It caused more problems as a young kid, because the simple process of perceiving words on a piece of paper was hard for me. Many people think dyslexic people see things backwards. They don't see things backwards.
When the time comes for your brain to process the information, the second word comes up faster than the first one. So when it's in your head, all of a sudden, it comes out backwards and you think of the word backwards.
I don't think I've ever been as scared in my life as I was to be extraordinarily honest with my kids.
Welcome to the world Caitlyn. Can't wait for you to get to know her/me.
Nobody has milked one performance better than me - and I'm damned proud of it.
The first one of the girls I ever told was Kimberly.
Bruce lives a lie. She is not a lie. I can't do it anymore.
We put so much pressure on kids to excel in school at such a young age.
The truth is everybody does it from time to time. People dial telephone numbers and they get a wrong number only to find that they've read the last two digits backwards. Everybody does it, but dyslexics have this tendency to a higher degree.
I didn't only have a perceptual problem, I was also so nervous and so upset. The process just didn't work. I lost enthusiasm for school and I flunked second grade. The teachers said I was lazy.
I'm saying goodbye to people's perception of me and who I am, I'm not saying goodbye to me, because this has always been me.
I still have nightmares about taking tests.
Realize that the reason most people fail isn't because of the competition but because of the limits they place upon themselves, allowing defeat to take over. Take responsibility for your destiny. You can come up with a performance, if you can reach down and dig deep enough into your competitive soul. You can overcome tremendous obstacles.
I'm so happy after such a long struggle to be living my true self.
