I don't know if I'm dyslexic, but it's true. The amount of times my peers laughed at me for struggling with basic words is horrendous. They'd say "but you read all the time, how can you be so bad at reading aloud?!". Read words to verbal words no work good in brain.
Yes, auto correct is a life saver😅 and yeah, I can be fine reading a whole paragraph, then get completely mixed up and not know how to keep going… and this is AFTER re-training my brain with dyslexia courses in high school to help get past that hurdle!
Not all dyslexics read this way, just wanted to acknowledge that. I am dyslexic & my experience of this neurodivergence affects more of my auditory processing, memory recall, and directional perception. Occasionally, letters will swap placement but more often entire words will show out of order or swapped. Sometimes I write or type letters and words inversely on paper, phone, and computer. However, I do also acknowledge that dyslexics who experience this intensity of difficulty with reading shown here in the video (and/or writing) are significantly challenged in this regard which is rather unfortunate and deserving of understanding. Accommodations are also deserved (though I’m unsure of how that would be navigated because everyone is unique) where the circumstances apply, such as a workplace, in schools, with partners, etc.
I was diagnosed in 3rd grade and my mom pulled me out of school, learned everything about dyslexia and taught me how to read and write and then started a school to teach other kids. The school has helped so many kids it’s unbelievable. I’m in college now and I never would have thought that was possible, I was so embarrassed and frustrated at myself in school it was unbearable. Couldn’t tell left from right, wrote letters the wrong way, couldn’t read, the whole 9 yards. to have my mom stop everything and help me and all these other kids is so meaningful and I am forever grateful.
I’d love to know the name of the school or if you remember any of the tools she used. My son is in 4th grade and wasn’t getting help with iep so I just pulled him out. Here we go on a journey to learn in a way that works for him~
I think I got it! “Writing and reading are a given for most people. Even though this is true, some have to put in significantly more effort in order to decode the written word. By putting yourself into the shoes of a dyslexic, I hope I might be able to create some empathy.”
This is exactly what most teachers said to me. Only my 5th grade teacher quietly encouraged me to succeed and not put me down as dumb and not calling on me to read out loud in class. This was in the early 1950s, he was a genius ahead of his time. Because of him I succeeded in reading my first book that summer.
I don't know but it seems like teachers from that time had learned to deal with and manage many learning difficulties. 1959 and 1960 I had two great teachers that gently guided me with ASD and ADHD social gaffes, 1961 I was sent to a tutor for a bogus reason but she picked up on my form of dyslexia - first few letters or syllable are generally stable but the rest of the word jumble unless I super concentrate. Her advice was read, read, read all kinds of different things and subjects to build my vocabulary and my ability to guess what a word is likely to be - just ask myself "did that sentence make sense", if not then pick my way through it again. Her other advice was keep my reading for school at around grade level as some of these younger teachers lack experience and education if you don't fit the "standard mold".
I am dyslexic, but when I look at a sentence I can read it fine. For me, words are only like jumbled up or something or look like a different word when I don't pay attention or just quickly glance at it which happends quite alot. This also happends when theres a large paragraph. Anyone else relate to this?
My dyslexia is that I can not see the word in my head in some cases I’ve have likened it to animals as a picture the legs are below the line y j g q p and the head above the lines t f I d b k h on the paper, but when I see it written down I recognise it as the word. It’s taken me a long time learning to read. I’m very logically minded and spelling is not logical to me like the word Knight as to night when you use it in a sentence, it’s self-explanatory as to when the night rides in on his horse during the night time the K is not needed and when someone reading it to an audience, they don’t specify K as to what they mean. b and d was a problem until you see a bed you see a 🛌 B is before D in the alphabet, so B is the board is what you put your head to
@@stevenbuckley1416 I used to struggle alot with b and d as a child and it took me a long time to learn how to read correctly. My parents had to hire several tutors as a kid and initially in a private school but then I was taken out and put into a public school with a special education program (Yes Im still in it for some reason and it isn't even for reading issues ironically) I no longer have severe reading issues now that I am older but I remember 8 year old me really struggling to keep up.
How about the meaning of words in context? Is that affected? Like you can see what the word is but the meaning is delayed or how it’s related to other words to form the meaning of a long sentence?
Hey, just a friendly reminder here, just because some people are BORNE different doesn't mean that they are failures basically it is easy for you to say us failures because you know some of us that are different can put much less effort on something and do better than every sing person can so just remember never judge someone from a disorder that they are BORNE with😊
My friend is dyslexic and we had a a sub in our avid class. The sub said if we had no missing assignments we would have to read a book and there was no picture books in the room. My friend said she cant read because she has dyslexia and the sub said 2 of her kids have dyslexia and they can read so my friend should have been able to read. My friend said she cant read again and people were backing her up. And the sub just said you can read. I wish people could understand that not all people with dyslexia have the same difficulties.
@@suptr6902 For real, I can’t stand it when people act as if dyslexia isn’t a real thing, or when people say that everyone with dyslexia sees the ‘Same exact way as others with dyslexia!’! It can make reading and writing difficult. As someone who has dyslexia and deutan color blindness, life really does become harder. The ‘Oh DySlExIa Is ThE sAmE fOr EvReOnE’ bullshit needs to stop.
It’s SO infuriating when that happens!! I knew a self published author once and I was trying to get through to her that the font in her book was messing with my head (it was not a font any full length, adult book should use through the ENTIRE narrative anyways🙄) and I couldn’t read it well most of the time, but she was just like “my moms dyslexic too and she said it was fine” 🤦🏻♀️ and I’m like, “obviously she’s either got a different kind or it’s not near as extreme as mine!!” Even my mom, who’s not as dyslexic as I am, said it was a terrible font choice… but I don’t that ever got through to her:(
I remember that as a child at my school we have a reading exam every week and one time I decided to practice the text first aka I learned it by heart, the problem is that I also have ADHD and I only learned half of it. Obviously you can already imagine what part of the story I had to read (clearly the part that I didn't know by heart). I was devastated, I just wanted a good grade, for people to stop bullying me, to prove that I was intelligent like the rest, that I could do it. At the end of those dark days I learned an even more important lesson, never do something for others, do things for your own enjoyment, for your own learning and to hell with people who don't have the ability to see your value. To this day I remember half of that beautiful story and its writer is my favorite.
I’m dyslexic and don’t find it too hard to read to myself in my head, some things I’m not great with pronouncing but when I had to read to a class in school it’s like my pace would slow down so much and I’d start messing up simple things, it wasn’t like this much but it was always group reading i was bad at
I am going to try and type without autocorrect and talk about dyslexia:i have dyslexia a learning disorder that makes it hard for me to read or write. Dyslexia makes one side of your brain less and the other more. You have to sides to your brain. One for the main subject you get at school, and the other for creativity. Dyslectic people have the creative side more. And you can notice that.
I think this guy is brilliant! I'm not sure experts, who are not dyslexics use the term Phonic Awareness correctly. They often mistake the sound of a combination of words for the visual efforts of a dyslexic. In this word image it's the visual aspect of dyslexia of taking more time to differentiate letters. E.g a "h" or "g"? Or a "t" and "f" etc. We group words and things in our brians more (blurring differentiation). It's why dyslexics score much higher in recognising blurred images. And even makes them good at anograms! I often say "sound like" words in sentenced like white or while or gear/ear etc. We all do this but dyslexics do it more often. This IS ALSO what gives dyslexics the ability to assiciate what others don't normally do. This makes us good lateral thinkers and innovators. I got my two patents by "thinking out the box". If you ever want me to come and give a presentation about my dylexic journey to become a teacher I'd be honoured.
I hate being dyslexic some times like reading a front of the class not remembering how to spell simple words and I had too read this a lot of times to make sure it was correct
I’m pretty sure I’ve been dyslexic my whole life and had a reading specialist help in elementary school but no one ever gave me a label. I only realized it when my daughter started struggling with reading and writing letters backwards/mirrored. Side note: I could read your note you put up there pretty easily because I’ve become a master at guessing words 😅. I wish more people would have empathy too!
I couldn't read anything that was written there. I had to guess the word "empathy". My son is dyslexic. We're really struggling and I don't know how to help him. Do you have any suggestions?
@@thembekadorcaskhumalo866 yes! I’m sorry you all are struggling. If you can find a tutor that works with an Ortin-gillingham based program that would help. If you are homeschooling the All About Reading curriculum is great for dyslexia. I usually also look up strategies on TH-cam as well.
No, no one’s ever explained it so well before I always see people making videos in life that’s not right like that’s not what I see being dyslexic, but that was spot on😂😅❤
my dyslexia isn't as bad as it used to be, but i still struggle sometimes. i can read fine 90 percent of the time but occasionally the next sentence beneath one sentence seems to disappear and i read the same one over and over and i get very confused. also it affects my memory a bit, so i am prone to getting lost and may need to go with someone else. my dyslexia gets a lot worse when extremely overwhelmed so i lose the ability to read at all.
Im 62 before there was in-school dyslexia haha. I have learned to deal with it but I still have to read articles 3 times before I actually get it. I still have a problem spelling, Thanks for the "spell check" apps
it does not get better "my dyslexia isn't as bad as it used to be" your brain just got good at faking it I can't spell, non of this was me spell this is all mind to hand muscel memory
@@biolinkstudiosi guess it depends on the type of dyslexia. there's a chance i got misdiagnosed and it could have been something else, but that's just my experience.
@@biolinkstudios I have dyslexia as well. When I see the Text it's not like this is rather like this there are Big gabs between the words and that makes it difficult or when I see almost simmular words I read it wrong. And spelling omg thats bad. I prefer speaking. What about you?
This was quite challenging but I think I got it: ''Writing and reading are a given for most people. Even though this is true, some need to put in significantly more effort in order to decode the written word. By putting yourself into the shoes of a dyslexic, I hope I might be able to create some empathy.''
I mean it does, beacuse you are not reading, you are recall a image sound of the word and linking it, you are using a much much slower form of decoding
I am dyslexic and I was able to read that very quickly because I was able to learn how to decode how my brain thinks. I played mind tricks on myself and now the good news is that when I take a test you can't see that I'm dyslexic despite the fact that I need extra time to read the questions! For me, when I read, the words are sometimes like that, but most of the time it's just in a curvey line. I can read fine but when I have stress, the letters start coming farther apart than usual to the point where I can't read at all.
Oh my God, this means so much to me because I grew up with dyslexia and it still I still struggle with it through this day and it just brings back so many memories and thank you so much for showing me
This is very fascinating. Because as I was trying to read it I was like “this isn’t what it looks like for me but it’s how I sound or how it feels when I try to read out loud” and then it clicked lol. “Popcorn” in school when we had to read aloud was my worst nightmare
Not all dyslexia presents this way, but I appreciate your spreading awareness. My ability to visually track written symbols isn't nearly as impacted as my ability to maneuver my body in the direction I intend it to go.
As a dyslexic who compensates very well while reading, I'd like to post a translation of the text as it seems to be intended to be read: "Writing and reading are a given for most people. Even though this is true, some have to put in significantly more effort in order to decode the written word. By putting people into the shoes of a dyslexic, I hope I can create some empathy." Now imagine you're dyslexic in the way I am and trying to proof read something you wrote...my brain developed this "autocorrect" feature to cope with my difficulty reading, but now it's very difficult for me to spot typos in text.
this is literally what it feels like whenever I'm in a stressful situation and I'm supposed to read 😭 I used to count to find out exactly which sentence I would have to read aloud and then read read my sentence in my head repeatedly and memorize so that it would come out as smooth as possible when it was my turn and of course I didn't listen to a single world that the others were reading aloud... So after each lesson with reading aloud, I would have to read it again because I didn't catch any of it...😅
I’m dyslexic so this makes me feel much more better. People say that dyslexia is a bad thing but it’s actually there’s famous people which has dyslexia, but we can also be really creative or smart letters are hard to read for dyslexic people. That’s why we take special classes.
I’m a diagnosed dyslexic but i have only moderate dyslexia. Like i can read and read aloud easily and the letters have never jumbled up like that. It does however mess up my processing skills. It takes me a few more seconds than others to follow instructions. Or my spelling can be quite whack. I have to use a lot of audio dictation or google when not even spell check can help me. And i don’t know where i would be without spell check. But i’ve always felt like my dyslexic brain is a bit of a superpower. Its wired differently and my ability to think outside the box is great!! I love being dyslexic!
Dame!! That's how it feels. The worst / best part was that I could "read it" not because I was decoding the words. I was predicting what could have been said. Except for the " I might be able to create some empathy" That part I read as if it was. Well it's not well to me that part was spelled perfectly.
I think the problem with this is the neurotypicals think that dyslexics see words like this. I’m really glad you busted that myth it’s really is a harmful stereotype
Coming from a dyslexic, he is 100 percent right. When it comes to reading we don’t see literal gibberish, but instead just like it was taking you for ever on one word to see if you could make a word out of it, it takes just as long to read for us.
Didn’t know I was dyslexic until my 40s. Always struggled to read, even as top of my class. I’ve started using screen readers, and it really helps! Just by reducing my mental strain in decoding everything.
If one is having difficulty in reading then how that person could be good in grades? Means all academic achievements are directly related to proficiency and conprehension of reading..my daughters are struggling in there elementary grades
This is a good example. As dyslexics we dont clearly differentiate letters as easy/quickly so we often look twice to check. For example two fs can be mistaken for two ts. Also by the time we look down we cannot remember if a word ended 'en' or 'on'. These things slow our copying and reading abilities by quite a margin.
Im not dyslexic so it took me a couple minutes to get this and I really got stuck trying to figure out a couple words but now I feel more for people on the dyslexia spectrum. "Writing and reading are a given for most people. Even though this is true, some have to put in significantly more effort in order to decode the written word. By putting yourself into the shoes of a dyslexic, I hope I might be able to create some empathy"
I know exactly how you feel I hated that when I was in school reading it loud in front of everyone the odd thing is I can read that entire text and because my dyslexia is so severe I have built-in pattern recognition software in my head I see patterns in everything I can walk through a field of clovers and find four-leaf ones like they're nothing
I have diagnosed dyslexia and I have difficulty in decoding words. All words that I know how to spell and say is through rote learning and luckily I have a visual memory. I struggle immensely to say words that I have never said before, because my brain does not know how to decode the syllables. The text shown in this video is the closest way of showing the struggle of people with dyslexia when presented with new words to read and pronounce.
Also Tom cruise, Jennifer Aniston and other famous people are also dyselxic too. They did better things as being what they achieve. Any condition or disability doesn't stop people from doing what they want. It makes them powerful and more than those without it. We see the differences it's incredible.
I always tell others to imagine every word you're hearing right now that is allowing you to understand the sentence; is in another language you don't know. But all the conjunctions stay the same. (But, is, and, it, the etc.)
Yea that's really interesting. My kid has extra mirror writing abilities and says letters jump around. I don't have that as much but I'm also dyslexic.
I am dyslexic and the reason you don't notice immediately that you have it is that because you were born with it that's what you assumed the words look like but let me tell you it's not true. You don't notice until you're told although it is hard I would never get rid of dyslexia, in my life it gives me most of my personality and I am grateful for it❤
Mine wasn’t like this exactly I would just skip words not see them completely miss them or miss read the sentence and then have to read it another 8 times till I understood what the story was 😂. I also had irlins syndrome to top it off basically the words move flicker and jumbled wave cross over but mainly showed rivers
I’m dyslexic and I just finished tutoring for it after 2 and half years and now I am better but sadly there is no way to get rid of it but when you put up the word thing I could tell most of what it was saying and this is a good example!
I'm a 90s kid from Israel, always have struggled with reading and weighing I thankful for the technology of this days that help out with Autocorrect and speech-to-text. Also social media such as Facebook help me with reading more because books aren't an option for me. I would never learn English from the book, the only way to learn English for me, is by jumping into deep water by putting myself into a no choice position ( working retail overseas 😂) Look at me today writing this comment, maybe not in a very gramatik way but understandable. 😅
Writing and reading are a given for most people. Even though this is true ,some need to put in significantly more effort in order to decipher the written word. By putting ourselves into the shoes of a dyslexic, I hope I might be able to create some empathy.
I have something like dyslexia with numbers. School never recognized it. They just labeled me as having Adhd and whatever else put me in special education classes to help, but it didn't really help. I never thought to explain how i was seeing numbers to anyone. It wasn't till after high school that i heard about a type of number dyslexia. My brain would flip numbers on me. Looking at a sheet of math equations was like trying to decode a wall of hyroglyphs. I would call myself stupid all the time, i felt terribly about myself. I'd cry in frustration doing math homework. Teachers would try to help and explain, but it wasn't any help. It was almost like listening to a foreign language. Im much better now, im not sure what changed in my brain as i got older. I still have a difficult time with math, but it isn't nearly the degree it was.
So I got diagnosed when I was around 4 and I’ve always felt stupid and I’ve found out it can also worsen and I’ve been going back to when I first got it and all the help I got is just not working anymore like the words just keep disappearing more and I keep forgetting to write something and it doesn’t make sense and most of my friends are none dyslexic people who don’t know what it is like to see words just leave the page and scramble up and move around sometimes I just wish I was normal and ease dyslexic
My dyslexia used to be like whats shown. However after years of intervention and treatment, it did tone down. Now I am able to read (somewhat consistently) fluently and write with generally less grammar mistakes, but it went more into the audio proccessing. So when I hear somebody talking I just have times when I don't understand at all what they are saying. Or I'll hear a sentence totally wrong.. My hearing is totally fine, bdw!
This is exactly what it was like when I was growing up I couldn't read till I was 14 and even now I have a bad time spelling. I remember when the teacher in high school tried to get me to read for the glass and I would break down and refuse. I also have it with math numbers are the worse for me and the slowest to learn growing up and even now I cannot rely on my math skills
Some dyslexics read the way I read and it’s pie you reads things backwards and forwards and then it freezes in your head and then struggle and then people start to laugh with you and then you don’t feel OK and then just Leksich number to some people have words the word shows
I read it ok, but think I am looking at patterns and guessing likely words. I think it does show that its harder to read ordinary text. Also, when assessed, i was told that many dylexics use the memory when interpreting words. It's a very interesting, short and helpful.
Chatgpt ==> "Writing and reading are a pain for most people. Even though this is true, some find it tough to put in significant effort to decode the written word. By quitting your sight into the chaos of basic, I hope I might be able to create some empathy."
I got diagnosed with dyslexia in primary school and we had an extra class after regular school to get better in certain classes. I also later looked up every word I was unsure about and with time I kind of remembered the right words or recognised when something in my writing was wrong. When I was about 18 years old (maybe earlier) I decided to start reading in my free time also, still was kinda slow but later when I wanted to get over my sleep disturbances I just read till I was sleepy then I had the habit of reading for at least 30 min. per evening and at some point I noticed that I actually could read better/faster than non dyslexic people. That made me think if my diagnosis was wrong or can just everyone with dyslexia can learn this or is it dependent on the type of dyslexia? (I still need to concentrate to not forget some words or letters while writing.)
When I grow up in the 80s the stuff I was not understood. I was learning to read and my parents would say sound it out, so I would try and sound it out. They would shoukd yes, now read it. In my head I was like shit I'm not getting this. I have improved a lot but I can't picture what I read. So I stay away from it. I love fixing things.
I created a simulation to give someone a more complete experience of what it was like for me to try to read when I was in school. Print out a page of text. Then take a large posterboard with a single hole cut in the center that's about a third the size of one character. Lay the posterboard on the page of text and start reading.
I’m fine reading out loud, it’s reading the next line where my eyes get lost for some reason. Also can’t remember anything I read out loud, but memorizing math and science formulas were the worst.
In my country we learn our original language I was diagnosed with dyslexia in my last year of primary school (aged 11) 1 teacher of mine would get really mad at me and the other dyslexic kid would disuss our work during the language that we had didnt have to do caused a lot of mental damage
My dyslexia is usually more like my brain reads the words in the wrong order or I have trouble tracking a single line of text with my eyes so I will end up switching between two lines as I read. Sometimes I do mix up individual letters but not all that often. I also have a hard time writing because I will mix up vowels or similar letters. I can read and write fine and I often scored higher than average on reading compression but I have always been slower at it than most people because I have to slow down so my brain doesn't jumble things up.
I am a dylesic and it’s more of reading the words in a book instead of the story I don’t mix up stuff like that. I just add extra words and place that they shouldn’t be.
Back when I was in grade school that's how I would see the text now that I'm older I can read a little bit better than I did when I was younger but every once in awhile when I'm about to read something it looks like that
I dont have this type of dyslexia but when I was youngwr I used to only be able to read a word if it's placed where it usually is. If it was placed in a dofferent part of the sentence I couldn't read it since thats not how I memorized it. Although even now I sometimes skip sentences or need extra time process the information in a sentence. Spelling will also be a forever struggle.
Sometimes I'm struggling so much to read directions that my brain freezes and i just stare at the page--only to figure out (finally) that it's not even in English.
I was diagnosed with dyslexia as a child but I love stories and at some point I became a avid reader. I like to think that in my first language it's hard to tell that I have it, training helps however there are things that are more difficult for me than others, like decoding words I'm not familiar with or if I try to learn a new language- learning new vocabularys though the written down lists is basically impossible. For me it's like the order of letters jumbels around and the ending of words disappear. Doable if it's a word I know but if I need to decode a new Word (in books it's mostly names) it's driving me crazy. (There's this study text with the first and last letter right and everything else jumbled up, it took me embarrassing long to see that😂) The mean part about it is that as a child to get to the point of knowing a word is just f* hard.
Writing and reading are a given for most people. Even though this is true, some have to put in significantly more effort in order to decode the written word. By putting yourself into the shoes of a dyslexic, I hope I might be able to create some sympathy”
I see the gaps between the words and letter morn than the actual word it’s self. I’ve found little tricks to help with writing I find if I write joined up I’m less likely to get a letter back to front. After about 10 minutes of reading off a white background and I’ve got the worse head ache
As someone who hid their dyslexia for 65 years This brings back all the gut wrenching worring I did as a kid. Being the dumb one was never fun, only to return the next day with the same problem.

As a dyslexic myself I agree I do not read this way but it is memory and writing and reading and getting the wrong thing in my head

It’s the understanding of it

“Writing and reading are a given for most people. Even though this is true, some have to put in significantly more effort in order to decode the written word. By putting yourself into the shoes of a dyslexic, I hope I might be able to create some empathy.”
Yeah good job
I was SO close
I'm dislexic
60% of the population requires help with reading.
Thank you for putting this here. Im dyslexic and I couldn't quite get the last sentence right
Guys I just want to let you know as a person with dyslexia myself that there are many different types of dyslexia and this is only one of them
This is exactly what most teachers said to me. Only my 5th grade teacher quietly encouraged me to succeed and not put me down as dumb and not calling on me to read out loud in class. This was in the early 1950s, he was a genius ahead of his time. Because of him I succeeded in reading my first book that summer.
I don't know but it seems like teachers from that time had learned to deal with and manage many learning difficulties. 1959 and 1960 I had two great teachers that gently guided me with ASD and ADHD social gaffes, 1961 I was sent to a tutor for a bogus reason but she picked up on my form of dyslexia - first few letters or syllable are generally stable but the rest of the word jumble unless I super concentrate. Her advice was read, read, read all kinds of different things and subjects to build my vocabulary and my ability to guess what a word is likely to be - just ask myself "did that sentence make sense", if not then pick my way through it again. Her other advice was keep my reading for school at around grade level as some of these younger teachers lack experience and education if you don't fit the "standard mold".
I am dyslexic, but when I look at a sentence I can read it fine. For me, words are only like jumbled up or something or look like a different word when I don't pay attention or just quickly glance at it which happends quite alot. This also happends when theres a large paragraph. Anyone else relate to this?
YES!! i literally can’t read a paragraph unless i have a blue overlay or it will look like just a huge pile of words and not actual sentences 😭
My dyslexia is that I can not see the word in my head in some cases I’ve have likened it to animals as a picture the legs are below the line y j g q p and the head above the lines t f I d b k h on the paper, but when I see it written down I recognise it as the word. It’s taken me a long time learning to read. I’m very logically minded and spelling is not logical to me like the word Knight as to night when you use it in a sentence, it’s self-explanatory as to when the night rides in on his horse during the night time the K is not needed and when someone reading it to an audience, they don’t specify K as to what they mean. b and d was a problem until you see a bed you see a 🛌 B is before D in the alphabet, so B is the board is what you put your head to
@@stevenbuckley1416 I used to struggle alot with b and d as a child and it took me a long time to learn how to read correctly. My parents had to hire several tutors as a kid and initially in a private school but then I was taken out and put into a public school with a special education program (Yes Im still in it for some reason and it isn't even for reading issues ironically) I no longer have severe reading issues now that I am older but I remember 8 year old me really struggling to keep up.
How about the meaning of words in context? Is that affected? Like you can see what the word is but the meaning is delayed or how it’s related to other words to form the meaning of a long sentence?
Does bionic reading help ?
It’s like failing at school and knowing tomorrow will be the same.
Hey, just a friendly reminder here, just because some people are BORNE different doesn't mean that they are failures basically it is easy for you to say us failures because you know some of us that are different can put much less effort on something and do better than every sing person can so just remember never judge someone from a disorder that they are BORNE with😊
Hey bro remember we got the perk of getting a word wrong and no points getting taken off
@@Romanweird lol did I spell something incorrectly. I’m somewhat lucky now I can blame autocorrect
@@susan7414 Lol
Exactly, im dyslexic and I feel like this
My friend is dyslexic and we had a a sub in our avid class. The sub said if we had no missing assignments we would have to read a book and there was no picture books in the room. My friend said she cant read because she has dyslexia and the sub said 2 of her kids have dyslexia and they can read so my friend should have been able to read. My friend said she cant read again and people were backing her up. And the sub just said you can read. I wish people could understand that not all people with dyslexia have the same difficulties.
What happened afterwards?
@Ihr Anführer the sub just went to her desk and made my friend just sit there and not do anything
@@suptr6902 For real, I can’t stand it when people act as if dyslexia isn’t a real thing, or when people say that everyone with dyslexia sees the ‘Same exact way as others with dyslexia!’!
It can make reading and writing difficult.
As someone who has dyslexia and deutan color blindness, life really does become harder. The ‘Oh DySlExIa Is ThE sAmE fOr EvReOnE’ bullshit needs to stop.
It’s SO infuriating when that happens!! I knew a self published author once and I was trying to get through to her that the font in her book was messing with my head (it was not a font any full length, adult book should use through the ENTIRE narrative anyways🙄) and I couldn’t read it well most of the time, but she was just like “my moms dyslexic too and she said it was fine” 🤦🏻♀️ and I’m like, “obviously she’s either got a different kind or it’s not near as extreme as mine!!” Even my mom, who’s not as dyslexic as I am, said it was a terrible font choice… but I don’t that ever got through to her:(
I remember that as a child at my school we have a reading exam every week and one time I decided to practice the text first aka I learned it by heart, the problem is that I also have ADHD and I only learned half of it. Obviously you can already imagine what part of the story I had to read (clearly the part that I didn't know by heart). I was devastated, I just wanted a good grade, for people to stop bullying me, to prove that I was intelligent like the rest, that I could do it. At the end of those dark days I learned an even more important lesson, never do something for others, do things for your own enjoyment, for your own learning and to hell with people who don't have the ability to see your value. To this day I remember half of that beautiful story and its writer is my favorite.
I'm so sorry. 😢
THANK YOU also am I the only dyslexic person that just pauses at a word or skips a whole line or reads a line Over and over again
Nope, happens to me aswell
I’m dyslexic and don’t find it too hard to read to myself in my head, some things I’m not great with pronouncing but when I had to read to a class in school it’s like my pace would slow down so much and I’d start messing up simple things, it wasn’t like this much but it was always group reading i was bad at
Sometimes
I can relate
I'm dislexic as well
I am going to try and type without autocorrect and talk about dyslexia:i have dyslexia a learning disorder that makes it hard for me to read or write. Dyslexia makes one side of your brain less and the other more. You have to sides to your brain. One for the main subject you get at school, and the other for creativity. Dyslectic people have the creative side more. And you can notice that.
I think this guy is brilliant!
I'm not sure experts, who are not dyslexics use the term Phonic Awareness correctly.
They often mistake the sound of a combination of words for the visual efforts of a dyslexic.
In this word image it's the visual aspect of dyslexia of taking more time to differentiate letters. E.g a "h" or "g"? Or a "t" and "f" etc.
We group words and things in our brians more (blurring differentiation).
It's why dyslexics score much higher in recognising blurred images. And even makes them good at anograms!
I often say "sound like" words in sentenced like white or while or gear/ear etc. We all do this but dyslexics do it more often.
This IS ALSO what gives dyslexics the ability to assiciate what others don't normally do. This makes us good lateral thinkers and innovators.
I got my two patents by "thinking out the box".
If you ever want me to come and give a presentation about my dylexic journey to become a teacher I'd be honoured.
I hate being dyslexic some times like reading a front of the class not remembering how to spell simple words and I had too read this a lot of times to make sure it was correct
Tough you reda multe tam yo stel got poucle tismakes. Tun “ a front “ but dsuld be “ in front “ .
I'm dislexic too
Wanna tell about our experiences?
I'm dyslexic and i can relate to this
I’m pretty sure I’ve been dyslexic my whole life and had a reading specialist help in elementary school but no one ever gave me a label. I only realized it when my daughter started struggling with reading and writing letters backwards/mirrored. Side note: I could read your note you put up there pretty easily because I’ve become a master at guessing words 😅. I wish more people would have empathy too!
I couldn't read anything that was written there. I had to guess the word "empathy". My son is dyslexic. We're really struggling and I don't know how to help him. Do you have any suggestions?
@@thembekadorcaskhumalo866 yes! I’m sorry you all are struggling. If you can find a tutor that works with an Ortin-gillingham based program that would help. If you are homeschooling the All About Reading curriculum is great for dyslexia. I usually also look up strategies on TH-cam as well.
No, no one’s ever explained it so well before I always see people making videos in life that’s not right like that’s not what I see being dyslexic, but that was spot on😂😅❤
my dyslexia isn't as bad as it used to be, but i still struggle sometimes. i can read fine 90 percent of the time but occasionally the next sentence beneath one sentence seems to disappear and i read the same one over and over and i get very confused. also it affects my memory a bit, so i am prone to getting lost and may need to go with someone else. my dyslexia gets a lot worse when extremely overwhelmed so i lose the ability to read at all.
Im 62 before there was in-school dyslexia haha. I have learned to deal with it but I still have to read articles 3 times before I actually get it. I still have a problem spelling, Thanks for the "spell check" apps
Same. I'm dislexic too but the letters don't move
it does not get better
"my dyslexia isn't as bad as it used to be"
your brain just got good at faking it
I can't spell, non of this was me spell
this is all mind to hand muscel memory
@@biolinkstudiosi guess it depends on the type of dyslexia. there's a chance i got misdiagnosed and it could have been something else, but that's just my experience.
@@biolinkstudios I have dyslexia as well. When I see the Text it's not like this is rather like this there are Big gabs between the words and that makes it difficult or when I see almost simmular words I read it wrong. And spelling omg thats bad. I prefer speaking. What about you?
This was quite challenging but I think I got it:
''Writing and reading are a given for most people. Even though this is true, some need to put in significantly more effort in order to decode the written word. By putting yourself into the shoes of a dyslexic, I hope I might be able to create some empathy.''
As a person struggling with dyslexia seeing this actually made me cry
My dyslexia doesn't affect reading
Book reecomendation: the gift of dyslexia
I mean it does, beacuse you are not reading, you are recall a image sound of the word and linking it, you are using a much much slower form of decoding
I’m 100% dyslexic life of a genuine struggle. You’ve just got to push through anyone with dyslexia I wish the best
Thank you for sharing information about dyslexia , I appreciate it 😊
You are more then welcome 🤗
I'm dislexic as well and I fel insecure
I am dyslexic and I was able to read that very quickly because I was able to learn how to decode how my brain thinks. I played mind tricks on myself and now the good news is that when I take a test you can't see that I'm dyslexic despite the fact that I need extra time to read the questions! For me, when I read, the words are sometimes like that, but most of the time it's just in a curvey line. I can read fine but when I have stress, the letters start coming farther apart than usual to the point where I can't read at all.
Oh my God, this means so much to me because I grew up with dyslexia and it still I still struggle with it through this day and it just brings back so many memories and thank you so much for showing me
You’re not alone in that experience, I’m glad it’s meaningful to you
This is very fascinating. Because as I was trying to read it I was like “this isn’t what it looks like for me but it’s how I sound or how it feels when I try to read out loud” and then it clicked lol. “Popcorn” in school when we had to read aloud was my worst nightmare
As a dyslexic I can confirm this is true
That does a good job of showing how frustrating. I can read this just as well if it was in the right order and facing the right direction.
Not all dyslexia presents this way, but I appreciate your spreading awareness. My ability to visually track written symbols isn't nearly as impacted as my ability to maneuver my body in the direction I intend it to go.
As a dyslexic, this is better than most simulations I’ve seen!
Wow! This Is so accurate! Thank you for sharing this.
Glad it was helpful!
As a dyslexic who compensates very well while reading, I'd like to post a translation of the text as it seems to be intended to be read:
"Writing and reading are a given for most people. Even though this is true, some have to put in significantly more effort in order to decode the written word. By putting people into the shoes of a dyslexic, I hope I can create some empathy."
Now imagine you're dyslexic in the way I am and trying to proof read something you wrote...my brain developed this "autocorrect" feature to cope with my difficulty reading, but now it's very difficult for me to spot typos in text.
this is literally what it feels like whenever I'm in a stressful situation and I'm supposed to read 😭
I used to count to find out exactly which sentence I would have to read aloud and then read read my sentence in my head repeatedly and memorize so that it would come out as smooth as possible when it was my turn and of course I didn't listen to a single world that the others were reading aloud... So after each lesson with reading aloud, I would have to read it again because I didn't catch any of it...😅
Me almost having a panic attack trying to read this with the dyslexia simulation and my actual dyslexia
I am dyslexic, when i read something i will read it well but never understand it, so i have to look up so many ways on what it means for myself.
I use to be dyslexic and that is pretty accurate
May I ask how it’s gotten better? Did you put so much work and effort into trying to make your dyslexia better? How long did it take you?
@@mscoot629I’m in a program it will take 3 years for me to “get ride of it” but your always going to have it even if you learn how to live with it
I’m dyslexic so this makes me feel much more better. People say that dyslexia is a bad thing but it’s actually there’s famous people which has dyslexia, but we can also be really creative or smart letters are hard to read for dyslexic people. That’s why we take special classes.
I’m a diagnosed dyslexic but i have only moderate dyslexia. Like i can read and read aloud easily and the letters have never jumbled up like that.
It does however mess up my processing skills. It takes me a few more seconds than others to follow instructions.
Or my spelling can be quite whack. I have to use a lot of audio dictation or google when not even spell check can help me. And i don’t know where i would be without spell check.
But i’ve always felt like my dyslexic brain is a bit of a superpower. Its wired differently and my ability to think outside the box is great!!
I love being dyslexic!
i have a few dyslexic family members and no joke me trying to read that out loud was exactly how they sound and i can truly get their struggles now
Dame!! That's how it feels.
The worst / best part was that I could "read it" not because I was decoding the words. I was predicting what could have been said.
Except for the " I might be able to create some empathy" That part I read as if it was. Well it's not well to me that part was spelled perfectly.
I think the problem with this is the neurotypicals think that dyslexics see words like this. I’m really glad you busted that myth it’s really is a harmful stereotype
Coming from a dyslexic, he is 100 percent right. When it comes to reading we don’t see literal gibberish, but instead just like it was taking you for ever on one word to see if you could make a word out of it, it takes just as long to read for us.
Didn’t know I was dyslexic until my 40s. Always struggled to read, even as top of my class. I’ve started using screen readers, and it really helps! Just by reducing my mental strain in decoding everything.
If one is having difficulty in reading then how that person could be good in grades? Means all academic achievements are directly related to proficiency and conprehension of reading..my daughters are struggling in there elementary grades
This is a good example. As dyslexics we dont clearly differentiate letters as easy/quickly so we often look twice to check. For example two fs can be mistaken for two ts. Also by the time we look down we cannot remember if a word ended 'en' or 'on'. These things slow our copying and reading abilities by quite a margin.
I am sending this to all of the people who have called me dummy for having help to
Read
Im not dyslexic so it took me a couple minutes to get this and I really got stuck trying to figure out a couple words but now I feel more for people on the dyslexia spectrum. "Writing and reading are a given for most people. Even though this is true, some have to put in significantly more effort in order to decode the written word. By putting yourself into the shoes of a dyslexic, I hope I might be able to create some empathy"
I know exactly how you feel I hated that when I was in school reading it loud in front of everyone the odd thing is I can read that entire text and because my dyslexia is so severe I have built-in pattern recognition software in my head I see patterns in everything I can walk through a field of clovers and find four-leaf ones like they're nothing
Well I think I have dylesixa I had deylay in reading & writing but I can read & right now I had some support in school
I have diagnosed dyslexia and I have difficulty in decoding words. All words that I know how to spell and say is through rote learning and luckily I have a visual memory. I struggle immensely to say words that I have never said before, because my brain does not know how to decode the syllables.
The text shown in this video is the closest way of showing the struggle of people with dyslexia when presented with new words to read and pronounce.
Also Tom cruise, Jennifer Aniston and other famous people are also dyselxic too. They did better things as being what they achieve. Any condition or disability doesn't stop people from doing what they want. It makes them powerful and more than those without it. We see the differences it's incredible.
Finally someone explain this perfectly ❤
I always tell others to imagine every word you're hearing right now that is allowing you to understand the sentence; is in another language you don't know. But all the conjunctions stay the same. (But, is, and, it, the etc.)
Yea that's really interesting. My kid has extra mirror writing abilities and says letters jump around. I don't have that as much but I'm also dyslexic.
I am dyslexic and the reason you don't notice immediately that you have it is that because you were born with it that's what you assumed the words look like but let me tell you it's not true. You don't notice until you're told although it is hard I would never get rid of dyslexia, in my life it gives me most of my personality and I am grateful for it❤
Mine wasn’t like this exactly I would just skip words not see them completely miss them or miss read the sentence and then have to read it another 8 times till I understood what the story was 😂. I also had irlins syndrome to top it off basically the words move flicker and jumbled wave cross over but mainly showed rivers
Hey Arije, Feels just like that only I don't think the anxiety/distress can be felt. but ya, Great! Thanks for sharing.
Yes the anxiety and distress definitely make it a lot worse. Maybe I can come up with a way to integrate that in some way.
I’m dyslexic and I just finished tutoring for it after 2 and half years and now I am better but sadly there is no way to get rid of it but when you put up the word thing I could tell most of what it was saying and this is a good example!
I'm a 90s kid from Israel, always have struggled with reading and weighing I thankful for the technology of this days that help out with Autocorrect and speech-to-text.
Also social media such as Facebook help me with reading more because books aren't an option for me.
I would never learn English from the book, the only way to learn English for me, is by jumping into deep water by putting myself into a no choice position ( working retail overseas 😂)
Look at me today writing this comment, maybe not in a very gramatik way but understandable. 😅
Totally
Writing and reading are a given for most people. Even though this is true ,some need to put in significantly more effort in order to decipher the written word. By putting ourselves into the shoes of a dyslexic, I hope I might be able to create some empathy.
I have something like dyslexia with numbers. School never recognized it. They just labeled me as having Adhd and whatever else put me in special education classes to help, but it didn't really help. I never thought to explain how i was seeing numbers to anyone. It wasn't till after high school that i heard about a type of number dyslexia. My brain would flip numbers on me. Looking at a sheet of math equations was like trying to decode a wall of hyroglyphs. I would call myself stupid all the time, i felt terribly about myself. I'd cry in frustration doing math homework. Teachers would try to help and explain, but it wasn't any help. It was almost like listening to a foreign language. Im much better now, im not sure what changed in my brain as i got older. I still have a difficult time with math, but it isn't nearly the degree it was.
Thank you for doing this.
I tried reading it and I can’t…this is accurate
Well im dyslexic and i can :')
I have dyslexia people say it is a disorder but I think of it as a super power
So I got diagnosed when I was around 4 and I’ve always felt stupid and I’ve found out it can also worsen and I’ve been going back to when I first got it and all the help I got is just not working anymore like the words just keep disappearing more and I keep forgetting to write something and it doesn’t make sense and most of my friends are none dyslexic people who don’t know what it is like to see words just leave the page and scramble up and move around sometimes I just wish I was normal and ease dyslexic
I'm dyslexic, but this isn't how I read. I never had these issues. Which is why I wasn't diagnosed until adulthood.
My dyslexia used to be like whats shown. However after years of intervention and treatment, it did tone down. Now I am able to read (somewhat consistently) fluently and write with generally less grammar mistakes, but it went more into the audio proccessing. So when I hear somebody talking I just have times when I don't understand at all what they are saying. Or I'll hear a sentence totally wrong.. My hearing is totally fine, bdw!
Crazy, thanks for sharing
This is exactly what it was like when I was growing up I couldn't read till I was 14 and even now I have a bad time spelling. I remember when the teacher in high school tried to get me to read for the glass and I would break down and refuse. I also have it with math numbers are the worse for me and the slowest to learn growing up and even now I cannot rely on my math skills
Writing and reading are a genuine for most people when?
I can't read this wait t and f
b and h they just confuse similar letter
Not all of us struggle with written word! In my case for instance it's to do with working memory-the speed at which I can recall information
Some dyslexics read the way I read and it’s pie you reads things backwards and forwards and then it freezes in your head and then struggle and then people start to laugh with you and then you don’t feel OK and then just Leksich number to some people have words the word shows
I read it ok, but think I am looking at patterns and guessing likely words. I think it does show that its harder to read ordinary text.
Also, when assessed, i was told that many dylexics use the memory when interpreting words. It's a very interesting, short and helpful.

"Writing and reading are a pain for most people. Even though this is true, some find it tough to put in significant effort to decode the written word. By quitting your sight into the chaos of basic, I hope I might be able to create some empathy."
I got diagnosed with dyslexia in primary school and we had an extra class after regular school to get better in certain classes. I also later looked up every word I was unsure about and with time I kind of remembered the right words or recognised when something in my writing was wrong. When I was about 18 years old (maybe earlier) I decided to start reading in my free time also, still was kinda slow but later when I wanted to get over my sleep disturbances I just read till I was sleepy then I had the habit of reading for at least 30 min. per evening and at some point I noticed that I actually could read better/faster than non dyslexic people. That made me think if my diagnosis was wrong or can just everyone with dyslexia can learn this or is it dependent on the type of dyslexia? (I still need to concentrate to not forget some words or letters while writing.)
When I grow up in the 80s the stuff I was not understood. I was learning to read and my parents would say sound it out, so I would try and sound it out. They would shoukd yes, now read it. In my head I was like shit I'm not getting this. I have improved a lot but I can't picture what I read. So I stay away from it. I love fixing things.
When reading this I think my dyslexia tripled
I created a simulation to give someone a more complete experience of what it was like for me to try to read when I was in school. Print out a page of text. Then take a large posterboard with a single hole cut in the center that's about a third the size of one character. Lay the posterboard on the page of text and start reading.
Im writing and some reading dyslexic. I mix up letters and words on accident occasionally when I right, and when I read I do the same but more mild
Thank you for that video of dyslexia I have dyslexia
I’m fine reading out loud, it’s reading the next line where my eyes get lost for some reason. Also can’t remember anything I read out loud, but memorizing math and science formulas were the worst.
In my country we learn our original language
I was diagnosed with dyslexia in my last year of primary school (aged 11)
1 teacher of mine would get really mad at me and the other dyslexic kid would disuss our work during the language that we had didnt have to do caused a lot of mental damage
As somebody who is dyslexic I feel that this is very true
My dyslexia is usually more like my brain reads the words in the wrong order or I have trouble tracking a single line of text with my eyes so I will end up switching between two lines as I read. Sometimes I do mix up individual letters but not all that often. I also have a hard time writing because I will mix up vowels or similar letters. I can read and write fine and I often scored higher than average on reading compression but I have always been slower at it than most people because I have to slow down so my brain doesn't jumble things up.
this is so accurate thanks
I am a dylesic and it’s more of reading the words in a book instead of the story I don’t mix up stuff like that. I just add extra words and place that they shouldn’t be.
Back when I was in grade school that's how I would see the text now that I'm older I can read a little bit better than I did when I was younger but every once in awhile when I'm about to read something it looks like that
I am dyslexic, but one of the best readers in my class
I dont have this type of dyslexia but when I was youngwr I used to only be able to read a word if it's placed where it usually is. If it was placed in a dofferent part of the sentence I couldn't read it since thats not how I memorized it. Although even now I sometimes skip sentences or need extra time process the information in a sentence. Spelling will also be a forever struggle.
Sometimes I'm struggling so much to read directions that my brain freezes and i just stare at the page--only to figure out (finally) that it's not even in English.
I was diagnosed with dyslexia as a child but I love stories and at some point I became a avid reader. I like to think that in my first language it's hard to tell that I have it, training helps however there are things that are more difficult for me than others, like decoding words I'm not familiar with or if I try to learn a new language- learning new vocabularys though the written down lists is basically impossible.
For me it's like the order of letters jumbels around and the ending of words disappear. Doable if it's a word I know but if I need to decode a new Word (in books it's mostly names) it's driving me crazy. (There's this study text with the first and last letter right and everything else jumbled up, it took me embarrassing long to see that😂)
The mean part about it is that as a child to get to the point of knowing a word is just f* hard.
Writing and reading are a given for most people. Even though this is true, some have to put in significantly more effort in order to decode the written word. By putting yourself into the shoes of a dyslexic, I hope I might be able to create some sympathy”
I got used to reading like this in the span of this paragraph maybe just try harder
I'm so used to having to read things that look like this to me that it wasn't very hard for me to understand
I have this problem with reading numbers out loud but I was in honors math 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
O my gosh so freaking TRUE
I'm just letting it.I struggle with my work and it makes me angry for straight and it makes me sad phoe😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
I see the gaps between the words and letter morn than the actual word it’s self. I’ve found little tricks to help with writing I find if I write joined up I’m less likely to get a letter back to front. After about 10 minutes of reading off a white background and I’ve got the worse head ache
My dyslexia isn’t like that it more affects me on spelling and speaking.
As someone who hid their dyslexia for 65 years This brings back all the gut wrenching worring I did as a kid. Being the dumb one was never fun, only to return the next day with the same problem.
You werent dumb. They didnt have the tools to teach you properly. They failed YOU.
Your not ‘dumb’ your wired ‘differently.’ Nothing wrong with that.
There is phonological dyslexia as well .
