He can lick his own ***?

You're failing to take into account her son's crazy Aspergers-fueled ****** strength. You can, however, distract him by asking him how to spell Aspergers & then kicking him in the nuts.

Even retards love their nuts.

Do excuse the ommision. With regards to his English sets he is not scored on his ability to spell or punctuate or use grammar. It is content oriented and he has a classroom assistant to help him with the rest. He is statemented and this is the help he gets at school. He is in a main stream school despite these problems and so, like someone who is Dyslexic, he receives assistance and certain aspects of his work, the bad aspects are taken into consideration due to his problems. Just because he cannot spell, do joined up writing or use correct punctuation does not mean he has no wonderful stories to tell, does not mean he cannot articualte verbally what he wishes to put on paper. It is a backward system that penalises someone for having certain conditions.

If all the Dyslxic people in the world were told, "***** you, thats an excuse and your getting graded a D minus for bad spelling but hey great topic and nice story, would have been an A plus if it wasnt for the fact your retarded with letters and numbers" then this would be an even ******** world to live in.

Oh....my bad, it is a ****** world we live in. In future I shall use MR X has such and such a problem and Mr Y told us Mr X is a such and such. Of course you would all then want to know who X & Y are and would take even less note of the post. I dont understand why people have such a problem with other posters talking about their family? What is the huge problem with this? I love my family and I am proud of them, just because this is a forum it does not mean I cannot talk about them. Kind of a blind last resort arguement to say "Oooh your a **** for bringing your family into it" I did not 'bring' my family in to it, I was talking 'about' my child as he was the thought behind the idea to see what kind of reaction and what sort of thoughts people tend to come out with when they see a badly spelt and worded post. If I said thanks for being Guinea Pigs you would all have said, "Well what are you testing us for?"

Long and short is that no matter what I say on here somebody will bring up a new arguement against the post or they will try and poo poo it and say I am a liar this or a moron that or squirming this or wriggling this. I just dont get it.

(I again apologise for all spelling mistakes and punctuation errors and grammatical inconsistencies, I wont correct them as I dont have time and to be honest I really dont care. If my spelling is all your going to worry about then you all have very easy lives with not much else going on lol)

No, it wouldn't. They don't need to be given a free pass on the things that the rest of us are required to do well. They need to be given more time and tools in order to be able to bring their ideas across. You don't give a person who stutters a free pass to grunt for all their communication, but instead give them a bit of time they need to get their ideas out, maybe some speech therapy to aid in that as well, so why should we completely accept someone who can't communicate in a written media to give us the written equivalent of furious grunting when they can take more time, and use tools at hand to convey their ideas?

This.

Just because it's harder for some people to communicate clearly doesn't mean that they shouldn't try. Doubly so in todays world where you're far more likely to be judged based on your ability to write than ever before. I suppose it's good for folks with speech impediments, but not so great for folks with spelling problems, but that's the way it is.

Your bosses in the future are not going to care much that you have Dyslexia. They're just going to wince when reading an email you wrote and decide that you aren't a good person to be writing said emails in the future. This will affect your job advancement in a number of fields. I know people who have really bad Dyslexia and take the time to spell properly. I know other people who don't have any excuse other than laziness and have atrocious spelling. It's not an all-or-nothing thing. It's all about degrees.


Oh. And Firefox's spell check works "ok". It has a bad habit of not recognizing a whole lot of words though, and marking them as misspelled. It's also hyper-**** about combined words and hyphens or something. For example, it flags "spellcheck", while allowing "spell-check", or "spell check". Which while technically correct is kinda ironic...
