The Intriguing Consequences of a Lack of Communication Between the Two Hemispheres of the Brain
It makes things harder than they need to be
It must have distressed my parents when I was a baby when it was time to sit up, crawl, and walk. I didn’t reach those milestones when I was supposed to. My mom told me stories of how she would be in tears because I couldn’t understand how to tie my shoes.
My parents thought they had some clarity when the doctors diagnosed my Dyslexia. How surprised they would be if they knew. Years after they passed away I found out Dyslexia wasn’t my problem.
My brain is wired differently, not a big deal at all
It was an honest mistake, I guess. Missing benchmarks is also symptomatic of Dyslexia. The “ Brain Damage” trope my parents rammed down my throat also makes sense.
It makes sense because I was born with agenesis of the corpus callosum. The corpus callosum is a white matter tract. It connects the human brain’s two hemispheres.
It could be a problem, one side needs to know what the other is doing, I guess.
The corpus callosum allows the two hemispheres to communicate with each other…
