I went to school with someone dysgraphic. I edited all his papers because he couldn’t spell the same word five times in a row with the same spelling. While the profs were aware, we very tightly link mental capacity with linguistic capacity and even with the best of intentions his inability to spell would cause marks to go down.
Well to be fair, that link of intellect to language is something NTs can’t help either. That’s their wiring. Indeed I’ve used that wiring to hack judges in some of my students’ speech competitions back in the day. It works really well. 😂
Haha I’m neurodiverse
Edit: thus the spelling errors
And I’m tall.
But not very forgiving. You’d think your head being so far away from the problems would give you a little more space to be kind.
Low clearance for bullshit.
And apparently also very nice.
I mean, you seem nice.
People do tend to remark how nice I am. I’ve got them all fooled.
This isn’t reddit. You can edit your post to fix the title here.
There’s a lot of comments about my spelling, so I’m leaving it so it makes sense to people that join the thread late
Are you looking for “dyslectic”?

Yep, classic neurodiverse problem. We’re held to a neurotypical way of working despite our brain being wired different
