If I had known earlier that there was a reason why I was a low achiever, I may not have worked so hard in my late twenties and early thirties. I was writing. I was working for no other reason than to hear people  51  me.

Most people who  52  university read at least twice as fast as I do. I've never known my left  53  my right. I avoid dialing a telephone if I can, because I sometimes have to try three times to get the number  54 . I hear that recording "The  55  you have reached is not in service." more than any man on the earth.

In spite of my  56  I view dyslexia(朗读困难) as a gift, not something bad. Many dyslexics are good at right-brain, advanced thought, and that's what my kind of creating writing is. I' m starting with nothing and coming up with something that didn't  57  before. That' s my advantage.

I  58  my career to Ralph Salisbury, my writing  59  at the university of Oregon, who looked past my misspellings and gave me  60  and hope. I never looked  61 .

I am also very good at observing. This means nothing in school, but when I  62  books or scripts, I'm seeing everything in my  63 .

I write  64 . I go like the wind and can  65  up to 15 pages a day. Writing is not the  66 . I have no problem in downloading; it's inputting where things get jumbled(混乱).

The real  67  I have for the dyslexics is not that they have to  68  with jumbled input, but that they will give up before they finish school. Parents have to create victories  69  they can, whether it' s music, sports or arts. You want your dyslexic child to be able to say, "Yeah, reading is  70 . But I have other things I can do."
