Hardly, I actually did not want to do this at first, but after close considering, I realized that my input could help raise awareness about an issue that is quite common. Hell, for all we know based off your grammar, you could be suffering from one as well. How about them apples? Craving attention?

I'm not sure I believed in LD's until my 2nd daughter was diagnosed at 5 with dyscalculia (though they didn't use that term, just math-related LD)...It's been both interesting and painful to watch her struggle. At 9 she is now above grade level reader but still has no concept of math or anything linear (chronicity, seasonality, order, etc). You give me hope. Thanks Eric for sharing your story.

By the way, how is the beatdown feeling? :)) I know, huh… Everyone around you is so immature and it’s up to you to uphold the moral high ground. By the way, how is the beatdown feeling? :))

Shedding light on learning disabilities or shedding light on a campaign trail to re-elect a senator? Hmm...tough choice. What’s more important, Aaron?

Did Eric pay you for this? Get it together.
