Thank you, I have Dyslexia and Dyscalculia and work in Engineering Despite the fact that I can easily spot small errors in large datasets and have an affinity with looking at problems from multiple angles and connecting disparate ideas to form novel concepts, I still dare not mention these dis/abilities at work for fear of being ostracized Despite the HR talk of DEI I know most of my cohort are boomers and it would make everyone uncomfortable if I mentioned it To a British boomer you just have to get on with it, don't draw enemy fire and for Dog's sake don't mention the war

Go back to teaching how to think stop teaching what to think stop setting them up to fail by sending them on with no understanding of when or why theyd should and will use what youve taught them outside the classroom bc yoi inadvertently tell their minds that information is stuff they dony need to retain on top of nit giving them the reasoning to be able to recall it when needed bc there's no link to its use being relevant to situations past the specific one it was taught around you know that irrelevant one thay they shrugged pff to begin with

This made me want to cry tears of relief I’m not officially diagnosed with dyslexia, but I’ve had several professionals point out that could definitely be what I have brIm 39, and I struggled my whole life to learn the way out school system wanted us to My grades were bad because of it I dropped out of college because I simply refused to take English because I fight with reading comprehension I can’t always interpret what I’m reading, so I always dropped the class But I can figure out structures of languages and enjoy learning them I’m also a big art person and prefer to do abstract because I struggle to get the image from my brain to the canvas brIt’s just so nice to have some clue of how my brain works and that there is nothing wrong with me I’m currently in the military and that affects some of the things they feel you need, but I can analyze a scenario and see what response and emotion is needed, especially in high stress, real life moments

It took me half my life to understand, dyslexic, and ,yes what they say is true, I like 3D thinking, today I am ok with this gift
Comment from : @stevendutoit9308

Sad thing is some ppl will have to figure it out on their own if not diagnosed ant a early age
Comment from : @CupNoodlezNart

Putting the past and the future together and presenting it to people, even some people will be like wow I never thought of that or some people will be like what does that have to do with that? Some people are excited to learn and see things differently, and some people hate us for it

I am dyslexic and have ADHD and I go to middle school next year and I and so scared cuz my teacher right now lets my move and have fidgets in class and I won't be able to in middle school
Comment from : @HavilandWoodson-i5e

Growing up I had no idea I had dyslexia and neither did my teachers They treated me poorly because they all thought I was just problematic and didn’t want to learn or be in school Eventually, they gave up on me around middle school, and I fell into the wrong path Fortunately, I’m now more aware of my condition and I’m doing everything I can to succeed, knowing what I know now

All that ever got me was failed Kenny garden first grade seventh grade and fail my GED test 3 times Now I'm unemployable because I don't have a education Luckily I became a truck driver and I do make a good living But that's not what I really wanted to Bixby so dyslexia has no benefit I'm sorry
Comment from : @tinman6922

im dyslexic but I specialize on particular stuff, My mind understands that left & right are same thing, like both republican & democrats are same, basically saying both left & right are important, our left & right are one and same❤❤
Comment from : @VanessaIrisDeGuzman

I really want to share my expenrience with everyone whose kids struggle with dyslexia! brI am a mom of an 8 years old boy, he has got dyslexia, as we recently got to knowbrOf course, I started to research all over the internet, the communities, the programs which might help to overcome the issue so he doesn’t struggle in school and we tried this program called Grafari (by Constructor Tech)brThey are’t very popular, as the app is designed specifically for dyslexia kids, the app isn’t colorful like many other applications hence it doesnt irriate the adhd or dyslexia struggling kidsbrLong story short, I have been seeing a huge progress lately, and can’t be happier, as I thought dyslexia is gonna affect my kid and he will be lauph at but things look much brighter now

Comment from : @treytholen873

Well it feels like a curse
Comment from : @csharpe5787

How about finding a new term to describe or rather to categorize this type of brain? That would immediately change perceptions What if dyslexia was no longer "diagnosed" like a disease, but was "identified"? "Dys" in greek has a negative connotation It is a prefix to indicate that something is in bad shape Therefore dys-lexia means that your words (lexia) are in bad shape
Comment from : @marinastamati6752

Comment from : @nohumanst6694

I’ve always felt like people have roughly the same brain function, but with different specialisations This obviously isn’t entirely accurate, but I can see why a person with ADHD might have an advantage over a neurotypical person in a certain situation, but I never understood, and still don’t, understand dyslexia brbrAm I to take it that they see words like objects to twist and flip around and that’s why they can’t learn the sequences of letters that for certain words?
Comment from : @henrikaugustsson4041

I have dyslexia…
Comment from : @malmckie

Me, finding out in my 50s that the vision therapy I had at 12 was for dyslexia On top of my ADHD and other neurodivergences, it was another puzzle piece that made sense
Comment from : @GenXGamerGirl_

do people with neurological disorders have time blindness cuz i never know what day we're in or what time it is or how many hours have passed this is also why i struggle to do daily tasks on time like eating food, i forgot eating 3 meals a day just me?
Comment from : @jo_jo789

I didn’t find out I had dyslexia until I was in college Always struggled in school and teachers said it was due to me “not trying hard enough” I wasn’t bad at learning things but getting it to stick and understanding it in the first place is hard for me Wish I knew sooner, would have probably done a lot better at school

Ive experienced these changes as an adult dealing with neurological issuesbrSuddenly having an understanding of how all the information I accumulated my entire life actually fits together has left myself and others absolutely gobsmacked

I just found out in dyslexic today and now a lot of things are starting to make sense about my life
Comment from : @TheHappyMid

At school all i got was hes lazy hes got no concentration had to go to special needs classes and all the stigma that goes with it and even when I left school I couldn't read properly It wasn't until I was probably 20 and I sat down and made myself read lord of the rings and I got into reading that way But to this day I still can't read properly and my writing's terrible but I'm good at my job I'm scaffolder so I problem solve everyday Which I think helps me cuz I can see the picture of what I need to put up before I have to do it
Comment from : @andybez5169

This video is so good!! 🔥I relate so much It is hard to explain to other how I see and feel things but do not see letters in a straight line, and spelling has always been a struggle, but I am a whole picture, feeling and picturing person I comprehend things better than many in a different way seeing, feeling, taking it all in

If reading is only 6000 years old, how is it there's sites like Gobekli Tepi, and other sites, with primitive writing? These sites are well over 10,000 years old

My daughter was diagnosed as dyslexic as a youngster and my wife began to notice the same traits and behaviours in me After 40 years of not knowing what my brain did with words I now understand my coping mechanisms

This makes me wonder if the same goes for Audio Processing Disorder, which is—very basically—dyslexia for speech

Comment from : @Anonuser-xz6yy

I've had many discussions with teachers stating I do not have a learning disabilityI just don't find the established general teaching methods effective to how I think "But that's the hard way of doing it" I heard so many times and I'd reply "it's the only way I can do it"

Intelligence often spiritually described as a way to break down pieces of a problem or puzzles and solve them, wisdom is to be able to see the whole and know how to understand it
Comment from : @osmsiddiqi_photo

I was diagnosed with dyslexia when at the age of 14 Now I am 15 years into a software development career which I started autodidactically Never let it hold you back if they would diagnose you with dyslexia Funny thing is that writing code lights up the linguistic area of the brain more than any other area Natural language is just so illogical many times, software never is Why should you be good at something that has many flaws in it self?

Comment from : @crystalmaltby3202

Sometimes I wonder, how we have come to accept frameworks of existing Frameworks to distinguish the potential of people that will fit those very framework LSATS, SATS, GRE, GMAT, etc etc There are so many tests made by people who believe in the veracity and credibility of the constructed framework to bring success to society But what is this framework? A set of assumptions that works for the majority I am sure the math verbal heavy screening/entrance tests for all institutions would look very different if majority population had dyslexia, or adhd, or any other mental "conditions" (as society deems it today, as we, as I deem it today) We would be tested on spatial skills, or perhaps qualitative thinking, or tests with no temporal aspect And as we all know humans existing believing in the assumptions we have currently has not brought any good - there have been by far too many downsides Yet, we approach, I approach life, success, the credibility of my knowledge using the same rules, fitting the same frameworks Why? Given how much we know, we should have let gone of these assumptions, these meaningless screening tests, KPIs for success, etc etc long back

Comment from : @EugeneMolloy-r8n

Dyslexia isn't a learning disability, you need High level reasoning, problem solving skills and creativity to learn When you build up a whole education system on test taking and parroting, you will end up with integration issues
Comment from : @rrni2343

My uncle had cancer and required brain surgery to remove tumors Recuperating after his operation, they gave him a menue so he could order dinner And he couldn't read it It eventually came back but the doctors were suprized because they didnt know that was a possable result from his operation This explained a little why it was significant to them
