This is very helpful. is literally lost without his sister. I

had some directional stuff when I ws younger and when driving. I

finally was able to kick that when I took a job that required travel

all over the state. Initially I was forced to leave super early, etc.

but eventually I figured it out and it clicked. It took a few years

though. If anything now I am gifted in this area with the exception

of one part of NJ where I still get lost. I did have a very mild case

of dyslexia as a kid. My dad is dyslexic. This is of interest to me

for my boy because he and my dad are so alike and share a similar

history. How cool would it be to kick this early?

My 2 sons by my first marriage both had eye problems. Mike has amblyopia

(lazy eye) like his dad he had 2 eye surgeries to correct this. The first

surgery was when he was three and I think the second surgery was when he was 12,

Dan had dyslexia and bipolar disorder, His dad was also bipolar. Neither of them

had autism or any speech problems. Dans teachers recorded his lessons for

him. Charlotte
