I always thought there was something wrong with me or stupid, not able to learn like others
Comment from : @SheilaCoffey75

Thanks for this video, I have a question, my son has the same problem, he is very smart, especially in mathematics, but his problem with reading and writing, how can I help him solve this problem and will his situation improve with time?

Good job
Comment from : @Wing_Driver_CO

Many of these things are resolved by repetition I have Dyslexia, and when in grade school, a teacher noticed that most of my spelling mistakes were with the "tion" suffix on words Instead of making me spell all the different words with t-i-o-n again and again, just made me spell t-i-o-n many more times helped tremendously If you have trouble with definitely, spell it over and over until you can spell it without thinking (or panicking)brbrRegarding reading, read out loud whenever you can I read a massive amount to my daughter when she was young, including many "chapter books" including for example the Percy Jackson series She loved being on my lap, and was totally non-jugemental Today, I am typically complimented for my reading, and when tested in Grade 3, her reading was beyond the test range of the test, and thought to be university level

I do that with information, I always type infromation, I know that’s wrong but I always write it Or I write the other spelling of a word, like wait for weight But I will never read them wrong, so I know them
Comment from : @ChristianMWehner

I'm not diagnosed but I think I am and it dawned on me when my previous manager said that I might have dyslexia since she's dyslexic as well I'm fine with reading and spelling but, I'm struggling with memorizing
Comment from : @shannahherl7869

i have dyslexia also from the 1970s in 2nd grade i was tested with a doctor
Comment from : @neildummer9313

I’ve recently been diagnosed with ADHD at 55 and now I have realised I have the same struggles as someone who is dyslexic All of the points in this video I struggle with and I’ve struggled for years Thinking I’m just stupid or slow
Comment from : @drewmusicvideos

Comment from : @abdulhamoui4376

I have dyslexia and yes reading out loud to a group was difficult I became a preschool teacher and became a special education teacher as a substitute teacher in elementary school; I got really good at reading out loud to children text books and other materials It was still a struggle and if I became distracted or tired (or some ‘off’ days) my performance was clumsy and it was more difficult to use analytical thinking But in general I have greatly improved since high school and the first years in college I have developed many practical learning “tricks” and strategies to compansate for the challenges associated with the condition neurotypical individuals call a “disability” Dyslexia will never go away in and those individuals that say that it can be “cured” do not understand what they are saying Neurotypical and dyslexic individuals is like comparing ducks with fish (fish being the typical and ducks being the dyslexic Both share the same pond but use it differently within their abilities
Comment from : @eldonjanzen9822

I have dyslexia but I love reading I am slow, though I find the best way for me to read is to have a physical book and listen to the audio book at the same time I think it's called emersive (crap, I spelt that wrong) reading But it is not easy to have both at the same time
Comment from : @elwynelvy

Your comment about how you "worry that your kid might not think you're as great as he thinks you are" really hit home with mebrI have never thought it could be dyslexia until recently, having a son made me realise that reading out loud / public is actually a huge issue for me, I have to repeat words or whole pages just to make it make sense and I'm reading a book for a 2 year old! brAs parents we can only do our best and I'm sure your child will thank you for that 🫶🏻
Comment from : @gedsmith1821

I always had trouble with my alphabet and times tables I also had difficulty with sense of direction and left and right
Comment from : @blbrightlights564

😩i just had a meltdown (my chest got tight and my hands are sweaty) trying to pick my fall classes because they restructured the program and it is not dyslexic friendly 😢man it sucks being dyslexic in a world that doesn't care about people with dyslexia
Comment from : @dl3310

Definitely is a word I have always struggled to spell and I still can't spell it Predictive text did it for me I typed Def and up it popped Def is as far as I get Defenantly is usually how I spell it I struggle to put the sound to the letters
Comment from : @wsbob

Try being a welder and having dyslexia lol it sucks I gotta measure like 8 times and i still screw it up lolbrI hate reading out loud i just cant do it
Comment from : @DerekGraham777

If your child is old enough You should have a sit down talk about why you’re going through it, it will help your child understand that everybody is different and everybody learns or processes stuff at a different pace I feel talking about these kinds of things will help our children be more caring to others and see their parents in a beautiful different way I have to have this talk with my 7 year old son
Comment from : @bellatrixdola1586

Very interesting and helpful We're getting my 8 year old son tested soon, and it brought up in my mind the possibility that I might be mildly dyslexic as well He has the exact same issues I had at his age, but I was never tested Great at reading (he's already getting caught secretly reading books in class, just like I used to) but I couldn't (and still can't) spell consistently Mentioning definately definetily definitely - that's me refusing to look it up and just trying variations until one of them doesn't have a red squigly squiggily squiggly line was dead on DEF IN AT LEE? DEF IN AT AH LEE? DEF AN AT ALY? I mean, what kind of word is this? Four or five or syllabuls, syllables? I've also never solved a single word problme problm word problem in my life Not one SChool school was very painful and I remember it as a prison I'm now a Unvirsity University professor sothis isn't a death centance sentance sentence oh for fucks sack SAke Seke Sake Sigh

I wrote a speech for my daughters wedding when I looked at it I though this is going to work out I stood up in front of the new family and started All the words I was sure I had memorized were suddenly foreign, I started paused stuttering and finally gave up and turned the speaking over to my wife I felt embarrassed and crushed welcome to my world

Comment from : @Chris_Fx_Fi

i can read in my head really well, since i was 4, it is my first love and i have a good speed reading out loud no go zone including speaking in public as i need notes my writing is illegable and varies greatly from one hour to the next, its illegable even to me after a day or so spelling is my bane, as is punctuation some words just slip out of my head, more so as i tire in the evening i cannot remember peoples names if i have only met them a few times, i have to ask a score of times before i can remember many names, difficult names take longer i cannot cope with 24hr clock as i get tired in the evenings, which is strangly dyslexia not disnumeria, according to the educational phycologist, not remembering what the numbers mean is the same as forgeting a spelling repeatedly also i have degree leavel maths modules

Comment from : @Dyslexic-Artist-Theory-on-Time

Everything you said is me Do you also see words that are not there? For example, you read a message/sign and you make it completely different in your head, because you have added words while reading it? 😂this happens to me all the time 😢

Does this effect only numbers, I've struggled my whole life with math, I have a hard time doing even simple math in my head, numbers get jumbled and I can't visualize the process, I have to write everything out Games like cribbage have helped with addition

I’m not picking on you, but some of these things you said about dyslexia are not true, because I have dyslexia and I have none of the problems that you have I am overjoyed and excited to tell you that my recall information when I grab something randomly, I can recall vacuum with periods in a Thomas

Comment from : @stonerdrums

I am 79 years old No one knew what Dyslexia was when I was a child, so I ended up with glasses, which did nothing and made things worse At 18 I figured it was my responsibility to figure out what was wrong if I was going to college So, once a week I went to the local book store and purchased a book off the New York Times 10 Best Seller List I made myself finish one book each week for over a year What I was doing was memorizing the English language I have 2 degrees in law and psychology and 2 minor in accounting and computer science I still have problems with numbers I kept repeating reading until I understood what I was reading But I am a fast reader as I see words as pictures I created and ran two companies for 20 years I am now retired living on the side of a volcano in The Andes Valley of Ecuador and still doing work for the government I am living proof, that a child giving the appearance of being dumb, can memorize the whole English language and read fast, but it takes work and patience And still, when I am tired, my letters do move I also read backward and upside down And many Dyslexics also have Aphantasia, of which I was made aware 4 years ago God knows how many other little flaws I have in my brain that I did not notice in all of my years I see memories as photographs and I cannot visualize anything I have not seem before I cannot imagine having such a unique life had I not had Dyslexia and Aphantasia There are many versions of Dyslexia, some simple and some detailed The idea is not to allow it to get in your way I applaud you because many Dyslexics just refuse to even attempt to read You are most likely a very understanding Father
Comment from : @marlenefunk2137

I read fine but my writing is virtually illegible to anyone unless I write really slow and my hand cramps up brbrNo spelling issues unless it’s a word I don’t recognise Though sometimes I can’t remember if a spelling is American or BritishbrbrI struggle just to think the right words to reply to people verbally And end up offending it angering everyone And typing/writing I’m very literal Might just be autism in my case thoughbrbrMy memory is kinda shot but I’ve had head trauma before so that might be itbrbrAs stated before yea I have issues talking and choosing words and as you said it’s not just a dyslexic thing brbrConclusion: probably not dyslexic but borderline due to other possible issues

Comment from : @neilharrison9144

I hate sub titles Ever I watch the movie or read the sub titles I can't do both I'm 53 and feel my dyslexia been getting worth At 46 after driving taxi for 20 plus years and leaving school at young age because my parents and head master said school was a waste of time for me I went to uni and got degree in nursing I only worked RN for couple years, as I had accident But those couple years I really enjoy and my patients love me But management said my planning and organising my shift was crap and my hand over to next nurse I had to write down all names of medication in the drug room we had to count and used Google to learn how to say them

Comment from : @SusyRoss

Physics departments house a lot of dyslexics (including myself) It’s a cognitive tradeoff more than a learning disability
Comment from : @padrickbeggs7071

Very relateble, starting to feel how hard this can make life now in uni, got more than inattentive adhd to deal with, lucky me 😅
Comment from : @Anirossa

I'm dyslexic as well, and I feel like I'm a little too hard on myself sometimes The same thing came up in your video - somebody watching it does not actually see you searching for words in your head :)

Comment from : @kukundamajorie3299

YOU have explained dyslexia beutifully and what about our gifts to see Beyond the obvious …hence the boredom in the mundane approach to learning … it’s circular
Comment from : @lolitaromero3133

Greetings this video is so so appreciated As mainstream Education expects everyone to learn the same way ,unfortunately not every person has the same ability to learn comprehend and adapt , therefore fall by the wayside ,it is stressful in the world with intellectual inabilities, much appreciated

“Let’s go around the room and read” is the most terrifying thing to hear when you are dyslexic
Comment from : @kokalti

Thank you for sharing this I have always struggled, especially with reading, and was still somehow top of my class so no one (including me) suspected I could be dyslexic (other than my mom, who kept that to herself) I speak and write a lot professionally and have gotten skilled at it—but it’s exhausting!!!
Comment from : @jkevinparker

Speaking Yes, often I mispronounce words and I have a tendency to leave out words skipping to the next thinking I had said something when I had not Procrastination is a big one I organize things in my mind, but a failure to launch living in worlds within worlds in the cranial kingdom The ADHD mind having multiple projects seems to make my mind a little bit more happy But it can cause anxiety because it seems like you can't get anything done
Comment from : @danmalone5365

Spelling is a weird one I can recognize most of the time when the word is incorrectly spelled But I can't visualize the word in my mind to spell it's strange So say in a lecture taking notes is just out of the question but recording the lecture and playing it back in a environment with absolutely no distractions is the only way I would be able to take notes It seems visual meaning text and audible for the most part works fairly well
Comment from : @danmalone5365

Thank you for this video I hit everything on the list brI am trying to study to be a nyc notary public as you can imagine it's kicking my butt I am using index cards but still struggle I also have ADHD So any suggestions on how to study will greatly be appreciated Thank you in advance

Nice video, I can certainly relate to everything on your list
Comment from : @fishstixfishingadventures

I read without any issues But I have all the other signs of dyslexia… brbrI might struggle sometimes to focus on my reading but all my troubles are at writing, speaking, cognitive, working memory and yes remembering words
Comment from : @dodger1x

Yep I'm just like that I can read a page and think what did I just read If I try to speedread everything seems scrambled Studying algebra was difficult too The concepts seemed easy but when I tried to work problems the sequences and order would get scrambled in my head

Comment from : @shemiahwalker

Yup In the 60’s & 70’s they would berate and beat on us, calling us dumb and lazy That’s why I learned to hide my deficiencies with humor
Comment from : @Hootyhoo-jq9vq

As I get older the more I find out (Thank God) these symptoms can lesson to a great degree with effort I still remember in high school not being able to read or write anything to now starting my graduate studies Do not let dyslexia hold you back
