It's not so strange to me that it took so long for you to find alternative paths to learning. I think too many teachers (I feign to call them educators) focus on the acronym "ADHD" - mis-using it as a label, and probably as an excuse for not wanting to deal with the student's learning issues.
I hear you about standing in front of a classroom - horror of horrors!
Thank you for sharing your story! I think you serve as an example to kids and parents who may be struggling with dyslexia, trying to overcome the stigma, worried about their chances of going to college and wondering if they can have a successful career.
About an interview...you flatter me, Todd!
OMG - two dyslexics on the phone together - what a thought, LOL!
