All throughout my life I have suffered from dyslexia. Dyslexia is a disability dealing with how a person sees letters. It affects their ability to read and spell but is has nothing to do with their level of intelligence. Dyslexia occurs at all levels of intelligence: highly gifted, above average, average, sub-average. Experts agree that this disability is caused by a neurological wiring difference. But all too often, society sees it as sub-average intelligence. Most dyslexics can learn to compensate with specially trained professionals helping them. That was not the case for me. Forty-seven years ago when I was in Elementary School, my disability was classified on the same level as mental...

Accident Claim Experts
Contrary to popular belief, making an accident claim is not too hard a task. Obviously, in order to be eligible to claim compensation, the accident must not be your own fault.

Some nights you may have two beers and feel a buzz, while other nights you're almost at ten and still feel unsatisfied. Binge drinking is common among drinkers.
