- Опубликовано: 17 май 2024
- It is estimated that dyslexia affects up to 1 in 5 people. Dyslexia comes in many forms.And each person experiences it a little differently. They struggle in different ways. Rather than pigeonholing dyslexics into a one size fits all box it's much better to understand all of the possible reasons for this reading difficulty and all of the other symptoms of dyslexia.

Dyslexia comes in degrees. It exists along a spectrum. Usually defined as mild, severe, or profound dyslexia. This is determined by the number of symptoms expressed. Not all dyslexics reverse letters and words. Most don't actually. Most commonly it is difficult in processing language but other underlying reasons can cause it. It is not a lack of intelligence. Dyslexics can be intellectually gifted. It is a specific learning disability that affects reading. This can be a difficulty in sounding out words (decoding) or it can be a difficulty in comprehension. It can also affect spelling, writing, and even speaking. Over 62% of dyslexics also have other specific learning difficulties. Commonly dyscalculia, dysgraphia, or ADHD. Most will have some sort of anxiety because of it.
This simple-to-understand video is a part of our effort to make understanding dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, and other forms of neurodiversity that cause learning difficulties easier to understand for parents. That helps more children get more help when they need it. Instead of later in life when it is far more difficult.
In this video you will learn about each type of dyslexia. This ensures that you don't get stuck in a treatment option that only works for some.

DYSLEXICS UNTIE!
Yes yes
Yes
I have it
... I literally read this exactly how you wanted me too... damn it lmao
@@chancelymallion Same
When I met my husband he had never been diagnosed, but I could tell he was dyslexic. He got diagnosed, got tutoring and learned how to read...in his thirties. He grew up in rural Alabama, and regularly got beat for not learning, not getting good grades. No one could know what he endured...he went on to get a good job, and gained so much confidence. I feel for anyone who struggles with this. God bless you 🌹
I have a male relative that went through that as well, it was very hard on him. School never listened do the parent, what you needed special help. He patiently talked and we thought himself ways to understand and read throughout his twenties and thirties.
You are a good person and I bet a terrific Wife! You personify love. 💖💐
@@darlamartin8486 thank you! Love really does conquer all things...😏🌹
I ended up on this video too since my fiance was diagnosed with dyslexia as a kid. I honestly didn't know there were more types, so now I'm even pondering if I might be dyslexic myself. 😅 I think he is only aware of the 2nd type mentioned, but I think he also shows some of the 1st type. Good to know!
That's very sad what your husband went through. I am glad to hear he has found success. I have a daughter who is very dyslexic. I couldn't imagine beating her for it. Or beating my kids' period, but that's just me.
When I went to school dyslexia was not a thing, you were either stubborn, stupid or lazy. The frustration I felt was intense. What really helped me were comic books because the text was bound in small speech bubbles and didn't move around so much. There were also contextual clues in the art panels that helped ground the text. Math remained a huge problem though. Only the "=" sign was my friend as everything else could change. I found personal coping mechanisms but if I'm tired or stressed things can still be unpleasant.
Yes, unfortunately that was the norm back then. So many adults experienced this as children
I know the feeling , but worse was having a parent and an older sister that kept daily calling names as how stupid , dumb or crazy, you were to not know how to tell time. It was expected to be automatic , I learned to tell time by the direction of the sun, and how the shadows were. But to look at a clock I could not . My mother was too embarrassed to send to to kindergarden, and first grade I failed. MY fault and we ended up in a housing Project. I was always getting beat up. My lunch stolen , kids in class thinking I was so dumb. But I learned tricks ,and yes I made words into symboles that I knew, and cheated on some tests in school at a very young age.
Teaching disabilities.
Back then I Was always told I was mentally retarted. I believed it up into my early 20s. It changed my life for the better when I realized it wasn’t true
I read comic books too. I liked them. and the words, or the lettering was thicker, to help see the Whole word. I am 75 now, and it has been a hell of a life. People thinking you as being dumb. or weird in some of the things we learned to simplify doing things, or being accused of something because we seem to be without a lot of friends, or quiet type, was hard for me. Math still to this day jumble in my mind, I have learned in the last 3-4 years Vitamins B's B1 B6, B12 very important, tingling in hands and feet gone less leg cramps. Feel more awake, able to concentrate longer., K2+D3 very important, Magnesium and Potassium . may add Zink too . I am not religious about it . But if Vegetables are not as often in my diet. I will take the Vitamins. Vitamin A, helped my eyesight. and to see better at night. Letter on a page or typing this , does not jump around. . YES, it is hard, I paint. in a realistic style, that is NOT Accepted in Art Gallery's Unless dead or in the Process, like wolves taking down an Elk or bear.. I can not say any of my work , will every make it in a book. Hear it takes 10 years to get published.. and the way all over the world , and so many rising , problems, that affect our way of living, and then the possible gloom of War, or NATURAL Disaster more so than ever. YELLOWSTONE, and when you think of the TUNNEL in Switzerland all the way to France to try and discover how Earth was Created. oh my that is Massive and Frightening at the same time.. So I plug on, with time I have on Earth. And maybe lack of Friends is not so bad, as long as there are everyday strangers . TAKE CARE, The Vitamins also helped to make me feel not very OLD at all.. Of course I do not smoke or Drink daily, Not too big of junk food eater, but nor am i a great Veggie eater either.
Please include a video on dyscalculia! I was diagnosed with dyslexia as a child, and with help adapted to it. But, no one ever brought up dyscalculia and the fact that it can impact numbers and mental math, I thought I was just bad at math!
Sure thing ruclips.net/video/HZbARXlDON4/видео.html
I have both and math is especially hard. I will tell my prof, first thing that. Met with blank stares and the ONLY advice I've ever been given was, 'just pay more attention'. Yeah, thanks. Why didn't I think of that
I wonder if that’s what I have. I only mix up numbers. Can see them in a different order. Had trouble with math. (My ex used to say I was good at math & bad at arithmetic.) Also when I was diagnosed with ADHD I was told I had a math learning disability.
Same! I'm really good with math when it's told to me. I love word problems and everything. But whenever I look at the board at school or read on paper, my x and y's suddenly turn to + and v's. My teachers always asked me where I got something like x^0+l when what's written is y^8+1. Literally messed with my brain for the majority of my life. Not to mention my multiplication, fractions, and exponents are waaayyyy off.
I have dyscalculia too but back in school in the late 1950's /1960's it was not known / recognised. Result. My Maths teacher hated me and I definitely hated her. No help if any kind was ever offered. So. In the 4th year, when I was 14, I did _NO_ Maths Classwork And _NO_ Maths Homework. I was the definitive pain in the Arse pupil - and I did _NOT_ care a single jot !! Lol. I look back in that year with a certain amount of _pride_ as I never gave in to her angry stares !!!
I was more of a slow learner. When I was younger it was a struggle to keep pace with the rest of the students in my class. I remember once in Biology class kids use to make fun of me for my bad test scores calling me stupid. The teacher would post the test results of each student on a board every week. I hated going to that class knowing the humilitation that would follow. However, that all changed when this teacher realized my learning disability was due to poor auditory comprehension. She found that I have stronger visual learning that could be used to my advantage. She would tutor me using various objects to describe the characteristics of each subject and I would recall them much easier. So when the next test results were posted some of the students were shocked to see that I had the 2nd highest test score in the entire class. One student asked how did I got such a high score. I simply told him it was luck and smiled. Keep them guessing.
There are some amazing teachers out there. They can really change a persons life. So lucky for you you got one that could see beyond the learning difference. Congrats!
Same I went form 30% to 89% all because one teacher took time out of her day to sit and teach me.
I love this awesome 👏
Dyslexia explained a little better then other expressions of dyslexia.i have read
It would seem that teaching disabilities are more at fault than learning disabilities.
I struggled so badly in school due to my numbers dyslexia. It was a total unknown in the 80s. I did beautifully in languages, history and literature.....but math, total fail. I told my teacher that numbers flipped and floated in my head. She thought I was just making excuses. Wanted to be a vet but math grades ruined my GPA. So glad that kids today can be helped.
Yes it is so unfortunate it was not recognized back then. With numbers it is called dyscalculia. Check our video on "what is dyscalculia"
I am with you. I hate numbers. There's just way to many of them.
It was NOT totally unknown in the 80s, anyone who says it was is either ignorant or lying to you.
@@Learning_Success Dyscalculia is not dyslexia with numbers, thats akin to saying dyslexia is a 'problem with the alphabet'.
I could have written this comment ❤
If you have dyslexia, audio books come in clutch
100% audio helps big time
Not if it is the auditory dyslexia
Not for me, its just distracting.
They can, but there's also other things like the opendyslexic font.
@@SmallSpoonBrigade I find the opendyslexic font difficult to scan at speed, Verdana font is one of my faves.
I love how all the different names for dyslexia are all rather difficult to spell.
On a related note: I feel like *proprioception* probably needed a definition screen when it was mentioned.
A lot of the words used to explain dyslexia needed more definition/ explanation
😂 dyslexic here. This cracks me up. Try this word out: Hippopotomonstroses-quippedaliophobia
It is the fear of long words! I had a student with it. We laughed so hard when we found this. 😂😂
I apparently have high-level dyslexia - as part of my ADHD diagnosis - and I can (rather ridiculously) type this from memory:
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis 😁 @@triciarindahl3927
As a special ed teacher, I frequently had to explain to parents that "dyslexia" is an umbrella term that includes a variety of disabilities and problems. Reading and writing our verbal symbols requires a whole series of skills and abilities, and any one or any combination of them may need to be developed or compensated for.
I am a special Ed teacher. I have dyslexia. I haven't looked at the description of this video yet. Is what this woman saying based on Research? Have you ever given the iReady dyslexia screener? I have to give it for the first time tomorrow. I am more than a little offended that this woman is referring to me and my students as "dyslexics". I and my students are people not a label. If This Woman's businesses is based on special education she should know that.
"had to explain", past tense?
@@bikerfirefarter7280 I'm very much retired!
@@Bobrogers99
Ok. I get you.
Many of the so-called 'disabilities and problems' are the result of the inflexible linear thinking (and I use the word 'thinking' loosely) of joe-public who award themselves ability and adequacy beyond their reality.
Peace.
And to make matters worse, in addition to dyslexia, there's also sensory processing disorder which is completely separate from this. I used to think that I'm dyslexic, but it turns out that it was a sensory processing issue as in I'd be reading some words with my left eye and other words with my right and integrating them into gibberish sentences. Sometimes entire portions of the page would just not render and I'd be left with a partially blank page where there should be words.
It looks like dyslexia, but it's a different issue, although, some of this stuff would help.
I got diagnosed with dyslexia at 5 & received a lot of support as a kid that really helped, but that support totally evaporated when I hit university, and it made it incredibly difficult. There’s no support at all for dyslexic adults and it’s a real problem
i can understand though. Support costs money. University is a business selling business marketable skills.
@@oceanbytez847 it’s a university’s responsibility to accommodate disabled students. All businesses should accommodate the disabled or they don’t deserve to stay open. In many cases they are shirking their legal responsibilities when they fail to do so.
I think it's because by then they think you know how you learn and you should be ok or that if you have a learning disability then you won't seek higher education. I had to remind my college that I was allowed to ask questions and get more time on tests. One of the teachers didn't clarify a question for me and I failed the test. It was a challenge test since I already knew how to use a specific computer program that was a required course, the test giver wasn't the teacher for the course so first day of class I spoke to her and she told me why I failed and I told her what happened. The instructions didn't say to run the action, just to build the template so I didn't do that and I asked the teacher administering the test and he basically brushed me off said he can't clarify anything and I was like, well I did everything that was asked so I'm done. The actual class teacher was cool she said I could tell you knew what you were doing so she let me just skip assignments, check in for class, leave and I did have to take the weekly tests but they literally took me like 10 mins every time and I'd get to leave when I was done. I was still annoyed that the administrator didn't listen to me and that I didn't make a bigger deal about being allowed to ask questions. I don't usually tell people I'm dyslexic, I'm not embarrassed I just rather not use it as an excuse and sometimes people just automatically assume I can't read or I can't comprehend things, so it's more of a need to know thing, but ya having help in college would be nice.
@@WomanRoaring by uni I did have a lot of coping mechanisms, but none of my tutors would listen to me regarding accommodations for those strategies or the things I still struggled with. Because I was an art student I didn’t have to do quite as much reading and writing as other subjects, but I still had more than you might expect an pd there were far fewer provisions in place on the art courses bc they were perceived as being easy and not having a lot of written work.
@@oceanbytez847 The cost is trivial, and it is their legal responsibility to provide it, just as it is their legal responsibility to provide 'disabled access' to those who need it.
Being 'a business' is NO excuse to actively fail to provide and to substitute BS to cover the failures/lies.
When I was in school there was only one teacher in the entire county that even knew what dyslexia was. My mother had polio and kept us kids in sight by teaching us things. So I knew all my numbers to 100 and all the alphabet by entering the first grade. Six months later I was way behind. I failed every IQ test throughout 12 years of school. I studied at night until I knew the school subject forwards and backwards, but failed the test the following school day. My dyslexia was like there was an over achiever doing the filing in my brain who had no ability to do any filing at all. Before tests I know the subject matter, but the pressure of the test would make my mind go blank. After the test I could not only recall all the test answers but all the questions. This madness went on for decades... Relatives who knew I had dyslexia often took advantage of the fact that stress caused me to turn into a retarded state of ignorance. And they had a grand time making me look like a dumbass in public and they knew how to punch the right buttons to make me look foolish under stress. 3s and Es, 6s and 9s, ofter looked alike. In my mid-twenties I was working in broadcasting, eventually you learn to be the class clown and natural entertainer, but I found a place that gave IQ tests adjusted for dyslexics. I had been treated as broken all my life by my mother. However... I won an art scholarship in high school but was not allowed to take it because I was broken. While taking a dyslexic IQ test I found out that I actually had a higher IQ than my unbroke siblings. In grade school a principle told mother I was retarded and would never learn to read or write. I have three degrees today. I have written 130 novels. I've been published in magazines back when they were still read. How did I deal? When hung up, the dyslexic school out in Virginia taught me to silently run the ABC's in my mind when a word would not come to mind. Often this helps to bring the word to mind. Just remember, don't allow people to tell you that you are broken. Dyslexics usually have higher IQs and are greater achievers than the average people, like Cher Bono, Bruce Jenner, Albert Einstein and others... Enjoy the afternoon...
What is ABC, can you give out some tips how to manage dyslexy ...thanks
Kinda like me some.
Thank you for explaining this. As a career educator for over 25 years, NOBODY ever gave us a useful professional development session about the different types of features of dyslexia.
Only through my own desire and membership in the leading World language association did I finally learn about dyslexia any 15 years ago.
There's been a general negligence in the profession.
Teachers used to be given relevant training and were paid to go to conferences. Now, the administration get to go on these useful conferences. Do they provide training when they come back? Not once that I've ever seen. It's disgusting how the corporate movement to turn schools into charter schools even in the suburbs.
Frankly, it's criminal.
I helped my dad get better with his dyslexia by getting him watching anime. He couldn’t rely on the voices to tell him what was going on because they were in Japanese. I specifically had him watching anime with subtitles. At first he had no idea what they shows were about but liked how it looked. Over time though he started reading the subs, but they go pretty fast. Now he’s at the point where he can read almost every word and can talk to me about the show. I still help with long or strange words, but he’s no longer illiterate.
You did a fantastic job. Well done.
My life was ruff, teachers were short with me and didn't seem to have time to help me. My dad noticed that I had a wide vocabulary and had me tested at the Calhoun clinic in Jacksonville Florida. He knew something was going on. I was diagnosed with dyslexia. Knowing what was wrong is super but no one knew how to help me. I taught myself to read over the summer of 1971 with some paper back star trek books I desperately wanted to read.
I think that we as dyslexics see the world in a different way.
I didn't go to HS but later on in my early twenties went to the college of New Rochelle In NY.
I went from restaurant work in my teens and early twenties to sales. I specialized in office supplies and furniture. I was in the 100k income range by the late 80s. I took a GED test in 78, that was my ticket to the future.
My wife has 3 masters degrees and retired as a nurse practitioner.. I am proud of our daughter Jessica who received a masters of fine arts.
The thing that saved me was not giving up.
Blessings to all
I'm now in my 70's, but when I was 9 I was sent for hearing tests because it was thought that I must be partially deaf. Whenever anyone spoke to me I had to ask them to repeat what they'd said, sometimes several times. So people would then shout, or call me stupid. I was not deaf, but have always had a sound processing delay. When people spoke to me it sounded like a foreign language. The sounds were all jumbled up, and I had to replay them in my mind several times before they settled into recognisable English words. I was 60 when I was told that this was a form of dyslexia, and it was something of a relief to find out that it's now recognised as a problem.
I still suffer from it today, and nowadays I often have to reread words as my brain misidentifies words when it sees them on a page. So it's not something that gets any easier as we get older, but we simply adjust to having to deal with it second by second every day.
Being left handed didn't help either, as my handwriting was very poor until I watched a left handed teacher writing when I went to secondary school at age 12, and finally learned how to write without smudging every word. However, at junior school I remember my teacher holding up my exercise book so that everyone could have a good laugh at my struggling attempt at writing. Especially as we used inkwells in those days, and dip pens. So I was constantly scratching the page, and smudging what I'd just written as I moved my left hand over the words I'd just scratched into the paper. Thank goodness for ball point pens! But they were too late for me in Junior school, sadly.
Here in South Africa our sons OT didn't know about dyslexia. They weren't taught this at varsity. We asked her if our son could have it because my father did. It was all new to her. I still can't believe it. How many children don't get help because the teaching system is lacking
An OT hadn't heard of it. Now that's pretty hard to believe. Crazy!
@@Learning_Success It is common place and widespread. The facts that you don't know it and find it hard to beleive is typical of the attitude of people who claim to 'know about dyslexia and what it is'. That, is the 'crazy' part, and typical of the dismissive 'failure to understand'.
Excellent explanation -first time I've seen my early reading issues described - neglect dyslexia. I was left to sort it out for myself. When I was about 8, still unable to read, I taught myself to read music and to play the piano. At school, we were regularly assessed for reading age, and mine was always 5. Until one day, I suddenly jumped to 14, the top of the scale. I understand now, reading music was teaching me 'visual tracking'. Music, of course had a feedback loop, I knew instantly if it sounded wrong.
I always tell people that I have an auditory processing disorder with your descriptions I think it might actually just be auditory dyslexia because the way you described it is exactly on point and it’s the way I describe it to everyone. I always tell people that I have to read their lips in order for my brain to properly process the audio it’s receiving. But I also think that it’s because of my autism and ADHD because it helps my brain focus on what they’re saying and better actively listen to the Content of what they’re saying without being so easily distracted by other things that are around me.
I think that’s me for sure.
On hearing the initial description, I thought it sounded similar to CAPD. Is there overlap between CAPD and auditory dyslexia, what are the differences?
I've been interested in disabilities like autism and dyslexia for years and read books about it, yet this video is the first I've heard about different types of dyslexia. Though you come across much less dyslexia books. If you find one in a book shop, it's a rare find. As a result I'm not so well read on dyslexia.
I’m 61 and also dyslexic. Many years ago I read a book titled, the gift of dyslexia, which helped me understand my brain and my children’s brain, that in itself was life-changing. Also, I am an optician 🤓 the eye doctor I work for,has studied prisms in glasses, and the dyslexic brain 🧠 Many dyslexic children could benefit from a slight bit of prism their glasses,👓 She showed me how my eyes would track better with a slight amount of prism placed in my glasses. I did order a pair and try it but since I was already 60 years old, I had a struggle adapting to them,so they took the prism out out. I do believe ,as a child, that would have been life-changing for tracking words on a page.
There are many easy exercises to train visual tracking www.learningsuccesssystem.com/system/visual-tracking
That is so interesting. I have never heard of putting a prism in glasses' lenses. I am 63. I was diagnosed as needing Irlens' lenses at 61. They made a huge difference. Not to my reading ability - I teach reading for a living- but now when I drive at night, the cars are in their proper lanes!
@@jehannehardwick6311 there is always something new to learn 😃❤️🧩 🧠
Thank God for Mrs. Brown, my 3rd grade teacher in 1977. She took a kid who couldn't read or write his own name who should have failed 2nd grade and was so mean to him. She kept me after school every day and taught me to memorize words by sight..thousands of them, then taught me phonics to figure out sounds from sight..I went from total illiteracy to reading at 12th grade level that year. I grew up, graduated from high school early, went to college and earned a degree in physics. Then another in Geology and another in education. I taught for 30 years everything from 6th graders to University students. Mrs Brown had started teaching before World War Two. She had never heard of dyslexia. She did however know how to effectively teach and fix learning problems. Her modeling helped me to pay it forward many times to help struggling kids. Lysdexia...ha..😂
Yes. Thank God for Mrs Brown!
Now we teachers would not be allowed to work after school like that, without filling out masses of forms and getting permission.
It's so frustrating to watch where the powers that be throw funding. When so much could be gained by making sure that every child can read.
Here, in NZ, After three years at Teacher's College, I learnt how to teach someone to read in an extra course I chose to do in my school holidays - I trained as a SPELD tutor. Best money I ever spent. I have worked as a SPELD /SPELADD tutor for most of my working life. I'm still studying, still tutoring, and still learning. Almost at retirement age, but I won't be quitting completely. It is such a worthwhile job.
Dyslexia wasn't widely known when I was in school. Mostly I mix up bs and ds, and after your video, I realize I have a very mild case. It does come with advantages though; I can easily read mirrored or upside-down text. I can also write upside-down.
Bit of a pain when you read the writing on the other side of the road telling people to look left, when on your side of the road you need to look right!
Very useful when quietly cheating at quizzes, puzzles, and crosswords! 😊
I'll have problems some times where I'll think of a sentence in my head and when I say it out loud I'll flip two of the words, so I'll think "what are you doing", but instead I'll say "what doing are you".
I get you same for me
Yes, this is related. It's all in how we process.
Me too 😅
I’ve never had any problems reading, I had an above average reading age as a child. But I do struggle with with writing some letters the right way round (b and d), in the past few years I’ve started getting word’s mixed up when talking quickly, but the main thing I struggle with is differentiating left and right (sometimes I’ve got it and sometimes it’s completely wrong).
Yes.. l have always gotten my left and right mixed up. I have to think which side my heart is on before l know which is left then l know the other is the right lol
Oh my god, for years I've just been saying that I've got bad hearing, and/or described it as dyslexic ears without realising that was an actual thing! Thank you so much!
Thank you for this explanation! We always just called my daughter's reading issues a glitch associated with her ADHD. Her challenge most closely matches neglect dyslexia, which I had never heard described as a form of dyslexia before.
The way she describes it, the first and last letter of a word stay in place, while the middle letters jumble together. Yet she's a brilliant speller, because she has some photographic memory skills and pattern recognition of whole words. She cannot sound out words she's never seen before, but she is very quick to memorize.
She has no formal diagnosis, having fought us every time we tried to get her some testing. The testing we did manage when she was below the age of eight indicated attention challenges. Keeping her in two sports per season helped get the ya-yas out enough so she could focus in school. She figured out for herself that if she cut and pasted assignments, enlarging the text and changing the font, she could read more easily. When possible, she found an audiobook version of textbooks.
In high school, the family took turns reading to her any literature or textbooks that we couldn't find in audio version. It made the difference between her being an indifferent student whom teachers considered unengaged and working below her potential -- and being a successful student who actually did all her work and contributed to class. Through a lot of hard work, she was a success story; graduating with excellent grades and getting into the colleges of her choice with both athletic and academic merit scholarships.
Still, she's having trouble finishing her science degree; can't use her usual skills in labs and it takes her 4-5 times as long as the other students.

Hi. I realise you posted this comment a while ago, and maybe you won't see this reply, but you might, and I would like to offer a suggestion that may help your daughter.
There is a book called SOAR Study Skills by Susan Woodcock Kruger.
She has developed a system of study skills for students with ADHD. It works. I used her card indexing method to write my assignments when I was working on a Grad Diploma in Early Childhood Teaching.
@@jehannehardwick6311 Thank you! I will look for the book. My daughter still has a year left of undergrad, and anything that might reduce the grueling and disheartening struggle is worth it.
I feel lucky that my mom was a teacher who worked with me for hours/ years! As a kid life was so stressful and difficult I hated school and never dated because I was so worried they would dump me after they figured out how severe my dyslexia was! The one thing mom did that made a huge difference was having audiobooks available for me continuously I always had a book going and still do ❤whenever I said a word incorrectly, she corrected it in the moment and then worked with me on it until I got it right! Thank you for this information I never knew there’s more than one kind of dyslexia! All I know is it gets better over time if you just keep pushing through and work on finding ways to make your life easier!
I diagnosed myself after i dropped out of high school. I ran a successful a business of my own. I just think differently than most. It works for me.
This is good and I have recently been told (and I'm now in my 40's) that I may have a processing disorder as I struggle to hear but my hearing is actually really good! I had lots of ear infections also when I was younger, but I'm surprised you didn't mention Dyscalculia (I ironically can't spell it!) Which is dyslexia in Numbers. I have this and it's so very difficult in the world, maths is everywhere! Apart from that it was very informative and helpful and held my attention.
My child suffers from dyslexia, and based on this video it suggests they have a Double Deficit Dyslexia combining Attentional Dyslexia and Developmental Neglect Dyslexia. No one believed us despite struggling to be able to read still in 3rd grade. Why? Because my child is smart and has phenomenal comprehension. So, once the sentence is finally decoded enough that my child understands, they are able to retain that information. We tested in 4th grade (back then even their mother didn't believe me), we requested again in 8th grade and we sent for "tutor needs" testing instead, and finally freshman year as I wasn't going to let that district game slide. Each time they said my child wasn't dyslexic. Then we challenged the decision to go to an outside psychologist for testing.
When my child described what happens when they read, the psychologist was fully on board with believing my child. But when my kiddo took the actually tests, and barely met minimum time due to all the techniques they've learned over the years to compensate... the doctor essentially said, "Nope, your child isn't dyslexic. Doesn't matter how much the words and letters jump around or change on them, as they were able to compensate to reach the lowest common denominator score." Essentially saying that if my child had no legs, but without a wheelchair, was able to bounce/roll from class to class, getting there at the same tardy time that the delinquent students who don't want to be at school do... then they aren't disabled and don't need accommodations such as a wheelchair. My child has dyslexia but is just good at decoding the pieces of a sentence that does make it into their brain. They can't even see their name the same way anytime they look at it. So, my child gets no help, no support, no assistance from the school, all because they "function too well".
That really sucks. Great analogy
I get exactly what you mean.
I didn't even know there were different types! thank you, now i can better understand my specific symptoms. Always felt as though somethign was wrong during school but never fit into the boxes other dyslexic kids did
Yeah, my eventual diagnosis (withheld from me) means I don't fit any of the 'typical' boxes either.
Thank you for this break down. While I was tested at primary school and found to dyslexic and again in my mid 30s, and the diagnosis was confirmed, nobody actually indicated what type of dyslexia I suffer from.
I think my mom and I are dyslexic, and my dad and I are autistic, but my parents don't take mental disorders/disabiltiess seriously and are extremely ableist so idrk what to do now hehe
Ask your parents to go through our dyslexia screener with you. The results will give you plenty of insights www.learningsuccesssystem.com/dyslexia-test
Great job explaining dyslexia. My son is dyslexic and, because he had multiple ear infections during his crucial learning stage and had to get tubes in his ears, he also has a speech impediment. He's always using words like "pasghetti" and "frigdefrator," but he's learned to take it in stride. He was very fortunate in school to have an IEP, or resource, teacher who was also dyslexic, so she was able to explain to us how he processed things differently. He's always been really good at reading comprehension, as long as someone reads it to him, and could usually repeat a story word for word after hearing only 1-2 times. As a college student now, I bought him a reading pen to use in class so he can scan each word, sentence, or paragraph, and it reads it back to him. He has come a long way in his reading skills but still has a lot of trouble with his writing. He has mostly learned to write his letters in the correct direction but still has to ask sometimes, "Which way does the hump go for 'b'?" Other letters too, but that's just one example. He also asks me to proofread his responses before posting them to his class because he will mix letters up, turn them around, and sometimes simply leave out letters. Another helpful tool came from his speech teacher. She used whisper phones in her class to help the students hear the letter sounds and combination sounds better. We even bought some for him to have at home. They're very cheap, or you can make one out of PVC pipe. This not only helped his speech but his dyslexia, too. He still has difficulties with some words and sounds in both speech and writing but has managed to get to the point where he can at least read on a 4th or 5th grade level. I know that doesn't sound like much, but when you start off not being able to read at all, it's a lot. Using rulers while reading also helps them to keep their place so they don't get confused as to where they are. It really goes very deeply into the mind and would take much more to explain here, but thank you for breaking that down for people. Also, remember, it's not just letters, but numbers, too.
I was diagnosed as a child with dyslexia, but I can’t really relate to this tbh. What I learned over time is the a dyslexic person just has a different wiring in their brain that is processing information differently and is seeking for higher/bigger patterns. This is probably what is causing troubles in reading. In the last 100 years our society started using text as a main way of communication quite abruptly and dyslexics struggled with this. (This is highly valued in our educational system as well) However, in business nowadays this can be utilized as a strength. In fact, some businesses are actively seeking for dyslexics. I work in Business/IT and have noticed i have a natural talent for overseeing complexity and the bigger picture. Besides this, Dyslexics apparently have the ability to manipulate objects in their mind. I guess that is of great value in areas of work as well. The problem imo is that this has been labeled as a disability and general disadvantage in life. The truth is it is not. I was able to get my masters degree in English, even though i’m not a native English speaker.
My husband and my son have Surface Dyslexia. Great descriptions! Thank you!
Actually I had 2 of those dyslexic issues... neglected dyslexia being the first one that was very evident to everyone, but the easiest to fix!
Hey there, you forgot one kind. Mathematical dyslexia. I’ve got all 7 kinds. It’s crippling at times.
Yes that is called dyscalculia. We talk about it separately but it is true that it is very related. Basically the same underlying causes with a different expression.
My dyslexia is pretty bad but the dyscalculia is much worse. It makes me physically nauseated if I have to do any type of complex math. Simple math is fine, but anything more than a simple math problem I literally shut down. I’m 45. The first time I noticed it was in 3rd grade.
@@Dystraxia1076 I can understand that. I ended up with long covid. Infected March 2020. After about a year it affected the language centers in my brain. Any sort of complex thought was physically debilitating. Reading and writing became physically painful and the effects would last for several days if I tried to push through. It affected listening as well as phone conversations became exhausting. And I experienced some slurring. I am getting much better now, still difficult but not as bad, but the experience was profound. And the irony not lost on me since I run a program to help dyslexics.
In April 2021 I underwent a corrective surgery for chiari malformation. While it significantly reduced the head pain, my cognitive issues such as the dyslexia / dyscalculia still plague my life. I make the best of what I was dealt…but, I am an artist, and musician as well as ambidextrous…something many folks that are “normal” don’t really get. But what I get really frustrated with is, the “normal” people think that they can teach or train it out of me, but they don’t understand I can’t be taught out of it… it’s actually something that got worse with age.
@Guy Whose opinions will offend you - mine reading is okay but I gotta read something like 5 or 6 times to make any sense… it’s functional, for the most part, but the dyscalculia is just horrible. Throw me into a script with math, omg that is a melt down for sure. I sweat, get nausea, shakes, confusion, sometimes cry. It’s just not fun.
I always knew I had auditory processing issues. And I did have tons of ear infections when I was little. Little did I know it was a type of dyslexia too😂😂
My boyfriend certainly has double deficit dyslexia. He has multiple types. It's one of the things I love about him, believe it or not😊
Appreciate thus video. I have been utterly frustrated with a prominent commercial entity in this field *insisting* that phonological dyslexia is the *only* kind of dyslexia, and if you don't have phonological problems it isn't dyslexia. Unfortunately virtually all interventions here in the UK are aimed at phonological gaps, and it's hard to find other options. My eldest's dyslexia is closer to the visual and rapid naming kinds you describe.
Yes we know that is a huge issue. The place where that definition comes from says "usually phonological". Yet even the experts omit that word from the definition. It is extremely frustrating and is damaging a lot of people. We hear it all the time. Its really hard to believe. And its not that hard to figure out that dyslexia presents in many ways. Just reading the comments alone on some of our videos is enough to figure that out. We feel your frustration. This needs to change. The researcher who came up with that definition told me personally that kids are making up the symptoms such as letters moving. Unbelievable
@@Learning_Success "Making up symptoms"??? So thousands of kids who don't know each other and just randomly making up the same symptoms? Yes, that's logical. Oh wait... Absolutely, obtuse! That makes me so mad!
This is brilliant. But a b is a p, and a d. They are the same shape and who can remember which way round the should be. I have got through college and University by somehow learning how to learn my own way, and getting progressively better at it. But there are days when words inadvertently still get twisted and I catch the b's and p's misbehaving themselves.
An excellent definition of the various types of dyslexia and examples. Thank you.
This was cool. I was diagnosed with an auditory processing disorder when I was a kid along with dyslexia. I have symptoms of all the different types you described. Anyway the doctors also told my mother I have a perfect auditory memory. How this works out in my head is if something is said too quickly or if it is a complicated sound it basically registers as nonsense and gets dumped out of my brain. If I can understand the sound it is basically permanently in my memory. My son talks a mile a minute it seems like to me so it all comes out as garbled nonsense even though my wife understands what he is saying. He gets so frustrated with me because most people understand him even if it is a little difficult but I might only understand a single word out of a sentence till he slows down. The human brain and what it does is so crazy.
At 67 I have great difficulty even in simple multiplication. Anything math makes me feel equal to a trained (maybe untrained) chimp. I'm retired Air Force and retired US Postal Service. Not easy. Be kind with your comments please.
I have always felt I had a hole my head in regard to numbers and arithmetic, etc.. I struggle to hold numbers in my head, have difficulty understanding the value of numbers, spatial concepts, and make frequent errors with number sequences.
About five years ago I learned about dyscalculia. That fits me! But also my siblings.
I decided to go back to basics, to really focus on comprehending the value of numbers, rather than rote learning them like a song. I did a free online maths course, starting at the very beginning - kindergarten counting. I worked my way, slowly and deliberately through school maths. Nearly every day I practiced holding numbers in my head to do count initially, then do increasingly long arithmetic, rather than writing it down, as I progressed through the year levels. It took a lot of effort but gradually became easier!
Some years later, I am still surprised that although I am out of practice, and not at the level of ability I was, I can still hold numbers in my head to some degree, and do basic mental arithmetic when that was not possible most of my life! I feel like some of the hole in my head has filled with a little bit of 'number brain'! 😃
I have work to do, but I have already made my daily life easier, and know that I can keep developing my brain. That's the joy of neuroplasticity! We can develop our brains at any age, if we are willing to work at it. 😊
This is unbalevable and fantastic that you can understand, I am 60 now and I have conked some of the problems. I recognise most of what you said and identify with it , life has been really difficult. Thanks again
From the description, I would say my brother is the second one. His writing to this day is phonetic, taught to him in school, when they finally realised he was not stupid just dyslectic. (Damage done though, sadly)
He has issues as well when reading, he reaches the end of a line and instead of dropping down to the next one ends up rereading the same one. Frustrating to no end. My heart breaks for him.
Yes, phonetic teaching really did not do me any favours at all. Thanks school.
At 19 I was diagnosed with SSS “Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome “ a form of dyslexia… always had trouble concentrating because the words would do crazy tricks on the pages! Lol Simply treated with Rose or blue colored lenses … I would’ve been a better student had we known this when I was a child.
I'm so glad more research is going on!
I grew up dyslexic and many teachers thought I was pretending as an excuse to fall behind on reading assignments. The only thing I’ve learned over the years that help me is when I read aloud the fluency gets way better but then there’s really not much retention but that’s ok now that I’m almost fifty lol
I got your feeling of pretending stuff.
No, its not 'ok'.
@@bikerfirefarter7280 but I’m ok.
I would love to see more resources that help adults every where I look it's for the children which I'm fine with but some of us didn't receive help as children and now I feel stuck in this place where I can't get the help I need to even help my kids
We are working on an adult program. However, what we have found is that most adults in your situation are not motivated to do the work. We really dont know why. Perhaps it is the false belief that neuroplasticity is not possible when older. Its a false belief that was only proven wrong in the last couple decades. And word hasnt caught on. Maybe you can help by telling us what IS motivating you. Because that is not the norm. Your kids?
@@Learning_Success Couldn't older teens with dyslexia also be lumped in with adults with dyslexia? Our 15-year-old has dyslexia (not exactly sure which one will have to watch the video several more times) and was diagnosed when he was a child. He can read relatively well, though, thank God, and he doesn't have problems with math. Grammar, though, may as well be in Korean. We're homeschooling him and are at our wits end when it comes to grammar, punctuation, capitlization, etc. I know that Grammarly can do all that for him, but while he's in school...what's he to do? And how will he pass the GED???
@@AishaMCoupons Yes absolutely. Physiologically there is only one difference between adults doing exercises to improve and children. The brains of children are naturally neuroplastic. They change very easily. Adult brains also have neuroplasticity and can change as well. However it takes more effort for adults to cause the change to happen. Still works, just takes more effort. Psychologically, with teens they tend to not want to do things that seem to be made for young children. Which is unfortunate because they are still in a phase of neuroplasticity. If they wait it will be harder.
I relate to Neglect Dyslexia.
The reversal of letters is very common as well as the reading from right to left too.
Sometimes I’ll look at a word and think, “has it always been spelled that way?”
Because it’d suddenly look so different I have to look it up to be sure it’s spelled right.
When I’m really tired the words I’ll read seem to move off the page in such a confusing way I can no longer read.
But it can very well be that way at any time too-just not as extreme.
I don’t know why I was never diagnosed with Dyslexia when this was what was happening.
But I guess everyone thought I was just looking at one part of the page and suddenly jumped down to the bottom or wherever.
I don’t know.
That’s what I was told.
It seemed like a bs explanation to me.
Thank you. This explains things about my granddaughter and her struggles in studying.
Extremely informative - thanks!
Lol we found out EARLY on (1st grade) that I was dyslexic. Words moved around like waves on the page, flipping letters, slow reading, could not spell the “easy words” on spelling tests (but killed the hardest ones). The strangest of all was my reading comprehension was above and beyond the rest of the class. I couldn’t read 3/4 of the words in a story, but I could tell you every single detail and plot point. My teacher struggled for half the year to figure me out (probably drove her to drinking a few times). My state didn’t recognize dyslexia as a disorder in schools, so my mom went out of pocket to get me observed. She was told with out a doubt I was dyslexic and ADD. Once my mom took the letter to the school to get accommodations made the principal had no idea what dyslexia was and just wanted to put me in CDC class. My mom fought to get me a 504 instead. Once I got my 504 I also started getting tutoring on weekends. All the help I was receiving ended when I went to middle school. Since dyslexia still wasn’t recognized by the state my 504 didn’t follow me to middle school. At this point I was “on level” and we agreed that it would be a waste of time and money to go through it all again and again once I hit high school, so I stopped getting accommodations. Looking back I wish we would’ve got my accommodations for when I went to college, I also wish someone would have worked with me on my ADD. The school focused on my dyslexia and getting me to read and neglected my social skills and mental health that come along with the ADD. As an adult I am more aware of these problems and am proactive in learning my disabilities.
I didn't know I have a type of dyslexia until I was an adult.
Interestingly, i teach the violin and have taught several visual dsylexic students, and what they told me that they actually enjoyed reading sheet music because while the stem would move, the note head would stay the same, so they could easily read the notes correctly. Where they said they had issues was with the accidentals, because those would move from their proper place in front of the note to behind the note, making them look like they were attached to the following note instead. The solution I used with them was to write the accidentals on top of the staff above the note. One had a school orchestra teacher get mad about it, but i didn't care beverage is rather have messy music that functioned for them than to have clean paper and playing errors.
as an adult with dyslexia this really opened my eyes!! i learned so much! thank you!
Just the other day I mentioned to my mom if there might be such a thing as "hearing dyslexia." Because in that case I think I might have something like that, though not so much it affects my day-to-day.
Coming across this now was a funny coincidence😂
Never been diagnosed, but I know from others that I have some form of dyslexia. I tend have trouble with numbers. I read a sequence of numbers, last read is the first one written. Math`s was therefore never my strong suit. Happens as well with words but not as much. God I love spell check. Filling out details on forms is a fun and tedious., as there is no spell check when doing it by hand. The more tired I am the more I have issues. Evey now and then when I am talking I get all lost and have to stop and sort out what I am saying. The numbers was a issue from way back in primary school. Back then though you where considered slow. This was in the late sixties. Learnt to take it slow a steady when dealing with those pesky numbers.
Glad you have found coping mechanisms. Unfortunately there was very little understanding of these things. A diagnosis is not necessary to begin working on them and also further develop the skills that may have come along with them
@@Learning_Success l also didn't learn to read 'properly' till secondary (big) school.
As l child of the 60's in England we learnt reading though 'whole word' learning, and our parents were actively discourage from hearing us read,Also, children weren't tested on reading skills in school.
As a result it wasn't untill l took my 11+(a term no longer used) that teachers realised l couldn't read.
In secondary my English teacher taught the remedial class useing phonics, and l basically learnt to read in less than 6 months, falling head over heels in love with books in the process.
I've never been officially diagnosed, but l do have so many of the 'quirks' that are classic to dyslexia, and my spelling is still horrible 😁.
Thank goodness for spellcheck.
Trouble with numbers tends to be dyscalculia. I have issues with it too, and learned a few coping mechanisms as well. They tend to break under stress though.
I definitely have this. If someone says, for example 17 I would write the 7 down and have to stick a 1 in front of this. For a few years (last century) I lived in Germany, people would rattle of a phone number as "six thousand, three hundred and thirty-two" Not a hope in hell I could process that and write down the correct number
Dyscalculia is what numberblindness is called👊🏻
I had no idea that you would be able to explain what dyslexia feels like soooo accurately. This was a really helpful video.
Clear back in my teens (the 1970s) I dubbed a problem I had "sort of an auditory pointillism" that sounds a bit like it might be more of an auditory dyslexia. Sometimes when somebody spoke I'd hear sounds, recognize them as English, know that they had meaning, but not have any idea what that meaning was. But in a moment everything would come together. It's akin to the experience when you're standing close to a pointillist painting and see nothing but dots, but when you step back you can see the picture.
I'm here complaining about my severe reading dyslexia and there are people who have all of this?!
My Dyslexia:
Notable mention: I need *larger amounts of text* for my dyslexia to be *extremely obvious* so while driving I have no issues reading signs with a few words and such (in worst case scenarios like If there's larger amounts of text I'll just pass the sign and think about what I saw and read it in my mind)
1) I read half of a word and think of the other half thus reading like anyone else would with some mishaps of saying totally ridiculous words. If I read only for my personal reasons like reading something from like Wikipedia then I just read at my own slow pace.
2) I'm also bad at distinguishing between letters while reading (that why thinking the rest of the word is much faster and it's extremely weird), I just read > listen to me reading > process the stuff I hear > actually process what I've read, it's more like a communication between two people in my head and that partially "separates" my brain while reading. Just imagine using like 35-50% of your brain while reading *just for the process of reading* )
3) I get lost between the lines of text sometimes or even go back to the beginning of the line I just read...
4) I am 19 and while writing I still confuse direction of some letters. Only from left or right not top or bottom. To be exact J Z b d (I've had troubles with S, but not anymore. I think of an S like a 5 and for some reason that just fixed it)
BUT
1) I have very good imagination and sense of space
2) I am *extremely good listener* and very good at speaking (it's literally recommended for me to be examined only in the form of verbal exams)
3) I might be bad at reading letters but I can read anyones face 😂
Love reading your post I have learned from you thanks 🙏
I am so glad that you mention your strengths. Dyslexics have WILD abilities and I get cranky when we are dismissed because of spelling and reading speed.
I may not be able to spell my way out of a paper bag, but I can make 3-D figures spin/ unfold/dance in my mind. My daughter can't read single words but reads paragraphs at a glance and scores in the 98th percentile for comprehension. My sons...? Math wizards.
I love dyslexia.
Imma be honest I made it about 1 sentence into this bad boy and gave up lol
@@botsloth2316 Too lazy to decipher all of that? 🤣
@@theghostkillz8921 i read like 20-30 words per minute max so yes i am too lazy lol
dam this was so helpful i’ve been diagnosed with dyslexia since i was 6 so it’s really cool to see what type i have
Great!
I have a little from almost each of these categories and could only imagine how different things might have been if identified earlier (instead of adulthood.) Thank you for the great info!
My grandmother had dyslexia. My mother and uncles got accused of forging excuse notes from home as kids, because school officials couldn't believe an adult would misspell words in a note.
Dyspraxia can be an issue as well. My son has global dyspraxia and we worked very hard with speech therapy, physio therapy and occupational therapy. It still is an issue as an adult but he has a job and his speech is great but still issues with reading text and writing my length of text.
When my baby sister started school (think 1949) our parents told my older brother and I that she was "retarded" (that is a word you remember). She has a Masters degree in Special Ed and has taught kids with dyslexia for over 30 years.
I was always so mad and confused because every video I saw said something like “difficulty with reading and writing” but this really cleared things up
I use Google microphone to spell for me and I use copy and paste to a text to speech up to make sure the Google microphone is spelling what I wanted to spell 🤣🤣🤣 also I use it for reading text messages and emails or any other information that I am looking for.
This video is great thank you for sharing it and I think I have several of the types that you have mentioned there.
I had a really rough time and school and teachers would call me thick and stupid. Thick is a word that is used in the UK specifically in Northern Ireland for someone who is retarded 😢
I never enjoyed school and couldn't wait to go to work so when I started my working life a teacher seeing me in a garden centre that I was working in and I was informing a member of the public about planting arrangements and the condition of the soil also the correct times to feed the plant to make sure it get the best nourishment that it needed so it was strong enough through the winter. And my teacher who I hadn't seen in many years came up and touched me on the shoulder with her eyes a little red and said I did not realise just how smart you actually are I am really sorry for calling you those names in school a tear actually rolled down her face.
I didn't really know what to say to her but try to comfort her because she was crying and I told her it was ok and I just kept smiling telling her it was ok and asked her what plants was she interested in for her garden to try and get her to come down.
It was nice that she did say sorry but that was only one teacher there were many more not to mention my friends in school and all her classmates that would constantly call me names because I couldn't spell and couldn't read.
I have had many jobs from that time working in the garden centre and I am not a bus cleaner and I actually really enjoy it I'm not going to make a million pounds doing it but I am happy doing what I am doing. I have had to work manual labour all of my life and it has sort of destroyed my body with all of the heavy work so cleaning busses although it is still physical and can be tough going at least it's not shovelling 12 ton of stone or building walls or having to work with asbestos just to make a wage at the end of the week to put food on the table and pay towards the mortgage.
I think that people with dyslexia have been overlooked for too long and people do not take it serious what it does to them physically and mentally. I suffer from a lot of anxiety and I think dyslexia has something to do with that also I would get really anxious if I went to the shop and I would ask people in the shop to help me pick out stuff because I would tell them I don't have my glasses and I can't read the label. The thing is I don't wear glasses at all I just say it because I am ashamed to tell a stranger that I have dyslexia and can't read what I am buying.
It's also quite difficult if they change stuff around the shop which they do quite often or if the label of a product is changed I am totally lost and don't know what I am looking for after that.
But I have got this far I'm now 42 years old and I have learnt a lot of things over the years and people actually come to me for help and advice which I find ironic sometimes but I like to help people and I always do my best to make someone feel happy or feel better.
So just because we have dyslexia does not mean that we are retarded The way my teachers in school made me think. Some of us are very intelligent and very helpful and caring towards others.
Don't let the negativity of the past hold you back or cause anxiety and depression in your life.
We may be different but I think that's a good thing because I always want to help people and see the best in people and I think it is because of my experience in school the teachers never seen the best in me so I look for it in other people because I know what it feels like when people call you names or think you are not able to do certain things.
Hopefully society will change and I know we are going into a world of technology and computers and learning to spell and read is so very important for the age in which we are entering but hopefully something will change for people with dyslexia that we may be equal with others and not look down upon or forced to work with materials that are hazardous to our health or work in heavy labour intensive jobs that ruin our bodies and train us of all of our energy.
If you have read all of this thank you for reading it and if you have been told that you are stupid or retarded because you have dyslexia don't believe the person who said it you are unique you are special and you can probably do more than what that person has ever done in their life.
Have a good day everyone 😊
I see some parts of three or four of the six types of Dyslexia in myself. I'm 48 years old and back when I started school in 1980 Dyslexia was in its early days of being understood by educators here in the US. I was the first person in my school district to be in both the learning disability classes and the gifted program for kids with high intelligence at the same time. Therefore, just because you or your kids have Dyslexia doesn't in any way make you or them slow or dumb as some people may say even today. We who are Dylexic just learn in different ways that people without it learn. We are more able to think outside the box than the people without it, I don't know if it's true or not and I don't think there's any way to say yes or no about it but they say Albert Einstein was a Dyslexic and look what he did. Therefore I say to people with Dyslexia, "Don't allow it to stop you from fulfilling your dreams whatever they may be, and reach for the stars because the only limits are the ones you put on yourself."
Listening to your video and reading some comments, as someone who is 67 and was called thick, I would like to say dyslexia is a superpower not a hindrance, it is very useful in our society to be able to pass written exams, but those who find writing easy, will miss out on have a very visual way of thinking. I do not see words scrolling in front of me, I see pictures that I describe. I can understand a contour map without training, I can visualise Ikea furniture without their instructions and so much more. Please stop singling out the failure to read and write, concentrate on what the brain is wired up for, which unfortunately does not fit in with education syllabuses. Oh and isn't spell checker great
I agree, and yes, I don't know how I made without spell checker. Many times, Spell Checker has no idea what I am trying to spell😅
@@tammybutz4357 I'm with you, I regularly break Spell Checker. I can almost hear it grinding its teeth.
Great information, thank you for sharing 🎉❤😊
My dad and I are dyslexic and can relate to all of these things. I didn’t know my dad was dyslexic until I was in my early 20s. He was made fun of for it in school and was ashamed of it. I was made fun of a lot in school for it (by students AND teachers). I felt alone, because I didn’t know anyone like me. But when my dad told me, I felt so much relief. We talk about it more now, and it’s comforting.
I have them all, ur 3rd is also called scotopic sensitivity syndrome or SSS. The book for that is called Reading by colors.
Yes that is something we haven't covered a lot
I did very well in school and spelling. However, when I am trying to recall a word I often may say the disease that starts with a “V”, and everybody will be scrambling for a word that starts with a “V” hen actually Covid starts with a “C”. Once someone says Covid, I am like right, but when I am trying to think of a word I frequently say it starts with a letter that is actually begins an syllable in the middle of the word.
Thank you so much for sharing
I was diagnosed with dyslexia as a young kid, and I didn't know there were different kinds! I'll have to look into this. I got a lot of support when I was younger, but I'm a prolific reader and it's one of my favorite hobbies, so I got less support as I was older (pretty much as soon as I hit grade school) and read more because my enthusiasm was taken as ease by my teachers. Now I'm trying to learn new skills to help myself as an adult.
Kinda got a double whammie, because I'm also hard of hearing. I do best when I can listen to and read something at the same time, like something captioned, but if I can only choose one, I prefer to read. Listening can be really exhausting, and if I miss something while reading or lose my place I can always go back, and have time to take in the information at my pace, whereas often if I miss something while listening it races on without me and I often don't have the option to jump back a few seconds if my attention slips.
I'm also autistic and have ADHD, and a lot of the time I see people trying to say that a difficulty only has one cause, but that doesn't make much sense to me. Our minds aren't really tidy like that, and something doesn't always stay neatly partitioned in its own little box. For instance, I'm very curious about how multiple causes for the same thing might interact, and how looking at the same thing from different angles can lead to more effective help for it. If I struggle with auditory processing, I don't care about 'isolating the cause', I care about learning to be effective from as many angles as possible so I can get on with my dang life. I'm autistic, often struggle with sensory overload, especially with sound, so in general existence feels pretty noisy. I have ADHD and struggle to regulate my attention, because everything feels the same level of attention grabbing so I'm constantly trying to block out road noise or a conversation in another room or someone breathing next to me or whatever, and struggle with working memory is also a part of ADHD so remembering all of what someone said and connecting that to new information is challenging. I'm hard of hearing, and depending on how noisy my environment is, I can miss most of what is said and have to fill in with context clues from lip reading and the few words I get, while trying to listen to new things, and it's like trying to reconstruct what someone was saying 30 seconds ago at the exact same time as trying to listen to what they're saying now so you can understand it in 30 seconds. And then I'm also dyslexic, which seems to affect me visually and auditorily, and this one is more difficult to articulate because I understand less about it than the others. But all that together leads to a tall order when listening. I don't think it's any one in particular that could be isolated as 'THE reason'. I think they blend and merge and affect different aspects of my individual struggles, and I'm way less interested in how I could fit into a 'label' and more how 'labels' can explain nuances of my experiences and help me to find actionable ways to learn how to function better.
This is just a bunch of random thoughts, not all necessarily related to the video, but I love learning about this kind of stuff. I used to feel so disheartened, because everything just felt hard and I didn't understand why, so I assumed it was just that I wasn't trying hard enough or some kind of moral failing. But learning more why I struggle has given me a lot of comfort, and even if there's struggle, I think there's a lot of beauty in how all our minds work differently, and how when we don't condemn those differences, we can find so many wonderfully vibrant different ways to do things. I love seeing the creative solutions people come up with because they refuse to accept that something is impossible just because it's hard. It makes me feel like I can cultivate being resilient, inginuitive, and relentless, rather than feeling like I'm incompetent, lazy, and stupid. It makes me feel proud of being able to do something despite my challenges, rather than ashamed because something 'normal' for the majority of the population is difficult for me.
I hope any of that rambling made sense to anyone (it didn't feel particularly coherent even in my own head), and thank you if you read this whole thing. I hope you have a lovely day!
I have been experiencing great frustration and aggravation with my educational career, as I work extremely, put my must thorough effort and continue having emotional traumas from dyslexia and adhd. I have consistently found many strategies to work efficiently smartest and not allow dyslexia to prevent me from reaching my academics potential my dreams and aspirations with dyslexia. However I find myself rewriting paragraphs and pages of content and lesson material from all my studies and have my diagnosis. I still have yet to get accommodations.
omg thankyou so much i defo have audatory i had hearing problems from the age of 3-11 and i struggle to take in many instructions at one time as i find it hard to rememebr then complete them
Hearing problems early on can definetely lead to auditory processing issues later. Might consider working on the auditory skills
Very informative and interactive video
This is interesting. As an adult who was diagnosed with dyslexia at 23, I realized I must be that last one. But the last time my diagnosis was updated it came out as a reading comprehension disorder. I eventually figured out that I need to listen and read material at the same time so that I could comprehend it the most. As a writer its important that I found that out!
My daughter was able to overcome nearly all of her dyslexia struggles but continues to write some of her numbers backwards, particularly 3,4, and 7. We cannot figure out why or how to correct it.
She is now 17 and has basically decided to just live with it because trying "one more thing" to correct it just causes her immense frustration. 😞
Sounds like dyscalcula (spelling?)
@@equitime77 no, she was tested for Dyscalculia (which I have) and she doesn't have it. She is fine with math, it's solely related to her (in)ability to physically write the numbers...her brain just won't let her process and write them correctly for whatever reason. 😞
Sounds like some neural pathways really got wired in strongly. They can't be unwired but they can be replaced and they will atrophy if that is done. Sounds like the amount of work needed to do so is pretty huge
I have hard time with b and d I captils I seem to fix it B And D
@@jaelynrae6045 Ah. It's what I have heard it called. I do it too. Maybe it's similar to getting letters mixed up?
I have taken a few tests today and confirmed that I do indeed have dyslexia and yet by the versions of it that you describe, it would seem I don't have any of them. The biggest impact I ever saw was when I was a computer operator back in the 80s. I had to read a 6 digit tape number off a screen, walk into a tape vault, find the tape and put it in a tape drive. What happened almost 50% of the time, was I would read the number out loud, say it wrong, I would remember what I said, and then go get the wrong tape. I found 2 things I could do to combat this. 1.) Drink less caffeine. I literally stopped drinking it before work. 2.) I would refrain from saying the tape numbers out loud and instead try to focus on the visual image of the tape number in my memory. The problem never completely went away. I just kinda side stepped it. So my specific version seems to be a problem translating from the word to saying it out loud. Even odder, I can read aloud quite well in general, but when I am doing it, I don't absorb the material. For me to read aloud, I have to read about 1/2 sentence ahead of what I am speaking. For reasons I can't explain, this seems to leaves my attention in some sort of limbo aware of what I am doing but not really gathering a memory of what I am reading. Its like I am not processing it at all.
Maybe you have invented your own type. Not being snarky. We are all unique. So your computer tape thing. We have different ways to remember. For this sort of thing typically auditory and visual. Someone who is skilled at remembering things like that will use both. Auditory for sequential and visual for more complex. Such as if it has more info such as capitalization. This is efficient. We are ussually not even aware we do it. Then other people will use one or the other. Thats where the trouble comes in. Your reading issue is common. Generally this is caused by too much cognitive load while reading. A variety of things could cause that. Due to the high cognitive load being used for processing theres just not enough left over for processing meaning. When reading becomes automatic this problem goes away.
@@Learning_Success I'm not concerned about the reading issue because it doesn't affect my life in any noticeable way. But it is helpful to know its a common issue; its not dyslexia related. The primary issue with the numbers doesn't seem to come up much in my current job. Right now, the only sign of dyslexia I see is that I mis-type some words, most noticeable is that I mis-type words I use often. For example, instead of the word "customer", I type "custerom" or some other variation. I think its because its a word I use very often and it has moved over to muscle memory. So particularly when I type fast, I often make that mistake - most of the time. If I slow down and do my usual hunt and peck, I type better.
U invented your own also wow u typed a loooooot 🤯
You have not invented your own, I have the exact same thing.. these people have no idea what they are talking about. My dyslexia is none of the ones mentioned in this video, it is very much like yours. So much that I get sweaty palms when I have to deal with proccessing or retaining info on numbers. When dialing I may read one thing and dial a complete different sequence of numbers. Been like that ever since I was a child.. Numbers literally stress me out and reading texts out loud/retaining info while doing it is a mission 😊
I wouldn't go so far as to say "These guys don't know what they are talking about." I have learned since posting this that there are many different way the symptoms of dyslexia can appear. They're just talking about a different version than what we have.
You should research "dyscalculia". I only first heard about it last year. But they say up to 30 or 40% of dyslexics also have dyscalculia. This goes beyond simply misreading numbers. It extends to having a difficult time comparing numbers like estimating where they would go on a numberline and a whole host of other things like that. Its fascinating, and it may not be relevant to you, but it might.
@@ellieadams1742
Didn’t think I had it ….until it got worse as I got older… and got confirmation that I had a processing disorder issue
Wow!! I'm 50 and have been struggling with several of these all my life and never knew about all these types of dyslexia!
Which one affects mixing up left and right? My mom and I are both dyslexic and both struggle with mixing up our L vs R. Back when I was dx people didn’t tell you what kind you have much less when she was dx in the 50’s.
My first sign of dyslexia was writing backwards, speech and giving unusual names for objects as my imagination saw it as it was and what it related to for example “needle” i called it a prickle stick remembering names of items has always been difficult for me and to speak it out loud but also I had speech and language difficulties. Last but not least I couldn’t read didn’t learn until big school and couldn’t tell the time until the end of my school years . I no longer see dyslexia as a bad thing to have rather an advantage to life when dealing with the strengths in life and thinking out of the box
I had a similar experience with naming when the long covid I had was bad. It simehow affected the naming part of my brain. I came up with all kinds of funny names for things. I also had the experience of other parts of my brain opening up. I experienced beauty and art more. As I have healed the appreciation of beauty has remained and the analytical part of my brain, which was my forte before, has slowly returned. The brain is so amazing. With the right attitude a weakness always becomes a strength
My son who is dyslexic and left handed always wrote back to front - his brother nicknamed him with his back to front name. He also would call the colour black "awful", and pink " pretty ". He would say " aminal" and "skibetti".
@@tatianagolitsyn675 I love this haha. He’s definitely dyslexic. I did similar too 😅
My husband was diagnosed at a young age. Junior high, 70's he was in a special school. They grouped kids together with all needs. I imagined it confused a lot but he came away with compassion. He has no problem with math. He's great with it. Reading and speaking and being pressured to do it fast affects him. Hes always joked he has SG blood type (special genius) 😊. We've been married 42 years now ❤ he really does 😊. We've started reading through the Bible together. I read and he has great interpretation! He can pretty much build anything. He's doesn't like classroom settings for learning. Take care 🤩 (also some with dyslexia can see 3D into machineries.
Wow Ty for this is actually explained it to me finally!
I was diagnosed with Dyslexia as a kid but I never knew there were so many different forms. When I first started speaking I apparently would not only confuse phonetically similar words (specifically "pinecone/racoon") but also words with opposite meanings like "boy/girl" and "gold/silver," etc. They called it "recall deficit" at the time but could that also be related to dyslexia?
Yes, related.
But gold/silver are opposites? I don't understand why you think they are 'opposites'. Can you clarify?
@@bikerfirefarter7280 Okay, not exactly opposites but distinctly different in phonology and meaning.
Is there such a thing as a dyslexia that's just writing numbers? My kiddo can sound out words and write phonetically, but numbers are confusing to her. My 6 almost 7 year old can't tell if a number is forward or backward and writes most of them backward.
I plan to talk with her pediatrician soon, but I'm wondering what research I can do before hand.
Look up discalcula
Yes its called dyscalculia. We have a video on it and a test for it
That me to some extent when I was young math`s was not good at all. Wish there had been more recognition of it when I was young as I just learnt to live with it.
This is epic! However, in my humble experience, the reverberannesst presentations are definitely a trigger for some.
I am happy to help!
I was diagnosed at 8, I’m dyslexic and I still make mistakes, especially when I’m stressed, tired or being interrupted. Dancing/moving words and swapped letters are my biggest problem. I still practice the tricks I as taught all those years ago and I use them when helping my kids with their homework.
Yes, lack of sleep and stress greatly impair cognitive ability. Since reading is a high level cognitive ability it is the first to go. This is why remedying those things is reccomended in our overcoming dyslexia video. But most people have a hard time making the connection. Good for you for recognizing it.
I've always had trouble reading/speaking out load or spelling words, I'm starting to think that its more of a serious thing.
It is something you can work on. There are a lot of things you can do to improve
Was the same, "they" said I was just shy... wasn't until years later I was diagnosed with Dyslexia. Don't quit on yourself ever, even when it feels like its you against the world 😀
So then what's the difference between APD and Auditory Dyslexia? I have both. so am confused.
It is confusing for sure. Sometimes it seems like the terminology and definitions were designed to make it confusing. Auditory Processing Disorder is very similar. Generally it is defined as difficulty processing sound whereas phonological dyslexia is defined as difficulty processing language. But there is a great deal of crossover.
@@Learning_Success hmmm i guess none of us know much for sure. But thanks!
Thank you for this video. I was a junior in college when I was diagnosed. Then it suddenly made sense why it was so hard to read (especially the assignments). I have the kind where whole words exchange places in a sentence (and often letters within words). It was such a chore to read that I was in in middle school before I read my first book for pleasure (not a school assignment). I am no nearly 60, and it continues to be an issue. I have found that it helps me to keep reading for enjoyment; it seems to get much worse if I do not leisure-read for a period of time.
Knowing I had this 30 years ago would have helped So Very Much.
I'm no child, I'm 66 and often wonder if I have dyslexia. My dad played the melodeon(played by ear) but struggled to play a whole tune start to finish, I inherited his melodeon, and I am the same can only play the first few verses. Yet, I have three brothers that have played in bands.(my spelling and grammar is also atrocious, Maybe I should not use Grammarly to correct.)
Testing nowadays is very scarce. Back in your school days it was nonexistent. Unfortunately your generation didn't get any help in most cases. But you can change your brain at any age. So you can improve if you'd like to
Thank you for taking the time to reply.
@@datadogie We are in the same boat Don! I'm 64 and remember the cone shaped hat!
Dyslexics Untie!
We are stronger together.
Me thinking my daughter has all of these. Overwhelming and do not know how to help her.
Not a professional so don’t take my word as gospel, but you could try seeking out an educational psychologist or someone like that. But keep in mind in may not be Dyslexia. Like for I’ve known people who’ve been originally misdiagnosed with Dyslexia when they actually have Dysgraphia. Also test for ADHD as the two occur a lot together. Hope this helps somehow… good luck with it…
@@Eclipse-mf6hc we are currently doing ADD testing with doctor and seeing an optometrist for specific eye conditions. We will see just hard seeing child struggle
Yes all of these are comorbid. Dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia all are different expressions of similar underlying problems. They will also cause Attention problems. Building up fundamental skills often alleviate the focus problems as well. There's a link to our free trial if you'd like to try the Learning Success system and see if it is right for you.
@@alittlesouthwindfarm3074 that’s smart, ur crossing out all things that she could have so that there’s no doubt if she gets a diagnosis. Good luck with ur daughter, I hope you’re able to come to a conclusion (also as a random side note, I’m not sure about others, but testing for Dyslexia is going to be extremely tiresome, especially IF she does have ADD (Aka inattentive ADHD), so if it’s possible maybe try breaking it up during the day (Im actually trying that for myself as I need to be retested, u know for a life long condition), if the assessor agrees, of course)- again I’m not a professional, only talking from personal experiences
Diagnosed as a teen in the 70 and 80's Had one teacher that really took interest and tried to help me, the school wanted to put me in a special school with children that had downs etc. Battled with math and taking down notes from the board. Passed math's and Commercial pilots license. Thank heavens for spell checkers etc. Learnt mind mapping and that helped tremendously.
Thank you very much . I am sixty . I knew I had dyslexia Didn't know there were different ones . Back then they said you just have a hook up wrong . So I wrote ,I read everything that interests me .,an draw sometimes backwards . It's all good . Glad your helping people like myself. If they keep at it you can train yourself to excel. God bless you
"Have" dyslexia sounds like a disease. I AM dyslexic. I dont "have" autism. I AM autistic. I don't "have" woman. I AM a woman. Words matter.
I agree with you. But there are The Elect who will condescend to inform us that *we* are wrong because The Elect regard adjectival forms as “othering” or derogatory-instead of merely descriptive. 🙄 🤦🏻♀️ I say we are entitled to define ourselves and our tribes as we want (for example, Aspie).
Lol reminds me of a stand up I saw, "I don't suffer from cerebral palsy. I HAVE cerebral palsy. I suffer from people" Not the same but similar in spirit. Words and how we use them matter
Tell that to the French when you ask how old they are.
Another way to consider it is that it's different ways of processing; We are not our processes but we can have different ways of processing,
so to say I have a dyslexic brain rather then I am a dyslexic brain, would work 🤔😂
@curiouskat3650 Spanish too.
