words disappear

I am scotopic meaning the words disappear or twist as I am reading. Does that mean I have a learning disability??? Technically why yes, yes I do! Thanks for asking and I never would have known if my brothers hadn't been tested when they entered elementary school.

So what is Scotopic exactly? Irlen Institute the place that diagnosed me is the main agency who discovered this disability. They did a study on me because I did what was called "adapt" to the learning environment doing what I needed excel at school. They said that I would be lucky to graduate let alone go to college and succeed well I graduated high school and college. I never did listen to them and figured well if I am not supposed to do good then I will prove them wrong, and I DID!! Going all the way to calculus and doing tons of science, getting A's in classes that should be difficult and not until my Senior year did I get "disability" services for chemistry (hated it). The teacher was horrible let alone the material was not easy to learn. Needless to say I went a different route and Forensics called my attention as did Victimology. So I got my Criminal Justice degree specializing in Victimology, Forensics and Photography.

Take that statistics that said I would fail.
