it and got uptight when people chastise me for forgetting who they are or where I was meant to be that day, I'd go insane.......... I do like to take the pee though, and expect it in return.
I see it as RR ROT OVER , once translated into non-personal plateIt's a good number, i'll give you tha7
I see Roll Over?
But you see ROT I gather?
If youre lucky enough to live to a ripe old age you may find that very same condition will revisit you, then you can spend all your time looking for stuff you just put down a minute ago.I was diagnosed when I was 14 with Ante Retrograde Amnesia - I have no short term memory - I had to learn methods of converting the present into long term memory for subsequent recall, else I forget almost everything.
I used to forget where I lived after a session in the pub or if I pulled.Wish I knew there was a medical diagnosis I could have used as an excuse, would have saved me a fortune in divorce settlements.![]()
Most people consider Dyslexia to be reading, writing and numbers - but the definition of Dyslexia is a specific learning disability which is primarily involving reading and writing etc.

I was given the definition of being dyslexic as I had a specific learning difficulty. When the psychologists report was given to the school (as back then the assessment was done by a private clinic called the Dyslexia Institute which used to be in Staines and not by the schools) at first most of the teachers dismissed it as wrong as I could read, write and was good at maths and science....it wasn't until my German language teacher sat with the other teachers to discuss the matter and point out that Dyslexia is not just the narrow band they thought it was but encompassed a whole raft of other learning difficulties that they finally understood my difficulties in remembering my class timetable, what book we were meant to read, who my classmates were and even what day it was and cut me a bit of slack rather than calling me a lazy, disruptive scoundrel who will amount to very little!
I still have to use those techniques taught to me to remember things, and the majority of the time it involves giving a tactile sensation to help the brain learn what is currently going on, so I either tap my fingers together, rub a piece of cloth or pick my finger nails - anything that I can use to invoke a memory.
Smell is a powerful memory invoking sensation, I have just learnt to use touch and feel as a memory jogger to allow me to remember everything - even where I live and who my partner and daughter are!
Fascinating that, mate. Inspirational. Do you still consider it to fall in to the dyslexia category or a memory function disorder? Or....?![]()
