Story - Hartwig Distler

I have learned verbally and in writing (letters). At the beginning I could say or write only a few letters. One hour passed and I only got a few
letters finished. After some time I always wrote the characters pre site (every site), or I spelled a character for some time. At the beginning I
adhered strictly the order ("ABC"). After some time I selected the letters purely coincidentally. Then I began with large and lower case. At the
beginning I wrote each character for one page. Then with the time I began to write the characters randomly. At the beginning I wrote small and
large letters separate, but after some time I mixed them all. The whole process lasted up to more than one year. I naturally made other little
things in the meantime (learned).
Then I made very short sentences. I made "child sets". And then sometime more complex sentence. Always all piece for piece. Always a little
more. Both reading and writing are still very far away from normality. You have to learn to get patient. And always learn, learn, learn and learn
to get practice again. I repeat it very often that it is the "Alpha" and "Omega" of learning.
During the writing I often notice, that I don't get the correct letter. It takes there some moments until I identify the correct letter. I have already
written that before, that during reading I sometimes recognize that I read something different completely different from what I actually read.
My daughter I now three. Fortunately I can already again to some extent read for her. Above all that is also a good exercise. Especially it is
good that I have to read stories many times, reading it again and again. For example I read out the jungle book in this month already 20 times.
And every time it gets better and better!

Name memory
I have still difficulties to notice names. The whole thing begins already with the discussion of name. I have always thought that the learning of
names should be very fast. But that is not the case, instead it goes very difficult to recognize and remember names. I remember vaguely that
the name memory is decreasing with the age, but that alone cannot be the reason for it. There must be more behind it. One of the problems is
surely that reading and writing of the names is very difficult. I can note a person relatively fast, but not the name. Even with persons from the
family circle it took a very long time to remember their names. I.e. to connect their faces with their names. It became somewhat better in the
meantime, but it is still far away from being normal.
If you read foreign names, e.g. a Russian one, or a Japanese, or Chinese one it is very difficult to put the names together. With such names it
can take very long to get it correct. This is including the pronouncement which is often very difficult. Reliably, there I had problems before my
illness already often determine names to express be able. Of course, I had already those problems before I got ill, because it was always
