Hi Sam,

welcome to the forum. It is good you have worked out a way to spell when you can't think of the words yourself. That is very clever.

I'm sorry to hear you were bullied No-one should have to go through that because of the way they look. I hope you can find what you are looking for here at PC.

Intellectual disability is nothing to be ashamed of. You would be surprised how many people fall in this category and are never diagnosed! Even with this classification it's broken down in 3 major divisions, mild, moderate, and severe. Even up to moderate I have seen many individuals live typically normal lives working going to school, dating, getting married and even having children!

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"I have similar issues with spelling and most of my posts are done with speech-to-text program as it helps with the spelling and grammar.
