There are many symptoms of dyslexia, such as poor reading accuracy, skipping words, difficulty with letters and letter combinations, flipping b, d, p and q, and many more. I discuss many of the most common signs and symptoms of dyslexia in this video.
It is important to remember that not every dyslexic displays the same symptoms of dyslexia. Some dyslexics may display two or three symptoms of dyslexia, while a different dyslexic may display ten different symptoms.
Since there are so many signs and symptoms of dyslexia, we must not assume that an individual is not dyslexic, simply because they do not display one specific symptom.
Once you learn what the symptoms of dyslexia are, dyslexia becomes much easier to identify.

im 37 and my whole life No one ever believed me. my own mother told me I was lying about it. watching your videos (and others) I feel such a feeling of validation. my whole life I've been told I'm lazy or just not trying, eventually you start to believe it. but for the first time, maybe in my life I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off me. thank you
+Hillary Clinton Hates America Thanks for your comment. I'm so glad that our videos are helpful to you! For further resources, you may want to try contacting the International Dyslexia Association. eida.org/
DyslexiaConnect thank you but I'll stick to videos hehe. At my age you learn to deal. Just the validation is more then enough for me. You do good work and I appreciate that.
+Hillary Clinton Hates America Thank you! We're happy to help, and I'm so glad that you find the videos helpful.
I say the same thing to my brother
When I tried telling my dad about how I might have this he told me “no you don’t because you can read”
When I'm typing or writing I forget important words. Then I reread and realize the sentence makes no sense.
Thanks for your comment. This is sometimes a symptom of dyslexia.
@@AlexaBillard no lol, its normal to forget certain words, but if your whole sentence doesn't make sense, you might wanna dig deeper
@@jessicap6338 last year I didn’t have that problem and now I have been dealing with that problem
I sometimes write and speak some words backword .... i was worried so i started to search about it then i found Dyslexia.
My daughter has all the signs she was diagnosed with dyslexia 2 weeks ago after a very long diagnostic period. She only rarely spells entire words backwards or parts of sentences. Like she was trying to write you but she put ouy. It will take her a really long time to copy a really easy sentence and the words will be written wrong. She has a lot of accomodations now thankfully and a dyslexia teacher. She also is a great artist she has a brilliant mind and imagination.
Thanks for your comment!
I have following symptoms
1) reading accuracy
2) change or add words while reading out loud
2) ignoring punctuation
3) reading is tiring
4) have problem telling left from wright (if I do not focus)
5) leave out letters a lot while writing (most in my mother language less so in English)
6) have hard time telling the time on clock
7) mistakes d and b while handwriting
8) get lost in large paragraphs and do not remember where I was (while reading)
9) constantly have to read several times to get the text
8) randomly forget how to spell words like "beautiful"
"Because" ...
9) Make stupid mistakes in math like 5+3=7 if I do not check.
1) I'm good really good at logical problems, geometry, stereometry
2) I have really good listening skills, I think I got this from studying biology and chemistry without reading at home just from listening to the teacher
3) I'm passionate about art, thinking of going to art school
4) I didn't struggle learning English (started at age 7) but I am now struggling to learn German (started at age 15)
I'm 17, I'm in 12th grade.
I can't find any dyslexia tests in my country. I want to continue studying in USA. I took SAT and got 540 at verbal (only managed to finish 2 texts out of 5 in reading) and 700 at math (I love geometry and stereometry)
Thanks for your comment, Oto. Which country are you located in? I may be able to suggest some resources.
I have very simelar symptoms aswell, but I speak english mothertounge and german i learned when I was 5, but I still make mistakes like that in both languages and math😥
I don't know if I'm dyslexic. I'm in 8th grade and i have had straight A's all my life, I'm great at math, science, and logical thinking, but i can't spell to save my life, my grammar is non-existent, and reading has become nearly impossible, it takes my 2-3 times longer to read one page compared to my friends (thank god for audible). I have never had to jumbling of letters, but when i read a number/time such as 3:47 ill end up saying 7:43 sometimes.I love learning and gaining knowledge, but reading is form of tourture for me. Idk why this is and I'm sick and tired of giving my best and having my parents yell at me for not practicing enough. Can someone help
+Aiden Lex Hi, Aiden. Thanks for your comment. The difficulties that you describe are very common symptoms of dyslexia. Many students with dyslexia are brilliant, and are gifted in many different areas, but still have trouble with reading and spelling. This is simply due to the nature of dyslexia. If you are interested in tutoring, our online tutoring program could definitely help your make progress. You can find info on our webpage: www.dyslexiaconnect.com/ . Or, you could also check with your local IDA branch to see if there are other resources in your area. eida.org/ida-branches/ . I hope that helps!
+DyslexiaConnect So I'm currently homeschooled, would the toutering still work for this, and is their any way to get a consult to see if I'm really dyslexic
+Aiden Lex Yes, we have many homeschooled students in our online tutoring program, in fact. There are a couple of different routes you can go to check for dyslexia. An informal evaluation is usually performed by a tutor, and can let you know whether you are dyslexic. We offer these as part of our free trial. If you need an official evaluation or diagnosis of dyslexia, these are usually done by doctors or psychiatrists. You can find more info in our video here: ruclips.net/video/D9vVwaZlnAg/видео.html . If you would like to set up a free trial with us, just contact us through one of the contact forms on our website, and we can set that up.
Me too
Ok so this entire video. Every SINGLE sign was me as a kid and frankly as an adult too, how the hell did teachers not notice lol when my childhood diagnoser said I was textbook dyslexic and my recent adult assessor said “well, I’ve not looked at your scores yet but you certainly have dyslexia….” They weren’t kidding. I am a living manifestation of dyslexia.
Thanks for your comment!
Oh my word!
I have a very intelligent child. She is smart, spoke 2 languages by age 2. She plays chess, and loves maths.
She is in Gr1 this year and the first term has been a nightmare.
She's been begging to read since she was 3. But suddenly she refuses to do it.
She keeps inverting letters and numbers. Cannot remember a word from one page to the next and has the weirdest thing where she can spell a word out loud (after lots and lots of practice), but when she has to write it down, it just isn't right. The letters are there, but most often so jumbled up that it's not even a word.
She also gets majorly confused with the sounds of the A,E,I,O,U. She will confuse them in words all the time.
We got her first term rapport yesterday. She had full marks on her Maths, even with the number inversions, she still got all the sums correct.
But her reading was graded at only a 6. Which is only a little above passing. And she got a fail grade for the spelling and Grammer parts.
This is the same kid who watches RUclips video's on bridge building and other scientific things. The same kid that learns at a rapid speed.
I came here, expecting to not find an answer, just trying out different things to find out how I can help her.
And this video is almost to a T correct.
I am so excited! Sounds weird, but, now we can get her seen by someone who can 100% make sure and then we can truly help her!
Thank you for your comment! I'm so glad that you found the video helpful!
I found the information on the all the signs very interesting. Phonics is so important in reading and not learning it can be most frustrating.
I still write words backwards sometimes, without even noticing it. I'm sitting here listening to everything you're saying and I'm just like "Omg!! yes, that's so me" to nearly everything you say. Not only that but having to check what I'm writing right now three times to make sure it makes sense lol.
Thanks for your comment! I'm glad you find the video helpful.
This is me. I thought 💭 I was dumb... growing up. God bless you
I'm glad the video was helpful for you, Judy! Many individuals with dyslexia are highly intelligent. Thank you for watching. Have a wonderful day.
Has anyone else experienced an inability to enjoy new music the first time they hear it? An audio book I listened to implied dyslexics might not have an ability most people do which allows most people to enjoy music they had never heard before. I got this from a book called "This is your brain on music." In one part they explained how the brain can derive pleasure form music it has never heard before. Its has something to do with a timing center of the brain that anticipates and enjoys the completion of patterns in rhythm and melody. In another section, it mentions in passing that dyslexia is (or can be) a defect in this timing center. All my life I had this issue and never realized it. The first time I listen to a new CD, my experience is rather bland and my memory of the experience is almost always "Mehhhh..." On the second or third listen, suddenly its pleasant to me. Years back, I bought a CD by a favorite artist and listened to it. I didn't enjoy it AT ALL and even offered to give it to a friend. Then, on the day I was to give it to the friend, I played it one more time and I enjoyed EVERY song. There was not one song that I didn't really like. It was a favorite artist after all so I should have known better than to give it away so quickly. But I have had little experiences like that all my life.
Thanks for your comment, Rob. That's really interesting.
I'm glad I've found this video, I'm now certain that I really have dyslexia have to go to the doctor to make it sure. I'm now 31 I hope it's not too late
Thanks for watching, Marcus. It's definitely not too late. It's never too late to get help for dyslexia.
Thank you for your video, DIagnosed with Dyslexia at a young age. While you described the symptoms I just remembered the struggle with my teachers and laugh. Learning to read by my self has improved my writing abilities among others, however, in many cases I have the issue that I change the character's name and when another person reads the book they get really confused about which character I am speaking of. Funnily enough, I tend to read and write in English more than Spanish (native tongh) as I find it easier.
You're welcome, and thanks for your comment!
This video is spot on. This is me all day!
Thanks for watching, Larry!
I'm 37 and have a Master's degree in Social Work. I have struggled all my college years with writing tasks. In my first job out of grad school I struggled with writing tasks (takes me longer to complete). I got written up a few times and continued struggling for a few years and eventually got fired from my job. The symptoms felt like ADHD so I requested an assessment and the psychologist said I don't have ADHD but I do have difficulty with reading comprehension and this impacts my writing abilities. So here I am, learning that I have symptoms consistent with (mild) dyslexia. Feels validating and reignites my motivation to continue searching for a career/job that's a good fit for the way my brain operates.
Thanks for your comment, Miguel. I'm glad the video was motivating for you!
I do the first one but with numbers mostly. If a number is 756, i tend to write it 657. I didn't know that was a rare form. I was formally diagnosed in my last year of college and it made a huge difference. Simply giving me more time on tests in a smaller testing environment let me go from a C average student to straight A's. I also started reading out loud (by myself) and recording myself. I'd play it back for better comprehension.
Thanks for your comment!
Thanks for this useful video!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
I recognise all of those signs from my formative years. Written off by school 50 years ago as laze, "doesn't try". Although dyslexia was talked about in school, somehow they did not pick me out. Fortunately I had the beneficial side of dyslexia, that has seen me through life very well.
Thanks for your comment!
This is an amazing resource! Thank you!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Yes! I agree!
I think I have dyslexia and I add words, I flip words becuz I forget, I ignoring periods, I loose my place when reading and skip sentences, reading is kinda hard but at the same time I love it!! And many more.
Thought I do not forget words.. Im often quit smart at remembering certain things and got A's on speech class but when young I had trouble with b with d and q with p and puting 5 and 6 backwards..
Thanks for your comment!
I have the reading accuracy symptom when reading out loud. Only thing that I don’t do is ignore punctuation. But, I definitely jumble words around and it always annoyed the heck out of me. Recently rediscovered this trait while reading books to my kids. Strange how this happens. I read for fun. Read novels and such and in my head it flows as it should, yet when I read out loud, i sound somewhat illiterate at times. 🤦🏻♂️
Thanks for your comment.
I have a hard time telling right and left so if I was driving and u tell me go left I'd be so confused also telling the time I m so happy this video came out.
Thanks for your comment! We're glad that the video was helpful!
I was told when I was little I was dyslexic by by like a classroom helper, so I've always known, but I never realised how badly it affected me, like I do every thing in this video and some of them I never put down to my dyslexia 🙈
I also have this thing where the words I say are not the words I'm thinking/trying to say, like I'll be talking and people will be like "what?" And Ive just said a random word half way through the sentence without even noticing
Thanks for your comment.
Worst part of being dyslexic is people would think you're just dumb. I've been there.
Thanks for your comment. Yes, the idea that dyslexia is an indicator of low intelligence is a harmful myth. Many people with dyslexia are brilliant! Have a great day.
Even though a lot of these symptoms fit me especially when I was younger there is still a voice in the back of my head telling that it's not possible because I've always done well academically.
Hi, Leanna. Some individuals with dyslexia do very well academically. So, it is possible to have dyslexia and do well in school. Have a great day.
I am dyslexic but, I also have audio dyslexia. I never hear anyone speak about this form of dyslexia.so you might say I really think your dog is cute. My answer would be I don’t have a hog. Many times I hear a different letter then what the speaker is saying. I also say words backwards. It was suggested that I read out loud and hear if I’m reading correctly. This is now a habit and it has helped. It might be a little disturbing in a waiting room but I’m very quite it. Try it.
Thanks for your comment.
I get a lot of the reading symptoms but not a lot of the writing symptoms, but I did struggle a lot with them as a young kid
Thanks for your comment.
My daughter has dyslexia and loves reading and has always been advanced in reading...go figure. Can't read a analog clock very well or read long numbers though...
Thanks for your comment.
Seems like me. My mom doesn’t even consider me having dyslexia because of it.
Hi I have two children with dyslexia and I live in New York. I don’t know where to begin to get help I definitely want to get them help and want k to get tutoring but I don’t know where to find a a tutor that specializes in dyslexia please helps
Hi, Melissa. We offer online dyslexia tutoring. Here is our website. We offer a free trial, if you would like to try out our tutoring. Thanks. www.dyslexiaconnect.com/
I'm 10, above average in reading but when I have to think of a word or when I'm reading it's like that one meme that's like "h- have y-ou ever had a dream w- where"
Thanks for your comment!
I have never been tested in school but now as a uni student looking back at my work I can see patterns in my work. When reading out loud I always make mistakes and stumble by switching words about or missing them out. I don’t like reading because it exhausts me and my mum who is also dyslexic thought I just didn’t want to read books but I love learning and my mum reading to me as a kid.
This helped me understand that maybe I do have dyslexia. I just find it so hard to concentrate as well but not sure if that is part of it. I struggled with times tables and maths but not all maths.
Thanks for your comment! I'm glad that you found our video helpful.
I cant read until i was in the 3rd grade im now in the 6th grade i struggle with left and rigth and when i read something i tend to skip a line and i have trouble speaking and yeah my reading accuracy is fairly poor i ALWAYS SKIP , . people sometimes dont understand my reading i do like story but i dont really like reading i like to go to the libary but only short books because i get very distracted even short booka i get tierd of i should go tl the doctors.. to get diagnosed
Thanks for your comment, N.J.
hey, this probably isnt important but when I was little I used to always forget to say 4 and 6 when I used to have to count does this mean anything? also I when was little I also read word in a book correctly, and then next I cant even pronounce it but thank you for this video I'm good with spelling but my pronunciation of words is pretty tricky for me still. I also forget words in my reading/ speeches out loud in class I feel kinda embarrassed about it, I do have some of the symptoms you were talking about like the spelling reading, etc etc. I do also read sentences over and OVER until I finally find out I was just reading it over and over and over and I couldn't get to the next page also, I make up words sometimes just to replace the things I dont know and accidentally say the word before even getting to the point of reading it, but I would love for you to awnser I know this is a REALLY old video tbut thanks if u do:)
Thanks for your questions! The difficulties you mention are typical signs of dyslexia. Have you ever been evaluated for dyslexia?
Hiya ! Great info thank you! Any chance of knowing a place/support for dyslexia ? (Im in Monterrey, Mexico). Cheers!
You're welcome! Here is a link to our online dyslexia tutoring program. We work with individuals in many different countries. www.dyslexiaconnect.com/
I have a question. I'm in 6th grade and I usually get A+ on my spelling and vocab tests and I can read in my head well but I have trouble reading out loud. Do I have dyslexia?
Thanks for your question! You would need to meet with a doctor or psychologist who specializes in dyslexia to receive an actual diagnosis. However, regarding your question, there are individuals who do well on spelling and vocab tests through memory, but still have dyslexia. Individuals with dyslexia sometimes rely on memory for spelling, as a coping mechanism for having difficulty reading and sounding out words.
I made a video where I couldn't spell minuscule even though I can! What does this mean?
Hi I just watched your video I'm using speech to text yeah for the spelling I have the same I have been diagnosed with dyslexia and I was I Thinkin great to sterling is a real issue for me I can't read upside down and backwards that one I can do very good reading English yes very difficult I tried to to better myself or try to better myself I almost like reading and feeding for fun but my home language Afrikaans that I can read flawless if I'm alone sometimes I can read out loud but other times I struggle to read out loud especially English I can't spell English at all I tend to switch my peace and is minor 9th and Peace and I also recently recently discovered that I switch my trees around as well so you are and somebody that struggles with dyslexia with spelling especially its heart in society specially if somebody doesn't know you have dyslexia and don't know how to read dyslexia writing usually when I have to talk to someone by writing like now I use speak voice to speech to text through Google basically I talk to the phone and the phone writes what I'm saying or if I am on WhatsApp talking to someone on WhatsApp I usually use voice notes because for me it's much easier than to write it I don't like to write it all because I make spelling mistakes and it feels like I'm dumb or what was that other guy one person told me this Lexia is just an excuse not to learn but thank you for the video without me if you have any suggestions that might help 2 better my dyslexia or ways I can help myself that would be much appreciated as well thank you
Thank you for watching! I'm glad that the video was helpful. For additional information about dyslexia, you may find it useful to connect with the International Dyslexia Association. Here is the link. Have a great day! dyslexiaida.org/
Don't think I have dyslexia but every exam test I do I have to reread everything multiple times for the words to sink in, I feel it's just because of the time pressure but I often skip words or will just read it and not know what I just read. So I've come here😅
Thanks for your comment.
Idk if I have it but im very slow at reading, I sometimes read words that come second 1st, my spelling is quite bad and I miss letters when I do long pieces of writing. I also miss or add words into a sentence that I'm reading and I stutter when talking. Are any of those signs I should seek help?
Thanks for your question. The reading and spelling issues that you mention are typical symptoms of dyslexia. You may find the information on this site helpful. www.understood.org/en/learning-thinking-differences/child-learning-disabilities/dyslexia/what-is-dyslexia
Thank you so much
I have all of them but the first one to an extent.
You're welcome, Denzil! Thanks for sharing.
This is my daughter to a T. Almost every symptom. I am having her evaluated at her school so we can get her more help in reading.
Thanks for checking out our videos, Della!
Just a follow up. My daughter actually does have dyslexia and is now receiving help at school. Thank you so much for your videos!
Hi Peter. I have a couple of questions. Next week we have an appointment for my partner who has never been diagnosed but I strongly suspect has dyslexia, which is why I pushed him to see a professional. These are some of the syptoms I've noticed: confusing times, if I tell him to ready at 5:20 he will confuse this with 20 minutes to 5:00 (4:40). He mixes syllables in words, the word "panoramic" he would say paronamic. He doesn't do it all the time but enough for me to notice, usually does it with 3 sylable words. Another one is, reading comprehension. Apart from the fact that he has to read something 3 or 4 times to start to understand, if you ask him what was the article about he may give you the main topic but would not be able to answer more in depth questions on it or finds it very hard to organize his thoughts to explain the concept. He also has trouble with connecting cause and effect. In math he isnt terrible but has trouble with reasoning exercises which I suspect stems from the reading comprehension problem. What are your thoughts?
Hi, Grisel. Thanks for your question. These issues could definitely be related to dyslexia. Hopefully, the appointment provided some further clarity on this.
im a freshman in highschool this year and i kinda think i have dyslexia i kinda talked about it with my parents but not a lot i relate to syptoms of dyslexia and is there a way that i do have dyslexia? is there a way i can see if i do have it during this time since i cant go outside
Thanks for your question. The International Dyslexia Association maintains a list of providers who can conduct dyslexia evaluations. Some may provide evaluations online. Here is the website. dyslexiaida.org/
Omgosh!!! Forgetting a word from one page to the next....ooook now that can be my daughter actually and myself...takes me a few seconds and I all of a sudden getting it...also my girl pronounces words funny as!! Adolescents is a goodie.....😂
Thanks for your comment!
This is interesting because things didn’t become apparent to me until adulthood.
😌I will write a sentence and skip words because I thought I wrote it in my head , yet it wasn’t written on paper. Missing words , reading out loud shipping words , making up words , also when reading out loud I prefer to have a pen to guide my place 😂because I lose my place.
Thanks for your comment!
Hi, thank you very much for your video.
I have a question regarding the part where you mention about a dyslexic's phonic ability. You say they have a hard time putting a sound to a letter. Is it the sound they have trouble with ? Or just assigning it to a letter ? In my experience of the dyslexics I've met, he can speak well (can produce the sounds of my language, his words sound as they should), so I'm not sure if he's an exception in that, or if that's not what you meant.
Thank you.
You're welcome! Thanks for your question. Typically, this difficulty is in the area of reading or spelling for a student who has dyslexia. For example, they may attempt to read the word "boat", but not know what sound "oa" makes.
I have a really time reading phone numbers in my head and out loud, I always seems to mix up the numbers even when I told myself a thousand times what the phone number was I will write it wrong.
When I read I will forget what I just read and the page starts to look like it’s blending together.
I also have a very hard time with my rights and lefts. I have to think very hard about it and sometimes use my hands to remember.
In speech I forget words a lot.
I love to write but most of the time my sentences end up jumbled and I have to rewrite the sentences all the time.
Hey girl give me your insta?
Thanks for your comment!
It would be nice if you would use person first language consistently in your videos, otherwise it was really well done and informative. Thanks!
Thanks for watching, Morgan.
I'm 15 not diagnosis with dyslexia. Some reason when writing I forget how to write some simple spellings like"rip" or "it". Thinking about how to spell words then still mispelling When reading silently keep on missing letters or words. Some reason flipping letters was reading or writing. Mispell/flip letters of words even though I was coping it down. Sometimes mix right and left. Sucks at instructions...
Thanks for your comment.
I read things backwards but I won't say them that way, I just drag my eyes across the page the wrong way and then catch myself since my brain has to work twice as hard to figure out wtf the sentence says
Thanks for your comment.
Hello Peter, i am riz and my age is 25, i just saw your entire video it's very helpful for me, and i think that i have dyslexia, i face lot of problem to write the correct spelling of words and i am confused and difficulty to remember the spelling. Can you please help me to solve my problem.thanks
Hi, Riz. Thanks for your question. Regarding help for those issues, I would recommend tutoring from a teacher who is trained in the Orton-Gillingham Method, or one of the closely related methods. We use Orton-Gillingham in our online tutoring program. If you are interested in online tutoring, you can find more info about us here. www.dyslexiaconnect.com/ . You can also try contacting the IDA for further resources. dyslexiaida.org/
i sometimes, skip letters or write the same word twice after each other or even sometimes, i get stuck while trying to say something for of few minutes is it part of dyslexia as well ?
Thanks for your question. Yes, those are possible symptoms of dyslexia.
Hi I know I’m so late. but is it commen to know how to read but it is just very difficult and can’t find any modivation to do it like when your in the middle of school and doing a test I can’t like get myself to read it and I also read a paragraph but not know what it was even about like you read the words but it doesn’t comprehend in your mind. So I have to read it like two more times to make it understand Also when I’m writing to fast I mix up letters like: M=W=N and P=F but I know the difference I just do it without thinking. I know you mentioned this in the video but I got really embarrassed in class when my teacher told me to read and I kept studdering and saying the wrong words and in the paragraph it said “ men and women ” but instead I said women and men so backwards . I’m also really bad at getting a point across without stumbling on my words when I’m haveing a conversation and really bad at pronounceimg my r’s . When I’m doing math my sister helps me with my equations and we flipped to the next page to do more and I totally forgot how to do it even tho they were very similar questions. Do you think I have deslexia? I’m 14. But my parents just think it’s an attention problem if you think I do how should I approach them about it?
Thanks for your question! The difficulties that you are mention are common symptoms of dyslexia. Have you spoken to a teacher or school psychologist about these difficulties?
Does the difficulty with phonics and reading apply to when reading in another language that isn’t your first language
Thanks for your question, Sara. Yes, if a person has dyslexia, that dyslexia is usually apparent in any language.
I had a hard time learning to read and do math, I read very very slow, can't say the months of the years backwards, can't remember times table odd numbers, I go to write the first letter of a word and instead my hand writes the second letter I then have to go back and add the first letter. I kill the pronunciations of a lot of words my dad would tell me growing up I was the biggest killer of the English language , don't remember names but don't forget a face, can't remember one word of a song, can't spell to save my life, I hate following written directions, I get motion sickness easy, don't tell me any numbers verbally to remember like a phone number unless you go super slow. And something really strange if I have to write the word me in a sentence I always leave it out and have to go back and add it every time. My mother did not want ME to go to college she thought I would not be able to do it, I went to college got a 3.4 grade point average and ran three business. One thing I realized is when I'm more stressed it gets worse to the point now in my older age my hand won't write the numbers I want it to it will write a different number I'm not even thinking of, don't know if that is dyslexia.
Thanks for your comment.
I'm not sure if you'll actually reply to this comment, but what's the difference between dyslexia, a visual processing disorder, and an auditory processing disorder? They all seem to show very similar symptoms.
That is an excellent question. This article specifically addresses that issue. www.understood.org/en/learning-attention-issues/child-learning-disabilities/dyslexia/the-difference-between-dyslexia-and-auditory-processing-disorder
You missed the visual processing disorder haha. This is getting confusing; from the reading I've done, it seems as if an auditory processing disorder is dyslexia minus the reading comprehension problems, and a visual processing disorder is dyslexia minus the phonemic awareness problems. But throw another type of dyslexia into the mix -- stealth dyslexia -- where people are able to read with good comprehension, albeit inaccurately... sounds like auditory processing disorder to me -- and things get excessively confusing. I vote you make a video explaining the difference between these issues. (I wish I could do linebreaks, but RUclips won't let me!)
That article is actually from Understood, a great organization with a variety of articles on dyslexia and other learning issues. They have articles on visual processing issues, as well. I have included the link below. Yes, there are a lot of similiarities in the symtpoms of these issues, which makes defining the differences between them a bit complex. www.understood.org/en/learning-attention-issues/child-learning-disabilities/visual-processing-issues/visual-processing-issues-what-youre-seeing
You didn't entirely answer my question. I've read the two Understood articles. And I understand them (clever pun, eh?). What I'm getting is that dyslexia is a combination of a visual and an auditory processing disorder.
It's possible that some experts classify it as that, but typically, I have heard those specific terms used to specify issues that share similarities to dyslexia, but are not dyslexia itself.
I could never resolve math problems the ones that you read
I always been clumsy
I had gave up work promotions
I know second language but struggle a lot to put it in a sentence or get frustrated because I can't pronounce them I feel like I have a block in my brain
My hand writing varies so much that I can't even tell if it is my hand writing
Am I dislexic?
Hi, Tifa. Thanks for your question. The difficulties you mention are typical symptoms of dyslexia. An actual diagnosis of dyslexia needs to be given by a doctor or psychologist who specializes in learning issues. If you are interested in learning more about that, the International Dyslexia Association is a good resource. Here is their page. Thanks. dyslexiaida.org/
I'm making this comment before I watch the video but I think I might have dyslexia or something because I see color around the text whenever I read, I have trouble focusing on the text, I see between the spaces where they follow down, and sometimes the words repeat or a letter. (Also have trouble remembering what I read) (also sorry I had to make this comment)
Thanks for your comment, Aspen.
i am dyslexic and i am 19 years old and i want to know how to overcome it. .i feel difficulty in reading and spelling words. .plz can anyone help me
Hi, and thanks for your question. Could you tell me which country you are located in? I may be able to suggest some resources. Thanks.
Hey so recently I've been asked by my help teacher in english if I had dyslexia and I said I dont think so but my spelling is pretty bad and sometimes I'll mix letters up like when spelling could I'll spell cloud and when using which I never know witch one to use plus I have awful handwriting like its unreadable to some I'm 14 btw and I need a help teacher in English to sit next to me and help me but I've always been above my reading age and great at reading my memory is terrible aswell like I'll need things explaining again after the teacher just said it I know it's long but I'm just wondering
Thanks for your question! Have you been evaluated for dyslexia at school? Or anywhere else?
Thx for replying
no I haven't been evaluated anywhere
@@lolly2073 Thanks for the additional info. An evaluation for dyslexia would be a helpful next step. Some schools can provide this. Otherwise, a doctor or psychologist who specializes in learning issues can also provide this. Have a great day!
Hello. Sinse I started school I have had such a hard time trying to read and spell. I have improved a bit sinse year 7 ( I was reading at a grade3/4 level). I am in year 9 now and I am woried if it is dyslexia it will be to late to get tested. I have asked my teacher and she thinks that it could be dyslexia. What do I do???
Hi, Erin. Thanks for your question. Could you tell me which country you live in? Once I know that, I should be able to suggest some resources. Thanks!
Ok I live in Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks, Erin. I would try calling the Australian Dyslexia Association. They should be able to provide some advice. dyslexiaassociation.org.au/
I was diagnosed with dysgraphia when I young. I remember writing words backwards and having to use a computerized type writer in my classes, however I don't write anything backwards anymore. I mispell words somewhat regularly but that's about it. Is it possible for dyslexia to diminish or specific symptoms to diminish overtime?
Thanks for your question, Erik. Dyslexia never goes away, however, many individuals with dyslexia develop strategies to deal with their dyslexia. This may be through dyslexia tutoring, which gives individuals a concrete path toward improving their reading and spelling. Or, an individual may develop strategies on their own.
thank you
No problem at all!
So, I've noticed this past year since I've been working a cash register that I often tell the customer the price with the numbers out of order (Like if the total is $56.13, I may say $65.13 or $51.63 before correcting myself. This happens maybe a third of the time.) I Have never had problems reading letters or numbers in my head (I can only think of a few instances I've read novel words or names wrong), and i can read words out loud just fine. This feels too minor to be dyslexia, and it hasn't caused me problems, could it be something else?
Thanks for your question. Do you have any difficulty with math?
@@DyslexiaConnect I do, but it's more because i have a hard time understanding the concept rather than problems with the numbers themselves.
Thanks for the additional information. To determine whether this is related to dyslexia, or another issue, you would probably need to be evaluated by a doctor or psychologist who specializes in educational issues.
I have dyslexia and is it just me or reading with white text and black background helps so much like black text and white background the text shifts from black to purple and it really hurts my eyes
Thanks for your question. Regarding the text shifting color, that could be something related to vision, rather than dyslexia. Does it happen all the time?
When re reading work do Dyslexics find their mistakes?
+Morgan BeVard Thanks for your question, Morgan. Often, if a dyslexic individual made a mistake while reading something the first time, they will also make the mistake reading material the second time. This is one of the reasons why we have our students read out loud to us at all times, because we can get them in the habit of seeing mistakes and correcting them as the read. Eventually, they start to catch more of their own mistakes.
I always had trouble reading and spelling. I also do poorly on my vocab test. I always get 100 on quizlet, but on the test I always get D because I have to choose the vocabulary word that fits into the sentence. My Grammer is very bad, and my vocabulary level is low for a 16 year old. When reading for social studies most of the time I don't get it so I would read it over and over and get little comprehension (there is some vocab that is used in the textbook that I don't know what it mean which makes it harder to read). During class I'm very quite because I try to pay attention to the lecture, but I don't pick up a lot from them. I hate when teacher pick on me to answer a question because I feel like I will say sometime stupid. I hate reading out loud because I stutter a lot and sometime have trouble pronouncing words. I actually failed my midterm and finals for language arts and social studies. I'm afraid to get it checked out because I'm afraid that I'm just stupid and not dyslexic
Hi, Yugou. Thanks for your comment. It sounds very possible that you do have dyslexia. There are many brilliant individuals with dyslexia, and it is not an indicator of low intelligence. I would suggest calling the International Dyslexia Association. They may be able to suggest some resources or accommodations that would help in school. dyslexiaida.org/
+DyslexiaConnect hi im zoey im a freshman and today i had to meet a teacher at a library and he helped me with social studies and i wouldnt understand what i was reading he asked me to find the def for bind and cast and i had to keep going back on my ipad like i wouldnt remember what i said 3 secs ago what i read , i hate reading books cause the first sentence or 2 pages of the book i dont understand it, the teacher asked me if i have trouble reading and i hesitated and said nooo.... i cant comprehend what im reading , and i do have adhd but i take meds and i had them in me so its not like im off focus i cant remember it and having a really had time with world history even tho i have a A and alittle bit of reading , but is it possible maybe im dyslexia and should ask my parents or that ad teacher that i was with or ask my parents about it just like the whole adhd thing
Hi, Zoey. Thanks for your comment. It does sound possible that you have dyslexia. Do you know if there are any teachers at your school who have experience working with students who have dyslexia? You may be able to speak with a school counselor about these issues. The IDA is also a good resource. dyslexiaida.org/ . If you are interested in online tutoring, you can find more info about us on our website. www.dyslexiaconnect.com/
+DyslexiaConnect my parents think i have to up my adhd meds so i can concentrate more but i its so hard to tell them like how im reading , like i write really good and i spell really good just this i cant do. and i failed my world history test and the ad said we can work on that and i can take a retake , but it took the whole 50 mins of the period for me to answer 40 history questions while people are packing up im still on question 34. and its really really hard to explain how the reading is in my mind like when i read a paragraph or a story i feel like the words and sentences are floating past my head (like in movies if you know what im talking about ) and i cant remember what i wrote or said so idk they still think i have to up the dose on the adhd meds so idk its hard to tell the difference between adhd and dyslexia, and i know that my younger brother has adhd which i just got , and i know my dad may have dyslexia so idk
Hi, Zoey. Some individuals with dyslexia are able to spell and write fairly well, but still have trouble with reading. Dyslexia comes in many different forms and degrees. I would suggest speaking to a school counselor about this, and you or your parents can also try calling your local branch of the International Dyslexia Association. They may be able to provide some suggestions. dyslexiaida.org/ida-branches/
I also love to read
That's great! Me too!
I go to spell a word and the format just falls apart and I feel blocked. left and right I'm hopeless with also.
Thanks for your comment, Ali.
I flip the word order alot like when I'm telling jokes does that mean in
dyslexic
Thanks for your question. That could be related to dyslexia, but you would need to have a formal evaluation for dyslexia to determine that.
I am serverly dislexic and I struggle with reading, writing backwards and speling im 15 and my school don't help can you plese help

My teacher made us all watch a movie that represented dyslexia in the sawping letters around kindof way and she then asked in front of everyone if I felt with that it came of very insulting and embarrassing I also didn’t think I had it cause the movies representation was so drastic that I was like no I don’t have it and falling behind two years and dealing with depression was the result thanks teacher.
Thanks for your comment. I'm sorry to hear about that difficult situation.
I don't mind read but I hate it it's like trying to read a blank page I'm like omg or I'll use my finger an I still losse the line I was on I struggle talking my mum say I talk to fast but I don't think I do I forgot thing I can't sleep at night till like 4-5am an when I read I like mouth it out but it's like I can't say the word idk what it is

I have a twenty yr dyslexic son he can't read or count.what can i do to help him?thx
Thanks for your question. I would recommend dyslexia tutoring with a tutor who is trained in Orton-Gillingham, or one of the methods in the Orton-Gillingham family. These methods are highly effective in helping individuals with dyslexia improve their reading and spelling.

I use to reverse my 2 and 5 when I was little and write them weirdly is that a simptom of dyslexia?
Thanks for your question, Alayna. Yes, that could be caused by dyslexia. It would be necessary for you to have a formal evaluation for dyslexia to determine whether dyslexia is the cause of that. Have a great day.

It's not worth it

Thanks for your comment.
Hi! I have troubles with reading a lot. I keep reading words the wrong way or skipping them. Reading is my worst nightmare because I have troubles focusing on what I just read. I also have troubles copying something from the blackboard esspecially numbers. I confuse left and right all the time as well. But I am quite good at learning foreign languages so that's why people often tell me that I can't have dyslexia. So what do you think? Do I may be dyslexic? Thanks!
You can't have dyslexia if you're good in english. That's impossible!
Why not? You probably do have dyslexia, you should better go see a doctor or something
Wait how old are you?
I'm 16 years old. And I'm from Slovenia. I don't have any troubles with english and german(maybe sometimes I spell the word in different order) but I do have troubles with my mother tongue...
You may have dyslexia but you said you have troubles with spelling english words right? So what spelling mistakes do you make?
Hello, I'm not sure if I'm dyslexic but I am terrible at spelling like a lot worse than all the people in my class, I read extremely slowly it would take me about 10 minutes just to read an average page, the words on pages sometimes move whilst I read. Also I have the forgetting the words thing and I sometimes just forget how to spell words that a 4 year old could spell. Could it be that I'm dyslexic please answer.
+Rebecca Online Hi, Rebecca. Thanks for your question. Yes, it is very possible that you are dyslexic. The symptoms that you describe are all common symptoms of dyslexia. Do you know if there are any resources for dyslexia in your school? A teacher who is trained in doing evaluations, for example?
+DyslexiaConnect yeah there is should I go talk to them about it
That would be a good idea, because they may be able to offer you resources. If they are not able to, let me know, and I will try to come up with another idea.

I am an elementary school teacher. I have seen and help diagnose severe cases of dyslexia. I found this video hoping to find out more about more common less severe cases. However, I have to say all of the signs you’ve listed here are common for about half my readers. I thought dyslexia was rare, but if I use this list then 50% of the students in my classroom are dyslexic. Am I missing something? Is there more information I need? I don’t feel comfortable telling the school psychologist that half my class needs to be tested for dyslexia. Nor would they ever do that. Some advice or clarification please. 🙏🏼
Hi, Tonya. Thanks for your question. Current research suggests that about 10-15% of the population has dyslexia. Regarding your students, are you in a standard classroom? Or a special education classroom?

like forgetting words from one page to another, missing lines, missing punctuation and etc
