Dys-Oh-Alexia !

            Well my story started around 3 years ago, when I learned mathematics. I found so many things weird-rare-symbols that always confused me. The upside-down of letter ‘A’, reversed of letter ‘E’, so I was thinking, where did all these things came from?

So 3 years later, during my mathematical class with Mdm.Ehem2, she said something about a syndrome which is being called ‘Dyslexia Syndrome’. So I started to think again, what is the relationship between mathematics and that-so-called syndrome? It’s so funny to ask Mdm.Ehem2 directly during class. So, with my effort, with my own intelligence, I made research about that-so-called syndrome.

Hence, the results are as follows:

“Dyslexia is a broad term defining a learning disability that impairs a person's fluency or accuracy in being able to read, writes, and spells, and which can manifest itself as a difficulty with phonological awareness, phonological decoding, orthographic coding, auditory short-term memory, and/or rapid naming. Dyslexia is separate and distinct from reading difficulties resulting from other causes, such as a non-neurological deficiency with vision or hearing, or from poor or inadequate reading instruction. It is believed that dyslexia can affect between 5 to 10 percent of a given population although there have been no studies to indicate an accurate percentage.

 

There are three proposed cognitive subtypes of dyslexia: auditory, visual and attention. Although dyslexia is not an intellectual disability, it is considered both a learning disability and a reading disability. Dyslexia and IQ are not interrelated, since reading and cognition develop independently in individuals who have dyslexia.

Accomplished adult dyslexics may be able to read with good comprehension, but they tend to read more slowly than non-dyslexics, and may perform more poorly at nonsense word reading (a measure of phonological awareness), and spelling.”  - From Wikipedia

Now I understand where all these symbols came from. Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, they all have this syndrome. Instead of ‘A’, they wrote the upside-down of ‘A’, just to say ‘ALL’. However, based on this, I would like to conclude 1 beautiful fact in our life. It doesn’t matter if you are a disabled person, not smart, not clever, because it does not mean that you are a useless person. You just have to discover and unleash your potentials, and then you will become special.

You know what guys, life is just so beautiful J
