I have a bunch of learning disabilities It's been a struggle to just get basic things done for everyday life Especially in college, i have been held back twice elementary and I have to wait 2 years to continue my degree because I could not past the prequets classes needed to move on in the degree I'm 26 in a classroom with people who are much younger than me and yet are still more in advance in understanding the material that I ever will be It's really discouraging I just keep telling myself "I can't quit now I can do this" But sadly, i've been struggling with believing that still Thank you for sharing your story it's good to know that there are many of us struggling with these issues Because I want to know what happens to people like me In life as disabilities are not something that can just be fix They are forever with us Until the day we die all we can do is just adapt to everything that happens to us

Sometimes I have to rehearse words in my head and write down on hand if need be before I even start a presentation, testimony and so Sometimes when I speak sometimes I forgot what words to say and fumble a bit I can say it's normal for me

Comment from : @thebadgerman1211

I hide it that I'm slow because I have some family members that would judge me, and that is why I don't tell anyone
Comment from : @ToneyArtAndOtherVideos

Thank you so much for making this video It's really helped me understand what my son is going through
Comment from : @heathergault4122

I have a learning disability too, I don’t know what it is but my conditions are, bad grammar and spelling Also things I say don’t make sense, such as, when I speak my words can sometimes be jumbled, so usually I have to think before I speak to make sure I say the words correctly Also I suck at mathbrbrAlso following instructions can be hard for me, I sometimes need basic understanding and need to be shown first, I won’t understand if there isn’t an example for me to follow

I have a learning disabilitie and still struggle on things that are frustrating, I had it when I was a kid
Comment from : @carolbrown5263

My dad was dyslexic back in the '50's and '60's, and they tested his IQ He would test genius level, so they assumed that he was so stubborn that he would refuse to learn how to read While dyslexia is pervasive, as she said, it took him until his twenties to actually enjoy reading
Comment from : @remdog1138

Thank you for sharing! I know this is a 7 year old video, but you mention a book Did you write your book? I'd be interested in reading it

How to get tested for a learning disability?? My partner needs to be diagnosed We are trying to find resources, in virginia My partner has this and was abused by his former spouse Resources for testing? He does not make much money He is an adult and his former spouse would mock him daily and shame him

I'm 52 and I'm still dealing with this I failed high school because I was "stupid" brbrI've been in school since 2016 studying herbal medicine which I've had a passion for and I learned today that I failed to earn my diplomabrbrLast week, I failed my nutrition classes too I feel like I'm in high school all over again
Comment from : @myufostory689

Oh this broke my heart I was in a similar situation as a child my mother was told I would never succeed in life but my personality would get me through life I struggled and I was never helped in school I hate every minute in school the humiliation and trauma has stayed with me for life I went to university aged 41 and was finally diagnosed with dyslexia in the final year, and graduated in an honours degree without any assistance I now know that it doesn’t reflect our intelligence others make us feel stupid which we aren’t 😘

Comment from : @andrewsaunderson6129

Katherine, when teachers blame the child, it means it's very bad teaching Teachers should realise that there are many different ways of teaching
Comment from : @pookab5905

thank you, this helped me to understand my kid better and to keep encouraging them for literally a million hours they have been putting into their studies with just a 'normal' results, at least they know that their hard work I have always appreciate it, and not just focusing on the remarkable score itself
Comment from : @rusmanhl56

Comment from : @kalvinbaatjies2678

When I was in the 4th grade I was put in a special Ed class due to a comprehension disability People don’t understand the mental health struggles that came with feeling isolated and separated at a young age Every morning I had to walk to the other side of the school ALONE while my cousins and friends all went to the regular Ed hallways But I got back into regular Ed in 9th grade🎉! I changed my IEP to IGP, I increased my Lexile score, I took honors classes and graduated HS class of 2021

Comment from : @leeevesheher358

I also have a learning disability but I also have ADHD anxiety depression and PTSD so it was really hard for me to to learn in school I would always lose track in school so they had to put me in a special ed class and I hated it so much I would get bullied people would laugh and say haha your special Ed why are you stupid why do you forgot things so quickly why are you so slow just hurtful mean things the teacher had 0 faith in me that I would graduate fifth grade because I was behind my reading and I would get things slower than the other students so I would compare myself to the other students and I would say why is this person getting so I felt like no one got me I felt alone sad and afraid to tell people that I am special Ed and why it takes me longer to learn I still haven't told anyone this so this so this is my first time saying this in public

Comment from : @nelsondelarosaacosta7249

Powerful! Thank you for sharing! It was really difficult to share but how beautiful! All the negative untrue comments you received were all about the person making the comment and not about you I appreciate the tips you shared Life is too short to care about what other people think; In the end, what they think or say really won't matter, for you Love what you said about using criticism to motivate you to be the best you can be I may have an undiagnosed disability Thanks again!
Comment from : @elmaterial8670

I’m 17 and in 10th Been held back before I have dislexia, ADHD and dysgraphia I couldn’t even read a book until 3rd grade What I want people to know is that having a learning disability is not a bad thing, it just means you have to try harder People that have learning disabilities are warriors I never give up on myself and nor should you You just have to say it in your mind that I am capable of achieving anything I put my mind to While you might be hating school you have an entire beautiful life ahead of you NEVER GIVE UP you can be anything you want in this world
Comment from : @mileseddy56

Im 18 and I got diagnosed with dyslexia few weeks before turning 17 And I really just didn't understand that I've always struggled in school I've was told to just fucus harder and more Seeing other students getting the best grades and them getting a results they like, while I'm here I have to put more effort to just get a bad results made me frustrated I now have anxiety and depression because if it brbrThe teachers always ask why don't I ask when I need help I like can't do because it's embarrassing for being the the only one struggling and asking for help in class And feeling a lot of shame I do care what other people think about me, and I don't was them to know that I'm that what I'm slow learner brbrIt gets exhausting working hard and not getting the results I want, feeling like dumb and stupid, failing things, not feeling like you belong there and to know that I'm gonna make even more mistakes than people without LD

Comment from : @tymirdumas4678

To all of you, keep hope alive , I learned a long time ago , we just a learning difference and we can add apt, but it's important that the people around us know what we have and learn how to support us Blessings to all of us we are all gifted in some way Take that and run with it
Comment from : @atonsol7514

Comment from : @everythingwithalexkay

So inspiring! I’m 30 yrs old and just found out last year I’m dyslexic Grew up my whole life thinking I was stupid I listened to what teachers said about me and just decided not to bother trying I did go to college but it took me 7 years to get a bachelors degree at Mizzou So I can’t tell you how much this means to mean to hear your story
Comment from : @MuckFen

I can somewhat relate as have the same problem with speech I know what i want to say but it doesnt come out how i intended I forget words and wonder if people think i am stupid I am fine with reading and writing though Interviews are absolute hell so I have been doing the same kind of work for the whole of my life never growing Socialising just doesnt happen Up until recently i preferred not to speak at all in meetings or contribute to discussions, now I am somewhat 'out' I do sometimes contribute
Comment from : @maiaautumne2167

You are amazing Thank you so much
Comment from : @enjoylife4life

There’s far more help now than ever in our schools but it’s still difficult for children because of how different they feel Good luck to you in whatever you do in your life Life is hard no matter what It’s how you approach it and the encouragement others give to people that struggle to give them the confidence to achieve things in their own lives
Comment from : @anthonycraddock6739

I grew up with learning disability and petrified of reading out loud and have to do you like current there’s presentations are in grade school after high school petrified and I suck at test… But I can read really well now and spell pretty good a lot better than I did before
