dyslexia

I have dyslexia and it is a lot more than just getting numbers and letters mixed up. your brain also learns in a completly different way. for example i almost failed the first grade because i could not read. my teacher told my parents that if i could not read on a first grade level by the end of the summer she was going to have to fail me. my parents then took me to a psychologist and she diagnosed me with Dyslexia and ADD. my parents found a tutor that knew how to teach kids with dyslexia, and in 2 months i was on a 4th grade reading level. it also effects my spelling. small words such as it i forget how to spell. I am now in the 11th grade have a 4.5 GPA i am taking college classes and i am in the top 6% of my class.
having dyslexia does not mean that you are stupid.

DERPLEXIA

~Currently Proposed as a New Addition to the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) and Under Review~

DERPLEXIA: the condition or state of extreme brain pain and mind melts that occur due to any number of interactions with or knowledge of herp-a-derp type individuals.

Clincal indications of a state of Derplexia are commonly reported by individuals as including:

1. cognitive processes along the lines of "what the fuck" or "seriously?", which often coincide with

2. physiological changes as commonly seen in persons experiencing anger or rage, and

3. behavioral manifestations such as placing one's palm to forehead (facepalming), discontinuation of prior activities (so as to give their full attention to attempting to process and assimilate new info), or other indicators of disbelief and perplexity of thought.

Research to date is still in preliminary stages, thus therapeautic interventions are quite limited. Currently, the only effective treatment known is full or partial extermination of either the herp-a-derp type of individual or the suffer's own life, and a full discontinuation of all herp-a-derp topics in conversation.
Person 1: <<insert some random reference to a herp-a-derp person or celebrity>>

Person 2: <<awkward pause of silence/looks of disgust>>
"Ugh, I hate when you tell me these weird stories. I always don't feel so well afterwards. And now my head hurts... thanks buddy..."

Person 1:
"Oops. I hope you don't have Derplexia! That stuff is serious!"

Time Zone Dyslexia

A condition where the sufferer routinely adds or subtracts wrong when planning things in more than one time zone.

Side effects include missed appointments, multiple calendar resends, manic tap-dancing through that presentation you thought was 2 hours from now. Adrenaline, cringing, lame apologies.

Coping mechanisms: OCD-like checking of the hour; counting out from East to West coast on your fingers. Pinky: Eastern is 1 pm; Ring finger is Central - so, noon; Pacific is the pointer, that'd be 10 a.m. - right? Right?
You told NYC to dial in at 10 but Chicago at 11; so is the call for 10 or 12EST?
D'oh! 10EST. Sorry - Time Zone Dyslexia.
