Overcoming Dyslexia

After a spate of books by parents on rearing disabled children - The Boy In the Moon, All I can handle, The Anti Romantic Child (yet to read), My Dyslexia too has the same reason for existence, only this parent too has faced the problem as his child.
Author Philip Schultz understood very late in life that he suffered from dyslexia when his son was diagnosed with it. In this book, he explains how his lack of understanding of his situation isolated him socially and thus the solitary conditions were ripe for his becoming a writer.
It is ironic that even though the author is not a good follower of his religion, his insecurity and complicated relation with it in writing lets others find a great spiritual meaning for other readers.
The author makes an interesting comparision between being a dyslrxic and a writer.
May be we can expect something like Just like someone without mental illness only more so from Eli Schultz.
