Thanks for explaining Betty Jo,

So YOU think in words (amazing!!! for me that is....) and me in

images....

Re: on the way to grandmother's house!

Dear Trish:

Not " thinking in pictures " , I think I would most simply describe

as just " talking to myself in my brain. " I think about things

logically, as if carrying on a conversation, but do not necessarily

see images (I may or may not see images.) I do have very vivid dreams

frequently, but that is different from the day-to-day normal process.

Thinking the way I do facilitates, I believe, rote memorization.

I cansee words or letters in my mind (which helps at test time!!)

versus pictures. But, I am great at forgetting what I don't feel I

need after test time. (

PS -One son out of 3 shares my learning style. He is a terrific

student, and needless to say, easier for me to understand. But I love

a good challenge and will dedicate the rest of my life to trying to

better understand the other two. Where did these genes come

from !?!?!?!?!?! A better question is: how can we better help society

accept the other two as " normal " ??
