Tht's called dyscalculia

Hello Theresa u never give up and that's good. Keep up the hard work.

You have a brain defect that makes you see letters and numbers transposed. There is a disconnect between your eyes and your brain. We all have some brain defects. How the brain develops is a mystery. Our brains are very complex, and everyone has little defects. No one is "perfect".

I was about to say 'sounds like the uploader has personal experience with dyslexia in some form...'

Well, this is a film about dyslexia.

Of course! Maybe it was the son who spelled it because he was making a documentary with his father about dyslexia. Did nobody notice that son was spelled sun?

They misspelled father in the title and are seriously questioning whether dyslexia is a gift, (spoiler alert, it’s not) so probably shouldn’t expect too much from this documentary

Do all my comments get deleted?

My mechanical reasoning and spacial awareness where 100 out of 100 in half the time it took others in my class to do it. My spelling was very bad. If you allowed a test of dyslexia early in life and hyper focused the people with that brain to do it I think we would have a thing going. We have spell check, It really does not matter the language you use now. I didn't spell check a word, because I am dyslexic or more so because I am.

Yes, it's been a real challenge too.

My two issues with dyslexia was writing things backwards and spelling. The first thing I learned to spell was my name. Every time I would write it down my dad would tell me it was wrong. He never did tell me why it was wrong. I was writing it backwards. I'm not a great speller but getting the dictionary and pulling five words at a time really help me. I would make sure I mastered five words and then I move onto the next five. That taught me how to apply route words in my everyday vocabulary. I love reading, I read EVERYTHING. I also love learning. I don't know why they call it a disability (not to be conceited but), I'm smarter than the average bear. I'm left handed as well but I am ambidextrous. I learned to throw and bat with my right. Well anything that has to do with sports I'm right handed. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I can definitely tell that compared to other people my brain has more cylinders shooting off. I am really good at problem-solving. I'm good at a lot. I think dyslexia just help me figure out ways to be stronger when I was told that was weaker. 💪🏼 💯

The was definitely what surprised me the most about the whole documentary! A very sad thing...

I can honestly say it is a gift. The good far out ways from the bad. I could say people who don't have it are disabled because of the way they think. I may not be able to spell or read very well but I can problem solve and think out side the box far more advanced then people who don't have it. It is a trade-off. It was hard at school but in life it is easy. I work in construction as a project manager. I know how to build anything I tell the engineers the quickest way to do it and all the pros and cons. I can read architectural drawings way better than the engineers can I left school at 14 and I have 2 engineers and 60 men under my control. I am hopeless with emails but I have engineers for that. I wouldn't change the way I think. The only problem was school was really hard. But your not in school for very long. People who don't have it think we are not smart. But if I wasn't smart, I wouldn't be in charge of a 100 million dollar project. Steven Spielberg has it. Do you think he is disabled. The problem is is that you don't understand it because maybe your not that smart.🤔
