So many things that I believed were unique to me alone are not even close to being unique but are a part of my dyslexia. When I am bored I can tell myself a story complete with several different characters and an entire storyline which is okay when you have nothing else to do. Still, at night I wake up and do the same thing and find it hard to fall back asleep in the middle of a story. So weird.
Hmm interesting. I do relate to this. However, I will often thing in terms of positive or negative, or if/then statements in my head accompanied with a visualization of how it would happen. I will also imagine conversations or scenarios to the point that it feels like they happened, even though they didn't, so I no longer have as strong of a desire for them to occur. Thus, I'll just stay home or never talk to someone about something important.
I woke up this morning, thinking about I want to understand the behaviors of my dyslexia, which I was diagnosed in elementary school here in the US. Excited to explore your channel and learn more about some of the behaviors that most of us deal with. Don’t get me wrong I see my creativity, my visual aspect, and my openness, due to my dyslexia, however, in other aspects, it’s so difficult to be a human when you see the world so differently , so I’m looking forward to seeing your perspective, and learning more.
I'm Dyslexic but have no issue what so ever making a decision. I do find it difficult to argue a point with someone when they put up a counter argument, as I have three or four alternatives retorts come in to my head at the same time, and by the time I chose one I've missed the continuity and have not been able to flush the idea out while still being attacked, but being able to bag down on the a right path to move forward whether in business or personal life no problem.
This is fascinating. I never thought about it in this way but you're absolutely right, I do this also....I give the decision making away to other people because it just takes me sooooooo long to decide or make a plan of the steps to take to get me there. I generally don't plan any more actually. I just say yes when someone invites me to something because I find it too hard to coordinate my own plan.
I’m struggling so bad to even handle the tiniest decision that doesn’t even matter, like what color something should be that will only matter for a couple minutes. It’s crippling me. Can stress make our symptoms worse? I feel I’m stuck in a cercle because I feel the stress is making it worse, but then I’m becoming more stressed because every single decision is stressing me out.
I noticed that my new dyslexic friend grasps a word out of a sentence that I say and changes the meaning of it….how do I manage this situation in a Skype chat OR I take a word out of what he says and he seems to get very upset…what is happening in this case study?
The more I dive down understanding myself the more normal people seem odd. My biggest problem is time, it's like it doesn't exist. So if I need to make a decision on what to do with the kids, I will do every options and then find out I completely messed up 😮 as it was impossible to do all that in one day.

But also an amazing talent!

I just met someone for the first time ever who is dyslexic and need to know how to communicate with him..he loves me deeply

Yes.. im constantly overwhelmed and paralyzed by decision making 😢

Very informative, I’m trying to learn more about my dyslexia so I can manage my life better . This is so accurate!

Great observation - thanks so much for sharing.

Do non dyslexic brains not do this? I’ve never had a bone dyslexic brain so I assume everyone has the same kinds of thoughts.
Non dyslexic brains operate very differently indeed!

This was so spot on, for me. And also, I see how it was my Mom as well.
