The Labour MP for Blackley Manchester Graham Stringer has said that Dyslexia doesn't exist, its just "Cruel Fiction" that its just a cover up for poor educational standards and should be consigned to the Dustbin of History, I really have to wonder where they actually dig these people up from. When a person makes such a sweeping statement that offends so many people in fail swoop, makes me wonder why he's in public life. Dyslexia is real and does exist an is very real, I know that for a fact, because I suffer from it. I have word blindness, in as much I read words that arn't there, I transpose letters in words they sometimes appear back to front and until about 15 years ago I didn't have a clue about. I started thinking about this word blindness when I became an avid crossworder and I was seeking words which quite honestly I'd read wrong, when your trying to find a word in a crossword and your looking a wrong meaning makes the outcome a little hard, to say the least. Like a lot of members on here I do the daily quiz, but I'll never win it because I'm just not quick enough reading the questions, and answering, but at 62 ask me if I'm bothered, not one little bit, I far more pressing problems than worrying about jumbled up words in my head, breathing is my priority, but people like Stringer should think before making these statements offending so many, especially as he seems to have difficulty stringing two words together coherently at times himself
