      +Shamie M This is actually true though. I read about 5 books a month, but I'm not a very fast reader. I just spend a lot of time reading.

  • @MarieMa1907
    @MarieMa1907 8 лет назад +113

    I don't have dyslexia, but a couple of years ago i was struggling with this weird reading issue. My mind was going completly OCD and wanted me to read a sentence over and over and OVER again until my brain was 100% sure that yes now i've fully read that sentence. So i was reading extremly slow and it took me triple as much time to get through a book. So reading was exhausting and not fun at all. So i stopped reading for a while. Finding booktube actually helped me get over this problem. I was really in the mood to read again. It went slowly in the beginning and just getting through 20 pages a day was hard, but then i got through 30 p and then 40 p and now i'm reading like i used to again!

    • @saralace8966
      @saralace8966 8 лет назад

      +MarieMa1907 I have the same problem! I used to love reading but when I got OCD it was really difficult for me to read. I feel like I have to read some words over and over again. I still try to read even though it's hard. But I find that it gets better the more I read :) you're not alone xx

    • @doowopshopgal
      @doowopshopgal 8 лет назад

      Sometimes I'm so slow that i section the book in fractions and so if I want to read a book of 100 pages in one week I make sure I divide it into seven and I force myself to read one seventh of that book. Does anybody else to that?

    • @HanQ28
      @HanQ28 8 лет назад

      I actully don't have this particular OCD but I think i completely understand! Throughout my primary and secondary school I really struggled with finishing Maths homework and exams on time, not really because I'm terrible at solving maths equations but there's this super annoying OCD that pushes me to check my calculation and answer over and over and over... I like to check (for at most two times) things when reading, writing and watching too but not nearly to the OCD degree. And I was not very confident as a child and teenage so my parents said I should just 'trust' myself more and stuff like that and just do it, faster. But that's not the (main) problem and it's not helping! I literally couldn't CONTROL myself and OCD just took over my mind and body when i do maths, until I'm like 110% sure the calculation process is all correct.

    • @HanQ28
      @HanQ28 8 лет назад

      but now i'm finishing uni and what I do find is that as my confidence and general level of happiness and inner peace (lol) improve, my habit of reading and writing checking is fading. I'm probably less OCD with Maths too but not sure, since i haven't touched it for years;)

    My sister is dyslexic but loves stories so I tell her the plot of the books I'm currently reading and on the rare occasion she likes the sound of them so she pick it them and tries to read it herself. She prefers to read aloud than in her head (that way I can help her out with some words). A little over a year ago she picked up City of Bones and she's read all six books in the series, sometimes with my help and sometimes by herself. I couldn't be more prouder knowing I helped her find the confidence to read by herself more :)
    Thanks for sharing your story Sasha!

So for anyone who is dealing with an issue like this, don't worry we are all a tiny bit messed up but it's being a tiny bit messed up that makes us human who overcome 😄

    I was diagnosed with dyslexia when I was in elementary school. I was also struggling with being right handed when in all actuality I was left handed. My teacher kept forcing me to use my right hand, letters were being flipped around, and also I would invert numbers as well. The school called in my parents for a meeting and my teacher kept telling my parents that I needed to go to special ed classes. She kept labeling me "retarded" -Her exact words (not trying to offend anyone with that word but that is how I was labeled) My mom flipped out and put me in a rehabilitation center after school and they helped me with learning to be LEFT handed. They made me left handed scissors and taught me to write left handed. I was truly left handed and because my teacher kept telling me I was using the "wrong hand" it made things worse. I went to the rehab center everyday after school and I did fine. I had reading struggles and math struggles but I truly think being in those rehab classes helped me stay caught up in class and stay current with my reading level. After a yr, I didn't have to go to rehab any longer and I did well during my academic years. Thank you for sharing your story with us!!!

    Oh Sasha your story is amazin.The fact you didn't let your dyslexia get in your way is simply amazing. You seriously inspire me to overcome any trials that I have. I remember when I was young and I was not an avid reader my reading was horrible and I hated reading in public as a 5th grader and my reading level was not the best for it should have been it was embarrassing having to read out loud to a kindergartner when we went to go visit their class. I remember feeling so embarrassed that I did not like reading but like you on my own time I started reading and it got better it took years and years for my reading to finally improve but I always had a love for reading because of my grandmother. The fact of what you're majoring in college with your dyslexia and your not letting stop you is amazing! Love your channel!

The fact that you have dyslexia did not stopped you to read and to make videos. You are a true inspiration to young people and I'm glad you put this video out there. It could help many children and young people, who are going through a similar situation as you. I'm so glad you're successful at what you do and keep going like that. Thank you Sasha!

    It's amazing how you can talk about your struggles so openly - I can't say I understand what having dyslexia feels like, but I can understand what having something affect your learning, and hours of testing etc feels like, I have chronic fatigue syndrome along with a multiple other things. It makes long term concentration really hard, so it makes reading harder too! But like you, reading helped me through! I've also missed over four years of school, and I fell behind with so much. It is so frustrating having something holding you back. You're so strong, thank you for sharing this with us. Even though what is "wrong" with us is different, it is also similar in some ways and it's nice to feel not so alone! x

    I have dyslexia and ADHD, I was diagnosed with the two when I was in the 2nd grade, I had a major form of dyslexia and a minor form of ADHD, my dyslexia makes me awful at spelling, I would not know how to spell a word with out the red line under words. My ADHD makes me hyper, I don't think before I say things, I forget what I was going to say in the middle of talking to someone, if I start thinking about stuff I start to walk around the house in a trance not knowing what I am doing when I snap out of the trance, I have to always be moving or talking to keep my self from screaming out in irritation, i also have major anxiety because of my ADHD, I can't be calm and collected when things are hard, I just melt down and cry, scream, and I am overall nasty when I can't do something, and the worst thing is is that I can't control it. ( I continue this in my reply, I don't have enough space to write the rest)

      When my dyslexia and ADHD mix it usually happens when I am reading, if the audio book guy is not speaking while I am reading i instantly forget what I just read and I have to read it again over and over until I remember it. My dyslexia affects me by not allowing me to read in my head, I can't spell, ( I literally asked someone how to spell orange, hehe mean girls reference) I am awful at grammar, word get mixed around, this was and still is my life, but it's gotten better, I used to hate reading with a passion until I picked up the lightning thief by Rick Riordan, that book changed my life forever, I now read more, lastly I would like to say one thing, I would never change my life for all the money in the world, my life is special and I don't want it to me anything more or less, I have came to accept my disability and it is what makes me puppypaws2012 ( I am not allowed to say my real name 🤗) Thanks for reading my story 😝

    Omg Sasha I'm so so glad that you got to share your story with all of us! I've never been diagnosed before and I've always been afraid to tell my mom because she knows that she believes in me in accomplishing things and what not. But ive always been struggling with reading and writing and I also used to be a very good speaker but not until it came sophomore year of high school. Everything was different, I always started to stutter, afraid of making eye contact, etc. I struggled so so much and I felt so insecure about this and stupid because I always thought that I'm always the last one to get to things. I didn't know what was happening to me. Your youtube channel is the reason why I started to read and now im head over heels with them. I really used to hate reading but now I absolutely love them. I'm now a freshman in college just like you are and it's definetly something I need to work on. I do believe that I'm starting to improve on myself but what I'm not sure is if I should still go to the doctor and get tested... I'd really appreciate it if someone replied it'd help me a lot ☺ Thanks again for the amazing video Sasha ily ❤

I've improved more than I have with the help of special tutors :) I always say that by starting to read a lot it saved me in a way (education wise) thank you so much for opening up about your dyslexia! ❤️

    I'm proud to see someone who struggles through but comes out strong at the end. I actually have dysphasia wich is a learning dissability of speaking and understanding what other people are saying to you. I'm better today since a doctor and my mom tested me when i was 4 years old. I still have a little bit of struggles when it comes to learning, but i have higher marks today then when i was a kid. I'm actually happy for you working hard as a kid (even when you didn't). :)

    I am so glad you made this video. I am dyslexic too, and I was diagnosed when I was in 3rd grade. I was really lucky because my mom had dyslexia so she knew what the symptoms where, otherwise I would have been like you and my teachers would have just passed it on as something else (my 2nd grade teacher just thought I was a lazy student ). I really have my reading teachers to thank. I have to take a list of extra reading classes and each one of them always encouraged my to just read. It wasn't until I was in 8th grade when my teacher talked about Twilight that I willingly read a book on my own and enjoyed it. I'm proud that I am a reader and dyslexic, because it shows me what I have over come. Thank you for making this video I think it will help a lot of people not only understand dyslexia better, but show those who have this disability that they can do anything they want to.

It's really nice to see how well you've excepted your dyslexia and makes me feel like I need to try hard to except my own.

    I have ADD, and it went undiagnosed until i was in college. This really hindered my ability to do well in school, and I didn't really get into reading until high school. It's still hard for me to focus on one book for two long, but I really love reading so I've figured out ways that I can still do it.
    Great video!

    This is my favorite vid! I have two loved ones who have dyslexia. My dad never learned to read, but he was born in the days when the teachers did not understand this need. Growing up I had to read subtitles at movies or menus for him when I visited him. The other, pushed through and luckily was born in a state that had programs to help. He later became a strong reader. I love seeing the huge improvment in help, educators are having with those who struggle with dyslexia.
    Thank you so much for sharing :)
    My favorite pararomance author has shared her struggles with dyslexia openly to help teachers and educators when aiding a person struggling. She has such an amazing mind full of great characters and worlds. The world would be a lot less colorful if she had let dyslexia stop her from telling her stories.

I love words so much I'm doing a degree in English, something I thoughts I'd never be able to do.

I'm always ice cold, iron deficient, and have over all have a blood disorder that's so rare, it's called a heredity disorder but no one else in my family has it. My point is, by hearing your overcoming story and strong advice, I feel better knowing I can use your advice to help not only myself face problems but others who are struggling too.

    Thanks for sharing your story. It was brave. I have ADD. I was always daydreaming in class. My teachers thought I wasn't focusing, but I was just focusing on so many different ideas. It was hard. It still is sometimes. But that imagination has opened my mind in so many other ways and made me the arty person I am. I find walking in nature and reading helps to center me when my thoughts are all over the place.

    Sasha this was a great video :) I'm sure it is going to help a lot of people feel more confident with their dyslexia.
    I also have dyslexia and have been diagnosed since about the same time as you. When I was younger I struggled with getting my b's and d's mixed up but I finally got it :) I mostly struggle with phonological awareness which can make spelling and reading hard, especially when it's a word i've never seen before, but, on the other hand reading has actually helped with this as I've learnt a lot more words.
    It is great to see how you have over come and learnt to live with your dyslexia :) Thanks for making this video :)

When a friend told me about your RUclips channel and I found out that you also had dyslexia, it was great to know that someone else had also been through similar situations as me with books and reading! Even though I still have some weird spelling errors and hate reading aloud, knowing that you have done so well at something you should not be so comfortable with, I feel as though I can do the same :) Thank you for this video! x

    I have thought I was dyslexic for around 5 years. when I was in year 9 I talked with my school councillor about it and she put my theory down straight away because I liked to read. Yes I can read but I usually have to read each paragraph twice to understand it. Also, when we studied a play in class I loved volunteering to read because I can become that character for a little while but I always read the play several times the night before so I knew what was happening and so I didn't stop or stutter at any words.
    This video is a great encouragement for me. Thank you so so much :)
