I went to school with someone dysgraphic. I edited all his papers because he couldn't spell the same word five times in a row with the same spelling. While the profs were aware, we very tightly link mental capacity with linguistic capacity and even with the best of intentions his inability to spell would cause marks to go down.
Yep, classic neurodiverse problem. We're held to a neurotypical way of working despite our brain being wired different
Well to be fair, that link of intellect to language is something NTs can't help either. That's their wiring. Indeed I've used that wiring to hack judges in some of my students' speech competitions back in the day. It works really well. 😂
Haha true! Love the hack it's really smart
