Another Goodbye
« on: December 08, 2004, 06:35:33 PM »
Four weeks ago my young lad was diagnosed as being dyslexic, it wasn't such a huge shock as we had suspected for a while that such a bright young man shouldn't have trouble reading, writing and spelling.

I "fly" GMT 17:00 for an hour or so, well this is the time that he needs help with homework and some good old fashioned time with his Dad.

So ....  I have made the decision to quit and cancel the game so as I can concentrate on my boy.  

All the best to you all and the game in General.

Thanks HTC for a few years of fun and thanks to the community at large for making this a fun place to be.

Wishing you well and good hope with your lad.  

I'm not a father but I am dyslexic. There is a whole world of help out there these days. Dedictaed teachers, schools etc.  I'm sure you've already been filled in.

Unfortunaly in my day Dyslexia wasn't catered for.  I didn't really learn to read untill I was 15 / 16.  Through Junior school I had extra night classes, extra home work (mostly copying) and the humilation of being made to read out load in class.  As you could imagine, I soon switched off and became adept at hiding my problem. When I was in my early teens the only thing that helped me to read was errr a stash of mens mags I found.  I darn well read every copy...twice lol.  Then it dawned on me that I was actually reading.  Learning to read became rewarding for a change.  

So, now at 42 I read slower than most but I do read.  Spelling catches me out but isn't as big a problem as it once was. However, wild horses couldn't make me read out load....  lol.

I'm not suggesting you bring home that latest copy of "Big un's"  My point is DON'T make it a chore and please stay positive.
