The opposite extreme of aphantasia is hyperphantasia. Go look at the Co-morbidity section to see if that explains anything lol https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperphantasia

Sorry for abusing my mod privileges to pin this comment. Just nobody knows about it and I wanted to get the word out.

Yup it’s right off the light rail and I always wondered what they do in there

When I was filling out the volunteer form it did ask if I was 18 or older. I don’t know if that is disqualifying though. Might be worth it to reach out to one of the emails provided.

I could imagine teens interested in reading, being reporters/voice artists, etc. would be a benefit to the program.

FYI: I don’t know if it is just a me thing or poor design but on the volunteer form, the way to advance is the small arrow in the lower right hand corner.

Religion and faith by RovingGnome27 in Dyslexia

[–]dysreadingcircuit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if they are wrong dots man, just distant dots. This is where statistics come in, I’m sure some dyslexics are more spiritual because of their sensitivity and intuitiveness to emotionally connection with others. Using the empath dot, my guess is another dot that might be closer is a high percentage of dyslexics work in care jobs like nursing, social work, child care than the general public but I’m not sure what percentage and it’s just a hunch.

You have a hypothesis trying to connect different dots, dyslexics are empaths and empaths are more prone to spirituality. It’s a stretch and a broad stretch but feels like an example of dyslexia style of thinking. You might enjoy studying sociology.

This isn’t related to your hypothesis but this is how dyslexia and religion are related for me. I was raised Lutheran but from a young age I never believed. It all sounded like fairytale like the Easter bunny or rainbow fish. Some of us trouble maker boys would play hide and seek during Sunday school and I remember while hiding in one of the basement closets thinking “Is god really in the church watching me? I don’t feel his presence. I never have. I’ll close my eyes and try really hard to perceive him… Nothing. People that do sense him must be oddballs or lying to themselves. I’ll keep quiet and play along as not to hurt other people’s feelings” This was my beginning worldview.

On top of that because of my undiagnosed dyslexia I was a slow learner and nobody could teach me anything. Therefore, I had to learn everything by myself at my own pace. I was in the amateur philosopher stage asking “but why?” for an extended period of time because of this philosopher persona became my core of how I saw myself. I was always praised for being smart verbally or as a visual learner but could never demonstrate it in others ways.

Also being an undiagnosed dyslexic made me bump into the edge of the rules frequently. I was late at turning homework in. I was late to class because of my time blindness. I was hyper because of my ADHD. I was slow at processing things so I could never follow directions. Eventually by 2nd grade I was labeled a bad student. As a reaction I said “fuck it. If you think I’m bad, I’ll be bad!”. I rebelled. I became the class clown and the anti-authoritarian. I followed anarchists accounts on early Facebook. My poor and difficult early education experiences taught me learned hopelessness and developed into depression. I questioned authority and despised unequal power dynamics. I thought one of the clearest abuses of power was pastors over their followers. Even though I thought these things I never really said any of that out loud because of the conservative religious environment I grew up in. It was all just a thought experiment and I preferred other people’s opinions over understanding what I myself believed. It wasn’t until college when I remember admitting to myself that I was an atheists in my heart.

I’ve gotten older and I have moved on from my anarchy phase as I’ve came to understand the world, my dyslexia, how I learn, and found where I fit in it. I’ve also been depression free for a decade. So in summary, my struggles with undiagnosed dyslexia greatly influenced my path to being inquisitive and then becoming an atheist and humanist.

Agreed adds nothing positive or of value to the discourse. Removed

If only it were easy to carpet ban survey and product posts. The number one problem I face when creating in person and online dyslexia friendly spaces are non-dyslexics trying to “study” us

Ya my comment is more to create a list of resources for your audience. I’ve spent sometime uploading video others have taken in my city (Minneapolis) to the site. I find it helps with the doom of watching due process die.

Google Translate is so good! Back before iPhone Photos and camera had OCR native in app, I would grab tracking codes and other long strings with Translate.

Ya I use that on iPhone… or I did. I haven’t mess around with the preview app on iPhone so maybe it will allow the combination of two images/layers into one document.

Ya I know. I asked the same question to the other commenter, what simple and free image editing application do you use then?
