We should stop allowing school to think for us and telling us what is right/normal. So many students with dyslexia are left without knowing what great gifts they have to deliver to this whole world. I wish that never punished me for being different. 😢 thanks for this video! It shows we have lots of potential :)
Your videos are something I've found recently. As a fellow dyslexic all my life I've felt dummer, slower and more stupid than others my age. I've rarely been allowed to see the benefits, especially as you said, the schooling system doesn't value anything other than language or mathematical skills. Finding that there's a channel purely about dyslexia and all those other disorders, coming from research and a representative is so uplifting. It makes me feel heard and to think that there actually are benefits, that can finally make me feel valuable, as a person and their mindset - like I can actually add something to the table rather than just be a burden - it's amazing. Thank you, I'm so glad to have found your channel!
Can you do a video on dyslexic note taking? Specifically for college? I’m an undiagnosed adult dyslexic (my son was tested and now my whole childhood makes sense 🤨) .I want to go to college with new skills.
Thank you for this. As a dyslexic tutor who supports degree apprentices, who often find out late in life they are dyslexic. These videos are being shared with them to help remove the shame that we endure through education as we are compared to nondivergent learners. It is so important that they recognise that they are intelligent and brilliant.
This was so HELPFUL to me. I will be sharing this with my family & friends along with another video. I can not remember the video of yours I just watched last night. THANK YOU so MUCH. I did leave you a comment on that video I can not remember.💃🏽 💖🌟💖
schools just don't know much about dyslexia...all the way to mental disabilities. This makes it really hard on the children. My grandson has been diagnosed with ADHA, Dyslexia, Post Traumatic Stress disorder, Bi-polar, and Autism. He is in the discover unit for the kids that have many problems. Each year they pass him after he went through two years of Kindergarten. He is 10 yrs old and thrown in the 4th grade...yet he can't read anything! In the beginning every day was a new day for him. If he learned to spell his first name...the next day all that knowledge was gone! He woke up with a blank mind! But I have been helping him on line learning technics and now he can write his first and last name, but that's it. I have enrolled him in Kuman reading program and I hope they can help him. Thanks for all your information on line. It has helped me with him so much...oh, by the way I am also dyslexia...runs in the family. Thanks so much , Ruby Jo from Texas
Memorization I would memorize everything, including what people say or don't say. This is why I did so well in complex cut overs in optical networks. It required the ability to visualize and memorize whole bunch of tedious little steps in order to accomplish a certain job.
Thank you for your work! Very informative as I'm working on innovative studying projects for entrepreneurs with dyslexia. Good luck with other projects =)
I am an undiagnosed adult dyslexic. After watching your videos I feel so validated in my educational struggles. I am 37 but if feels like a tension that has enveloped my life has been loosened. It doesn't change anything but it changes everything. Thank you. How do I seek a diagnosis, I also now think that my son may be dyslexic too.
Hi there Arya. I'm a fellow Dyslexic. Just like to say that I love this video you've presented. Extremely enlightening to me & very informative as well. Keep up the great work my good sir.😎👌
Hi, I am an adult dyslexic. I often feel that I have a lot more potential, but i cannot control or master them. Is there any research on this field where a dyslexic get to control and master the areas they are really good at.
As of now, I have not come across any research like that. But if I find something along those lines I will probably make a video out of it. :) In the mean time you could take a look at Positive psychology and Solution-focused brief therapy. It is not specific to dyslexia but these two Movements within psychology are focused on identifying Strengths as well as using tham.
Supposedly I was diagnosed with dyslexia as a kid because in a mental illness test, I couldn't write an essay on a specific topic because I disagreed with the points I was supposed to make and I didn't understand how to make a counter argument, so I left it blank, but when asked about it, I had a bunch of counter points.
Thank you for this. I’m turning 18 this week and I read my dyslexia report for the first time today (diagnosed when I was 12) it was only kept from me because its written in a way no one can understand other than teachers. It mentioned non verbal iq and a certain intelligence area was well below average and I didn’t understand what this meant, until I watched this video thanks so much
Also I describe my dyslexia and those who have it in general, that unless your Richard Branson or alert Einstein, its like our brains are an rubix cube, if you can match all sides of the cube you unlock your brains powers, and the struggle ends, unfortunately I've never been able to clock the rubix cube, magic mushrooms is a last resort, I here that when people take it your brain is rewired, your problem solving and calculation is not like before after just one treatment.
Great video - thanks much. I fully believe dyslexia is and has been my problem for life. At 77 not much need to test, just curiosity as to whether I'm officially dyslexic or not, but all your tests appear to explain why school and college was a put your head bown and just push as hard as you can to the end . ... Ps - I got one line further than you reading the sample.
Great video ! I’m dyslexic (self diagnosed) and I wrote down everything u said. After reading it a few times, I will have total recall of the info. Where can I get tested for Dyslexia?
Hey Gary, sorry for only answering to you comment now. I am glad you like the video though :) When it comes to a dyslexia diagnosis a licensed educational psychologist would be able to do that. I would simply google around to find someone near you ...
Intelligence come from within it could be somebody in your family that have some special intelligence your grandmother your auntie your cousins or whatever and y'all have some capability for yourself that's what tells us come in you know where you come from you know who you are you know what you going to stand on you know what breed with air that keep you pumping intelligence you not going to never let nobody take your intelligence and your baseline from you
Hello A-A I wonder if you know your IQ assessment number (realising it’s variable etc)? I have recently realised mine is more in the ‘gifted’ range and higher percentile than I thought it was and although it gives me a kind of warm glow at times as it’s something society praises I’m also having a kind of crisis of identity! It’s actually a bit stressful because I am realising how I have been misunderstood by others and misunderstood myself. So now I am exploring “2e” a bit. It all has a special sharp edge for me at the moment as I am doing some therapy for mental illness and my therapist has decided I’m overthinking things and that is my main problem whereas I see the thinking as something that has good and bad sides. She has actually said I might have to stop the therapy because I’m ‘being difficult’. She doesn’t like that I have a more complex understanding of what is going on for me than she does. My dyslexia is relevant because my IQ number (as tested 10+ yrs ago) might be actually “pulled down” by dyslexia - or rather as you said - some stuff enhanced and other stuff lower IQ-wise, and if you take that into account it explains more why my cognitive areas that are strong are actually quite weird and have a strong impact on my thought processes. I’m not genius level or anything and I also have tons of memory problems. Arrgh it’s so confusing! 😊 I can’t believe I’ve only just realised this about myself. 😮
I'm 41 I still have no idea what my talent is or what it is I love to do as a new Job I'm bad at useing a pc I do t remmber password or how to email is it true we have a bad memory aswell any tips please on how we can find our purpose and Talents please
Real talk buy me boring ways with dyslexia I got to work harder more than 10 times I have to work plus plus it can get overwhelming because you know we don't have nobody to help you it's hard
So you telling me because I don't have the intelligence that is not qualified for the job I'm not important all because I probably don't have the qualifications that you probably have that do not mean that I am not going to do a good job I have dyslexia
This is an interesting video: ruclips.net/video/XYPA6Zd8Zlc/видео.html I don’t believe everything it says but it’s something to think about in relation to understanding dyslexia, dyslexic strengths & creativity. I saw something strange that said that in USA they don’t test IQ when the assess dyslexia as three decided it is irrelevant, but that has become a problem for those pupils who are both dyslexic and intellectually in the “giftedness” range. [I don’t really like this use of the word ‘gifted’ as everyone is gifted in various ways but I’m going with the flow of common language usage atm]
Fatigue can do you in just because you're trying so hard to accomplish a certain task. There are some things you are not going to be good at. Neurotypical people prejudice views of people with learning disabilities, the most harmful of all shame. Shame is born in the light of ignorance. Then grows in the darkness.
We should stop allowing school to think for us and telling us what is right/normal. So many students with dyslexia are left without knowing what great gifts they have to deliver to this whole world. I wish that never punished me for being different. 😢 thanks for this video! It shows we have lots of potential :)
We definitely do! 😊
How about we stop allowing School?
I love the insight about measuring different types of intelligences- a big part of schools problems these days

Intelligence and dyslexia--What else would you put on my list?
Memorization I would memorize everything, including what people say or don't say. This is why I did so well in complex cut overs in optical networks. It required the ability to visualize and memorize whole bunch of tedious little steps in order to accomplish a certain job.

It’s so important to tell dyslexics they aren’t dumb because I’ve heard this sooo many times and it breaks my heart ♥️ 😢

I feel the same I do gardening but I feel I'm not good at it I feel I'm good with people so people say no idea what it is I'm good at hate it

Very glad to hear! :)

Curious about the other 6 types of intelligence haha 😊
I heard there are specific IQ dyslexia tests, for dyslexic people, if so where can I aquire them?
Intelligence come from within it could be somebody in your family that have some special intelligence your grandmother your auntie your cousins or whatever and y'all have some capability for yourself that's what tells us come in you know where you come from you know who you are you know what you going to stand on you know what breed with air that keep you pumping intelligence you not going to never let nobody take your intelligence and your baseline from you
It all applies to me 🥰

Most of us have a high IQ because of our reasoning capacity
🤨
@@ABa-ve3ul Our reasoning is our strength read dyslexic Advantage
@@dumisanimakhubu9768 I think it depends on individual. I know one in my family and he has neither reasoning capacity nor high IQ but exact opposite
So you telling me because I don't have the intelligence that is not qualified for the job I'm not important all because I probably don't have the qualifications that you probably have that do not mean that I am not going to do a good job I have dyslexia
Emotional intelligence doesn’t exist, what we view as emotional intelligence is really just a personality trait.
Bit lost in what your saying sorry any tips please
