- Hear from some of the world's most successful dyslexics including Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley, Chris Robshaw, and Maggie Aderin-Pocock about dyslexic strengths and thinking skills so you can really understand what dyslexia is and why we should celebrate it.

This is amazing. It took me 33 years to understand what dyslexia is and what it meant. It wasn't a setback, but instead a gift.
For me 45 years
Yeah for me dyslexia is a gift because it has made me into the hard worker I am today.
Same here lol
I am a 12 year old dyslexic kid and this helped a lot
I am a 21 years old autistic man and this explained nothing about dyslexia
2 of my favorite people, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley
Thank you for this inspiring video! I am 12 years old and I have Dyslexia and Dysgraphia. 😀
You're amazing
Hello there. Can you pls help me I wanted to know that how can we find out if a person suffers from dslexia
Thank you for the positive affirmation. I’m dyslexic and I was told as a child I was stupid 🥲
True, teacher really need to be educated to recognise individuals with dyslexia. I am 20 years old, studying at university, and recently I've been diagnosed with dyslexia. I have always found spelling very difficult, only reads what i have to read, and hate reading loud, have difficult expressing my ideas both in written and when talking. Becoz of these things, my self esteem and self confidence is so low that is is having a huge impact in every aspect of my life. I don't really talk becoz of the fear of confusing people or not saying words properly when talking. If teachers are educated to recognise students with undiagnosed dyslexia or other learning difficulties, it would increase the likelihood of early diagnosis and ensuring that children who required support will get it as soon as possible which can reduce the likelihood of developing low self-esteem, anxieties etc.
I really feel for you. My teachers are judging me because I have low quizzes, and most of them are wrong because of my spelling. I feel that I am left behind; I can't explain my thoughts properly; I always lose focus on everything; I can't concentrate in class; and no one understands me because I am different from others, and I always wish to find someone who can understand me, somewhere that I really belong. Btw, I'm 20 and undiagnosed dyslexic but I really feel that I’m one of you
I am a 73 year old dyslexic but I didn't discover I was dyslexic until I was in my late 50s. I always read slowly but didn't realize I was slow until grade 6 when we took a new speed reading course. I realized I was much slower than others at reading but I was much better than others at a lot of other things and I had no real problems other than I loved to watch the birds flying in the school yard outside the window, where I was always daydreaming about flying and at 8 years old I was building complex flying model airplanes. Oops! Slight segway there. (Thank God for spell checkers!) Even my slow reading didn't prevent me from getting straight "A"s in Math, Physics and Chemistry but the only course I ever failed was "Accounting 11." I had no problem with Higher Mathematics but Accounting was complete arithmetic and it is not that I can't do arithmetic, if I check it half a dozen times to eliminate all the simple mistakes or transposed numbers or... as long as I can use a computer or adding machine to do the mechanical stuff and save a lot of time. There I go again. What I'm trying to get at is, when I went to the local technical college to study Computers and Robotics they gave a study skills assessment to see if we could handle the material. To the confounding of my instructor, he told me that I had a reading speed below that of the 30 percentile but my comprehension was up above the 95 percentile. We read slowly because we get more out of what we read. If we read at the same speed as normal people, we wouldn't know any more than they do. It is part and parcel of what we are and without it we wouldn't be so brilliant. Yes, it takes us longer to read and I thank God that they taught us Phonetics but when we are done, we know far more than the other 90% of the population. Dyslexia is a gift!
Thank you so much for making these videos. I’m glad dyslexia and other learning difficulties are being identified, validated and actually recognized now.
I still get embarrassed if I’ve made a mistake with my spelling even now at 67 and left handed to, I hated school it was hell for me, spelling and using ink pens and smearing what writing I did all over the paper. And when it came to exams not able to read or write down something you know was so isolating for me.
I felt that almost gave up in high school. Like I almost failed a class cause I said I didn’t feel comfortable reading my poem out loud, teacher said ok you fail the assignment cause that’s not fair to others. I wish he was taught the irony in that statement.
Yes and it sucks when you fall through the cracks I'm dyslexic and I grew up being told I wasn't paying attention
Thank you so much for this video. I'm proudly Dyslexic and I hope "Made by Dyslexia" will soon help people to stop describe us like "disturbed" and will be soon able to discover and empowering this gift.
More people should realize that the dyslexic mind has a useful place in society. I teach Orton Gillingham to dyslexics on you tube because we shouldn't have to be rich to have the training we need to learn to read fluently.
The best of Dyslexican people is the creativity and resilience minds. 😀👍
Great video. I hope it gives other dyslexic people a lot of encouragement. It shows that, even with dyslexia you can still reach for the sky.
Being dyslexic in the education system SUCKED!!!!! But… as soon as I got out, I THRIVED!!!!
I'm dyslexic as well. Reading is more worst then writeing. I always see texts like there a big gaps between words like that. And I need to read a text Multiple times and it takes so long. And writeing I often add an e before a y. Or I miss letters like a h. Duh I just hate my dyalexia and I'm insecure about it.
Just want to say wow! This channel is truly epic! Some day I will find my dyslexic super identity as this is how it feels every dyslexic has some power just have to wait for it come out and then you can run crazy with it :)
I can never break down details, yet I can see the bigger picture of things if that makes since.
Love this. As a dyslexic, I agree our brains are wired differently and in many ways for the better. I am a successful adult but I can only imagine how many individuals with dyslexia are at a disadvantage just because they did not get the right support or even the stereotyping that comes with it.
I'm unhappy that I have dyslexia

Love what is being said here. I want see this in all schools.
Great video. Love it!! Thanks for spreading the word
Excellent Awareness Video On Dyslexia. Well Done ,Made By Dyslexia. From British Gibraltar,U.K Overseas Territory. With Best Wishe's !
if you dont have an rich mummy and daddy or are lucky dyslexia is not an gift,it means that finding an job and keeping an job is hard,it means that you can and will be discriminated against regular and ite league to do so,it means you will be called stupid and lazy most of the time if you use scoacial web sights.
I don't hate reading or writing
I'm just selective in what I want to study and how I want to study a certain thing...
Why did I think this was negative my whole life!???
Jesus!
Ignorance is not bliss lol
It's very difficult in GCSE English and Maths because if your paragraphs all put together and then it is hard to read but with maths it is a struggle with the times tables or other maths topics
I'm dyslexic and when others have a problem they seem to seek me out ..but unfortunately instead of being thankful some folk have replied with "Well why didn't you tell me that in the first place" 😏🙄🤔
Thank you for this video and campaign. It became my translation of what I experienced thr my education life. But the point and truth are that we have different way of thinking that company desires of having workers like.
Can you recommend a college for dyslexics?
Message to People who struggle with dyslexia nothing can stop in your way, Leonardo da Vinci had dyslexia and it didn’t stop him
Hi all. good day, I have a nephew who I think has dyslexia. How can I help him, and what kind of education and support will be needed for him to improve his overall function. Thank you all in advance.
literally a typo in the first sentence "if you ' re dyslexic". that's more than ironic. Could nobody's superpower spot that?
This is a strange trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean, but I like it.
I need some help I am 14 and my name is Beth I can't read or write or even tell time what can I do.
I'm a dyslexia age 57 and unable to do basic math.
dyscalculia is struggles with basic maths
Me too
like addition and subtraction?
Thank you 💡🙌😀🥳🎉💛🎶🌈🙏
excellent
This video makes me insecure for NOT having dyslexia.
You need a diagnosis first, my sons primary school refused to test him. His sencondary school would not proceed as his primary school did not diagnos him! Eventually by year 11, I paid privately!!! My parents paid as, as a single parent did not have the funds. Now at the age of nearly 20 he has failed his English GCSE soo many times! No help now as an adult :( Advice please as what to do x
My advice would be to find a dyslexia support group in your area. I am sure that there's one near you.
Really a useful channel! Thanks so much.
Just to add a sadist spin to this I’m gonna hire a dyslexic town reader
Ok but y'all didn't explain what Dyslexia is. Just your opinions on it
I can't read well but oh, it's a gift. I couldn't read the board because I had undiagnosed myopia for many years as a kid, should I call that a gift too?
are they overstating this? i thought the letters were just backward.
No it's far more than that..
@@suehowie152 like what?
@@jones2277 there are so many different forms of dyslexia there are 5 main types
I’m not sure I would call dyslexia a gift, I don’t really gain anything from it haha, but the positivity is nice I guess
I just figured it out that I m dyslexic I m about to be 33 and all my life I heard that I m no good and I can't be anything and because of it I have no friends and I don't go out alot because I think I don't fit in with others I feel like I m weird so I don't go out ☹☹ I want to be an actor but I m too scared to go out there
What! Orly omg. 💞💞💞💞💞
The problem is not that I am dyslexic, the problem is, they are not! They lack imagination and fundamental understanding of the world around them. I'm 73 years old and I know from from personal experience, that it doesn't matter what I do, whether I show people 3-D renderings, either computer produced or hand drawn or show fundamental Physics and/or give a full verbal description of what I do so people can actually understand it, when I say I have designed the most efficient heat engine that has ever or will ever be designed, no one believes me. They don't even trust their own understanding.
In spite of the fact that I can prove, Mathematically, every word I say, to anyone willing to listen, when I tell people that Einstein was a shmuck and a dupe and his theories were pure delirium, no one believes me. I really do live on another planet!
And I always having coder paper
Sorry, but am I the only person to see the irony in the subtitles of Orlando's first sentence???
1 in 5 people have dyslexia, I have 4 full siblings, I know at least 3 of us do. I wonder about the other 2 lol
The video per si is ok. What is not ok is the title. It does not explain...
Exuse me, we do not 'suffer' from dyslexia, we suffer from a poor and I'll fitting educational system.
Sounds to me like it's not a learning disorder, but a teaching disorder. There are plenty of cultures where it doesn't exist because they are taught to read and write differently, based more so on phonic sounds rather than flashcards. Just food for thought. But then I don't have dyslexia so I have no idea what they mean by thinking differently. Unless you mean not restricted to absorbing information and believing it because it's taught, in which case that's nothing to do with dyslexia, you just didn't buy into the system because you see beyond societal expectations. There are plenty of twats with dyslexia too so I'm not convinced it gives empathy.. Thoughts?
Dyslexia isn’t a major issue compared to ADHD.
They’re both disadvantages. No need to compare :/
@@poppop.ehrmantraut I hv adhd nd I know it’s much worse than dyslexia
@@QuantumCount2717 do you have dyslexia then?
I'm 10 years odl and I have dyslexia
Dyslexia ruins your life
The people in this video proof otherwise. I hope you find your stride to. ❤
Once I accidentally spelled tit I don’t remember what I was trying to spell tho...
i think i might have dyslexia
Encouragements aside, they didn't really define dyslexia.
Who the fuck dislikes this videos
For hundred of years. Technology is evolving, school is not. Sucks
