People with dyslexia have a distinct advantage over non-dyslexics when it comes to choosing personalized number plates.

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.
Hint: quite often with personalised plates people read the 7 as a T

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 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 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!

My daughter was diagnosed as having a mild form of dyslexia, then after we took her to an opticians it was discovered she was astigmatic. A pair of glasses made a huge difference to her, we felt guilty about it all for not considering the possibility but she did pick up quite quickly thankfully before she went to senior school.
I have a slight problem in that I cannot for the life of me tell what certain things, mostly talking about language here. I was about 17 before I could tell the difference between Tuesday and Thursday, it was always "the day after tomorrow" that sort of thing, to cover it up. I am an avid reader, mostly history which I have a great interest in, there is no way could I tell you what a noun is, or a sub-verb or whatever. I write for an angling magazine (closed subscription) and am quite happy to do so, but have to re-read many times to make sure it sounds right in my head before I press print.
My problems are miniscule compared to many others, I do sympathise with people who have problems of this sort. I do like to take the pee though, and expect it in return.

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....
My wonderful girlfriend likes to remind that I am generally deficient at every opportunity she gets!

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 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.

Fascinating that, mate. Inspirational. Do you still consider it to fall in to the dyslexia category or a memory function disorder? Or....?

Just a thought, but could the OP be of foreign origin?

The joys of text speak and predictive text. When it's not available it shows how badly some people spell.
