A BIT ABOUT ME: My disabilities vs abilities

Now as we get started I want you to meet the person behind the material so you can relate with the information you will read through-out my websites, my materials, my group postings, my books, my manuals, and the person who authored them.

This statement is very important to me for several reasons. The most important one that comes to mind is that I have authored many books, software, materials, and moderate many groups. In addition it gives you a chance to see what I can offer and my abilities and disabilities and wheather you as the reader are comfortable with my diction, my spelling, and my puncation errors (my disability). Next after that we will discuss a bit about what I expect from myself, my viewers, my members, and my students, as I could not ask them to do something that I would not.

I have been a cancer patient most of my life, I have died on the operating table and came back after seeing heaven, this is even documented in my medical records. With the types of cancer I had as a child most adults never made it back to their home, God rest their souls. I did. 

I also have what is known as by many individuals Autistic tendencies, this is not a true form of Autism mind you. I do not often speak of it, because I am so mildly effected. I also do not because I do not like to accept it, for then it can become so much a part of my life that it becomes more a disability functioning to my life.

I do not have mental or emtional issues, problems, or otherwise need any professional or medicines in this area. I also do not require therapy, medicines, down times, etc any more then any other neuro-typical (normal individuals). My disabilities are not as common as many disabilities or disorders they are much different.

I learn at great speeds, I can quickly apply and adapt that knowledge making it profit/improve the topic I am working on at any given moment. I can keep my focus in that area at 150% as stated by friends and peers. I can move those fields forward in ways they had not yet experienced, or simply aid in areas of expertise. I love helping people in general and the children are my greatest focus for they are innocent. (my abilities)

When most people go to sleep the rest their head on there pillow and gently drift off to sleep. For me this is different. When I go to sleep I rest my head also on my pillow. I close my eyes just like you; however, my brain continues working. The best way to describe this is like a computer. For instance I am trying to go to sleep but my mind is working on situation 1 and I am looking for the best answer, while I am trying to sleep my mind starting going through the scenarios one by one. So at this point I think that I am not going to think about it until tomorrow. I snuggle into the pillow confident that I will sleep. Now situation 2 starts to play through its entirety.

To me this is a disability; others view it as ability as it allows me to get things done quickly, or research things at 5 – 10 times the speed of most individuals. Please understand there is no ego involved as sometimes this can intimidate people as I have over 8 pages of titles and achievements, 82 world awards, 8 flags flown in Washington, DC in my honor making history two separate years and so much more. Since I do not require a lot of sleep I can accomplish things at great speed, because I am not constrainted by an 8-10 hour night of sleep.

I learn at such great speeds I carry several PhD’s, other various degrees, and several certifications. I do not try to hide these things but have you ever tried signing a letter with 8 pages of titles? I can tell you it is a pain and very redundant except the ones closet to your heart and that it is not what makes the person. I found it is who you are inside that counts! I am who I am and that is all nothing more nothing less. No wings no halo, just me is what you get.

I sometimes get people who are title listers and once you have gotten where I have it is a real turn off. Some individuals may state I am illeriate, But I do not fit the text book defination, because I can read and write things very well. Once you overlook the errors. I have tried various spell checking software but even they miss common things in which those who are critical would still judge. It at this point would not matter how many degrees I obtain, these people would still view me as stupid, or ignorant.

It simply does not make the person behind the title. That is the person I want to know, the real person inside that will affect or effect what they do with their lives and others. This is the person that should be projected outside. I prefer to emit the inside, from the heart and depth of my soul.

One of my other disabilities is on a not so good day I may have problems spelling various words or I may speak in a way that may rub some people wrong. Such as improper diction, though you can understand the merit of what I am saying and understand completely what I have said.

Today there are still some people that cannot get past this and is a real issue for them. Some people think if they tutor me or "educate" me I will somehow change. This just is not happening. Though I realize it is a problem, frustrating as it may be for you the reader it is more so for me as an individual. I am an educated, learned individual with several degrees yet simple cannot get this simple concept. It is utterly flabergasting to me. SO instead I hope you will use an open mind, show tolerence for my disabilities, and see my for the wisdom and knowledge in what I teach and live and have learned.

Since I am not teaching language arts, spelling, diction, or proper use of the english language, I have learned to accept this and be tolerant of it as I hope you an open minded indiviaul would do and as I do when I read yours. No one person is perfect and I never claim to be.

Though you may question wheather someone who can mispell could write superior programs, the answer is yes. I encourage you to try the free programs and see for yourself. The question in your mind is not weather I can spell or not, oe even if I can make the program work. The question in your mind is can you make it work or duplicate outcomes others have had. Until you prove that for yourself with your own experiences that question will remain unanswered. My suggestion is simply to do just that find out. Otherwise you will always wonder if it could have.

Please do not be offended by anything I say as I say things pretty literal as I see them. Merely see it for what it is, a part of the tendencies or disability. Included in this once in a while on a not so good day I may speak in the third term. Saying "we" or "us" instead of me or I. These things are a source of frustration to me more then it is for the reader or the student. Anyone heard of a person with genius levels in learning yet has problems spelling something sometimes? Well that is me.

I sit back and think how much I have learned over the years, the several certifications I have earned degrees and doctrines yet on a not- so – good day a simple word may escape me. On this note in these materials in the intention sections you will see a lack of Capitol words and lack of punctuation this is on purpose as in the program you DO NOT use these things. I wanted to show you this and illustrate it for you so you would get in the habit when writing your own.
