TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Cheers to Jill for bringing out this fact! I am dyslexic, but am certainly
not inferior in intelligence, nor in my ability to communicate. I just have
to triple-check things. In fact, people with similar dyslexia probably
over-compensate, and become super editors. I am not a super editor, but it
is such a large part of my lifestyle, that no doubt by the time I am 40 I
will have an extremely well-developed skill. Dare I say it? OK --I feel as
though dyslexia can be a benefit.

Jill,
You are correct. In fact, Einstein (whose name has become synonymous with
superior intelligence) was himself dyslexic.
