- The majority of people see Dyslexia as a disadvantage in life, when in fact so many successful people have dyslexia. I'm going to explain why Dyslexia can be a huge real-world advantage and my experience living life as a dyslexic.

#Dyslexia #Explained #LearningDifficulty
I found out I had it at 54 when I wrote my first screenplay. Now 55. I have 16 screenplays, one tv pilot and working on a real life story. Don’t let anything or anyone stop you!
Really, I have many books in my decaying brain 🧠 🙃 😐 😑. Only one college professor told me that, I has a gift for writing life struggles. All the other educators focuses on my spelling.
👏🏾✨🤯
Wow I’m impressed!
Great to hear this. Im 50 so never got it picked up at school, I act, love my art and creative writing.... living with it has become a joy. Glad you have done so well :)
You are totally right I am studying philology and want to be a teacher but I have dyslexia it doesn’t mean I can’t achieve things
One of the worst things as a kid with dyslexia is being cold stupid by your peers and teachers
or your Mom calling you lazy your entire life. Found out at 35 that I had it. Told my Mom I was tested and yes i have it. her response "no you were just lazy". yeah if i was so lazy why did you pay for all the tutoring i had to have. lol
100% sure I make more money then them all now so who is the stupid one ?
those like fast mental maths questions you would have to do the answers to, when the teacher called them out used to make me freak haha. and then i would get them like all wrong and the teacher would be mad haha
Hahahahhaha i agreee with you 700%
My teacher used to make me stand and used to tell me to read the text book and those days were night mare for me when whole class can read n I can't n when they used to laugh at me... N that teacher never stopped every day used to tell me to read n she used to laugh too how cruel those people were n I was unaware of this condition... I suffered a lot in school those dark horrific days the shame I felt thinking I m below average
I can't read properly can't remember path ways and names I read d as b and many rhyming words I can't recognize.... I spell wrongly... N till 21 I was unaware that I have dyslexia tomorrow I realized the real name of my problem n I know no one will understand me
I absolutely hated school, i didn't understand why i had to be tortured like that. I did graduate and became self-employed. The best thing i feel helped me in life was Rush Limbaugh, the radio talk show. Guy. Up until then, i never knew someone could speak so well. His thought possess, articulation, the intelligence and humor, showed me so much more than any teacher could. It brought me out of my shell and gave me the confidence to deal with the world. It was so sad when he died. I know he touched others too and made them realize that they can become great too.
My dyslexic daughter is in grad school studying to be a physical therapist and I couldn’t be prouder of her. Great video!
AWSOME
I am sharing this amazing video with my son. He hates dyslexia and no matter what I say he thinks he's stupid. It is heartbreaking and I hope he will see it as an advantage as you do!
Aww I hope this helps Theresa, I'm not sure how old your son is but I'm sure one day he will see the benefits of it!!
Your son can do anything he will find his way
@@AndyMBurgess Not everyone has an opportunity to ever see benefits. The only one for myself as a mother is that I could see my own child struggling with it from an early age. Now, I have dementia and my brain is decaying in other ways. Getting help for her has been a huge struggle because I am decaying. I have a hard time focusing and following thru.
One skill set older students use is turning the light OFF the computer monitor while composing writing. The monitor can be a distraction. They can focus on the keyboard to write.
Then, when they have a rough draft, they turn the light on the monitor and clean up the formating and run the spell check and grammar check.
They claim this procrss works best for them. In colleges where there there are assistive technology labs for the disabled, they teach this method to each other.
As a Dyslexic reading the jumbled text was easy and to be honest less frustrating.
Can you explain?
I literally just cried for 45min watching this video. I feel like it finally all makes sense. Thank you so much for this video, I really did feel understood for the first time in my life.
Me to 😊
Aww.. 🤗🤗🤗
This was me last night 🥲
As did I
It gets better. The system wasn't really set up for us. I went to tech school in my late 30s. I went day and night. Got 3 technical degrees! I did so good, straight A's. I was always smart I just learned differently
It was really shocking for me to see so many successful people have dyslexia and was able to accomplish so much in life. Now to show my grandson who is 8 years old he’s not alone. Thank you.
I guess dyslexia seems like a blessing in disguise for you. Personally, you're the most versatile creative I have ever known. Your documentary on Singapore is the best documentary on my country I've seen so far (better than any mainstream big boys for sure). Perhaps it was your innate desire to be unique and original, and in some ways dyslexia made your creativity a notch higher. Very inspiring indeed. Thank you for sharing with us!
No. Not really
It’s not a blessing🤦🏻
Im from sg too, hi xD
@@ClipPixie @SwiftSpeedGaming 🅥 Being proud of what you are is a blessing.. over 6k subscribers learning from a person who experience dyslexia is not a blessing? We born with a different fingerprints, my fingerprint would never match with any human being for any decades! We are all blessed from being different ! Just like how the earth is different from the moon and how the moon is different from the sun.. each planet have a purpose and a beauty, just like us! Fact.. albert enistine experienced dyslexia 🙂
I agree.
Thank you for your video. ❤ I am the wife to a dyslexic and mom of 2 dyslexic children. My husband and I searched and searched for help to understand why our bright son struggled so much in school. After years of going from one specialist to another and doing everything they recommended, we finally got him correctly diagnosed. Sadly, getting him the right help was just as difficult, so I became his tutor. Now, I tutor children all over (here in the United States) to help them become better readers but most importantly, I try to rebuild their self-confidence. It is my mission to teach people what dyslexia really is as opposed to what it is NOT. Like you did in your video. I tell my students that dyslexia is a SUPERPOWER. Because I can teach them how to read, write, and spell better, but no one can teach my brain to do what a dyslexic brain can do. Bravo to you.🎉 I will be sending each of them your video.❤
Love when I see others talk and explain their personal experiences. I always tell ppl, you know your Dyslexic when you can’t even pronounce your own condition, the struggles are real but ultimately I rather be survival smart than academically trained 🥰💪🏼😆🤷🏻♀️
I only learnt to spell Dyslexia from making this video and writing it so many times in my script 🤣
Thank you for this video! I was diagnosed with Dyslexia when I was six or seven years old. Growing up, I thought I was the only one like this. I was often made fun of in school for reading slow and making “silly” spelling mistakes. I was bullied for taking so long on tests. And some teachers would make fun of me or yell at me for reading slow. When I was in my early twenties, my dad finally told me that he was diagnosed with Dyslexia at six years old. He had the same experiences I did, and he was embarrassed and ashamed. I know Dyslexia is different for everyone, but my dad and I are almost exactly the same. It’s a huge relief to know someone else with Dyslexia. My dad and I talk about it now, and I’ll share any new information about it that I find. I think he’s more comfortable with it now. I’ll be showing him this video!
Man this is a really inspiring video. I really struggle with reading and writing and punctuation. I was a college athlete, my parents spent a lot of money on me going to special tutors. And that was basically just because of sports they wanted me to get good grades so that I could compete. Life is extremely hard as a dyslexic and I know I do not do the most admirable job. I am a concrete project manager and i deal with very complex plans. I am the first person to say there are a lot of people that work for me that are probably smarter than me. I only say that because I know just speaking to them and catching on to how they are as individuals they are intelligent. Not that I think construction workers are dumb by any means but we don't do your typical construction work. we are do large commercial jobs and super custom houses. I once had a kid that started working for us and he had a scholarship to Stanford University and he just wanted to work for the summer before He left. He was a very intelligent kid the problem is building is very difficult if you are not a three-dimensional thinker. Anyways sometimes I feel like I am too stupid to do what I do but at the same time I cannot explain how what I do i's so easy for me and so difficult for other people. In my line of work it is about solving problems. And I have learned that there are no problems just Solutions. Anyways I just find this video interesting and wanted to tell my story.
Thank you for sharing your Amzaing storie ☺️🍀
Thanks for sharing I thought I was alone on this feeling. Wow I have felt the same way in situations, however when I overcome things that are so complicated in the life of normal people and education people they are astonish by my results. I am a job hopper, I get stress really easily with jobs, because there is always one way to solve a problem. I quickly out grow my environment.
You’ve nailed it spot on on the daily struggles 😅
100%
Being dyslexic I can honestly say if there was ever a scenario of being stuck somewhere, be it desert island or car broke down in the middle of nowhere I'd rather be stuck with my fellow dyslexic people. Why? Because we can see everything in many different ways. We have had to find our own individual way and processes of learning than seem backwards to everyone else. Might take us longer to figure it out. But this is where we excel, because we adapt our brain to find a way that works. Bit like being stuck in the rain, but all those rain drops are tiny ideas that eventually come out with a sunshine solution.
very well said.
This is exactly correct. I totally agree as this is me.
The struggle is real as a fellow dyslexic. Thanks for creating a channel for people like you and myself and others. Well done!!
carry-on.
Omg this is so me! I went back to university to proof that I was NOT stupid. At age 38 only to found I'm a dyslexia! Damn..... it answer all my struggle .... thanks for the video.
.. it is so related
How did you get on in college
I found out today about dyslexia and my 30 yr of daily struggle suddenly makes sense because I have it. Your video has been the first one I have seen where someone like me is talking about their experience. So I just want to thank you for making it. Really putting that much effort and making such an awesome video! Thanks 😊🌟
Also, forgot to mention, I'm a successful software developer today (coding for 15yr). I guess the ability to see the big picture helped me excel at my job.
Thank you for sharing ☺️
I am now 50 and found out from my teacher whilst learning a new language that I am dyslexic to be honest I thought it was myself and my learning abilities! My brother has problems with writing and learning. I am super creative I can pick up instruments and I take to them like it was a part of me! I love drawing and being creative it’s the only things I am good at and I feel at peace! I always been challenged in life when people ask me what do you call this thing in English and I don’t know it really makes me feel I am been put in a corner and I get so frustrated! Nice video and I too played drums when I was in my 20’s it was something I just picked up without any problems and I was in a band! All the best with your vlogs!
Been waiting for this one! Nice one mate. Can’t be easy making something so personal!
Thanks Tom, glad I could share it for sure!
This is so relatable! I found I have dyslexia in high school, and view it as my superpower. I graduated high school with the top English mark in my grade, and now have a Psychology degree. For a course that was in the Psych degree program, that was about the brain, I gave a presentation about Dyslexia. Keep creating! This was fabulous! My favourite fellow dyslexic person is Stephen Spielberg, because I enjoy his storytelling.
My child was officially diagnosed today. I’m trying to learn everything I can about dyslexia. Thank you so much for your video. It’s one I can show them to help them better understand their brain AND be encouraged.
Do me a favor and just don’t give up on them.
Andy this is a great video. I have perceptual dyslexia and I do write letters backwards but that is the least of the problem. I didn't get diagnosed until age 35 years after graduating high school and failing out of Art school because the academics were too hard (1976). Later after technology had advanced and I got a computer and could cut and paste did my writing improve. Being diagnosed changed my whole self concept. I was no longer a drunken burnout. (Oh, yeah I got sober too) Being an undiagnosed dyslexic pushed me in the direction of addiction. Back to school, MSW, LCSW drug counselor, retired. Moved to Japan learning Japanese. It's a struggle but I know what I'm up against. Thanks for making this video I feel validated (see therapist words).
I am also dyslexic and I know 4 languages Chinese intermittent, Japanese elementary, English and Polish both native.
wow that is awesome. i'm lucky i can speak English properly. i took Spanish 1 in high school twice. made a D the first time and even though I retook it I could only get it up to a B-. lol
@@sgumper4375 How did you learn those languages?
@@RandomSkyeRoses I think you meant to @Rafal Burdzy he is the one that learned 4 languages. I pretty much failed Spanish. lol
Thank you for highlighting the Creative Brilliance of the Dyslexic brain wiring in your video!! 🙌🏼My 9 year son who has severe Dyslexia & Dysgraphia, appreciated this positive message.👏🏼 He is already animating, making art that adults want to buy & loves all things engineering & science. 🥰
This is amazing fair play to your son ☺️
Good for you making this video, as a child of the 70’s my parents were told by my teachers I won’t amount to anything as I was stupid, reality was I was dyslexic, my son is 11 and going through the same, 50 years later, sadly things haven’t changed with our education system, hopefully when my son has children things may start to change, keep making videos
Glad I found your video! I've known I had a "problem" since grade school. I had difficult reading and spelling among other things. I have always loved the Arts, drawing, acting, writing poetry, short stories, etc. As an adult I took a several online test for dyslexia and I was "positive" for everyone of them. Now at 50 I am wanting to get my Master's in MFT, I have decided to finally get formal testing done. Your video was inspiring. I also am looking into finding ways to work with Dyslexic children. I also still love the Arts! Thanks again for the video!
Andy, great insight. I am 75, struggle throughout school. Back there, there did not recognize it. The inability to read, read aloud, spell was a badge of shame. I have never worded through that pain. But I was creatively, l became a technology teacher with a master's degree, a videographer and have a business that helps family's to tell their life stories digitally, Memory Catcher LLC. I still have huge amount of creative energy. I applaud what you are doing. Conway
I was diagnosed in college with dyslexia and ADHD. Got a lot help. Someone else wrote down what I wanted to say but I spoke what I wanted to say for test. And extra time with test in college. Apple products in speech dictation really helps. My problem is writing down what happens in a clear way ,reading it’s OK
Same here 🤗
Thank you for your encouraging video. I figured this out as a junior in engineering school, 50 years ago. The negative feelings of undiagnosed zDyslexia has stayed with me, to this day. Even after a successful professional career. One thing I did find out, when taking Thermodynamics, everybody reads slow, so since I could do the math, I could keep up and even excel. Never give up. We just think differently. We’re the only ones in our right minds. Again, thanks for addressing the subject, visually.
I know this video is older but as a mom trying to figure out how to help her child. Thank you! I appreciate your hard work and the way you explained everything
I found out I was dyslexic in 1st grade when I was held back and had to repeat 1st grade. It destroyed myself confidence and I felt stupid my entire schooling. I’m 42 now and I’ve learned to except being dyslexic. I hope I can learn some advantages. Thank you 💜💜
How does someone with dyslexia.get through school and get accepted into uni.
I feel bad for you arcs diagnosed when I was only 6 years old now Ima11 and to be honest I’m horrible at myself I can’t read and I’ve barely got help from my school and I think the resources are using on us is hoping it’s not
Thanks Andy, Our daughter has Dyslexia so content such as yours is a huge help in our understanding of the challenges she is facing. Love your work!
So true ☺️
✨🙏🏾✨
Aged 51, I discovered I am dyslexic two weeks ago. While initially a little bit of a shock, it’s made sense of some things in my life that went off how they did. I guess the main thing is that I know now, so I can start to put plans and strategies in place to better my lot. Thanks for a great video, good luck with your future endeavours!
How did you find out ? At a specialist?
Great video, I too have dyslexia which was hell for me growing up in the 80’s - glad their is so much awareness on this condition now and that the general public gets to understand our strengths.
100% with technology it's a lot easier now
Yes, but getting the help is still very frustrating, I have a child who has been struggling since they started school. Still not getting the help need. They are in the 7th grade. Before because they were failing now because they are succeeding in their reading. They take 4 time longer to complete HW, just as I did.
@@crybebebunny Don't worry about school, we learn in our way once we fond something we are interested in. Whe we are asked to read books or spell words that we have no interest in it will take a lot longer.
Thank you for this video. I literally just broke down feeling helpless because I officially discovered that I am dyslexia at age 30 writing my content script for my youtube channel. Attempting to write down Next Clip on paper, I wrote Nect Cil... I broke down crying after researching the symptoms of dyslexia in adults. I had an idea that I was dyslexia, but never was tested. This video has just shown me that I should embrace my dyslexia because I am very intelligent and very talented and creative in visuals and that makes me happy and proud of the gifts that God has blessed me with. Being dyslexia does not stop me nor does it stop my light within me. Thank you again I accept my dyslexia because it really does make me Unique!
Subscribed, excited to see the videos you put out.
That is exactly how my dyslexia works. I skip letters and put letter that come later to soon. I also have a hard time with q & g also 89 & 98
Thank you for sharing this, I hope my daughter is able to find something she enjoys as much as you enjoy your work.
I hope so too! Thank you for watching!
This is an excellent example of how to deal with dyslexia and use it to an advantage!
I'm glad you think so Sheila!
I was really excited to share this with my 11 year old son I worked out he was dyslexic during lockdown, he is suffering with Emotional based school anxiety he's had very little support during primary school 😪😪 thankyou for sharing 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Oh mate, classic!.. I was diagnosed with Dyslexia and ADD as a child.. so really respect you putting this out there.
Seriously the best editing i ever seen man you’re really creative ✨
My 11 year old was recently diagnosed. This is filled with great insight. Thank you.
One of my favourite videos you’ve created bud! Learnt so much and it was incredibly well told!
Dude thank you, means a lot coming from yourself! Glad you enjoyed it!
at 50, my scols never picked up anything. Easily distracted was a common phrase on my reports and was deemed stupid or a pest. My art and stories showed otherwise though and being an actor now, I really have used this to help in different ways. Great video fella!
I just watched this with my great niece who has just been diagnosed and she was like 'yeah' and it has helped so much in making me understand it more, so ty once again x
Highly under rated amazing camera work very good work man keep it up
One of the most relatable videos about dyslexia I've seen. This will be motivating for many of my students. Thanks.
This is one of the best videos of ever seen on the topic of dyslexia. Your fellow dyslexic.
really clear and organized, I will show it to my kid who needs to know it.
Thank you so much for this, you explain things so well. As a dyslexic only diagnosis in at the age of 46, it's amazing learning more about this. I too see it as a real advantage now and wouldn't be any other way, life is so much more interesting and beautiful. I always knew something was different about me throughout my life, extremely creative and always thinking up amazing ideas. It really is a very special gift. Looking forward to catching up on your previous videos.
Love reading your storie thank you for sharing ☺️
I remember writing my dissertation for uni (a place that no one expected me to go to, they were surprised enough that I finished high school) getting the damned thing started was torture. After I got the words out of my head for the first paragraph it was more or less plain sailing.
To get that first paragraph I went for a walk and got an ice cream. I completely feel what you were saying about starting your scripts
Dyslexia is like going to a different country every day of the year. And just never knowing anything at all when it comes to languages. Very frustrating and it is extremely sad to think that the person is never going to achieve this full potential.
It is really really hard to live in the world that relies totally on language when you do not have that
It is extremely frustrating every day of the year and when you get to my age, you look back on your life and just realise it is just been frustrating every day that you live. I was diagnosed at a very young age only in my teens and after I left school and they said that I had extreme dyslexia audio dyslexia.
Being that I'm going to be starting a self-teaching channel soon, this video has really helped me. It's inspiring to know and see that it's doable. I might go forward now to get a diagnosis actually just so that i can officially be able to say so and share my own video like this to help others when i start my channel. (whenever i do i'll be sure to come back and link it as you inspired me.)
This video makes sense to me. I'm 60 years old. I struggled reading, writing and spelling. I am a martial arts master in Filipino martial arts. I found out that I have a gift with movement of the art!!! People ask me how I come up with so many complex moves. It just seems natural to me. I literally have to dumb it down for my students.
I love how you own it. Very pleased with how you articulate everything. Just found out today that I have dyslexia. Got into an argument with my boyfriend. He was complaining about pronunciation. After the call, I searched for different types of speech disorders. I'm glad I found this video. THANK YOU ANDY😜
Omg I feel like I could cry (in a happy way)I'm 48 years old and I've been trying to explain to my husband and friend how my little bubble works for years to understand me and you have just done it in 10mins I can't thank you enough. ❤️
I’m a teacher and work with children who struggle with maths. I’d say most of them are dyslexic and it’s that which is causing their maths issues. It’s a privilege to be able to help my pupils and see their progress and delight when they realise they can do maths - they just need the right methods for them. I think what they learn in resilience and determination will see them succeed in life. It’s a shame dyslexia is so misunderstood in schools still but hopefully videos like yours will help with that.
I really relate to this, I was diagnosed in early 2017 when i was 12 . I’m currently in college in the UK about to go to uni, my current course grades on how good my problem solving is. Being dyslexic it’s very good because I’ve had to do it my entire life. I solve problems constantly everyday and usually do it in different ways to other people. However I usually don’t notice I’m doing it and find it very hard to put into writing, or document it so I don’t get the grade for it. My course is meant to be very practical but it’s almost completely writing so I do well at practical but I suck at writing about it which is where the grade is
Thank you for sharing you Amzaing journey you are doing great 😃
ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! I am so happy that you are making this content available to your generation. With the forewarning of family history, I made it through school in the 1980's. I knew I HATED school but I didn't know why, aside from the fact that I couldn't spell. I was frickn smart though! Valedictorian, Deans List etc etc. I used a Franklin Spelling Ace, one word at a time, to write everything. I became a teacher to make school better for other kids like me and I raised my also-dyslexic children into happy, supremely successful adults. Win, Win, Win
BUT: I BURNED OUT hard and nearly died at age 52 from constantly masking/pushing/ignoring the parts of dyslexia I didn't understand. It has taken 3 years to recover, but I see a new dawn!
That's crazy, I found out that I am dyslexic just few minutes ago. One person mentioned that he has dyslexia and had some trouble reading fast. And then searched about it and found lots of information and your video. I am engineer and I almost 40 now. It's awesome to know that I am not alone.
I don't have dyslexia but I am writing an essay and wanted to understand from the perspective of a person who has this condition. You have provided some really good insight. Thank you.
My teachers often think I am taking advantage of my IEP because I happen to be smart but than one of them sat in on a meeting as they were going over my reavaluation and she realized that it was a real thing and apologized to my parents
Struggled with Dyslexia (had to check my spelling on that word - lol) in grade school when not much was known about it. All they did was put me in the "slow-readers" group. Which was a huge blow to my esteem. It was not until college (or trade school because I did not have the confidence to go to college) that I really started to figure out HOW I learned. There I excelled. I scored the highest on their prerequisite tests when it came to 2D to 3D special recognition. Since I work in the Civil Engineering field, this has its advantages.
I now have 3 dyslexic kids, who are home schooled with special curriculum made for dyslexics and how they learn. Wish that was available when I was a kid. They are EXCELLING!
Thanks for posting this!!
I was diagnosed in Kindergarten and spent 1-6th grade in a special school learning, how to learn. Math and spelling, for me, are so difficult-but the arts-I flourish.
I'm writing a story with a character on the main group who has dyslexia, so thank you for this video because I think this will really help.
Thank You for posting this. I am Dyslexic and I don't have the ability to describe what it is like as you do.
I have dyslexia and they say a have adhd but I don't think I have adhd the more I learn about dyslexia.
I love the way you made this video, real easy to concentrate on🥰
ADHD and Dyslexia are super close
Thank you for your video it really hit home for me. I am a 55 year old and not medically diagnose dyslexic who was unsuccessful. Becoming a veterinary nurse. whose new boss was upset when I disclose that I had dyslexia. My new passion is to challenge TAFE and educational system not to let others go through this suffering I had. I am determined and passionate to get my certificate 4 in veterinary nursing with help and support from teachers and educational system.

Oh my word! This was just wonderful! And so accurate!
Thank you so much!
i love this video, i'm a new supporter, thank you so much. this is really wonderful
Thank you so much and welcome to the channel!
You are an angel. Same my son his 15yrs and still having trouble to readings and memorizing . But thanks God he has improvement.😃
The word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Have your son meditate on the word of god 🙏 🙌
Your son will be Amzaing
Very positive video Andy!
thank you for this. This is so accurate. I'm in graduate school and learning to navigate it with dyslexia has been a challenge for sure.
Thank you this is a really useful description.
As a young'un the teacher's thought I was thick and I believed it, due to the bad grades and the slow academic comprehension, apart from sports, art and drama (practical/visual skills).
One thing I've learned and would love another dyslexic person to know is...dyslexic people make good engineers due to "Visual conceptual skills".
Just focus on mathematics, this was my weak point which needed strengthening.
Following the engineering path has erased any insecure feeling of not feeling worthy or smart in me.
Love reading your storie ☺️🍀
Great tutorial!!!! Very informative!!! And educational!!!!👌
Thank you so much for describing dyslexia correctly, I am trying to understand my dyslexia and i am tired of only finding videos for parents of dyslexic kids or talking at us instead of too us.
100% right 👍 you should also make a video
🙂Please have your friends and family watch
the RUclips Video
“How Difficult Can This Be? the FAT city video “
posted by Dr. Cavitt ….
It’s a fun workshop that they will love;
to show those
who don’t have dyslexia
what it’s like
to be in your shoes…After seeing it
and trying to do
the fun little things
he has them to do…they will have
a much better understanding
of what you went thru
or
are now going thru
at school
home
or work etc😔🙂
May God Bless you in all you do 🙂🙏🙏🙏
Hearing stories, difficulties and successes from other dyslexic people helps me understand myself better and makes life better
Thank you for this video you definitely inspired my 11 year old son. Keep up the amazing work 🎉
Diagnosed in 1982 and put in remedial. Education has come a long ways.
Hello from the USA! Great video. I now would say: "I am a Dyslexic Person*", rather than "I have Dyslexia", Autism, etc. Because they are ways of existing rather than diseases we "have", and we can reshape that idea in the minds of others as well as our own. (Speaking of Reshaping, Picasso was dyslexic! and that's a perfect example of the visual / spatial thinking advantages it can have.) *It also reminds them of our personhood! regardless of differences they may perceive in us.
Thank you so much for making this great video!
I was never diagnosed with Dyslexia but TOtally also am Dyslexic. Thank you for helping teach about our awesome Gift!
What tip of dyslexia do you have ?
Thanks for sharing this amazing video I have dyslexia myself I discovered it about maybe five years ago because my mom says I have a slow learning disorder but I didn’t think she explained it properly I wanted to find exactly what it was and sure enough it was dyslexia
There is a few tips of dyslexia please let me know what dyslexia you have 🤗🍀
Very nice video, thank you!
Excellent! Thank you.
Thank you for this!
As a dyslexic kid always crying with an anxiety in school. I’m finally going back to finish College. Wish me luck you guys.
I'm dyslexic myself and there are facts i didn't even know of, thanks man
Thanks Jack, glad you found it insightful!
I sometimes get looks when the teacher gives me extra time on assignments and tells me I can write three paragraphs is stead of five and it really just shows how people just don’t get it
I find it helpful to Talk and text when I have to do a lot of writing. And cross lateral exercises before anything academic. It really helps both sides of your brain to work at the same time.❤
I had a terrible time learning math in school. I tried so hard. I just couldn’t get it. I would reverse the numbers or it seemed the numbers would just fall out of my head. In the third grade my teacher actually had my classmates laughing at me because I didn’t get it. I also had trouble with directions. Up, down, right, left. Since I’m either handed it seemed to make it harder sometimes. When I was high school my math teacher told my parents he thought I had a form of dyslexia. I now know I have Dyscalculia. I can do simple math. About 3 - 4 grade level. After that. I’m a nervous wreck. I’m happy to know what it is that causes me problems. I’m happy to know I’m not just stupid. Like that terrible teacher said. Good luck to all who suffer Dyslexia or Dyscalculia. ❤❤
Thank you for sharing your story
Thank you, Cousin thank you sharing this I understand more so much more
By a round about adventure in my first 3 decades, I ended up as a drafter/designer.
I was surprised how many other drafter/designers were dyslexic, too.
I didn't know I was dyslexic until I watched a RUclips video and found out I am exactly like the person she was diagnosed with dyslexia. I was sixty-four years old and realized that I had been dyslexic for all these years. I always claim that I was lazy and not performing well in school, and yet I was a computer programmer for 34 years. Writing a specification to solve a programming problem always took much longer than finding a solution for it.
Nice video, short and explained so well, Bravo! I would love to find those books in French as dyslexia is still seen as a disadvantage in France.... and the look on people's faces when you told them you are dyslexic..... but work in progress, I can see the difference with 20 years ago, things are changing slowly but surely as we say in French.
Very useful. Thank you
Thank you for this information I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders
Thanks for clearly defining dyslexia. I’m 47 and I am very creative but I’ve struggled with spelling and invert numbers and words. But I love the scenic route it’s freedom
Well done!! Spot on!!
100%
All dyslexics have a superpower. Mine is that I am non-handed. Which makes switching which hand I use to perform tasks fairly easy. But at the same time, I'm horrible with directions and have trouble with maps unless I orient them in the direction of my travel. I guess that's the kryptonite.
