Dyslexia and the Brain 

Truth is Dyslexic people have to find their own way of learning as they grow up. You have to study 3x as hard as an average person to understand how you learn and use that technique to in the future and find ways to improve it.

I’m dyslexic, left handed, adhd and dysgraphic. I went to Groves Academy, and now I can read just as fast as non dyslexics. I’m taking 4 AP courses, which I never believed I would ever be able to do. Up to fourth grade, I couldn’t read, and my executive function (ability to plan, then execute action) was in shambles. It took so much effort every day, but you can do it!!

I always thought I was just stupid as a kid. I remember putting in so many hours studying and doing homework. I knew no one studied as hard as I did, then to have a test put in front of you and have your brain rearrange your thoughts and almost forget how you did anything was one of the most frustrating things I deal with growing up..it would bother me so much and I’d shame myself because I thought everyone else has dealt with the same thing. Come to find out, after many years and after graduating HS my mom told me I have been dyslexic since I was a child. After doing more research I realized that part of my struggles were due to being a dyslexic. And looking back as a kid, and remembering the times I would read words backwards & my ultimate struggle in English in general, it made all the more sense for me. It’s just comforting to know that I’m not the only one that has dealt with this.

Im dyslexic and love reading, but prior to watching this video I never really thought about how much mental effort it takes for me to read, I thought it was normal to have to mentality read the word in letter by letter in order to actually process it, but it turns out that most people can just look at a word and reckonize it!

Emotional intelligence is underrated.... thought I would share that ....

I did 9 years of a reading program named Wilson reading it helped a lot and taught me why words are the way they are

Why is dyslexia such a hard word to spell why can't it be a nice three letter word?

I’m dyslexic left handed and have adhd. I was also told I couldn’t hear phonics which just seems part of the dyslexia. I had to memorize every word I learned to spell and pronounce. There’s no cheat for me maybe now that I’m older I can process words together like that of someone using a phonetic structure to sound a new word out. I also was highly skilled in arts and have always had praise over my ability in art and have always been casted as very talented. I guess it evened out my self esteemed. Regardless I don’t hide my dyslexia. I’m not ashamed of it. We all have what we have and it’s a blessing to be able to look at the world in a different way. It also teaches you discipline. Reading out loud has always helped me. It was the biggest fear of mine when I was younger now I try to do it as much as I can because it’s the only thing that helps me get better is practice.

as a kid when reading in groups i was one of the few kids who sounded out words they didnt know instead of just passing it over. but then this kid shamed me for stopping to try to figure it out and just said we'll skip over you.

I was diagnosed with dyslexia at a very early age. Around the second grade. I had become very good about hiding the fact that I couldn’t read. When they found out that I had been faking it which is a whole Nother story… They got me hooked on phonics.I used hooked on phonics for about a year. My parents took me back to be re-examined for my learning disability. Which I call difference! They found out that I was deaf to phonics. Still to this day I am unable to hear sounds and all my recognition is done by site and memorization. If I haven’t seen a word in a long time I will not be able to spell it or read it. I did not graduate high school. At the age of 32 I went to college with my husband‘s encouragement! I was retested and was given the ability to take tests in private and also longer times on these tests. Sometimes I felt as if I was back in the body of the seven-year-old girl trying not to cry. But with my husband‘s help and also being able to use The computer for spellchecker essay reader etc. I was able to flourish in a college environment. I had to advocate for myself the whole way. I’ve had many role models in my life that were dyslexic. They also helped me to keep going. I graduated with two Degrees and student of the year! Looking back it was a horrible experience as a child. There where teachers and special ed teachers that would get so mad at me that they would scream at me because I could not recognize the difference between them they in those. Or was when why etc. I was called stupid by classmates as well as teachers. I would be put in the corner of the classroom with a cardboard box thing that would wrap around me to punish me for not knowing my spelling test words. If You got a bad grade on your spelling test you were not allowed to watch movies. So I spent almost every Friday as a little girl at the corner of the class with a cardboard curtain around me. The amount of pain that this caused was horrific. I had extremely low self-esteem as a child and as a teenager. I became a mom at 17 years old. It’s so crazy to me that people can say so easily “oh I have dyslexia to“ But they’re able to read a book. I am almost 50 years old and I I have never been able to read a book that is above a six grade reading level without difficulty. I had to memorize every book that I read to my girls! By the time they were in the fourth grade I was asking them how to spell words. I truly am not someone who says I have something worse than someone else. But growing up I only remember one other kid having issues like me. Maybe it’s more common now and it gets diagnosed more often. But I sat in the classroom with 30+ students Every year and I was the one kid that was pointed out as the stupid kid. So now when I bring it up I don’t correct people or minimize the pain that they might have gone through or still be going through. I just don’t think that most people get me. I don’t like that sentence! Any time you start off with I don’t think it’s not good! Lol. I don’t understand why this is not a bigger topic! I am almost 50 years old in the pain to this day is unmeasurable. I know that there’s a lot of people out there like me that don’t have a voice. I could go on and on about this for literally hours with my experiences in fact if I could write a book I would. The most important thing that I can say at this point is that if you’re Reading this and you think that your child might have dyslexia you need to be an advocate 100% for your child! It could be the difference between life and death literally. If the school system tells you that they think there might be something wrong with your child then you make them test that child. Fight for your child! Do not let them take your kid out of sports because they’re not doing well in class. These children need their sports in order to reprogram their brains and calm them in order to focus better in class. Try to remember that books are an opening to imagination. When a child cannot read a book by themselves they are locked out of this experience. Read to your children. Thank you so much if you took the time to read this!❤

Dyslexics are often really skilled at connecting dots between complex themes and image recognition. Yes, reading may be difficult asf, but there is so much more to life than just reading. I consider myself lucky I am a good reader but one of our kids struggles hard and that’s why I’m here trying to help him.

I’m 51 years old, left handed, had a crippling childhood stammer, struggled at school with reading and word pronunciation and have just found out today that I am Dyslexic. So many things in my life now make sense following a very extensive conversation today with the Educational psychologist.

No one knew I was dyslexic until highschool and then I got a tutor for a year and it showed me a different way of seeing language and it changed my life. That’s all it took just someone really sitting down and explaining it in a way I could understand

As a dyslexic, I like to read in my free time. I make it a priority to read articles everyday because I love learning. I choose to be a life long learner.

I’m 13 year old and still have to use my fingers to count and I can’t spell “butifal” in text to speech: Beautiful

The brain functioning of people with dyslexia can, while presenting a challenge in the status quo society, also in turn be a source of strength in providing abilities that benefit not only the individual but also society as a whole. For instance the capacity to see larger patterns of language and logic. What we perceive as "disability" is often a misconception of different ability. But we don't live in a PC perfect world where Happy Shinning People always hold hands... pragmatism is pertinent... Know you have special powers, not necessarily special needs, and know also that not everyone else will see them... but you knowing you have them (special powers and/or special needs) will empower you to defeat all nay sayers (especially the nay sayers within)... Sincerely From, an ADHD, Dykexic, Behavior Problem, Kid

I am Dyslexic, I was placed in "special classes" since the first grade because they didn't know what to do with me.(it was very uncomfortable) but I adapted and learned to like my situation and meet others that were all so unique and amazing. I felt a lot of empathy to others because I FELT everyones struggle in my classes. I was finally Diagnosed in Highschool when I WAS 17! It took one amazing teacher that was in the LD program that saved my Learning life all makes sense again and helped me learn the way I COULD Learn. He actually found my gift of art and he was the one to inspire me to do what I do today. I design children's clothes and fabric patterns that are selling in stores now!! I also teach art and thankful every day that he was in my life to lead me in the direction I needed to go in such a standardized WORLD. I don't bring up my dyslexia much because people get frustrated with me and sometimes I feel very alone....

I've always guessed that I'm dyslexic , but I've always been a good reader...I struggle with pronunciation , spelling and grammar .In school I would write a sentence and one small word would be missing from the sentence making it not make sense . Then the missing word would be found randomly placed in the next sentence , making that sentence un readable also.....saw & was read as the same word to me , its the other words in the sentence that tell me which word it is … what sort of stuffed up I'm I ? on the positive I'm exceptionally creative and very good at problem solving .

I have dyslexia. I am almost 59 years old. Back in my day, it was not recognized and I couldn't phonetically read for crap. But, I found a way on my own. I see words as pictures. You see a car, you know it's a corvette because of the details and shape. That is how I read. I have memorized the details of what words look like. If I've not seen a word or only a few times. I can't pronounce it. I go to the internet, plug that word into a dictionary, and hit the sound button. Usually takes about 10 times and I can pronounce the word with no problem and add it to my pictionary mind.

As a dyslexic I undersrood the word before I could read it. I had my mother to thank for creating a vocabulary before I could read. My key to reading was finding things that interested me.. I started with Nancy Drew! Still love mysteries. Once I discovered mythology Greek and Roman my life changed and I became hungry for knowledge. I've been that way ever since.

I'm 31 and still struggling with it... In fact I swear it has become worse!!!

My second grade teacher released I was doing exceptionly well in math and science but tenable in reading g a writing. She talk to my mom and gave use a set if special books for dyslexic kids. The next summer I read 100 chapter books ( kids books some like 90 pages lol). I'm still bad at writing and Grammer but I can at least read and I will always be thankful.

I just found out that I am Dyslexic After going through Life filling dumb, Inadequate, Abandoned. Divorced from 10 years of marriage with two boys, I am now fighting to get on my feet, a place of my own for 50/50 Custody over my boys. It is killing me to not be able to hold my boy, to talk to my boys, and wake up in the morning from them jumping on my bed. I am writing a Manga comic about my life, wrapped in fiction to help me vent my frustration. I have graduated high school bin to college. I am a Whole life fashion designer of 20 years, graphic artist for 15 years & animator for 2 years. Is there anyone out there that can help Me organize my life?

All students are intelligent in his/her own way! We need to look deeper into what makes them tick instead of trying to put a label on them. Just like the video states, students with dyslexia can be very successful adults.

So I thought I got over "dyslexia", didn't have any problems reading (a lot of fiction novels). Then my friends started getting kids. While babysitting and reading them stories I remembered again I couldn't read. At least not out loud, or in the order that was actually printed. At the end of the sentence I would always have some words left over I had already read. It dawned on me I just see al the words and then make a (logical, but necessarily correct) sentence from these words. Not a problem if you read a fiction novel, but it does become a problem when the order of the words matter (physics, law, to some extent: reading children's book out loud). Other crazy shit: being able to make spreadsheets with many calculations, percantages, indexes, scenarios, understanding both calculations as well as meaning of numbers, intuitively finding mistakes, yet, when presenting the spreadsheet using the incorrect words (reading 1000, understanding 1000 but saying 100, and not noticing). Very annoying indeed. Seeing something blue, recognizing it as blue, yet saying: "yeah, there at the green house"

I believe that I have Dyslexia overlapped with ADHD and Dysgraphia. I have never been diagnosed and I’m 36 years old. I’m very disciplined and work very hard through these shortcomings. I live in Los Angeles and would be very interested in participating in a study to help gain more knowledge on this subject. Thank you, Chad.

I have Dyslexia and was taught "Whole Language" ( Which had already been shown to fail in California, yet they used it in my state knowing it didn't work... like telling kids cat is kat and will change it later when you learn more) When I finally got a Tutor who taught me Hooked on phonics, I began a much better reader... But I was always good to great at math Especially geometry

I've heard that learning Latin or Greek has been proven to be able to change things really quickly to improve dyslexia. Makes me mad at past me for not learning it when i first had theorized as a kid that it would help me. Especially since i was always interested in etymology too. But i will be finally pushing myself to learn both next year! This upcoming year i also have many goals that i know will help change my brain. I was diagnosed really late in life with ADHD and being on the autism spectrum, though i dont have a proper diagnosis of dyslexia i had another auditory processing issue growing up they felt they'd corrected but i've since seen a decline as i've been out of practice and reverting back to how it was as a kid and its not exclusively an issue with b/d and 9/p anymore but full on mixing of letters and words which i know is dyslexia. I just dont have the time or resources to get a diagnosis but i deeply explained things to friend also neurodivergent and they said that they just got diagnosed and that i explained it to a T. Lol so.. yeah like the other things i've been diagnosed with i already have put it together, only now i just dont care to have a doctors confirmation and just want to work diligently to improve how my brain works. I believe in our abilities to change! So i wanted to share a bit about my story and the findings i've come into. I also think learning how to read music might help and am doing that this year along with some modern languages before next years Latin and Greek endeavor. Wish me luck! And i wish you all the best too! I'll let you know how it goes (also it's funny you mention about the balance thing because my family always recalled i used to fall for no reason just randomly. far past toddler age. i never knew that was a part of all this stuff, interesting)

IMHO, DYSLEXIA IS A SUPERPOWER! Or if you prefer, your kryptonite that, like superman, you can overcome and excel above. I am in my 70s so in "unenlightened times" they just thought I was unmotivated, struggling to read. To their credit my parents had me tutored in reading and writing one summer. That helped, but I avoided reading anything I didn't have to... until complex math came along. (I could always visualize the dynamics of moving things and could fix almost anything). Advanced math tapped into my ability to think dynamically in the abstract. Very handy! The dyslexic brain works differently than the "vanilla" normal brain - DON'T let anyone make you feel inadequate because of it! Look at all the great inventors, politicians and businessmen who have it! TAP INTO THAT SUPERPOWER!

I would really love to have a friend who’s dyslexic

I’m dyslexic and have ADD. I’ve had to learn how to teach myself different methods of learning new things. I still get things done correctly but I just sometimes don’t use the same methods to do it as others. I have a routine at work that I stick to because the structure helps me with time management and staying in task. Some joke that I’m OCD but I’m not 🙄I keep my desk in specific order and keep things in their place. If my desk is messy, I can’t find what I need when I need it and it will trigger my anxiety and makes me feel like I’m failing at being a productive employee.

I also have dyslexia and ADHD but i also have something extra ordinary like I'm able define a character of a person by seen his/ her outlook or just little talks. But its very difficult to focus on particular thing.

Reading is one way that the brain has to adjust to, so that we can look how ro pronounce words and have an understanding of what is being said for the person to understand.

Thank you

Tom Cruise 🚢 is Dyslexic with an improved version he DID HIMSELF!!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I was diagnosed in 1st grade from a great teacher honestly if it wasn’t caught as soon as it was idk where I’d be I struggle with spelling sometimes and definitely miss punctuation as well I do flip numbers sometimes still and get confused by >, < I also remember not being able to distinguish left from rights other than a scar on my thumb and 6 and 9s confused me along with d and bs and couldn’t remember formulas but I excelled in word problems problem solving and mechanical skills show me the process once and I understood I’ve definitely gotten much better over the years but glad I got a good head start

This was a great break down for understanding dyslexia!

Having the experience as a Para educator made me realize and being able to work with the students to use different academics to help learn their skills

I see a word and trust it’s way ppl have told me it says. I probably see even big words as one sound. I can’t spell unless my brain memorised it. The 1st lesson doesn’t work 4 me. The onli thing that has helped me was to help me remember how to say or write words I’ve seen or heard before. Then wen I write it looks a lot different but has some right letters in hopefully in the right order. I gave up as a teen cos I was failing school as an adult I found out I had dyslexia and completely gave up on myself but I had to try to spell one word for 90 mins before my college teacher got me tested.

I'm severely dyslexic. I made a massive effort to read because I understood how important it was.. what I find strange is I can't spell ..because of spell check I have a freedom I never experienced before..I'm 63

Amazing video......Superb clarity.....

I’m so good at Scrabble, and contribute it to my dyslexia

Dyslexic has so many angles. It is hard to organize writing reading and getting 3 things group together is so hard. Just like getting lost every where I go. I can give Siri night mares. They say just use your GPS. I can not tell if I'm in the left lane quick enough so I gave to go to the side of the road re think and first attempt to get back on the road. My GPS has no Gyro to recover from my point of return. I can not leave a hotel room and retrace my steps 100% no chance of getting out of my own way. I have wasted so many hours days. Etc. Trying to find the path to return or go to my destination. I am late eery time. And everytime I believe o finally have it under control. I was very happy to know I am not stupid to get lost all the time. I now think I get ti see things most people have no clue how a detour can be beautiful. It did give me some skills to get me through things. And I do know my IQ is very good and have no idea how and I am optimistic which makes me happy I am creative and I believe this so called disability helped me become light hearted helpful and I don't mention it much or want to be different but I feel i am unquic and worth waiting for. I will arrive in in good mood with something I just made you. It's not all bad. Just call me Dixie. A bit dizzy.

me: *reading wattpad* mom: WHAT DOES THAT HELP YOU? delete that and help me with the housework me: O-oh ok..

At 5:45 what are SPECIFIC , STRUCTURED interventions utilized to help teach the relationship between sounds and letters? Please provide specific examples or where I can find these intervention strategies.

I remember having to do eye exercises

Interesting. Please explain how phonics works for: though; through; rough; bought; bough; row (argument) row (line-up); course/coarse; ... Surely, if you are teaching reading to someone with dyslexia (who already finds the process difficult) using sounds to decode words is not going to be an easy task. Also, CAT can look like ACT, TAC, ATC, TCA, ATC, and that's just without the letters turning upside down!

I've been reading stuff like I'll make my own sentences and re read it and it's not what it said but it's a mix of the words and it's confusing cause I just read a full sentence visually then the words rearrange really quick and I'm not being stupid.

I read well, but it took me years to learn how. I don't think I use a phonetic system to read, at least not in English. The relationship between letters and sounds in English isn't often obvious. Less so with some accents. My brain uses context and a word bank to create word probability. In languages with more sure phonetic systems, I can sound out words. In English, I just know what the word is.

I think got some adhd and dyslexic I struggle to pay attention sometimes I take time to read the whole sentences slower the must be a way to learn.

I am good at Reading and also read very difficult word but it hard to remember spelling and write long word like name by my own but I can read the and my spelling is wrong what to be perfect in spelling

My niece been six years old,. Hardly can read, is that dyslexia? Since childhood her daddy got her to be friendly with gadget as time killing,. Instead of sending her to playgroup. The fam earn the living by vending some meals and drinks, Thanks Masboy -Medan Indonesia

This really sucks everytime I get a job wherever requires typing or something like that I get extremely nervous cuz I always would be spelling words incorrectly

I have to say these videos are delivered in the MOST monotonal and uninspiring way.

I am 77 and no one heard of Dyslexia when I was young. I never knew anyone in all my 68 years in the U.S. with Dyslexia. I have lived in South America 10 years and have 3 friends with Dyslexia, all different. I am also Phantasic as are 2 of my friends. Sounds were never my problem. Letters changing position in words and numbers were the problem. Just before college, I was tired of looking dumb and set out to conquer it ... and I did. I still have number problems and the last two numbers in a sequence always reverse. But to me, words are a picture. I am now a fast reader. I can also read print backward and upside down. I am sorry to say that many people just decide it is too much trouble to read when Dyslexia. It is not. It just takes time to train your mind to think differently. My Parents thought I was dumb, until a teacher suggested I be tested. I have 4 degrees, have created and owned 2 companies and traveled the world on my own. If you are Dyslexic, pick one book each week and make yourself read it. You will keep getting faster and faster at reading. Your mind is memorizing words. As you memorize, you read faster and faster. It is not hard. It just takes some time. But it works.

I am a dylexic Aghh i have a idom quiz next week Even if i remember the meaning But i could not spell the words correctly Any tips for revision?

Can anyone tell me if I have dyslexia or not? I have no problem in reading or writing, I also write spellings correctly. I had learned to read and write a little before going to school, I used to read poems and stories easily But now I have a lot of problems in maths and I cant remember anything just by reading it once , I have to read again and again to remember it, and i have no intrest and talent in art im not creative and my grades are also decreasing . please tell me if I have dyslexia or I am just overthinking about It about It .

I'm dyslexic from primary school of knowing and as adult bipolar disorders came to a head. I can't find any information knowledge of what the traits of being bipolar and dyslexic ppl attribute ?? What dose this mean ? what brain function have I got, with the mixture of both integration as nobody understands me ! Can find common ground but others don't know how to integrate with me on my level . I'm not normal I know this much 🤣 is there anyone that's bipolar and dyslexic???? Anyone , no info on the internet like what ?!?!?

balance training helps with cooccurring ADHD, right?

Dyslexia is to do with an individuals whole learning process, not just reading and writing, it just happens to be that reading and writing show themselves as the most effected aspects for the majority of people. The way I see the difference between traditionally persevered academics Vs people with dyslexia: TPA are Microsoft, it’s a dogmatic perception that these people are ‘normal’. Dyslexic people are Apple, it’s not that they can’t do what TPA’s can do, it’s that they do it in a different way, which unfortunately still to this day isn’t in sync with modern education and society. Who’s to say what the normal learning process of the human mind is, and deem people intelligent or unintelligent? Throughout my entire education I was in special needs groups, because I’m dyslexic and learned things a lot slower. Since leaving education I have unintentionally taught myself a method to write a lot better, and I think I’ve done that by listening to people talk in interviews, watching films and hours of interesting public speakers and seminars of articulate people. So I write and talk in phrases like that robot in the transformers. My physical writing skills are still very slow, but I much prefer typing. Dyslexic people are just running a different operating system, our minds are not disabled; human 2.0 if you will, but it’s difficult to make an unboxing video. Our minds are like a room without an exit, or an island without a bridge to the rest of the world.

Heh...thats me heh..😥 and NO were not dumb and just because we get more time on things doesn't mean its not fair trust me its hard having it

Do you offer any courses for teachers to be certified in Dyslexia?

Both myself and son have dyslexia. You can't change it. Even with numbers. I see them backwards and words. How do you change that???!? I've struggled my whole life with it.

What are the treatment options exist for dyslexia? Currently, no medications treat dyslexia. Instead, educational interventions can teach effective new ways to learn and read.

apply the direct instruction methods and strategies correctly and you will have successful students in reading and therefore math (that require reading), science, writing and spelling.

I struggle with getting the words I need when writing or even talking. I can see all the letters in my head, but not the correct order. To close friends I will sometimes give them the letters and they help me find the word with the context. 😅 When tired I often can't write words correctly. I didn't realize this until I was in my 20's and had a job were sometimes people would be over my shoulder while I was writing. Sometimes I write the letters all out of order and its spelled incorrectly. Other times I spell the word correctly, but write the letters out of sequence. For example, the word "their". I might start with the h then the r then the e then the t and then the e and i. Does thia happen to anyone else?

I’m an adult dyslexic. If y’all need a research subject I’m open to conversation about helping y’all’s study’s

Another common trait that people with dyslexia have is higher emotional intelligence.

Interesting

Trying to make me learn phonics is why I couldn't read till I was 7. I couldn't sound out words then, and I can't sound out words now at 43. I'm really upset by this idea that all you have to do is teach the dyslexic people phonics. I can't learn phonics. I'm dyslexic. Just tell me what the word is, I'll remember it later when I see it again.

What was that area of the brain originally designed to do? I would very much like to know that. Ohhhh...Not sure I fully like this trade off. Interesting. Explicit. The roots up., Reasoning, vs blind acceptance.

i would put a b intead of p in words then notice it later it on but i’m not dyslexic

Children and adults !

Try Toe by Toe dyslexia manual book. It work miracle!

1:10 well, no wonder when you speak a language (like english) that doesn't pronnounce any word in the way it is written.

Which is why it is critical to teach dyslexics to not read by sounding out the words by letters but rather teach them to read by remembering the full word as a symbol. This is good for normal people too, but its critical for dyslexics. Unfortunately she propagates a common and severe missconception. Words are not made of combined sounds corresponding to some letters, thats just the error that linguists make.

Why are we just talking about reading! It’s the whole thought process I understand the benefit of reading skills but how about using what we have been gifted with and enhancing that skill! See I’m one of those Dyslexics who’s learned to read! But it’s not fun it’s not enjoyable it a task I need information in a format out here that allows me to process it as fast and with the mental fluency of the person that doesn’t have Dylexia!

I was in the second grade, I wrote swapping hands , the teacher got mad and took that pencil and slapped it in my right hand and told the rest of the pupils how stupid I was , how in the hell will I ever know which am I !!!!!!!!!!!!!

English language and phonics. After moving in third grade and a new school my mom gets a call. "Do you know your son can't read?". They taught me phonics and none of these rules make sense and the phonics methods they taught only confused spelling. I eventually could read after a stint in special education but I was already classified a dunce.

Based on what I understood from dyslexia, is that dyslexic brains are wired differently hence the difficulty in reading/writing but that also gives them other skills/advantages non-dyslexics do not have. So if a dyslexic child/adult undergoes training to help improve their reading/writing/ comprehension and their brains actually change to resemble the non-dyslexics will they lose their creative skills produced from being dyslexics ?

yo... I'm listining to the Wii shop song rn with this video lol. Yo it's also on a 10-hour loop, 2 hours and 14 minutes in! also yes I'm dyslexic too.

Why is it that reading skills are given so much importance? If there is problem with basic reading skills then it's a concern. Not all need 'great' reading skills. If someone has 'ok ok' reading skills it's fine. There are infinite other skills that don't require 'great' reading skills. Only that the education system is biased towards reading skills. Children should not be assessed or judged on reading skills alone. As they become adults they will do fine.

Dyslexic and ADHD are close related.Life long struggle.

I'm 12 and my hand weighting looks like a preschool, er wrote it my kindergarden sister wrights better than me ether dyslexya or my ADHD

The written word is an invention, dyslexics are explorers, we see the connections between different things, we analyse the physical world, we visualise objects and can manipulate them inside our minds eye. We should stop making it out the slow reading is a issue, now with tech the world is turning back to be the visual again.

I didn’t know one dude had dislexia and I thought he was young and then he was like 🙃

See if you have dyslexia don't be ashamed because your gods creation... If you can't read or write and do something that you can do because trust me I know it feels to get hurt by the words people call me😔😔😔😔I over come it and i dont care what they say.....so my advice to you just be your self and keep smiling

Yes, but how do you look at the brain while it's still in someone's head? I mean *really* look at it. And how do we get it out of there? Preferably the brain leaves the head of it's own volition.

I have dyslexia

Back in the '60s and '70s they taught dyslexia children with shame. Very degrading
