    Default Mixedgas needs data- poll attached

    I'm looking for a correlation between something with laser speckle and personal learning issues. I need some rough numeric answers.

    Please participate honestly in the following poll. I ask that you only answer YES if you have a confirmed diagnosis or absolutely know you have a learning problem. If your pretty confident you have a problem, but do not have a formal diagnosis, there is "I Think I Have Problem" .

    This post needs to be taken VERY seriously, I need some hard data to get a professional to look at a theory of mine. Please no jokes or off color humor.

    This is not a scientifically constructed poll. Do not read anything into it until a more formal test can be constructed.

    Thank you for your time.

    Steve

    I have minor dyslexia, d's and b's, E's and 3's look the same, I tend to type words with mixed up letters and my hand writing is poor for the same reason... Nothing has been diagnosed though; it has never bothered me enough to talk with a Dr. I do love da lasers. I'll hold off on voting until you respond.

    I just voted "I think"... I must admit I never thought of it as a learning disability so it must not be too bad.

    I'm going to hold off on commenting until I see what the poll shows.

    I got a weird one... I can't distinguish left from right without looking at my hands and finding the "L" shape with my index finger and thumb...
    I'm also ambidextrous though. Not in writing (left handed) but in just about everything else. Yes, I am a nerd.

    can you specify "none of the above" please steve?

    i just voted "none of the above", but i think "I have no learning disabilities in reading or math" is more appropriate for me. i just read too quickly and i skipped the right one for me
    "its called character briggs..."

    Hey Adam you're a lefty too(sort of)! My Mum and Dad are both lefties as well as myself, my brother and sister. My two youngest sisters are right handed. It's funny, I always feel this strange sense of kinship with other left handers.

    There are so many thing that are only made to be used with your right hand. After awhile you re-wire and you actually are better at doing them with your right hand.
