I'm Dyslexic and It's the reason I've been successful who else?

My son in elementary school is currently dealing with dyslexia that he inherited from me. So lately I've been a little more sensitive to the topic. 

I suppose most see this as a curse and I've continued to ponder the topic since that never really sat well with me.    Sure, i struggled like crazy in my English classes.    I failed Spanish without any hope of getting anywhere.     Hebrew school was basically torture.   I remember my teachers looking down on me like I was a lost cause.     This poor soul that will never figure it out.     Then there was math class, in the third grade we use to do these silly 100 problem tests and had 5 minutes to do it.    I always was the first kid finished, it pretty much was always flawless and for kicks, one day i did 5 tests before the time ran out.      

Dyslexia is the main reason I've been able to flip 75 properties this year, without the highly analytical skills it helped me develop I never would of been able to push to these levels.    In my family tree as far as i can go back I can't find anyone that thinks like I do.   So now I'm curious, how many of you have this advantage like i do?
