earthworm sally It’s really annoying, I know. I have been told that I must have a misdiagnosis of dyslexia as I am “too intelligent” to be dyslexic as I have a degree and can express myself well. This was told to me by someone who I only knew for about an hour 😆🤦🏻♀️
@@alaurahwillow155 I am a freshman in college and I got a full scholarship so people automatically assume that I am too smart to have dyslexia. Dyslexia isn't about being smart.
It's so hard, I decided to learn korean/japanese a few years ago thinking it would be easier because it's symbols instead of actual letters but it still isn't easy, I took spanish for 2 1/2 years and no matter how hard I studied I still failed the multiple choice final and got a C on speaking and writing bc I did all the write stuff but spelled most wrong :( it's hard
Not for me my native language is Arabic and I could not read or write in Arabic but one day my mom bought an iPad for me it was all in English I knew some words but I also watched alot of English youtubers and I kinda learned english just by watching RUclips videos
I have a dyslexic classmate that had spent a year in England to learn English, but even when she came back my English was still better than her and I couldn't understand how.
I have dyslexia and ADHD, so on exams, I'll be trying to read a question (for the 15000th time) and then i'll be like "ooh that piece of dust is interesting..." and have to start over again.
I have a REALLY hard time with reading right now I have a colour overlay on my phone but it’s weird because it changes the colour of everything on my screen 🙄
nah we just wear jewelry with the alphabet in it so me can recite it in the correct order, we write left and right on are hands so we know which way it is and we carry a big bad with all of are audiobook cds
my husband told me many times and i quote "you're too smart to be dyslexic. i really don't think that you are. and you should stop thinking that you are because you are not." continues to point out how i am too smart to be one and therefore i am not one. i mean, do you even know what it is? mind you, he'd never listen to my explanation anyways so....
@@onecatshortofcrazy146 Wait, you don't have the 3rd eye? Just kidding. How are one of us supposed to look? Well, I'm going to tell you an actual benefit for me. I can read upside down. This really freaks out the "normals". It's like they think I'm some kind of mutant. I LOL. I guess the years of therapy paid off.
I am a child of the 90;s and I actually learned to type on an electric typewriter, while I can now touch type well I failed the class because my spelling errors were mistaken as typos.
Em Idc If you know anybody with ADHD please tell them to watch a video called superbrain yoga and it is the one that is about 4 minutes 18 seconds long and it is a segment from a newscast. They're using it to heal people of everything from ADHD to dyslexia and other neurological problems and best results are gotten by doing superbrain yoga several times a day
@@jilomell3830 I really wish you would try that superbrain yoga and tell me if you get the results that a lot of people claim to have gotten with it... also there is a tea called butterfly blue pea tea.. and you take the flowers and steep about five or six of them for about 20 minutes to a half-hour and it is supposed to be very good for the neurology and everything that has to do with the brain and it's supposed to be very good for you for neurological things. Another one that's supposed to be very good for the brain but tastes horrible and so you might be better off taking it in capsules is called haritaki... you can even go to the haritaki channel... he even sells it in the capsules... if you do it in the regular powdered form is really gross because it has a horrible taste and also the texture is like powdered sawdust.. supposedly it increases the oxygen by something like 300% to the brain and it just makes you a lot smarter and helps with many things and so you might want to look into it
@@gardensofthegods , please leave neurodiverse people alone and don't try to push some ridiculous bs "healing" agenda and bs products! And STOP spreading pseudoscience bullshit!!! That is NOT helpful to anyone, since it's pseudoscience woo and it's absolutely ridiculous made up lies! - Brain yoga that "heals ADHD & dyslexia"?? blue flower tea that's "good for neurology"?? Powder that "increases brain oxygen by 300%”??? - WTF?! How could you actually believe and spread this shit?? Unfortunately some naive people may fall for it and be swindled by people who sell bs pseudoscience products like this! So PLEASE STOP!!!
“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid” In school people get's judged by their ability to spell and read. If you aren't able to do it, you will be labeled as stupid, lazy, worthless and the list goes on. Even if you know that it's not true, it will immensely damage a persons selfesteem and scar them for life, and if a person doesn't treat these psychological scar. It will affect them for the rest of their life, which is unfortunate but sadly true. Sorry if there is spelling mistakes or grammatical errors, i am dyslexic.
I felt so worthless through school that I didn't want to believe I was dyslexic, I wanted to be the best reader I just decided "hey I'm one of those people that isn't good at anything first try" Then I found drama and clay and I was like "oh my brain is broken but I guess my hands know what they're doing" I'm still not at peace with it though
This was a real conversation I had with someone Person:you lied Me:about Person:being dyslexic Me:huh...wait what Person:your reading a book I died a bit that day
Literally, my answer whenever someone asks me to spell a word. "Can you spell 'princess'?" "P R I N------------cess" (totally didn't look up how to spelll 'princess')
I'm Dyslexic and I always felt so stupid in school. I got As and Bs but still struggled to read and write. I couldn't even comprehend the word 'Catch'. But after practicing I'm lot better now. I had to work hard but I'm getting better at it. Starting to.
Description Untitled me too. I was in "special" classes for English, but was in Advance Science classes in middle & high school. I read daily and that helps today, but I was a slow reader and horrible speller. Writing was always a trip to me. b, d, p's always came out wrong on paper
geekphreak, I'm glad someone can relate. I probably would have excelled all throughout my schooling but writing and reading held me back. Kinda ironic how I felt stupid while getting good grades, but those were just for others class, not Language Arts. (English). I'm still practicing though. I wanna get better.
Well, I think you can get glasses to kind of, help? My friend is dyslexic, and at school he used green pages in his work books. When we had to read from a textbook, he had a piece of green transparent plastic to move over the words, or green tinted glasses. Not trying to be rude, just trying to help. Correct me if I’m wrong xx

I hope this isn't rude but, it's so interesting, how you messed up that last sentence, I've never even met a dyslexic person, (not that I know of at least)
I have a teacher who's dyslexic and once talked about needing spell-check. The cool thing is that people told her she wouldn't make it past high-school, now she's the coolest teacher.
I'm a primary teacher and I have to say that dyslexic pupils have my greatest respect. I've yet to meet a child with dyslexia who doesn't put 110% into their education, and knowing how much more difficult the whole curriculum is (due to it being very word and sight heavy) I am always amazed at their effort and results despite their condition. Last year I had a heart to heart with a young girl in my class who had been successfully concealing her dyslexia, previous teachers had just presumed she wasn't as smart as others and put her in the lowest groups. However, she is so witty and creative, finally it just clicked for me one day and she is now on a specialised programme. She was so embarrassed that she had been 'found out', but her parents and I explained why she had no reason to be ashamed - in fact, she should be proud of how much she has achieved despite her disadvantage. She hailed Steven Spielberg - arguably the best known director alive today and the man behind her favourite movie, E.T. - as her new hero as he is one of the many people out there today proving dyslexia doesn't stop people from doing great things. Someone in this video mentioned ignorance - absolutely, the people who say those things written on those slips are merely showing their lack of knowledge.
There are people out there without the ability to empathise with anyone different to them - the fact that some of those people get themselves into responsible positions, like doctors and teachers, is frightening. Your teacher sounds like a moron, I hope you had others at school who actually understood what dyslexia was and gave you a more enjoyable education! As for folk who say they wouldn't date a dyslexic person, I'd respond that you don't want to date someone who, by thinking that, is so clearly narrow-minded, idiotic and not worth the time! :) You're better than those people, mate!
STOP IT!!! DON'T YOU DARE TELL HER TO DIE!!!!!! Yeah what she said was not needed but you shouldn't tell her to die. Joking or not don't you ever tell somebody to die. Because I was told all the time to just go and die and I almost killed myself. So don't joke about it
Please see the video called superbrain yoga the one that is a clip from a newscast and is about four minutes 18 seconds long. It is helping people with dyslexia and other neurological problems
It’s hella hard to fake it??? Like you have to understand test you kinda have to go fast so why waste time writing words wrong You also need a note to get on a plan sooo like what
I'm dyslexic. I couldn't read until i was 12. It was super embarrassing sometimes when i was with my friends trying to play a game with reading involved. when i was 11 i couldn't even read the word birdcage. I'm 14 now and can read chapter books and write, just very slow.
물생 Thank you. It does feel like it though, when you can’t do it and everyone expects you to be able to. Especially when you get bullied because of it, struggle to pass a qualification or get laughed at in the bank by a group of people because someone asks you to sign something and you tell them that you can’t read.
Being dyslexic the best thing ever is the mini microphone on the keyboard that you can just click and talk into and it will type out all your words, ever since I discovered it all my friends have been like wow Ava you're so good at spelling and wow Ava you're so fast at typing
Doesn’t work properly if you don’t speak English natively. For example Finnish version works quite well, but you have to articulate very slowly and carefully. Otherwise it’ll say something completely different if anything. I’d rather type out than take the risk of ”autocorrect” kind of situation.
It takes time and practice to master writing skills as a dyslexic. I'm dyslexic and I am an excellent writer in my native language, but when I have to switch to another language (I am a trilingual) it's super frustrating because I have to remember spelling, grammar, pronunciation and frequently I have to stop and check if I haven't messed up anything. It used to be much worse two years ago. I'm getting better every day at it but I have to work extra hard on it.
No no no no no no no no no no Nana Nana Nana Nana Nana Nana Anna Nana Nana Nana Nana Nana Nana Nana Nana i'm the lyrical gangster murderer excuse me Mr. officer murder still love you like that murderer. Well that works surprisingly good, but on my phone it apparently doesn't add any punctuation.
My personal favourites I’ve heard are “can you grow out of your dyslexia” and *talking slower and louder* “oh sorry, I didn’t realise you were dyslexic, do you understand what this means?”
I’m dyslexic, I’m Mexican so I learnt two languages and I have two degrees 🙂 fortunately both my parents are educational psychologist so they taught me how to read and write with the Orton Gillingham method as well as several gestalt exercises so my dyslexia is a part of me but thnx to my parents it’s not really that prominent in my life. You can’t cure dyslexia but you can learn how to get better and beat it 😇
I asked my parents for help in seventh grade because I was having trouble reading. They took me to the eye doctor and because he said my vision was 20/20. They dismissed me and said I just wanted glasses because my friends had glasses. So at the age of fifty I was finally diagnosed with dyslexia.
@@gwens5093 I was at 50 too! And even then it was by accident. I quipped to my shrink that I finally learned to spell my brother's name. She was intrigued and asked what kind of long strange foreign name he had. It's Brian.
*When the teacher gives you white paper instead of colourd* Me: umm I need the orange paper Miss: Don’t worry itl be fine *2 mins later* Miss: Jack I’m going to have to ask you to redo your work, it is too unneat Me: What the F...
When they give me booklets on white paper, I’m like, ‘excuse me I need it on blue’ ‘nah you’ll be fine’, 20mins later ‘now you’ve all finished’ me: ‘wait what?’
I haven't tried writing with it but reading with the different colored papers helps with not losing the line and stuff the words seem to move around less if you know what I mean
Everstruggling yeah, I use green tinted paper and it really helps. Just calms down the words and stops them from shaking.. nothing much. But the mark difference on exams before and after green is MASSIVEEEE
My problem solving stills are wonderful thanks to my dyslexia. I had to get creative and find new ways to learn is school. Wonderful video love hearing from others with dyslexia
I have numerical dyslexia (dyscalculia) and its so frustrating because a lot of people don't realize the "other" symptoms: not getting things like distance, analog clocks, counting graph paper lines, messing up time. It's passed off as "dyslexia doesn't have extra symptoms", but 1. they do, and 2. even if they didn't that has no bearing on me. Thank you so much for sharing this!
Catherine Trewhella Yess oh my gosh, it’s like that with my dyslexia too!! people are like “but you can spell fine” and I’m like yeah but it effects memory and reading and writing speed, etc
i'm dyslexic and its always been numbers the main issue, I can read and write fine, i dont struggle with reading at all and just some spelling and grammar issues (sometimes i write letters or whole words backwards but its not as common as i used to) for me it was and always has been like a mental block with numbers, they confuse me and as people describe letters and words "moving about the page" when they try to read with dyslexia, numbers do that for me. not saying i'm problem free with writing though. dyslexia is much more than just words and numbers though, it can cause difficulty with planning and organisation, memory and being easily distracted.
oh my god, thats a thing? i always thought i was stupid for having so much difficulty with time and distance and clocks and graphs and everything. people still tell me im stupid cause i cant read clocks
Same! It takes me longer to tell time, I can't do basic math and I always mix numbers up. At work people have work ID numbers and I have to ask what it is and I always swap a number or I miss a number and I don't realize it so I made it a habit to ask them to repeat it. My spelling and reading is fine its just with numbers.
sleepyinsomniac yeah I did't know that was a thing either when I was growing up I was just told oh she is just really bad at math and just let me pass every math class without a second thought even though I failed every test. I don't wear watches in fear of people asking me for the time, takes me to long to figure it out.
I have a very sad story. In the early 60's no one knew what dyslexic was. So i was put in a group of kids that where very special needs, each year i got to go to the next grade level not because i earned it. They said it was the right thing to do. I didn't find out i was dyslexic until my girls were diagnosed with it. I still don't get the spelling but when kids where learning what to use like ( their or there - were or where) because i didn't get that part of grammar I'm never sure witch one to ues. But here is the good part when i got a job i ended up with a secretary that did all of my writing for me. I was making over $70,000 a year.
This makes no sense. How did you fix it? How do you even get bye writing if you dont know what you are writing or reading? Like it seems sorta baffling.
@@Turnpost2552 I always had someone that knew my problem and helped me. I can read now but it's taken all my life to get where I'm at today take a good look at my text you'll see I will not use big words and some words are not even a word. the way I can explain to anyone I learned how to read my site. I remember the words. I still get my spelling wrong and my grammar but most people can read what I'm texting to say. Most people don't know I can't spell because I'm dyslexic but now I type thur my phone if it's not a word I use often you may think I just missed spelled a word but really I don't or didn't know that I spelled it wrong. For some reason door open to me when other would work their butt off, it's been hard all my life but I can read most of what people are texting to say if I don't I'll ask someone to read it to me.
I never hide my dyslexia. I had a group project a while back and i was the only person with a decent hanwriting. So i told them the second we started “you need to spell your names for me bc i can’t spell for the life of me” i never really had problems with reading except for the fact that i skip over alot of words and i can’t spell lmao
I just add random words into a sentence I am reading if I don’t understand it. I usually just make assumptions on what the words are instead instead of actually reading them. Otherwise i would read a page while everyone else would have read 4.
guys could someone tell me if I’m dyslexic it till I was 10/9 to be able to read a book for 3/4 year olds. Math paper is just my worse night mare Some how I have it in my brain that 4=a 7=f E a u o like to be each other The trick for left and right doesn’t work coz how am I supposed to tell which one is the L I write words by just writing the 1st letters I can not use a keyboard but a computer is the only way I can get spell check I can miss full sentences and words when writing And what is the difference between b and d, F and E, q and p I can’t for the life of me do my alphabet I count using litters Some fonts just don’t work for me even if it’s like a “normal” font I say the time is forty five past 2 instead of saying thifteen to three And paragraphs like to be one massive piece of sgigurlly line I can read the same line other and other and it won’t make sense My mom can say something to me and I will have to repeat it in my head for ages for to make sense some times I have to tell her to repeat it. My uncle had dyslexia And my mom is sure I don’t have it but my friends are certain I do The list can go one but I my brain hurts now so yeah Edit I also stutter a lot and sometimes I can’t speak coz the words won’t go into my head
I cant spell check for myself, when i write, i know how it is suppose to be written like but eventually i cant arrange the letters according to what it suppose to be like. Like mess up the letters, but the most funniest thing is when i spell check and read it again i could not detect it at all, but when my teacher read it, she dont know what im trying to spell actually or trying to tell 😂😂, she called out to me and pointed out a lot of ununderstanding words. Up to this day (im 18) i still have problems to spell friend properly, i need to pronounce the letter and spell check it like 3 times before i satisfied, i get so confused whether i or e comes first. Not just that, i could not determine left or right. I am struggling with it so much...i just cant do it. When people determine something between left or right like in a blink of eyes, i was amazed cause i need to look at my hands and position or rotate my body according to my hands just to determine it, and it was hard cause i need to do it a lot of times just for a single thing, i am struggling with it so so so bad
Does she have a coloured overlay that can help. Try not to correct her spelling it can get frustrating. If your studying a book and she's struggling audiobook can help theres a lot on RUclips. A lot of us struggle reading out loud so if your alone with her read with her remind her of how well she's doing but not to much as it can make it feel like a child. Reading pens, schools may supply them they help on words that we can't work out. Coloured pens for notes. Books can help reading and can be enjoyable or if that's not her thing audiobooks .
I hate when u tell someone that u have it and they straight away start talking about it themselves and interrogating u like they're trying to prove their life is harder and its all a competition
I always feel bad when someone with dyslexia writes something and I can barely read it because their word order is messed up or something. I feel so guilty because I know it's not their fault
When ever I write a youtube comment, forum post, essay etc, I have to copy and paste it to google translate and use the text to speech feature to make sure it makes human sense lol (Note: I had to do that with this comment too)
Being dyslexic in the 80's and 90's was horrible. No one was as understanding of it as they are today. I never got extra time and was allways seen as an idiot. My entire life. The worst part was being treated as though it was simply something I could correct. That eventually I would be "normal" and if I wasn't then it was MY fault. I never felt more tortured then the day I was asked by my mother to use the last of her money (we were vary poor) to buy 4 dozen eggs and a gallon of milk. I returned home with 4 gallons of milk and a dozen of eggs. My father punished me and beat me for my mistake. I have allways felt more ignorant then everyone around me because I can not spell correctly (auto correct is amazing btw😅) but regardless I have grown into an amazing adult. While I may not have been lucky enough to go to college or get a good start in life because of my dyslexia, I have (thanks to technology and the internet) grown significantly intelligent. To the point were even my worst enamies now admit that I am smarter then them. I feel living my life regarded as "slow" or "lazy" by those who did not understand kept me from a lot of opportunities in life. I am happy to see that my misfortunes will not be effecting others with dyslexia in the future. While I may be working a vary below average job, at least I can now tell people I have dyslexia and not be ashamed. It is no longer seen as a "deficiency" and we are no longer treated like idiots. That is honestly more then a good enough reason to keep living my life.
Your amazing and kept moving forward i went throw alot with my family but school was horrible for me but when i see alot of people older than me now that have the same it keeps me moving forward 😁
Even though I'm from the early 90s this is exactly the exeloerience I also had and even though it was beggining to get recognised and taken seriously, the screening and tests were shit. I didn't get diagnosed til a year ago. I had a screening as a kid and it never got picked up. I got ridiculed by teachers and my parents thinking I was vbeing lazy or didn't give a shit or just pretending I couldn't do it. I got ridiculed by friends and peers laughing at me for not expressing my words properly or saying the right sentence and being called dumb for it or special or stupid. So yeah I can imagine circumstances were much worse bck then,but even now regardless of the recognition there are still people struggling.
@@helplessnarwhal3722 I was going to angrily come at you saying that I hate the movies and that it’s one of my favourite book series, but then I read my comment and realized I haven’t read them yet back then 😅 I fully agree with you. The movies can only be considered good if they weren’t based on a book series, buuut ... By the way, Dominic Noble actually has a really good (and funny!) review of the movie adaptation here on RUclips! (Edit: spelling)
GFXBottlecap you realize you are literally the exact type of person they're trying to change with this? They literally say multiple times all over that they read and write. Huh wow, watching the video, really makes you think... 🤔

It helped me a lot when I had severe memory loss that was so bad I actually could not remember how to reboot a computer and had to keep asking people because I would even forget where I wrote it down... to each his own I really don't care I just try to get the word out to those who are interested
I'm dyslexic. English is my favorite subject. I love reading, free writing, poetry, etc. My vocabulary and literature understanding is at college level (I'm a sophmore). It is possible to overcome it. It's hard as heck, but possible. Also if you ever freaking tell me to read out loud I swear ;^;
Me too! Foreign Lang. has been insanely difficult though, it’s like having to learn how to read, write, spell all over again. I’m thinking of switching to an online class for it because my current French teacher is just too fast paced.
I love reading, writing and poetry too. I read everyday but I did not overcome my dyslexia... I learned how to live with it; dyslexia it's how my brain works it's part of who I am and how I learn, sometimes it's difficult because reading and writing isn't easy for me EVER but that's what makes it more interesting and it drives me to improve myself on it to the point that reading and writing is something I do everyday for hours. P.s. I didn't double check what I wrote but I did put a lot of thought on what I was typing, I believe that is its a good enough text
I'm not dyslexic and I struggle immensely with reading out loud. I guess my mind goes faster than my mouth can and it struggles to keep up. Thus, everything comes out at supersonic speed and sometimes jumbled like I tossed the words into a blender and hit puree. I just speak so fast people have to tell me to slow the eff down so they can follow what I'm saying. I often have to repeat myself at least twice and speak at a pace that feels unnaturally slow to me to be understood.
Someone said once that I "don't look dyslexic". I genuinely didn't know how to respond 😅. PS. I love using voice type. Only when I'm alone tho. It is so annoying when I can't spell a word and my autocorrect doesn't know what I am trying to say.
I used to hate it when the teacher would pass out a three-page thing to read, give us a few minutes, and then want to discuss. She'd be like "Is there anyone who's not finished?" I'm still on page one at this point. If I speak up and say I'm not done, she wants to give me a couple extra minutes, and I'm still on page one. So, I just don't speak up.
My teachers refuse because they say I'm "just not trying hard enough" when in reality I actually just can't figure out what the **** is written on the paper. My mom and close friends also think I have ADHD.
Depression "Just try being happy for once." Anxiety "Just stop being worried" ( I suffer from both btw ) Mhm yes thank you yes that definitely helped me thank you for your input
These are the ones that really irritates me and I get it all the time "you feel too sorry for yourself". "You need to get out a bit more ". "I've been depressed before as well but I just got over it ". "Do something that will get it off your mind -go out and party or something ". "It's all in your head". "Your over thinking it ,just leave it ". "You have to think more possitively". "Your too young to be depressed ". "Everyone has issues ,everyone's been bullied at school you need to get over it ". I get at least 1 of these all the time and usually it's come from friends as well , it irritates me so much 😂😂 it's like if you think that depression is just feeling sad for no reason then you need to do your research before challenging someone who has it and has to deal.with it on a daily basis . Just because it's not a visible condition doesn't mean that it's not serious or that people are being dramatic.
I have dyslexic, even at 4 I always knew I was different from other kids. Today I have my bachelors degree in Marketing and I’m trying to get an art certification from community college
Blogel Night Its a learning disorder where you have a hard time interpreting words and letters, therefore it’s pretty difficult to read write sometimes.
They thought I had grown out of ADHD. I was taken off my medicine which really helped and left me to my own. The only reason I finished HS was because of all the shop classes I took. Wood shop, metal shop, mechanical drawing, graphic design, industrial machine shop and the list goes on.
“I’m a bit dyslexic too, u shouldn’t get to use a laptop for exams it’s just not fair” says my super academic friend who never has dyslexia problems- NO U ARE NOT I WOULD SWAP IT IN A HEARTBEAT U LITTLE B**** 😂😂😂 - rant over
EDAM presents omg same, everyone found it 'unfair' how I completed my exams on the computer but guess what some I didn't even get to fully finish even though I had a computer
This is how I usually explain my dyslexia. You’re on the sea, a sea of alphabet soup and it’s a storm. Suddenly a hour has past and you’re not past the first page. You can’t remember what you read and will have a headache the whole night Edit: spell check
Probably not the best advice but I've grown and learned to mask my dyslexia with humor. I got so many stories I can write a book. In highschool, I was always the last to enter class and the last to leave - for fear of other students seeing me going or coming from my closet sized classroom.( I swear that s*%! use to be a janitor's closet.) " Ray you need to hurry or you'll be late for your next class. " fuuu@=!% that s@%$. I'll be alright. .Its a different world for us dyslexic folks. We jump hurdles others dont have. We become masters of avoidance and alternate routes. We're survivors so it forces us to be creative which in turn shapes and molds our genius. For me, School work was super easy. Since I was a freshman doing 3 grad work, I was on the honor roll all throughout high school. My teachers would often shower me with "Attaboys and Ray you'r killing it." I guess they thought I was too slow to realize it was all b@$$#!&$. Lol smh who feels it knows. How could they truly undetstand.. we're just a different typ of genius.
I'm dyslexic and when I was younger like 5, 6, 7 and ,8 I would throw a fit if I had to read and my parents would have to force me but as I got older it was the total opposite and my parents would have to force me to stop reading. Books/reading are my favourite things but still I constantly read the same line over and over again. And some people just assume that if you have dyslexia you don't like to read which is totally not true! Also I found this video so relatable and true.

I was diagnosed with dyslexia this year, after I finished my GCSEs, and boy it was a struggle to finish the exams, especially in both English language and literature
I'm from the age group that was not diagnosed and I know I could have gone to univerctiy and have done great things with my life. I'm writing this crying as I suffered as a child in the school. I knew there was something wrong but didn't know what it was??!! I think I'm one of the best actress I've ever known as I learned how to hide my Dyslexia!! I am such an intelligent woman and it's sad that I never got my break in life!! I'm so happy that things have changed and to hear these wonderful people have achived so much!! Love and go
I have Dyslexia. Reading comics saved my confidence when I couldn’t read books. Having a compassionate art teacher who listened, meant I could pursue my interests while helping me jump through the hoops I needed to get a passing grade. Everyone has to find their own way of learning in life. For us Dyslexics, we just come to terms with this earlier. What’s more, the school/exam system REALLY isn’t built to suite our performance style. That’s why methods get tweaked a lot for us so we can keep up with an education structure that caters to the majority. I can spend years on the same book, despite loving it. I can’t do textbooks... unless they’re visually minded. Visual queues don’t work the same for all dyslexics. Some are more audio focused or tactile. I LOVE watching documentaries, interviews or lectures on complex topics, so I’m not a ‘bad’ learner just a different one. One thing that’s not talked about enough is the tole Dyslexia can take on your confidence through life. When the right learning tools are available (especially at a young age) we flourish! Without such tools, negative learning experiences can have an emotional knock on affect. We can develop secondary issues like Anxiety, depression, organisational issues...etc which can make meeting goals even harder, but it’a not about being lazy, it’s about being considered and supported. As another note, Dyslexia doesn’t get ‘fixed’ when you’re hyper interested in a topic. I LOVE playing D&D, but struggle to remember basic rules despite playing it for years. It’s embarrassing, but having the right support (friends/fam/etc) makes the difference between you keeping up with something or not. I’m really thankful that I’ve had the right support in my life to grow with my passions. I really hope the education system continues to research ways to support different learning needs/methods, not just for our sakes but for everyone’s sake. Nuro diversity is a gift! And we dyslexics (as just one example of nuro diversity) are a real asset in the workplace, BECAUSE of the way we perceive and consider topics differently!
MontanasaurusRex !! I was raised in Alabama, so when I moved west to everyone thought I was stupid because I can't read, write, or speak quickly. (I didn't have much of an accent, but everyone speaks faster outside of the south). Not to mention shows like duck dynasty and swamp hunter(?) make the stereotype ever worse.
YES! My family pronounces words in a strange way and if I tried to spell things the way I heard them, I looked so stupid. Pecan was pronounced with a B sound and I would write "Bacon" and it was so embarrassing.
That’s how my dyslexia is, I can read perfectly fine. But I struggle to write it down or speak and read out loud. I worked in a grocery store and I can’t tell you how many times I read the cents before the dollars. People were shocked when I would say $95.10 instead of $10.95 😂
Someone has told me I don’t look dyslexic... wut?

earthworm sally It’s really annoying, I know. I have been told that I must have a misdiagnosis of dyslexia as I am “too intelligent” to be dyslexic as I have a degree and can express myself well. This was told to me by someone who I only knew for about an hour 😆🤦🏻♀️
@@alaurahwillow155 I am a freshman in college and I got a full scholarship so people automatically assume that I am too smart to have dyslexia. Dyslexia isn't about being smart.

It's so hard, I decided to learn korean/japanese a few years ago thinking it would be easier because it's symbols instead of actual letters but it still isn't easy, I took spanish for 2 1/2 years and no matter how hard I studied I still failed the multiple choice final and got a C on speaking and writing bc I did all the write stuff but spelled most wrong :( it's hard

Getting asked to read aloud in class was my worst fear in school. 😂

@@jilomell3830 I really wish you would try that superbrain yoga and tell me if you get the results that a lot of people claim to have gotten with it... also there is a tea called butterfly blue pea tea.. and you take the flowers and steep about five or six of them for about 20 minutes to a half-hour and it is supposed to be very good for the neurology and everything that has to do with the brain and it's supposed to be very good for you for neurological things.
Another one that's supposed to be very good for the brain but tastes horrible and so you might be better off taking it in capsules is called haritaki... you can even go to the haritaki channel... he even sells it in the capsules... if you do it in the regular powdered form is really gross because it has a horrible taste and also the texture is like powdered sawdust.. supposedly it increases the oxygen by something like 300% to the brain and it just makes you a lot smarter and helps with many things and so you might want to look into it

Oh big agree
“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid”
In school people get's judged by their ability to spell and read. If you aren't able to do it, you will be labeled as stupid, lazy, worthless and the list goes on. Even if you know that it's not true, it will immensely damage a persons selfesteem and scar them for life, and if a person doesn't treat these psychological scar. It will affect them for the rest of their life, which is unfortunate but sadly true.

I have a teacher who's dyslexic and once talked about needing spell-check. The cool thing is that people told her she wouldn't make it past high-school, now she's the coolest teacher.
I'm a primary teacher and I have to say that dyslexic pupils have my greatest respect. I've yet to meet a child with dyslexia who doesn't put 110% into their education, and knowing how much more difficult the whole curriculum is (due to it being very word and sight heavy) I am always amazed at their effort and results despite their condition. Last year I had a heart to heart with a young girl in my class who had been successfully concealing her dyslexia, previous teachers had just presumed she wasn't as smart as others and put her in the lowest groups. However, she is so witty and creative, finally it just clicked for me one day and she is now on a specialised programme. She was so embarrassed that she had been 'found out', but her parents and I explained why she had no reason to be ashamed - in fact, she should be proud of how much she has achieved despite her disadvantage. She hailed Steven Spielberg - arguably the best known director alive today and the man behind her favourite movie, E.T. - as her new hero as he is one of the many people out there today proving dyslexia doesn't stop people from doing great things.
Someone in this video mentioned ignorance - absolutely, the people who say those things written on those slips are merely showing their lack of knowledge.
Thank you
You’re like my teacher
There are people out there without the ability to empathise with anyone different to them - the fact that some of those people get themselves into responsible positions, like doctors and teachers, is frightening. Your teacher sounds like a moron, I hope you had others at school who actually understood what dyslexia was and gave you a more enjoyable education! As for folk who say they wouldn't date a dyslexic person, I'd respond that you don't want to date someone who, by thinking that, is so clearly narrow-minded, idiotic and not worth the time! :)
You're better than those people, mate!

Being dyslexic the best thing ever is the mini microphone on the keyboard that you can just click and talk into and it will type out all your words, ever since I discovered it all my friends have been like wow Ava you're so good at spelling and wow Ava you're so fast at typing
Ava Linehan Lol I do the same thing 👏😂
Doesn’t work properly if you don’t speak English natively. For example Finnish version works quite well, but you have to articulate very slowly and carefully. Otherwise it’ll say something completely different if anything. I’d rather type out than take the risk of ”autocorrect” kind of situation.
Omg saaaame! I mean sometimes autocorrect just can’t figure out what I want cause the spelling is so bad😂 The mini mic is amazing!
It takes time and practice to master writing skills as a dyslexic. I'm dyslexic and I am an excellent writer in my native language, but when I have to switch to another language (I am a trilingual) it's super frustrating because I have to remember spelling, grammar, pronunciation and frequently I have to stop and check if I haven't messed up anything. It used to be much worse two years ago. I'm getting better every day at it but I have to work extra hard on it.

You can’t cure dyslexia but you can learn how to get better and beat it 😇
Yo huge Respect man 🤟🏻
I asked my parents for help in seventh grade because I was having trouble reading. They took me to the eye doctor and because he said my vision was 20/20. They dismissed me and said I just wanted glasses because my friends had glasses. So at the age of fifty I was finally diagnosed with dyslexia.
beat it? no it's forever with you 😅

Everstruggling yeah, I use green tinted paper and it really helps. Just calms down the words and stops them from shaking.. nothing much. But the mark difference on exams before and after green is MASSIVEEEE
@Everstruggling I use a blue overlay on top of white paper and that helps a lot :)

I have numerical dyslexia (dyscalculia) and its so frustrating because a lot of people don't realize the "other" symptoms: not getting things like distance, analog clocks, counting graph paper lines, messing up time. It's passed off as "dyslexia doesn't have extra symptoms", but 1. they do, and 2. even if they didn't that has no bearing on me. Thank you so much for sharing this!
Catherine Trewhella Yess oh my gosh, it’s like that with my dyslexia too!! people are like “but you can spell fine” and I’m like yeah but it effects memory and reading and writing speed, etc
i'm dyslexic and its always been numbers the main issue, I can read and write fine, i dont struggle with reading at all and just some spelling and grammar issues (sometimes i write letters or whole words backwards but its not as common as i used to) for me it was and always has been like a mental block with numbers, they confuse me and as people describe letters and words "moving about the page" when they try to read with dyslexia, numbers do that for me. not saying i'm problem free with writing though.
dyslexia is much more than just words and numbers though, it can cause difficulty with planning and organisation, memory and being easily distracted.
oh my god, thats a thing? i always thought i was stupid for having so much difficulty with time and distance and clocks and graphs and everything. people still tell me im stupid cause i cant read clocks
Same! It takes me longer to tell time, I can't do basic math and I always mix numbers up. At work people have work ID numbers and I have to ask what it is and I always swap a number or I miss a number and I don't realize it so I made it a habit to ask them to repeat it. My spelling and reading is fine its just with numbers.
sleepyinsomniac yeah I did't know that was a thing either when I was growing up I was just told oh she is just really bad at math and just let me pass every math class without a second thought even though I failed every test. I don't wear watches in fear of people asking me for the time, takes me to long to figure it out.
Random fact: My school's librarian is dyslexic
Just thought that'd be cool to say lol
I have a very sad story. In the early 60's no one knew what dyslexic was. So i was put in a group of kids that where very special needs, each year i got to go to the next grade level not because i earned it. They said it was the right thing to do. I didn't find out i was dyslexic until my girls were diagnosed with it. I still don't get the spelling but when kids where learning what to use like ( their or there - were or where) because i didn't get that part of grammar I'm never sure witch one to ues. But here is the good part when i got a job i ended up with a secretary that did all of my writing for me. I was making over $70,000 a year.
This makes no sense. How did you fix it? How do you even get bye writing if you dont know what you are writing or reading? Like it seems sorta baffling.

I remember the words. I still get my spelling wrong and my grammar but most people can read what I'm texting to say. Most people don't know I can't spell because I'm dyslexic but now I type thur my phone if it's not a word I use often you may think I just missed spelled a word but really I don't or didn't know that I spelled it wrong. For some reason door open to me when other would work their butt off, it's been hard all my life but I can read most of what people are texting to say if I don't I'll ask someone to read it to me.
"You just need to focus" well sorry I got dyslexia and ADHD
I never hide my dyslexia. I had a group project a while back and i was the only person with a decent hanwriting. So i told them the second we started “you need to spell your names for me bc i can’t spell for the life of me” i never really had problems with reading except for the fact that i skip over alot of words and i can’t spell lmao
I just add random words into a sentence I am reading if I don’t understand it. I usually just make assumptions on what the words are instead instead of actually reading them. Otherwise i would read a page while everyone else would have read 4.
@@HarrisonAdAstra same 😂
Spell check doesn't even work for me sometimes... I spell something so incorrect that the computer just doesn't even know what I'm saying... XD
guys could someone tell me if I’m dyslexic it till I was 10/9 to be able to read a book for 3/4 year olds.
Math paper is just my worse night mare
Some how I have it in my brain that 4=a 7=f
E a u o like to be each other
The trick for left and right doesn’t work coz how am I supposed to tell which one is the L
I write words by just writing the 1st letters
I can not use a keyboard but a computer is the only way I can get spell check
I can miss full sentences and words when writing
And what is the difference between b and d, F and E, q and p
I can’t for the life of me do my alphabet
I count using litters
Some fonts just don’t work for me even if it’s like a “normal” font
I say the time is forty five past 2 instead of saying thifteen to three
And paragraphs like to be one massive piece of sgigurlly line
I can read the same line other and other and it won’t make sense
My mom can say something to me and I will have to repeat it in my head for ages for to make sense some times I have to tell her to repeat it.
My uncle had dyslexia
And my mom is sure I don’t have it but my friends are certain I do
The list can go one but I my brain hurts now so yeah
Edit I also stutter a lot and sometimes I can’t speak coz the words won’t go into my head
Amin to that!!!
I cant spell check for myself, when i write, i know how it is suppose to be written like but eventually i cant arrange the letters according to what it suppose to be like. Like mess up the letters, but the most funniest thing is when i spell check and read it again i could not detect it at all, but when my teacher read it, she dont know what im trying to spell actually or trying to tell 😂😂, she called out to me and pointed out a lot of ununderstanding words. Up to this day (im 18) i still have problems to spell friend properly, i need to pronounce the letter and spell check it like 3 times before i satisfied, i get so confused whether i or e comes first. Not just that, i could not determine left or right. I am struggling with it so much...i just cant do it. When people determine something between left or right like in a blink of eyes, i was amazed cause i need to look at my hands and position or rotate my body according to my hands just to determine it, and it was hard cause i need to do it a lot of times just for a single thing, i am struggling with it so so so bad
faiznur anis can relate on the left and right. I hate it the finger and thumb trick annoys me as it doesn’t work
What actually happens when you get tested
My classmate is dyslexic and I'm learning more so she doesn't feel left out
Does she have a coloured overlay that can help. Try not to correct her spelling it can get frustrating. If your studying a book and she's struggling audiobook can help theres a lot on RUclips. A lot of us struggle reading out loud so if your alone with her read with her remind her of how well she's doing but not to much as it can make it feel like a child. Reading pens, schools may supply them they help on words that we can't work out. Coloured pens for notes. Books can help reading and can be enjoyable or if that's not her thing audiobooks .
I hate when u tell someone that u have it and they straight away start talking about it themselves and interrogating u like they're trying to prove their life is harder and its all a competition
I always feel bad when someone with dyslexia writes something and I can barely read it because their word order is messed up or something. I feel so guilty because I know it's not their fault
When ever I write a youtube comment, forum post, essay etc, I have to copy and paste it to google translate and use the text to speech feature to make sure it makes human sense lol
(Note: I had to do that with this comment too)
Roran that’s actually a brilliant idea, I might try that!😂
@@oliversmith5927
You're welcome :)
tigergirl305 thank you for understanding
I read my old papers from elementary and God damn I had some terrible writing
Being dyslexic in the 80's and 90's was horrible. No one was as understanding of it as they are today. I never got extra time and was allways seen as an idiot. My entire life. The worst part was being treated as though it was simply something I could correct. That eventually I would be "normal" and if I wasn't then it was MY fault. I never felt more tortured then the day I was asked by my mother to use the last of her money (we were vary poor) to buy 4 dozen eggs and a gallon of milk. I returned home with 4 gallons of milk and a dozen of eggs. My father punished me and beat me for my mistake. I have allways felt more ignorant then everyone around me because I can not spell correctly (auto correct is amazing btw😅) but regardless I have grown into an amazing adult. While I may not have been lucky enough to go to college or get a good start in life because of my dyslexia, I have (thanks to technology and the internet) grown significantly intelligent. To the point were even my worst enamies now admit that I am smarter then them. I feel living my life regarded as "slow" or "lazy" by those who did not understand kept me from a lot of opportunities in life. I am happy to see that my misfortunes will not be effecting others with dyslexia in the future. While I may be working a vary below average job, at least I can now tell people I have dyslexia and not be ashamed. It is no longer seen as a "deficiency" and we are no longer treated like idiots. That is honestly more then a good enough reason to keep living my life.
Jason Allcreator so long I can’t read it
Your amazing and kept moving forward i went throw alot with my family but school was horrible for me but when i see alot of people older than me now that have the same it keeps me moving forward 😁
YES! exactly the way it was in school for me too!
:---: I don't have time for.this oof
Even though I'm from the early 90s this is exactly the exeloerience I also had and even though it was beggining to get recognised and taken seriously, the screening and tests were shit. I didn't get diagnosed til a year ago. I had a screening as a kid and it never got picked up. I got ridiculed by teachers and my parents thinking I was vbeing lazy or didn't give a shit or just pretending I couldn't do it. I got ridiculed by friends and peers laughing at me for not expressing my words properly or saying the right sentence and being called dumb for it or special or stupid. So yeah I can imagine circumstances were much worse bck then,but even now regardless of the recognition there are still people struggling.
aughh the thing that hurts is when they say
“your just using Dyslexia as an excuse of your mistakes.”
Have you read Persy Jackson and the Olympians?
I guess if it's an appropriate question

Things not to do to people with dyslexia : make them read out little pieces of paper about what people ask them...
GFXBottlecap dude, i dont think you know how dyslexia works.
I was wondering how they can read the paper
GFXBottlecap you realize you are literally the exact type of person they're trying to change with this? They literally say multiple times all over that they read and write. Huh wow, watching the video, really makes you think... 🤔
Omg we CAN in fact read.
i take my time, read it in my head first. then bam it comes out straight! its not impossible just takes time!
Voice recognition and spell check are the only reason I can function in my day to day life.

@@gardensofthegods no thanks, I don't fancy wasting my time
It helped me a lot when I had severe memory loss that was so bad I actually could not remember how to reboot a computer and had to keep asking people because I would even forget where I wrote it down... to each his own I really don't care I just try to get the word out to those who are interested
MeowShoo I use the microphone on my phone all the time. It’s much quicker and well
Without voice recognition nobody would understand me

“How do you read music if you’re dyslexic?” - someone every time I say I’m a music major 🤣
my teacher was once like it’s ok i’m a bit dyslexic sometimes and i just stared at her like hahaha wtf
I'm dyslexic. English is my favorite subject. I love reading, free writing, poetry, etc. My vocabulary and literature understanding is at college level (I'm a sophmore). It is possible to overcome it. It's hard as heck, but possible.
Also if you ever freaking tell me to read out loud I swear ;^;
It sure is! I am a reading teacher now and in grad school! I always tell my students that you can do anything if you really want to!
I can not read it loud it just doesn't work but I'm not dyslexic
Me too! Foreign Lang. has been insanely difficult though, it’s like having to learn how to read, write, spell all over again. I’m thinking of switching to an online class for it because my current French teacher is just too fast paced.
I love reading, writing and poetry too. I read everyday but I did not overcome my dyslexia... I learned how to live with it; dyslexia it's how my brain works it's part of who I am and how I learn, sometimes it's difficult because reading and writing isn't easy for me EVER but that's what makes it more interesting and it drives me to improve myself on it to the point that reading and writing is something I do everyday for hours.
P.s. I didn't double check what I wrote but I did put a lot of thought on what I was typing, I believe that is its a good enough text
I'm not dyslexic and I struggle immensely with reading out loud. I guess my mind goes faster than my mouth can and it struggles to keep up. Thus, everything comes out at supersonic speed and sometimes jumbled like I tossed the words into a blender and hit puree. I just speak so fast people have to tell me to slow the eff down so they can follow what I'm saying. I often have to repeat myself at least twice and speak at a pace that feels unnaturally slow to me to be understood.

Anna Wolf no wonder why
That poor kid.. that parent needs to be educated
Taylor King Yup
Someone said once that I "don't look dyslexic". I genuinely didn't know how to respond 😅.
PS. I love using voice type. Only when I'm alone tho. It is so annoying when I can't spell a word and my autocorrect doesn't know what I am trying to say.
Everything the light touches is our kingdom "you don't look dyslexic" "yeah, and you certainly don't look ignorant"
The struggle is real
Everything the light touches is our kingdom YES I FEEL YOU
What? What does dyslexic even look like? lol
Everything the light touches is our kingdom it’s when autocorrect get it wrong and you don’t know !
I used to hate it when the teacher would pass out a three-page thing to read, give us a few minutes, and then want to discuss. She'd be like "Is there anyone who's not finished?" I'm still on page one at this point. If I speak up and say I'm not done, she wants to give me a couple extra minutes, and I'm still on page one. So, I just don't speak up.
IM STRANGE I LIKE BOOKS BUT IM DYSLEXIC, dorororodo dororodoo
👏Your👏 not👏 special👏

Theres different levels of dyslexia.

Please do things not to say to people with anxiety or depression
Depression
"Just try being happy for once."
Anxiety
"Just stop being worried"
( I suffer from both btw )
Mhm yes thank you yes that definitely helped me thank you for your input
These are the ones that really irritates me and I get it all the time "you feel too sorry for yourself". "You need to get out a bit more ". "I've been depressed before as well but I just got over it ". "Do something that will get it off your mind -go out and party or something ". "It's all in your head". "Your over thinking it ,just leave it ".
"You have to think more possitively". "Your too young to be depressed ". "Everyone has issues ,everyone's been bullied at school you need to get over it ". I get at least 1 of these all the time and usually it's come from friends as well , it irritates me so much 😂😂 it's like if you think that depression is just feeling sad for no reason then you need to do your research before challenging someone who has it and has to deal.with it on a daily basis . Just because it's not a visible condition doesn't mean that it's not serious or that people are being dramatic.

Same then my grades dropped now im in year 10 and I am getting like ones and twos
They thought I had grown out of ADHD. I was taken off my medicine which really helped and left me to my own. The only reason I finished HS was because of all the shop classes I took. Wood shop, metal shop, mechanical drawing, graphic design, industrial machine shop and the list goes on.
To be honest though everyone can improve their reading skills if they really want to.
When I get told "you just need to double check it for mistakes" gets me every time

You can’t remember what you read and will have a headache the whole night
Edit: spell check
Probably not the best advice but I've grown and learned to mask my dyslexia with humor. I got so many stories I can write a book. In highschool, I was always the last to enter class and the last to leave - for fear of other students seeing me going or coming from my closet sized classroom.( I swear that s*%! use to be a janitor's closet.) " Ray you need to hurry or you'll be late for your next class. " fuuu@=!% that s@%$. I'll be alright. .Its a different world for us dyslexic folks. We jump hurdles others dont have. We become masters of avoidance and alternate routes. We're survivors so it forces us to be creative which in turn shapes and molds our genius.
For me, School work was super easy. Since I was a freshman doing 3 grad work, I was on the honor roll all throughout high school. My teachers would often shower me with "Attaboys and Ray you'r killing it." I guess they thought I was too slow to realize it was all b@$$#!&$. Lol smh who feels it knows. How could they truly undetstand.. we're just a different typ of genius.
I'm dyslexic and when I was younger like 5, 6, 7 and ,8 I would throw a fit if I had to read and my parents would have to force me but as I got older it was the total opposite and my parents would have to force me to stop reading. Books/reading are my favourite things but still I constantly read the same line over and over again. And some people just assume that if you have dyslexia you don't like to read which is totally not true! Also I found this video so relatable and true.

The pain and suffering that come along when there's no one to understand you and really be there for you when you need them the most.

I have fully punched someone because they kept saying “I’m a bit dyslexic” or when they say something stupid they say “I’m sooo dyslexic”
I'm from the age group that was not diagnosed and I know I could have gone to univerctiy and have done great things with my life. I'm writing this crying as I suffered as a child in the school. I knew there was something wrong but didn't know what it was??!! I think I'm one of the best actress I've ever known as I learned how to hide my Dyslexia!!

I'm so happy that things have changed and to hear these wonderful people have achived so much!!
Love and go
I have Dyslexia. Reading comics saved my confidence when I couldn’t read books. Having a compassionate art teacher who listened, meant I could pursue my interests while helping me jump through the hoops I needed to get a passing grade. Everyone has to find their own way of learning in life. For us Dyslexics, we just come to terms with this earlier. What’s more, the school/exam system REALLY isn’t built to suite our performance style. That’s why methods get tweaked a lot for us so we can keep up with an education structure that caters to the majority. I can spend years on the same book, despite loving it. I can’t do textbooks... unless they’re visually minded. Visual queues don’t work the same for all dyslexics. Some are more audio focused or tactile. I LOVE watching documentaries, interviews or lectures on complex topics, so I’m not a ‘bad’ learner just a different one. One thing that’s not talked about enough is the tole Dyslexia can take on your confidence through life. When the right learning tools are available (especially at a young age) we flourish! Without such tools, negative learning experiences can have an emotional knock on affect. We can develop secondary issues like Anxiety, depression, organisational issues...etc which can make meeting goals even harder, but it’a not about being lazy, it’s about being considered and supported. As another note, Dyslexia doesn’t get ‘fixed’ when you’re hyper interested in a topic. I LOVE playing D&D, but struggle to remember basic rules despite playing it for years. It’s embarrassing, but having the right support (friends/fam/etc) makes the difference between you keeping up with something or not. I’m really thankful that I’ve had the right support in my life to grow with my passions. I really hope the education system continues to research ways to support different learning needs/methods, not just for our sakes but for everyone’s sake. Nuro diversity is a gift! And we dyslexics (as just one example of nuro diversity) are a real asset in the workplace, BECAUSE of the way we perceive and consider topics differently!

I have dyslexia and I'm southern so the mix of How I talk and how I write people think I'm stupid I'm really not
MontanasaurusRex !!
I was raised in Alabama, so when I moved west to everyone thought I was stupid because I can't read, write, or speak quickly. (I didn't have much of an accent, but everyone speaks faster outside of the south).
Not to mention shows like duck dynasty and swamp hunter(?) make the stereotype ever worse.
I feel you...
YES! My family pronounces words in a strange way and if I tried to spell things the way I heard them, I looked so stupid. Pecan was pronounced with a B sound and I would write "Bacon" and it was so embarrassing.
People generally make out that the Southerners are stupid in the first place. I actually like their accents though.
That’s how my dyslexia is, I can read perfectly fine. But I struggle to write it down or speak and read out loud.
I worked in a grocery store and I can’t tell you how many times I read the cents before the dollars. People were shocked when I would say $95.10 instead of $10.95 😂
In school i have a friend that has dyslexia and when we read certain articles she asks me to help her read. It’s a really cool perspective! ❤️
I feel this in my soul. Plus the more frustrated you get, the worse the words are. Looks like it's in another language.
