EC, that is an analogous story to that of my dyslexic friend. I knew right from the time I met him he was a smart cookie in spite of his lack of formal "book larnin". We'd have wonderful extended intellectual discussions on an equal basis in spite of the large disparity in the amount of formal education we had undertaken. I always envied him his ability to work with his hands and to build or fix whatever he wanted, plans or no. In fact, looking back I think his dyslexia might in some ways have been an advantage as you surmise, because he had to build his own complex internal systems and methodologies in order to do things without the aid of readings. As to correcting spelling, I can't help it. Usually when I first look at a page of text any spelling mistakes and typos jump right out at me. Needless to say, this ability terrified certain of my students... LC
