Dude. It took me far longer than it should have to get that.

What the hell kind of drugs help dyslexia?
My dad has worked with kids with dyslexia my whole life. I have never heard him talk about any drugs that help. That's crazy talk.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
HA!
I'm not laughing at you, Emily, more at the fact that I got to read them together, so I have no idea if I'd have gotten it on my own.
David Geffen has a school of medicine at UCLA. I'm not sure if knowing my new ENT's affiliation with said school would have affected my decision to see him.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

It took me longer than it should have and I said it.

Okay, I just registered for the Math MTEL. It'll be right before my last week of summer classes, so I'm nervous about not having any time to study. Also, it cost me 120 dollars. That's on top of the 90 dollars I paid last year to take the Communications & Literacy MTEL (the "General" test, which makes sure you can, like, speak and read English) and is separate from the 100 dollars it'll take to apply for licensure.
Okay, granted, all these fees are a year apart, and compared to what it costs to take the bar or other professional licensure requirements I understand that it's dinky, but... it's still annoying.

What the hell kind of drugs help dyslexia?
Kids with dyslexia are often (mis)treated with stimulant drugs, or antidepressants, or even antipsychotics. The drugs are given based on the disruptive/withdrawn/disorganized behavior that is associated with undiagnosed dyslexia in the classroom, not for the dyslexia itself. Assuming that Tom was as likely to be misdiagnosed as often as other boys of his generation, I suspect that his is right about this.
Not a justification for being a nut about medication later in life, though.

Also, I dreamed last night that I was teaching a math class and had some time to kill so told them they could ask me about anything. They asked me about modernism, and I had to try to remember the details of my senior year seminar from eleven years ago.

Rick, you have no tagline! (For posterity: )
You're such an enigma.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I still don't.
