Ty for putting this video out. I was diagnosed with Dyslexia when I was a child. ( I had early signs) I always struggled remembering things. I thought something was wrong with me for a long time. Now in my adult life i'm realizing, this is all part of the disability. Honestly you don't know how reassuring this is to hear. The amazing part about dyslexia is that I accel in a lot of other areas. Writing code for websites has been super easy for me bc there's only rules to follow. Ask me to write a paragraph of English and I'm running away lol.
I have more issues on top of this stuff 💔 . While 🤦🏻♀️ one finger typing 🤷🤦🏻♀️My fingers sometimes go to the wrong letters on the keyboard . I’m not talking about hitting the wrong letters around the intended letter . I’m talking about starting to type different words than the deammed words 🤦🏻♀️ I was I tending to type 🤯 , it drives me crazy 🤬. I’ll give you an example of how bad this kind of shit gets with me - some days . I am so inconsistent ….despite the fact that I have been using this SAME IPad since 2017 - the predictive text can not consistently predict my patterns . I can type a word during a post , spell it correctly ….then within a few lines down the post … I’ll go to use the same word again 👉FOR EXAMPLE - civilisation - . The next time I try to spell it , it’s gone from my mind ….I’ll try a few times . The world selection options can not tell what word it was I was trying to use 🤦🏻♀️💔…. I end up having to copy and paste the word From my previous use of it 🤯🤬 WHTF IS WRONG WITH ME 💔😢. 55 years old now …. it’s been this way my entire life . From childhood up u until today . It’s SO FUKN FRUSTRATING. If I had a dollar for every time I’d herd the word’s at the schools iv been to , oh ‘’ he is intelligent He just needs to apply himself . Or , Oh - he just doesn’t want to learn . It’s heartbreaking 💔 it’s soul crushing 💔 55 years on this earth .i know I’m not stupid - when the planets are aligned ,and if the wind is blowing in the right direction lol Dow ; I have fixed things people thought were impossible to fix ….sometimes when my mind is working like a normal person’s mind …. and for an hour at best …I feel normal . My mind will work and I will do some random task without a problem ….but it NEVER LASTS . I USED TO DO the rubix cube every day ,many times a day ….like a passive focus meditation thing . I did this for year’s ….and wore out many rubix cube’s . The last time a rubix cube broke , it took me about 4 weeks to get a replacement cube . I mixed it up - and my mind went blank 🤯🤦🏻♀️ . Despite trying …. It has not come back to me . I have been playing squash for almost 20 year’s . I can not keep track of the score . I sometimes need to help score games for other people playing . Sometimes I can score 2 or 3 games perfectly , and then my brain 🧠 just loses the plot 🤦🏻♀️💔 and I’ll have to get someone else to take over . WHTF is that all about 👉?🧠?👈 . All my life living like this It hurts me so deeply you can’t imagine . HAS ANYONE seen this kind of problem . Remember this is not age related - I have lived with this shit all my life . To look at me - and talking with me , you would never know I have a problem , outside of depression. 👣🦘🙏 help ..
Im dyslexic and i work at SpaceX. I spent my whole life thinking i was stupid but now i know in not! I just visually see things differently, her example when she raised the letter b then flipped it to a d and p then a q. Is the prefect example for me. I see a b but i also see that it can be something else. I grew up failing at everything in school but mechanicaly i just know how things work. Its also like if i look at an image long enough about something mechanical i can envision how it works. I used to take things apart and put them back together. My mom always told my i like taking things apart just to put it back together but i was really taking things apart so i could a sure myself that the way i envisioned that thing working was actually how it worked. Im not saying im smarter because im terrible at a lot of things it just took me a bit to realize what im good at.
My new 60 year old husband is dyslexic. He is 15 years older than me. It is so frustrating because he does not process information the same as i do. Im trying to help him and be patient however, he has become really stubborn as he ages.
I have ADHD and I have dyslexia but I never got tested for dyslexia only for ADHD when I got diagnosed with ADHD I was put on medication because it didn't take much for me to go off task I was always fidgeting I would shake my leg like you thought I had to pee real bad
Thank you!! I have been shamed my whole life for not being able to spell. I was a "special Ed" student. dyslexia is my SUPER POWER. It's a gift. That mechanism in my brain which makes me dyslexic is the same mechanism that makes me artistic. Dyslexia is my SUPER POWER!!!
Seidenberg & most SoR proponents are critical of the What Works Clearing House (@16.50mins), probably because it does not support their views, it does not report strong evidence for what Mark claims. The big question then is, if u dismiss the WWC, who then decides what the evidence for anything is?
I am 35 years old and the doctors said i would out grow it. And i was called a problem child in grade school. I am from an indian reservation (navajo) and ADHD/learning disabilities are relativity new to my tribe and my community. So, throughout school i was labeled a problem child.
As a Dyslexic I too must do one thing at a time. Have a tendency to forget unless I do it right away.Most often it's not on a regular schedule. Or in the middle doing something else.
I was looking for a helpful video with support. But got more help from the comments because this lady clearly doesnt believe in her child. My child may not get to the destination at the same time as the other children, but my child will get there in their own time. He will do great things.
I don’t know if you’ll ever see this. I’m an adult with an APD. Found out senior year after retesting for my IEP. I asked what it was and she (the teacher )tried to explain and then laughed when I didn’t understand. (I understand the irony lol ). When I watch this, I feel like you explained my brain. I have such a better understanding now. I’m even sharing this with my sons teacher! Thank you for this 🙏🏻
I think I’m more in the middle, I can kinda process information. But my brains like “every information is important, you have to remember it all” and I cannot because sometimes, I listen to the video and then instantly forget what it said.
