Does this drive you to ‘do’ more? Like make music or listen to music because it doesn’t float around in your head? Or do you seek silence ? If that’s way too personal, I apologize. It’s a way of seeing your uniqueness as an ability and learning difference rather than disability. For instance when I look at something I rotate it in my mind, nit always because I want to do so. I need other visual cues for the ‘right’ direction, which looks like I’m perpetually confused to many. Ironically it allows me to paint ‘seeing’ the image from all angles and I have learned , over time, i puck up on patterns and details others miss. What’s more if I just let that be me I hear what I paint. These are as much gifts as LD. Seriously. It does make me very sensitive to sounds , obviously, but again, it isn’t all bad. Just different. Dyslexia has a whole range of subtle specialized forms, and I personally love how I can mess with someone using the ‘look at your hands, left is the one that makes an ‘L’” I flip my hands all around and ask which one, they both do or don’t , right?

Stuff like that makes when it hurts to find something so truly challenging that others breeze past and roll their eyes at me about.

In all knowing what I learned in grad school about specialized areas on knowledge and aptitude really helped me embrace and feel relief in my own weird . I hope you find this for yourself as well.

It isn’t a wrong, it’s just different. I envy the concentration skills I image you have. The world is far too interesting for me. All the colors and smells floating around in my head can feel a bit over whelming tbh, but again, I wish for you relief and realization in knowing: unique minds ask unique questions, leading to unique answers and solutions to problems others often haven’t conceived of , yet.
