Wow! Has everyone looked at those numbers?
13 out of 30 are positive for being dyslexic!
Even in an unscientific polling, that is outrageous.
Question is, what kind of conclusions could you draw from this?
Test your kids for dyslexia? And if they are positive, than what?
I'm not sure I'd want this information to get out there.
There are other similarities for transsexuals also, Thundra.
For example, most have above average intelligence, have deep creative needs, and are deeply spiritually grounded. That is in addition to having serious depression issues, but I was trying to stay positive.
What that tells me is that transsexuals are bright witty people who deeply care about themselves and others and given the right circumstances can see life as a constant source of joy.
BTW: Dyslexia is genetic and can be passed to your children. So if you have dyslexia do have your children tested. If they are dyslexic also their condition can be dealt with using a variety of ways. There really isn't a cure or a drug that can reduce or eliminate it. Depending on how profound the condition, it may be a matter of alternative schooling or different ways of learning. Dyslexics are by and large more intelligent and quick witted and it may be a case of learning new skills to learn how to read. Of course discuss this all with your doctor, don't take anything for granted.
