- Dyslexia Awareness Part 1: About Dyslexia
Celebrities including Sir Richard Branson, Keira Knightley, Orlando Bloom and Maggie Aderin-Pocock join expert teachers from two world leading dyslexia schools to share their wisdom and expertise in these inspirational Dyslexia Awareness Training films produced by Made By Dyslexia. Millfield School UK and Schenck School USA are both pioneers in the field of dyslexia and the first schools in their respective countries to successfully support dyslexic students and focus on dyslexic strengths. These films have been incorporated into 5 Dyslexia Awareness Training modules designed to help teachers, educators and parents understand dyslexia, both its strengths and challenges, gain essential knowledge in how to recognise and support it, and create a dyslexia inclusive classroom.

I am Dyslexic. And no matter how much I achieve, and how smart people say I am, I still feel stupid. I struggle every day to remember the small things, to read and to understand something the way 80% of other people understand it. I still get it wrong. When people who don't know me seem confused that I don't get it I feel stupid. I miss the bits in-between, the hidden meanings, the literary omniscience escapes me. Every day I struggle. But. I have a gift, a perspective that rewards me professionally. I solve problems with ease, I understand things that people struggle to comprehend. And despite feeling silly and confused by everything at times I wouldn't change it. Who would I be without it? I know that I would be fundamentally different. I may feel stupid sometimes but its only in my head and I love my silly brain. Dyslexia Is not a disability, It is a cognitive difference.
ir doesnt exist
I’m the same, back in school I didn’t know I was dyslexic( late 80s early 90s ) it was only until I went back to college in 2019 now I love my crazy brain, it makes me laugh out load at how I see a word or a instruction lol 😂 it makes me stand out in a good way, I pick up on things that no. Dyslexic people don’t. It truly is my girly 🙏🏻
@@tracygiven2984 it doesnt exist. You just skipped classes, ie. you didnt pay attention to details and then didnt understand how to solve something
I know I'm gonna be an amazing therapist but the part of getting into college is so hard for my ADHD and dyslexia 😭😭😭😭
Wow! That’s beautifully written, David. Thanks for sharing such a positive perspective 👍
I’m dyslexic and the second they mentioned day dreaming, I just day dreamed for the rest of the video. Cheers brain
Haha
Lol my husband is dyslexic and he day dreams a lot!
Why do we do that OMG 😂
@@prettylittlevegan7181 😂 so true.
I am 51 years old and I didn’t even know what was wrong with me until I was diagnosed at 25 years old by a coworker who's son was dyslexic. The coworker had gone through extensive training about dyslexia to understand and teach his son. He gave my two books - Josh : a boy with dyslexia and The Gift of Dyslexia. First 2 books I ever read cover to cover.
My mind freezes from processing words, I over heat, begin to sweat and have even passed out before trying too hard. It is near impossible for me to read out loud. They laughed at me in junior high and high school when called on to read out loud. Teachers just stopped calling on me. Back then they didn’t diagnose dyslexia in school. You can’t even imagine the childhood trauma it caused me.
Though persistent focus, discipline, memorization of words and relentless repetitiveness I’ve taught myself to read and comprehend what I read. It requires all my attention and concentration - it is hard work. Forget about spelling or pronunciation of a word I have not seen before. I have to pretend to be writing to tell my right from my left - I am left handed. When I see a single letter alone I have to think hard to remember and say it out loud to recall how it is pronounced. Numbers are constantly reversed. I am super good at math, science, engineering and lots of other things though… it is fucked up, frustrating and extremely embarrassing.
As one of the people in this video said.. knowing is the most powerful thing you can give someone with dyslexia. It would have changed me entire life if I knew before 8 or 9 years old when the distress, confusion and trauma began.
Dear HeavyMetalpedal, thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences. It is very important people who have dyslexia and educator to read these stories. You may want to read the book Creative, Successful, Dyslexic by Margaret Rooke. I do not usually say this because I'm not cool," Rock On"
Im am 51 and left handed and I went undetected til i was 11 and back in our day it was just not dealt with in school let alone a parent.,,,traumas never go away but neither does learning and I have had to educate myself and discipline myself to move head...It is a daily struggle no matter what age but today there is so much information for parents and children to make a life changing difference and school does not have to be a life traumatic nightmare anymore ❤
I’m crying right now because this was me in school and I know exactly what this felt like.
thats normal mate. Dyslexia doesn't exist
I’m dyslexic and I’m a teacher. We can do anything!
I'm dyslexic and I also want to become a teacher
@@godhaninisarg1570 then let absolutely nothing stand in your way 👍🏻
Which grade you teach?
@@nisreen year 6. Tricky year but worth while to see the children progress.
Now at 37 I just stumbled upon some information video about dyslexia and dyscalculia. It was insane how clearly they were describing me. It was like someone just opened a barrier I had subconscious created to protect me emotionally from my education career. I sobbed. It was such a relief. I never thought that I was stupid but I felt like everyone thought I was. I didn't realize how damaging this was for me. I can tell you this, school was hell. I actually love learning and reading (learned to love I as an adult, and I am incredibly slow), but tests, timed exams, math, english class...the system we created school to function in.... So much anxiety. I thought I had a a sweat gland issue, got special prescription antiperspirant...it was freaking anxiety.
6:08 I love how they give us 13 secs to read and pause here AND have it be in dyslexic friendly font, AND NO SOUND DISTRACTIONS.
😊 really a warm sweet touch of love there.
It is heartwarming to see such positive content about dyslexia that focuses on a positive educational environment. There are so many more tools available to educators now and it's great to see learners advocate for what they need, which is more available and attainable than ever.
I was diagnosed as dyslexic at age 14. My parents were told not to tell me. Fortunately for me my parents disagreed and told me. Suddenly i understood ... i wasn't as i had been told so often and believed stupid. the thing i was fighting and struggling with had a name and for the first time i could see it for what it was. something i could manage and defeat and later embrace.
I started to cry cuz they r so loving about this and know how to help
Thank u💕
‘ no one suffers when we build classrooms to support dyslexic learners... in fact everyone benefits from it’😍great video, thanks to all those for making it
I'm definitely made by dyslexia. Seeing the bigger picture and finding solutions to problems is so needed. In fact I rarely can't find a solution to the problem. I actually get confused and stressed when I can't find a solution easily. Dosnt happen very often at all!
Possible helps for dyslexics - rose tinted spectacles , yes teally.
An optician helped his daughter with this .
Stark black and white can be distracting.
Double line spaced printing on pastel paper may help.
Using pictures to teach.
Not teaching similar words together.
The great thing about these methods is that they work well for most people not only dyslexics.
Also some of our greatest innovators have been dyslexic.
They seem to question more when learning rather than learning by rote.
This vid made me more proud of my dyslexia!
EVERY teacher should watch this video!
Thank you! Please help us spread the word and share with your schools, friends and family!
Antonietta Quinn or be like my teachers and say you won’t make it in life that’s what my teachers say
My Local Independent Council Supports Home Education. Councillor Kevin Griffiths cares about children and families. We have Google Classroom. Cambridge University online. I got my daughter to love reading when she could not read in school, by asking her to write down every word (three times) she could not read. Then getting her to spell the word. Even though she forgot the spelling the next day. It really helped her to read. They need to do this in school. And get rid of the boring reading books. They sent me to sleep, and really bored my daughter.
I also got my daughter to sing the stories. Using colourful reading books from the Library.
Now my daughters English is better than mine when I left school. I was taught ITA English Twaddle. One day I hope to get an apology and compensation for my dreadful education.
I used to write for London Mums Magazine. I would love to Interview parents about their children's struggles in school. And help create change. No child should feel stupid. Dyslexia is most certainly a GIFT!
I have added Richard Bransons very sad childhood story to my BLOG, together with my daughters exciting Home Education Journey. Dork Diaries author supports Home Education.

Yes thay should I'm 39 school was not fun for someone like me in the 1980 and 1990s .
Yes we see the world differently, we need to be taught differently to learn
100%! Unfortunately, schools often refuse to provide the recognition and support, we've helped thousands of parents to fight against this but there are still so many more out there. It should not be so hard to get the right support!
100% agree with this!
I found out I was dyslexic at 34 years old. I had a really tough time throughout my school years.
Diagnosed at age 40, the worst part of school was the insistence that I was slow, or not trying hard enough. Grades constantly reinforced the notion I was stupid or underperforming. I believed the authority figures telling me my struggles were tied to my poor habits and I found ways to hide disabilities. The embarrassment ran deep and weighed on my self worth, compared to others I perceived as more talented. My dyslexia diagnosis hit me like a ton of bricks, but I still struggle to shed the blame and embarrassment. It does not feel like any kind of super power at this point.
Dyslexia is so interesting, yet so misunderstood. This should not still be such a mystery in 2024! Thanks so much for this video, we love seeing how many articulate, intelligent and talented individuals are dyslexic. Dyslexia is something we're keen to raise awareness of and improve support for. We've worked with thousands of families of dyslexic children to ensure that schools here in the UK are following the law and following an EHCP. We've got a webinar planned on the 13th of June and would definitely encourage folks to book on, or join our academy to access some fantastic expert resources.
I was diagnosed with dyslexia nearly 2 years ago and I found it a real struggle to tell other students and ask for help when I needed it the most and I try to hid it but after seeing videos of other dyslexic's I now embrace my dyslexia x
This is a wonderful educational video series. Exciting to see the amazing educators of the Schenck School share their insights - with the same enthusiasm and love that greets the children at Schenck every day.
I think most suffer something or other that's why we take to Richard. His stories are very similar to many others right down to his dyslexia and corporal punishment. We know what he's talking about, we felt it. RESPECT ☘️
The richness and creativity is incredible. I worked with PG students at RCA and it was incredible to be invited inside the minds of amazing students. Seriously talented. I created presentations for them with the ideas they verbalised. They are the future. Partnering is how we did it 😅😊
When I was young I wouldn’t have thought one person in a thousand had dyslexia. For many years I never met anybody who said they were dyslexic.
wonderful video series, it is all so true and we need to support this understand worldwide ONLY ONE POINT is NOT correct, the world also needs to understand, that phonics is NOT the only way of teaching reading and spelling, phonics is actually a diversion to simple and easy learning to read for dyslexic thinking style. the Davis method has been prooving this for years. ALL the rest said and stated it so true and valuable, happy to share!
Phonetics was a nightmare for me concerning reading. I had to learn to read by memorization .
I've heard that learning Latin or Greek has been proven to be able to change things really quickly to improve dyslexia. Makes me mad at past me for not learning it when i first had theorized as a kid that it would help me. Especially since i was always interested in etymology too.
But i will be finally pushing myself to learn both next year! This upcoming year i also have many goals that i know will help change my brain. I was diagnosed really late in life with ADHD and being on the autism spectrum, though i dont have a proper diagnosis of dyslexia i had another auditory processing issue growing up they felt they'd corrected but i've since seen a decline as i've been out of practice and reverting back to how it was as a kid and its not exclusively an issue with b/d and 9/p anymore but full on mixing of letters and words which i know is dyslexia. I just dont have the time or resources to get a diagnosis but i deeply explained things to friend also neurodivergent and they said that they just got diagnosed and that i explained it to a T.
Lol so.. yeah like the other things i've been diagnosed with i already have put it together, only now i just dont care to have a doctors confirmation and just want to work diligently to improve how my brain works. I believe in our abilities to change!
So i wanted to share a bit about my story and the findings i've come into.
I also think learning how to read music might help and am doing that this year along with some modern languages before next years Latin and Greek endeavor. Wish me luck! And i wish you all the best too! I'll let you know how it goes
I'm committing publicly to these things as much as i can right now to push myself to stick with my aspirations to help others see that they can shoot for the stars! I believe in you! Whatever it is you need to do to get to where you want, you got this!!!
Hallo , endlich habe ich die Antwort auf meine Fragen erhalten. Das Video spiegelt genau meinen Lebensweg. Endlich habe ich wider etwas Hoffnung .Danke
How I wish all school all over the world have dyslexia screening so that people will have the chance to catch this early on their life.
Yes
I guess in the early 80's I was considered a trouble maker in school. I struggled to learn the way everyone else was and often found myself in the principals office. I day dreamed a lot and I slept and thought of other things because learning what they were teaching just never clicked with my brain. One day I started explaining to the principal why he shouldn't whip me with the paddle as this was the way things were in Georgia schools in the early 80's. I actually got through to a grown man that day who ran the entire school and he never touched me with that paddle ever again. I was 13 and my report card had all D's and F's. After our conversation that day in his office, he always just smiled at me in the hallways. He apparently knew something about me that I didn't.
Thank you for letting us save these. the kid videos... you made I cannot save.
They are also creative thinkers
I used to have a whole series of tests of year, at .... some place. Not sure where, in the early years of school. I only remember one if those series of “tests”. Apparently, my older siblings remembered more of them.
This was way back in ‘79-‘82. I was never informed my parents about why I had to take these “tests”. If I ever brought up why I wasn’t like my friends and classmates, my parents would inform me that I was “perfectly normal” and had to apply myself better at my school work. I grew so frustrated at school.
Fast forward to being a devoted fan of Eddie Izzard. I watched her documentary-bio whatever, Believe. When I saw the school book report with all the red marks, the proverbial alarm bells went off in my head. That could’ve been one of mine.
I made my mum watch it with me. I asked her about those “tests” all those years ago. She finally told me that the conclusion at that point in time was “an unrecognized learning disability”. *W.T.F.*?????
All those years of struggling through school thinking I was “lazy and stupid”. Being lectured and yelled at by my parents, because they were told it was better that I was not told about it. I knew I was “different” from my friends and classmates by grade 2.
By the time I reached high school, I felt it was better to get a “0” on assignments than to have my friends/classmates know that I was “dumb”. Although that “0” I got for the frog dissection I was and still am totally fine with that. 🤢 lol
With the advent of the internet, I was able to look up all the areas that I struggled with throughout school. Turns out that somewhere between “unrecognized learning disability” and when I started googling, it all fit under the broader umbrella of dyslexia.
As a “daddy’s girl” though, the one thing that did crush my spirit more than anything else was always being told “you can’t” all my wild fanciful dreams of what I wanted to be. I stopped believing. 😔
Thank you.
I wish we changed or add the laws in America so all the adults with dyslexia would get assistive technology help in every day life with reading and writing. We should the future for kids and adults alike.
I only went to school 247 days ...I at 52 got told so I'm learning and life has become much better already one step at a time and my son has it he is 32
What a positive video, thank you!
I am 18 and we have knowen for when i was 7 that I am dyslexic and i have not Understood what it was until recently and there deathly does need to be much more spreading of information about Dyslexia
Try Toe by Toe dyslexia manual book. It work miracle!
I was not aware of my Dyslexia until Adulthood. I had a teacher that once told my best and only friend that she shouldn't be friends with me because I wasn't going to 'go anywhere' in life. I wish I knew what support felt like...
Screening ALL STUDENTS! Yes! Don’t wait till you see a sign. No parents know, no kid knows, no teacher will know. Test all to prevent future harm to these kids!!! I’m a living proof that the school had ruined me!! 😭😭
Wonderful! 👍🏼
Though I do believe that humour often helps people retain thinking patterns,
therefore Spoonerisms should assist in reconfiguring thought reflexes.
I grew up around dyslexia with my dad having it and then I married my husband that has it and we have a daughter with it. I’ve never looked at dyslexia as anything negative, they just learn differently. But try telling that to a traditional public school administrator or teacher. We decided to homeschool our daughter so she could learn her own way and she loves it. Of course she still has problems with spelling but that doesn’t mean she isn’t going to accomplish something great one day, just like her grandfather and father have done.
What a great video on dyslexia. I was tested as a child . I am dyslexic . Although , at that time nothing was done about it and the expectation for higher learning was not thought about . My parents told me that I was dyslexic in high school . A psychologist tested me in elementary school .
A person with dyslexia learns completely differently . I learned everything in school by memorization . I had a difficult time learning in school for a long time . My grades reflected that . Getting into college was not easy . My parents were surprised that I wanted to go to college.
To make this story short ( I could talk about this forever ) I will fast forward . I fell in love with medicine . Went to school to become a nurse . Passed my boards without a problem . I scored relatively high on my boards. My first job as an R.N. was the Medical University of Charleston South Carolina .
I do continue to struggle with spelling . My daughter is also dyslexic . It honestly is an alternative learning style . I completely think outside the box . I look at "no " as a difficult "yes ". I would decribe my learning style a circle as opposed to a straight line.
@Daddy I have a tough time with spelling correctly .
I love it
I see it in my grandson I have not been clinically diagnosed
I DIG BEING DYSLEXIC !!! 100% (very thankful that I found out when I was young !!!) -they called me "special" and I was like, FUCK YEA I AM !!! Big Aroha (love) to the neurodiverse community.... be seen, be heard !!!
Ex
I struggle with my dyslexia because when I do maths to me it is almost a nightmare but i know I will get better at it in the end
Always use graph paper to line up the numbers for calculations.
Thankyou for the suggestion I will try that
@T han thankyou for that bit of information
@T han I am good thankyou for asking
I’m 76 and suspect that I am dyslexic. I barely made it out of high school. My self esteem was pretty low through my first thirty years. I got into lsd pretty heavy when I was 25 and it opened up a whole new world for me. It helped me connect the dots and understand how to use my brain more effectively. I realized the industry mechanical trade was where I was supposed to be. I did really well with machine design, fabrication, installation and maintenance. I retired at 55. I am married with no children, but I don’t really have any close friends and it’s because I have avoided opportunities. I’m just happy by myself. It’s my way of avoiding being laughed at or called stupid. I know I am relatively intelligent. I have been tested at my work before and scored 138. I don’t know the name of the test or if it was an official IQ test, but didn’t think it was that hard. I stay active by hiking sections of the Appalachian Trail solo. My question is do I just keep doing what I have been doing or do I need to talk to a professional? I have never in my life talked to another dyslexic that I know of about dyslexia. Thanks
Thank for sharing. Lock did you make those hiking videos? You may want to read the book " Creative, Successful, Dyslexic" by Margret Rooke. I too have dyslexia.
Thanks Wayne! I’m not sure what videos you are referring to, but I do have a channel and I hike. I am still learning how to video and enjoy doing them quite a bit.
Dyslexic individuals have more nuanced patterns of brain processing, this gives details to their output
I think in every country in the world should have assisted technology for adult people with dyslexia help read and write mandatory. In school, All kind of libraries, courthouses, State House, government buildings, trade schools, organizations that help you find jobs, Banks, credit union colleges. I believe we got far in with helping dyslexia people but not enough for the adults that's dealing with it everyday
The education system in my rural town was horrid for someone with Dyslexia. When I went to school, only one teacher ever gave a damn to fully help people like myself with Dyslexia. Outside of her, the rest of the schools were trash to such a degree I had to teach myself how to properly read at 16 through books and video games (Yes, video Games).
I have Dyslexia I’m in grade 9 and found out this summer before going into grade 8 because I had to get my IEP updated because high school is coming and my mom wanted it updated and we had that done in grade one they couldn’t tell they couldn’t find the signs when I was that young they assumed I didn’t want to learn. I struggled and teachers said didn’t want to learn didn’t want to read when I love reading I would like to make a book but I could not I will mix my ideas that I had one teacher one teacher who taught me how to be angry she would teach me separately from the kids she didn’t have to that was not her that she would even stay in at recess is to help me read something that just so the kids weren’t like why is she over there why is she by her self as a teacher working with her so kids want to make funny but that was the only teacher who really cared seven my teacher thought that dyslexia because she notice I will mix up my numbers when I read that answer up the calculator and I’m really good at math everyone knows that But my other teachers would just said I would not make it in life and to give up they made me feel like a pice of s**t look at videos like this makes me feel as if I am not alone so thanks so much your videos are going to inpact me in a way teachers did not
I am an adult that is dyslexic . School was difficult . A dyslexic person learns in a completely different way . Because a dyslexic person is educated in a non dyslexic environment our brains have to be sharp . A dyslexic person is quite intelligent .
I'm 17 and yesterday i found that I'm dyslexic it's give me relief a lot because always i think that I'm not good enough and a lots of time i also think that I don't deserve anything because i can't read and write properly . I always had a traumatic childhood but now I'm happy because i found that I'm not an idiot but a genius .(◕ᴗ◕✿)
👍👍👍
Good evening sir/ma,
I need help ... i have Dyslexic will you be of help to me please onyinychienyinyinnaya@yahoo.com
Hola. Hay alguna manera de ver este vídeo en español o con subtitulos en español. Gracias
It sucks because I'm 23 and I just recently found out I was dyslexic. Now I want to make sure I know if my kids have it early
Same. But I'm 20 and recently found out. Becoz of my past struggles, I have accepted I was dumb and stupid which kind of changed when I learned that I have dyslexia. Also, I developed low self esteem, self confidence, and my fear of failing is having a negative impact in every aspect of my life. I have developed social anxiety as I'm always afraid that I will embarrass myself such as by starting to talk and I come across words that I cannot pronounce accurate or confusing people becoz I find it difficult to express myself sometimes. Although I felt relieved after learning that my dyslexia was the reason for my struggles, I can't completely stop myself from thinking that I'm dumb. Recently, I went back to meet my high school teacher, and I and my friend was asked to speak some students about nursing (I'm a nursing student). I'm thinking of talking to her and see if I could talk the students about learning difficulties as well such as knowing the signs becoz based on my experience teachers never said or did anything about the signs I showed. One of my sister's teacher during her parents evening basically listed the signs of learning difficulties, but never said anything about it. Personally, if I knew more about learning difficulties etc, I might have talked to someone to ensure I get tested earlier. I do not want anyone to feel the way I do now especially when u just started to be independent or fully independent. I wish I could do lot more but I feel like I can't. I really think that every teacher and lecture should be able to recognise signs at least. I read lots of stories about people with dyslexia and noticed some were not able to get tested before university. Undiagnosed learning difficulties such as dyslexia may affect one's mental health. I have self harmed in the past becoz of it.
Would you say people with the dyslexia Think out of the Box in order to deal with this situation because of the dyslexia??
No I think we just think out of the box because we do. We do however try and find ways round to try and hide the difference which is sad
Dyslexia is not a gift. I would give it right back right now if I could.
I think if you are fish, you should not try to walk) be you. I memrozied evry single words and repeat them every weekend so i taught myself to discipline. I push myself to read a book even if it takes me 1 month like 400 pages.
¿Tienen una versión en español?
Am 26 with dyslexic
Several years ago it was said one in ten British people have dyslexia, it has now been said one in five British people have dyslexia. If it is that common why was it almost unheard of for so long?
I’m dyslexic my dad took me to the council in 2nd and 3rd class ,I don’t even to know how to speak properly and I’m totla .I took speech therapy in 6th class but I desire to become superior entrepreneur
I always lost my ways .l always try to remember my ways but forget always . Why? I also face difficulties in reading and understanding my maths .Is it the symptoms of dyslexia?? Please answer my question ...🥺🥺
Is there anywhere I can go to get help with this? I’m 25 in the USA and not as angry as I use to be and I think I can do this now
"God put mee on this earth to accompish a certain number of thingsbut im so far behind i Never gonna die" Radio ORANGE
The system has let me down from the time I started school they set me out in the hall in the 2nd grade and did nothing for me for me for a 1/2 a year
Great! Now I feel good about being stupid. Lol
So if someone is sixty, it really does not matter, I know I can not really expect anyone to give a "eff", but I wish I could get information that would apply to an aged human. My first grade teacher wouldn't even let me write with the hand of choice, and she made sure I didn't.
School is horrible for people with Dyslexia , I learnt nothing lol I just day dreamed all day. Show me how to do something and ill pick it up. Talk to me about something and I wont hear you lol
Hi Anna, I have just subscribed to your channel.
Same here. I learnt nothing at all in school. You hit it on the nail. We are visual people. If we are shown what to do, we can learn. I like your humour.
Would love to Interview you about your school life as a Dyslexic.
I used to write ART and CRAFT Articles for London Mums Magazine.
You may find my research on Dyslexia interesting, here is my blog:
butterflylullaby.blogspot.com/2019/03/dyslexic-richard-branson-hit-hurt-by.html
I think that’s a generalisation. I’m dyslexic and I loved school and I became a teacher. Although I struggled, I never gave up.
I am a dyslexic
I used to write Art and Craft articles for London Mums Magazine. She recently took her son out of a Great School, and placed him with a GOOD School. Why? Because he was stressed out, and she was concerned about his well being. The school did no sports or fun things. I have ideas on helping children to love reading. And would like to interview parents that have children that struggle in school. Richard Branson, you are a HERO. I've added your story to my BLOG: butterflylullaby.blogspot.com/2019/03/dyslexic-richard-branson-hit-hurt-by.html
I wanna be thankful cuz I have a schoo who helps with add and adhd I have👹)
Grown up too not just teens and children I know I'm the grown up.
If these people are called dyslexic , well I am schizophrenic , without any job except in translation and nearly homeless, what shall I do I don't know , I am trying to struggle with the illness years and years ago until today , I don't know which direction shall I pick , what shall I do with my whole life dyslexia is way better than being schizophrenic .
Sounds great, but in reality dyslexic people are still subject to indirect discrimination in job interviews with very little that can be done to stop it
Im dyslexic
I have ADHD and dyslexia so daydreaming all the time is a coping mechanism so hard to end
I can relate. I daydream when I find things so difficult. But as a result I was able to draft a book based on my daydreams in high school. I struggled to put it on paper but completed it anyway but there are lots of SpaG mistakes etc. I've tried to improve it many times in high school (now I'm at uni) until I stopped.
@@ad.1237 thank you for the tip! I started reading again and I'm trying to write more poems about my daydreams
@@AmandaSbarros no problem. Goodluck. Recently I tried to read books which are not for my course, but I kinda just gave up because I struggle with reading a lot. I started learning English when I was in year 6 as I used to live abroad, so my basics such as my phonics was kinda rushed especially that I have dyslexia which was unknown then.

Retrieving facts for me is like looking for a filing cabinet that is both locked and invisible.
With files that are just placed randomly, redacted, and written in invisible ink, and when trying to recover the info, often comes out blotchy.
The 2 things that work for me are to lay down a tiles to form the path to recreate the file from scratch or,
to spend hours memorising it, such that I am more likely to stumble upon a filing cabinet, that has a weak lock, with a file that has the information unredacted, and not blotched out.
Another thing that works, is to, well to quote Albert Einstein "never memorize something you can look up." Although I tend to think of this as a cop-out, you can look up anything. I even googled this sentence to make sure it was spelt correctly.
(I even looked up that quote)
Hey man
my 14 years son is dyslexia, it is tough. need some help
For 6 min, they did not say a single complete piece of information.
Shame they they don't want to help you at being a fire man only give you 10 minutes on a test some one needs to tell them this
Society let me down
all they say is we have this , and how some of these people are very successful. what about the older adults who have it and are not successful and still fail everyday? i hear all these success stories , but none of the failures. no one ever talks about that.i am so sick of all the BS that is talked about.
The brain is jumping around all over the place
You should have seen what I typed when I searched for this.... it doesn’t even make sense.. even typing this is hard for me to do because I am saying the words in my head but spelling it as the same speed as the thought come on and making sure I’m spelling this all right.... I’m fucking tired just sending this.
I’m 56 and just found out.
1 minute in, so far this has not given me any real info on dyslexia
This is no gift people. making 13$ an hour as a 45 year old is tough. I don’t wish this on anyone. Being abused by teachers as a kid in the 70’s and 80’s.
You cannot be married either because of your low wages.Men want women who make a descent living..please don’t call being alone for the rest of your life a gift. Life is nothing but a hellish existence . We are not all Tom Cruises or Cher, we are just everyday people... NO NOT ALL dyslexics have talent
Why would be hard to name year's months in the correct order? I bet that this word is copyrighted by the state. It's part of every state's national health system. They will be making money on this. So much nonsense.
All these speakers are talking too fast. I'm dyslexic. I prefer listening to English and European speakers
I'm a kid speaking here saying dyslexia is not a damn thing don't make any more videos about it dyslexia is not real
Can we please stop being talk about like objects please
100% false. I see no improvements in certain individuals.
