If you think you might be dyslexic but your not quite sure or if you know someone who is and want to find out more, then this is the video for you.
Dyslexia is defined as a learning difficulty that can cause problems with reading, writing and spelling. This is very true but I think it also comes with special gifts that I will discuss in the next video.
So, do you think you have dyslexia?
Do you often read paragraphs more than once before you understand it?
Do you avoid reading aloud?
Do you something mix up or forget letters when writing?
Do you often misspell common words regally?
Do you read slower than most people?
Do you have trouble telling your left from your right?
Do you struggle to read long words out loud?
Do you find it hard to repeat back what you have heard?
Do you lose your place or miss out lines when reading?
Do you forget the name of common household items?
Do you have a strong preference to colours / shapes / fonts?
Other characteristics that I should have asked as they are very common are:
Do you get confused when given several instructions at once?
Do you often walk into a room and forget why you went in?

me during my pj phase when i found out i have adhd and dyslexia: i am demi god
It makes for an interesting life. Pretty sure I have both 💪
@bana1220 bana1220 i was really out here saying i was piper and jason’s daughter
I already have those to so
xD I was the complete oppsist... as a child reading percy jackson i thought the very fact that i was able to read his adventures ment i wasent dyslexic ! love those books still tho
ok im to
“If you answer yes to two or more of these questions, there is a high chance you might be dyslexic”
Me: I doubt I’ll have two answers as yes.
Also me: has 9 answers as yes
Good score. There is a high chance you might, but this is just an interdiction but worth further investigation I would say.
I thought the same!! I said yes to all 11!-
I thought the same and got like 8 😂 but it's almost only spelling for me and my parents think it's cause I don't try enough but it's not something I can control and it's kinda a "joke" but it's not funny to me 😔
10 yeses my mom told me to get three things and as I turned I totally blanked on what the second one was - it was a paper towel
lmaoooo same
The feeling of listening to someone talking with you for a while and forgetting the things they said a split second later. Totally relatable
Very challenging. Found out tiredness mekes it even worse / harder.
I found this while looking up the clip where Tubbo said “You just got corrected by a dyslexic person.” to Sapnap.
Cool. Glad to have you here. We'll found 🙌
LMAO YES EGG MOUTH NOM
SAMEEEEE BUT IM ALSO DUYSEXIV SO IT WORKS! I WAS DIGNOSED WITH DYSLEXIC SINCE PRIMARY SCHOOL BUT IM HERE ANYWAY HI
Yup same
NOOO I WAS LOOKING AT THAT VID WHERE TUBBO SAYS TO SAPNAP HE CANT READ THE SIGN BC HES DYSLEXIC AND WENT TO THIS
Omg i have the memory of a goldfish ;^;
My short term memory is shocking. I have to work hard on stratagies to help me remember but still struggle lots.
I said yes to all of them to
same.
Same
You already said that dummy!!🤪
I was diagnosed with dyslexia sense elementary school, what on earth am I doing here
Your most very welcome. Even if you already knew you were part of our dyslexic family 💪
Same bro same
Same 😂😂
I always see these kind of comments like I don't know why you're here but ok Lol
Since* lmaooo
When I was learning to drive, my driving instructor would say "Now we are going to turn left at the end of this road". I would understand and hit the indicator on for right...this happens so many times and still does.
Or sometimes if I'm walking with a friend and there is something on the path, I would say, watch out to your right but I really mean left.
I get that. The amount of times my very understanding driving instructor had to say 'the other left' was well lots. It hasn't got much better for me but it keeps me smiling 💪🙌👊
Just experienced it today 😭😭😭
I also forgets to press the clutch before changing the gear .
I mess up the indicator every damn time and the instructor was calling me dumb, brainless, stupid repeatedly 😭😭😭
So came home to check about this and i was right i am indeed Dyslexic
ok =)
My dad told me to turn right and I hit the indicator for right, forgot which way was right, and did a really hard unprotected left from the right turn lane… somehow I made the turn just fine, he started pointing his hand in the direction I was meant to go after that…
I did this at a junction and I had no idea why I had done it because I heard him say left, and I indicated left but I went right I thought I had panicked and didn’t realise until after what I had done and it took me a while to come to terms with what had happened (he had to take over very quickly)
I am dyslexic and I really struggled to explain my symptoms to other people. Thank you for making this and so easily explaining what happens to people like me on a daily basis! Subscribed!
It can be really hard to articulate. Glad you found it helpful. Hopefully more content coming soon. Good to have you around 😎
There is a Dr that you can get in touch with Dr Oyalo on TH-cam. Am excited to share about how his herbs works perfectly in reversing my son Dyslexia. now he can learn and write with his behavior ok and he can now obey instructions
Can I just say I am 36 but I have to put this for 30 years so if I can help you just text me or email me I would love to help xx
Same.
❤ I so relate hugs
I scored 11 out of 11,and i want to adress this to my mum but she always blows things off like this and says "oh you're fine" or "you're just being irrational/a hypochondriac" :,D
💯 💪. That's a difficult situation to be in. I would mention it to someone at school and see what they say. They should be able to help you get tested and help you tell / involve your mum.
@Alice Lenoci Look into Primarily Inattentive ADHD too (It use to be called ADD). ADHD and Dyslexia are a very common combination. I was just diagnosed last month with Inattentive ADHD, and I think I may also be Dyslexic too. I was shocked when I learned that their are different types of ADHD. I thought you HAD to be hyperactive to have it, so I just never thought that I did.

“My child is NOT dyslexic!”
The child in 12th grade: who are you again, and where is that thing?
On the left or right?
i am 28 years old. and recently find out i have dyslexia. I am a teacher now and read about learning difficulties in children. I have all those difficulties about learning how to write and read when I was in first grade. I always wrote letters wrong. I wish we have more educated school counselers back then. i remember my mother was so sad about me not reading and writing correctly. even today i am having a very hard times learning names of persons i just met😂 and dates are like nightmares to me ( birthdays ext.). and sometimes writing in english, it's not my first language but I am happy I learned. :)
The struggle is real. I so relate. Now you know though you may find stratagies and confidence to help you overcome some of those elements. My new channel will be all about this so message me any questions and I'll make a video answer.
New channel link at end of this video :)
I also went into teaching. I have several other colleagues that are also dyslexic due to teaching being a very creative field - well suited to dyslexics. Dyslexics make the best teachers because they have compassion for those students who struggle as we did in the 70s before D was well understood. So, Go Sammy;0)
Hey, same. :)

I scored 9 out of 11...
Oh dear :(
That's a great score. Well done 👊💪🙌
Same
Same😬
Lol I did too, oh boy
@@PeteLuther you dont know what 9 11 is
Here's a short story of my Dyslexic moment: So my dad asked me to turn on the coffee machine and I asked him where is the button for it. He told that it's the "3rd button on your left". And I took almost a minute just to find this button. It was really frustrating and my dad got mad at me
Dailly dyslexic struggles are real. People don't always understand how difficult some things are. Be kind to yourself. It's OK to not be ok at things. We're all bad at something!
That's happens to me all the time, it sucks and then others say I'm dumb and I'm not listening..
That tends to happen to me I can't find things right because of my dyslexia. But you shouldn't be judged because of that, Remember that :D

I said yes to 8 of those, I really wanna know 100% so maybe I’ll check after this whole corona thing
I would that's a solid score. Always good to know 💪👊🙌
I got six but have taken other dyslexic tests like this and got highly likely that it am dyslexic so I’m gonna get it checked out too but don’t know how to tell my parents
@@ReadingwithAyla same bro me neather
@Ayla Watkins or anyone else with this problem my parents made me get tested turns I have dyslexia and ADHD so if u can't tell your parents tell a teacher or an adult u can
I said yes to exactly 8 too lol
I've been thinking that I have dyslexia for a while but because of my age my family is like 'nahh'. I just proved my case...
Lots of info out there on dyslexia and support so reach out and don't let or what others (even family) say about it / you.
my mom just told me that she always belived that i was dyslexic and now I'm looking up things about this and I'm pretty sure she is right. The only thing is that I enjoy reading and I'm confused right now
Being dyslexic dosent always affect reading and is different for everyone. There may be certain things do and don't struggle with. A test would help you clear up some of this but for most of us it's a learning journey of discovery and finding ways of overcoming / covering up these issues as we go along.
Don’t self diagnose, but I’m dyslexic and I’ve written 9 novels this year… dyslexia has no limitations if you work on yourself, I love to read too, it just mentally drains me to do it.

"If you got more than one, two or more you have a high chance" I send yes to them all-
Aced it Jc. Way to go 💪
Me too
I answered yes to several of those questions never really diagnosed with dyslexia. When I was in seventh grade in the mid nineties, my teacher told my mom to get me evaluated but they said that I was just immature for my age. Later as I got into high school and ready for college getting Nothing higher than a c at the most. Suffered horribly with reading comprehension and writing. I was at home on summer in college, watching tv and the Cosby show was on. It was the episode when Theo learns that he is dyslexic. It was a light bulb moment. I realize that I could relate to every thing that Theo described was happening with him. So I did research and took what I learned from the show about organization and don’t worry about finishing my degree in college like many students. I took 2-3 courses a semester and color coded everything for each class with a separate notebook or binder. Changed my major four different times and ended up getting my AA in early childhood education at 28, stopped going to school and worked as a preschool teacher for several years, four years later, at 32, I went back to school to complete my bachelors degree in elementary education. Graduated with my degree in elementary education at 37, since I worked part time and went to school, had no social life on the weekends since they were devoted to my homework aside from the two hours I had at work while the students were napping. Now at 41, I am currently a first year teacher teaching reading and writing in a third grade. I teach my students that as long as you do your best and keep trying that you can overcome any obstacle.
That's an awesome testimonial. We'll done you. You have grit and that will get you far and all this I think will make you a great teacher. Thanks for sharing 👊

"Disorientation" is a really good way to describe the feeling at least. When I was a kid, on top of my dyslexia, I had a difficult time understanding why you can't add more information into words. So instead of putting words in order you just add the descriptive word into it. So it would be "App5le" instead of "Five apples." It took many years to understand that you shouldn't write this way and I was really confused why you couldn't just combine things like this. I also can't recognize people including family members outside of context. It's made life very difficult.
It really dose feel like disorientation. And it takes a lot to orientate your words back into an order others understand. Thst why we have to work so much harder than others but also how we can see things in a different way to others. But thats my next video. Keep crushing it 💪👊🙌
This “app5le” is me 100%
I just loved it. i can remember much better appl5e than just "five apple"... I've always made mentally visual associations like that, for things written and spoken. I think I should look for a diagnosis as soon as possible...

I had to restart this test loads of times because I kept forgetting my answers.
Thanks. That will really help me. Lol. Did you pass?
I kept forgetting what he said
lol me to
I am crying 😢 I said yes to almost all and I can't learn like everyone.
I read everything many times to understand it right.
We all learn differently but we all can learn. Reading is just one way.
I scored 8. I went to school in the 1970's, went to special remedial work, it was a waist of time. Only found out 8 years ago. I cried with happiness. Dyslexic is a gift, as I am very creative, and great with people.
I've got absolutely allllll. Me and my twin brother are very dyslexic. I live for autocorrect and people just remembering stuff for me. 🤣
I have twins and wonder if they will be (their 9 momths old atm) Apparently if one has it the other does to. Its a twin thing.
I’ve spelt gas wrong many times and I miss or read lines like twice
So easy to do. Dyslexia makes us have to work so much harder on things like this. Keep trying though Soph and use a bookmark. There's no other way to stop that!
It literally took me about 10 seconds to read your comment 😅
i usually put gap instead of gas
@@PeteLuther lol not even lying it took me a solid 2 minutes to fully read that sentence
Also question
Is putting different words or taking out word or mixing different part of the sentence up a dyslexic thing or am I just weird bc I've done it since learned to read
Twice sometimes more 😂😂
So glad you're raising awareness! Great video!
Thanks Nicole. And thanks for watching 🙌👊💪
There is a Dr that you can get in touch with Dr Oyalo on TH-cam. Am excited to share about how his herbs works perfectly in reversing my son Dyslexia. now he can learn and write with his behavior ok and he can now obey instructions
My answered were yes for all the questions 😅
💯 Top of the class 💪
@@PeteLuthereyy we studied really well for this test! I also go full marks🎉🎉
I said yes to 8 of these. I was told in school that I had a "learning disability" but wasn't told specifically what it was. My mom even just told me it had something to do with hearing and prossessing things. I was pulled aside for my English and writing classes until I was in 7th grade. I got better with being convincing that I didn't have issues with reading, writing and spelling. Maybe I should go and get checked out.
I would if you think it woukd be helpful to know. Worth the money I'd say.
I said 8 of those two I guess I have dyspraxia
I do have dyslexia and I thought it'd be hilarious if It showed me here otherwise, but you got me with two first questions
Good to know it works 😃
Hello, so after taking your test and answering about 6 with yes... it gives me comfort knowing I am figuring out what is wrong with me one video at a time lol
Glad the video helped Kat. Dyslexia really is a gift, though it has these few side affacts. If you. Have Dyslexia, your actually a genius. See my other video if you like and remember there is nothing wrong with you. No-one should be defined by what they can't do 💪👊🙌
Love this. Laughed so hard at the spoon incident because I live that daily. My husband says living with me is a constant game of charades, which hey, he knew what he signed up for.
Ps, I answered yes to all except one which was a sometimes.
Being good a charades is a helpful skill and can bring fun into the relationship. I see no down sides to this! 😂
Yes to several I was diagnosed in 4th grade. I'm affected with mathematics too, cant remember a sequence of numbers and have a very hard time with geometry, also I get lost alot the world is flipped in my mind so left is right and so on. I failed alot if classes in college and dropped out because I was so discouraged, I'm going to enroll once again but will be open and honest with professors so we can work together.
I can relate. I was actually OK a maths but cant remember a sequence of numbers at all!
That's great your going back to college. If you let them know about your dyslexia you should get the extra help you will. Need to pass. I got a degree that way! With that and a LOT of hard work. Cos it takes me so much longer. You'll crush it this time with the right help and determination 💪🙌👊
So, we answered " yes" to all of them and we've thought that we're dyslexic for a long while now, so we're definitely gonna let that get checked out. Thank you for the video! :)
Sweet. Let me know how you get on. Thanks for the encouragement
I was late diagnosed dyslexic (mid 50s) and it was one of the best things I ever did. Not only did so much of my life and struggles make more sense, but the testing org also gave me counselling to help overcome the psychological damage left by being undiagnosed for so long.
Dyslexia does bring problems, but also gifts that are worth celebrating.
I started watching this thinking" oh I could have dyslexia, but maybe not" then I answered yes to about 7 or 8 of the questions. I thought it was normal then you said "if you answered two or three yes then you could be dyslexic. WHAT!!!🤣😥❤
If you think you might have Dyslexia then the only way to really know is with an official diagnosis. This is just to help you see if you might have it. I think having 7/8 is a solid score but it could still go either way.
I just have mentioned this, dyslexic people can read fast or at a high level than others. This is just one of the common symptoms. As a dyslexic person, all through school, I could read fast and high levels than my peers. But if it was read out loud to me or I had to read it out loud, I wouldn't understand it.
Thanks for sharing. I wish I could read fast. Lol. Dyslexia definitely affects different people in different ways and this is good for people to know
I finally faced there was something amiss when my daughter's reading skills surpassed mine when she was in Year 3. I was in my 40s when I was confirmed dyslexic by a colleague and I cut myself a break for not being perfect. Very healing to know why I am different. Thanks for your video Pete. Keep up the fab work!
Thanks Amanda. Really helps to know. Focus on what you can do and you will go far. My 3 year old had a better memory than me already! I have just had twins though and so not sleeping much but he there we go. Lol
@@PeteLuther I would love to have twins! Worth the sleep deprivation;0) Good luck;0)
I needed this elementary school back in the 60/70, lol. We did have a test every year at school back in the 60s and so forth and I always had eye tests all my life for strabismus
😀
I almost got in a argument with a friend bc i switched the words around in the sentence, then when i realized i apologized like alotttt.
It's really helpful for the person your communicating with to understand you might do that. My close friends and colleagues have learnt to interpret me of check with me as I definitely have a tendency to use the wrong word! Not your fault but great you were able to apologise for falling out. Well done you 💪
@@PeteLuther thank you! They understood completely and didnt take it to heart! Which made me happy and im glad we have that type of relationship :))
Does anyone else have problems speaking? they find themselves thinking one thing and saying something else; it's happened to me where I've said the wrong think like 3 times before (knowing it's wrong) before I said what I wanted to say to begin with. Even names I get wrong even If I've known people for a long time I'll call them someone else name and then I can't remember their name (it's usually temporary and short time - then I remember it)
My thought process and speech pattern is also choppy because I can't remember simple things. What is wrong with me???? :-(
Yes thats quite common. Think it's a short term memory thing. We have 8 week old twins as I write this and I have discovered that sleep deprecation pushes it to another in level. I can't remember a word from most sentences! (well almost).
I find people are understanding on the whole if you explain. I try super hard to remember people's names because I know that the most important word to them (their name).
This is y my best friend through I was dyslexic in tha first place everyday at school I say like 6/13 sentences/words wrong it gets annoying tho
Answered yes to all (& just mispelled 'yes' & then corrected it). Im 49, & this has NEVER been suggested to me before. It came up in conversation at work today, I over heard a bunch of examples of dyslexia and realised I had/do them all ... will be doing more research, thanks 😊
Wow. Reaserch is a great plan 👊💪
Thank u I have dyslexia and your videos are so helpful and healing
I shared this with a friend who helps to care for me
So he understands why i write read hear do alot deferently
Its pained me alot
We work so mych harder than people realize
I got picked on my whole life
Thank u ❤
Man thank you for video i feel like all your questions is yes to me its just sad my parents couldn't see my problem in my early years but im learning how to maneuver with issue i have its kinda hard when u older tho then youg age but im managing
It's a life long battle but one worth fighting. For me now I'm confident it what I can and can't do (to a point / still human) I find it makes life quite interesting and has taught me grit and determination which is more important that a successful life than almost anything else.
Wow, how surprising to get some validation that yes, I'm dyslexic!
Congratulations. Part of the gang 😎💪👊🙌
@@PeteLuther I always wondered why I would make a new word from two different sentences that were one on top of the other. It's been a hard world but I somehow learned to hide it. I was one of those people who "didn't live up to my potential, didn't apply myself" according to my teachers. I wish more teachers were trained to look for these symptoms. Thanks for the encouragement!
I said yes to so many that I lost count. Both my course director at uni and my therapist suspect I have dyslexia. It was never picked up on because I always did very well in school (although I struggled). I will be going for a screening test soon. Thanks for the vid!
Dyslexia often makes you super good at some things and often with coping strategies it can go undetected. Very helpful. To know and understand yourself though. Good. Luck with the test 💪👊🙌
Ahhhhhh I had a wart in the middle of my right hand when I was younger to remember my right from my left... never thought of rembering it as my writing hand! Thank you for that
It's served me well.
I forgot what a pizza cutter was and I caled it a roll knife
(I am dyslexic)
That's a creative alternative. Did they get it? I find most often people know what your trying to say.
When writing, I often leave out words on accident and my sentences, or paragraphs look atrocious.
Relate 😁
@@PeteLuther I miss out letters too ounce in a while
This was one of them videos where you're like wow it's me, thank you.
Useful video, thanks - I struggle to understand written information in a noisy work environment but I find that reading out aloud helps. When work noise reduces then I lower my voice, as long as I can hear myself, ha ha!
That's interesting. Have you tried noise canseling headphones? Office noise / noise can be a huge distraction.
@@PeteLuther Good advice as I've thought about buying some headphones!
i often miss a line or words when i’m reading
you have it for sure but I do too
Same. Do you know if you have it?
Pete Luther i’m not sure yet. i’m to embarrassed to ask my mum to get me checked
@@VurzemWolf you could always speak to a teacher at school. They should be able to help you.
@@VurzemWolf
the first time I told my mom: she took it as a joke
second time I told my mom: she didn't believe me
.....
fifth time (in a serious tone): she asked me a few questions that I answered
sixth time: still didn't believe
seventh time: somewhat believed
Now she is asking everybody else except a psychologist whether I have dyslexia or not.
Litterally have all these problems 🤦♀️ , even read dylexic as die-lec-tic
Edit: just realised I spelt dyslexic even had to copy how to spell it from the-.. discription ;-; (gosh I need help-)
There is lots of help there. Here included. You got this 💪
Man. Answered yes to all all the while in my mind thinking wow all the moments of private struggles have been put into 1 video
The struggle is real. I also said yes to all. You got this 💪
me: yes to almost all
also me: been in honors english classes and doesnt understand how
Your a genius, no doubt. This is your gift. It's a rare but great mix of gifts. 💪
Sometimes my dyslexic self ends up here for no reason. But honestly I’m very lucky, I worked so hard to get a leg up on my disorder (by writing 8 books this year) so yeah… I can write fine, I can spell allowed now, and reading is a lot easier. I remember years ago my mom sat down and told me how I needed to over come my disorder, I didn’t think it was possible, but ummm… I guess I did it.
Love your attitude and story. Well done you. It's really hard work but worth it. You got this 💪
*I forget how to do simple things like 2+2 or how to spell “of”, and my mind tends to forget how to do everyday tasks. Because of how often i forget or just don’t know how to do simple things my teachers assume I’m not listening, and I think that sounds so stupid considering I’m one of the smartest people in my class, I’ve told the school that I’m sure I’m dyslexic but sense my parents never confirmed it to the school they never believe me. And I’m scared of going to middle school because where I live if your parents don’t confirm something the school assumes that you’re lying and you’ll get in big trouble*
That's sad that people are not understanding your struggles. Teachers especially should be taught in understanding things like dyslexia. Hope you can get tested at some point in your life. I'd push for it if you could.
I forget how to spell "the" before 😅
I answered yes to all the questions, thank you for this as I might need to get tested
Gled you found it helpful. Let me. Know if you do get tested. Think it's worth doing to see 💪👊🙌
So helpful as a teacher... thanks bro
I'm so pleased it helped. Having an understanding teacher would have been really nice when I was at school. Thanks for watching. Can I suggest my 'gift of dyslexia' video too. Think you will find it insightful.
here’s what i answered:
no
sometimes
yes
yes
no
yes
sometimes
sometimes
yes
yes
yes ( i can’t read cursive at all)
fyi: i’m a very fluent reader and love reading on page books but i relate to the spelling, reading out loud, and other sorta non reading realated things you talked about
any ideas?
Because there are different forms of dyslexia I believe there is still a chance you could be. Some dyslexics are very good readers. However at the same point some of the symptoms are had by non dyslexics. I can't tell you more than that but if you wanted to know more you can have an official test or you can read more about it and or subscribed to my new channel I'm launching next month. Link pined to top of there messages, 😄
I got 10... I can’t get checked out thoug because of chrona 😂
Corona has put everything on hold but when it is through and things have calmed down you can 💪
Other than the creative spelling, I check all these boxes. There are a few words I seem to never remember the spelling for, but overall I spell very well (which I attribute to receiving high quality early education). I've learned to cope with reading difficulties in my own way, and even though I DO need to re-read things often because it doesn't come out right the first time or two, I was able to persevere because I developed a huge love for reading in late middle school thanks to thriller and sci-fi novels. I dropped out of high-school but eventually graduated college and am now an Elementary school teacher who LOVES teaching reading 📚
Yes to all, I also do the little trick to remember left and right that you did in the video
L Is for Left - write is for Right. Helps if your right handed but this one I use more often than you'd think.
another way to remember is to hold your hands in front of you with the thumbs sticking out ( right angle to the pointer finger) the pointer finger and thumb that makes the letter L is your left hand.
Wait I thought I was just really dumb. Omg I feel so much better.
Omg I’m so sorry I didn’t mean to sound like dyslexic people are dumb or anything like that sorry
You are so not. Its sad that so many of us feel that or are told that.
@@kenn_cowley4173 we didn't think that. It is how a lot of us felt I reckon 😒
I was diagnosed with it ages ago but my teacher still don't understand ahhhhh
Some teachers I guess just don't / won't get it. Hang on in there.
@@PeteLuther thanks some of my teachers get it but I'm in high school so I change teachers each year and that means showing my teachers what I need every year!
You have such a calming voice
Why thank you. Never been told that before. Feel free to watch ALL my videos 😂
Very interesting video, thanks for sharing!
Glad you liked it. There is quite a lot to being dyslexic that lots of people don't know about. Including many dyslexics.
Pete Luther That’s understandable!
i got 8/11 and i have been questioning if i am dyslexic or not as i am in loads of groups at school and need extra help
That's a good score Nance. Always good to question. Hope you get some answers.
Yep, I think I have dyslexia alright, I even forgot how many Yeses I got🙄😂 I'm also very inconsistent with pronouns. I sometimes address my Aunt as Sister the same with my Uncles (Brother)...
Classic mistakes. From experience tiredness makes it so much worse. I can't remember most words right now! (well not quite but it's quite bad)!
I answered yes to all of them and I've done some tests too on the internet to find out if I am dyslexic. I'm 30 and still struggling through dyslexia. I have a very low vocabulary and processing speed. Although I agree to most of the things you said in the video, but I dont really think there are any gifts we are born with. I dont know about others but in my case, I dont have any gift. I am also not creative at all. I used to be pathetic academically throughout my school life until I realised I just need to be more focused than others. I suffer from so so so many problems due to dyslexia I cant even begin to tell. I lose my attention midway a conversation and then have people repeat. This is fine when happening with friends/family but not on a professional level. I cant pronounce the simple words properly and have had people mock me for these things. I wish I knew about my problems earlier in life then I would have chosen a different career path. I chose journalism and in journalism, you just cant be dyslexic. You need to have a good command over a language (i dont have a command over any, not even my mother tongue, bengali), you need to be attentive while taking interviews (i am very very inattentive and forgetful) and you need to be good with words (words scare me). I loathed journalism until i quit. I am sorry, but i dont think it is a gift at all for me.
I've hardly ever heard anyone mention the fact of being able to read out loud fairly fluently, but if asked about what you've read you've no idea (Reading Comprehension). I can read OK in my head, I do lose my place etc. Ask me to read out loud and I can sound fine and make intonation, but if you asked me what I'd read or questions about it, not really a clue. The other thing is taking notes while someone speaks. I can take notes, it's painful to do and messy, I wouldn't know what they'd been talking about as I can't take in the information and make notes. I'm also better when things are more interactive than just being talked at e.g. a lecture.
I think many people with Dyslexia, where it wasn't picked up or they weren't helped when they were younger adapt and if you tested them or asked some of the questions you just did they might fall through the net as they've adapted. Many Dyslexics are highly intelligent, creatively adapting and finding ways to help themselves retain information or how to work out reading words etc.
I think dyslexics can be very good at adapting, working had and finding solutions and yes maybe do well on my test and others like it. Hopefully though this is a good start. Thanks for your comments
I noticed with my daughter that if she reads something her comprehension is 10% or less. But if she listens to something her comprehension jumps to 90 % or better. I think it is because she has to work so hard to get each word that she loses the meaning of the whole sentence. What we do for her school work is, she does the work alone, then I read it all back to her so she can check her answers. Cyberschool is a blessing this year as I can give her the accommodations of reading things to her that she was not getting in public school.
I keep confusing does and dose and I have to think for 10min to know the difference
I spelt this one wrong every time untill recently when I learnt the does i keep misspelling has the vowels together. That was a game changer for me!
Hello, I’ve recentely been researching on dyslexia and dyscaluia and it’s has come to my knowledge that I might have them, because I always have struggled with math, it just doesn’t stick to me, and reading and spelling don’t doo good to me either, I always mix up words, letters, and read then reread again and stuff I got a 9 on the test but my parents don’t really believe me, my Dad sort of does he’s looking more into it, because I was concerned i has it, but my mom says my teacher or tutor would notice but what if they where not like uhhh, trained? I guess for it, I just I don’t know who to get help any suggestions?
If there was a teacher who you could apeoach or a learning support department in your school that would be a good starting point or if your dad can help that's also good. It depends alot on your area. 9 is a good score so it might be good to investigate further. Having an official test costs but sometimes your school. Can do an assessment that gives them an indication of support you may need. Let me know how it goes.
I mentioned it to my parents and they say I don't have it I'll ask my teacher tho
Btw ( this is my other account if confused)
you cannot trust teachers to know. They are not usually taught about dyslexia. I made the mistake of putting my girl into public school when I suspected dyslexia thinking they would know how to help her. They messed her up more than I would have if I had continued homeschooling. NOTE, she is not our biological child and I was afraid to try to teach her when I did not understand it well enough. I wish now I had stuck with it and had her cyber school use a different program for her They later 'threw out' the program she was in because many parents complained it was too intense for the kids. I was using cyber school from pre_k to 2 yrs of grade 1
@@mommoms7064 my teacher now's a lot about dislexia though, she has had some dyslexic students infact, but thank you 👍
When you display the letters all giggled up like that in the video title banner I find it very insulating as a Dyslexic person.
Don't mean to offend. Ment to just be cool and it's kinda how I see things / in a jumble. Know it's not like that for everyone but it is for me and I think that's why I like it. Sorry.
Yes to every one of those. I've known and accepted I was dyslexic since third grade (my dad is dyslexic) but I have never been officially diagnosed myself.
Maybe you don't need a diagnosis for yourself. You did good though. 😎
yes, yes, yes, no, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, no, yes
I was tested when I was younger, I'm 14 now and I wear colored glasses to help me read, just a second ago writing this I spelled KNOW instead of NOW. id love to chat with you and see if you could give me a few tips!
My video of all my tips has been put on hold as my wife has just given birth to twins but I will. Be making a video on that so stay connected and it will be out at some point. Any spesific questions though email me.
Or see my Instagram or Facebook page 💪
I am thankful for Auto-correct, with out which no one could understand me ;0)
Vivian Baxley, since you mentioned colored glasses, may I ask? When you read without them, what do you see and experience? Letters or words moving or changing?
@@mommoms7064 sorry it took so long for me to respond. I personally experience a feeling of the letters and words being blinding or feeling like they are sinking into the page. It is not a fun feeling. It also makes it harder to understand words
I said yes to 10 of them. When I was ten my mum got me tested for Mears-irlen syndrome and it came back that I had it. I was tested in S2 at school for dyslexia and it came back that I was dyslexic but they told me that it was just mears-irlen symptoms showing up. I don’t know what one it is but I’m like 90% sure I’m dyslexic. What should I do ?
Personally, I would try and get tested officially outside of school from a qualified educational psychologist. Then you would know. It's not cheep though I understand
@@PeteLuther thank you. I’m in Scotland. I think it’s covered by the NHS.
I've been learning and investigating dyslexia for the past 2 years or so to figure out if I have it and the more I read and learn about it the more I think I actually have it and I mostly do have it.. and thinking of my childhood I think I might've had it since then but because I was in a third world country there was no way I could've known that because there isn't much information or awareness about diseases like dyslexia, ADHD, bi-polar, depression, etc. But I taught myself about these diseases because it's very important to learn about them and increase awareness especially to the third world countries.
I agree that its so valuable learning about yourself and what conditions you may have and then to learn about them and how to work with them. There are ways to get tested officially but its not essential. If you have most of the symptoms then the support is going to help you.
Well apparently i don't have dyslexia but man your voice is so soothing
Thanks. Your very welcome to bindge watch my content any time. Lol. Hoping to start uploading again soon 💪
I always read certain sentences more than 2 or 3 times when im reading a book and find myself unable to process the meaning out of it for a few seconds. I thought thats because I'm losing my concentration often.🤔 What about that?!
Hard to say as I don't know you but for most dyslexics reading is hard work and so takes more conentration and therefore makes keeping concentration hard. Losing concentration is also a comen thing these days because we are often super entertained. For me I find listening to books while moving the best way to get information in but it helps if I'm interested in the book and some just don't get me and then I find it impossible to consentrate. I think I also have ADHD which is an attention defisit disorder so that's a factor for me. These days there are lots of different ways to learn aside for reading too. It's good to read though and practice. I here there are ways of helping with this issue but that's beyond my knowledge there.
Same! It’s just like I don’t process it for some reason
Anyone else with dyslexia have problems spelling the word does
These 4 letters confuse me so much why is there an E in the word
IT IS ALWAYS THE E IN WORDS ITS SO ANNOYING
This one used to get me all the time untill. I finally learned to spell it resently (in my 40!)
My oldest son, and I believe we might be dyslexic. Excellent video.
Watching this as a person diagnosed in childhood. Spot on!
Thanks Tiffy. Have a great day 😎
I said yes to everything
💯💪
I got 9 out of 11
Great score 💪🙌😎
1. I barely ever read a paragraph, I simply read enough for understanding and skip some of the part that is useless. But sometimes I read a paragraph over 10 times, if the paragraph really has a deep meaning, or if I can get some ideas from the paragraph.
2. I do not like reading things out, because I feel uncomfortable when the whole class stares at me.
3. No.
4. Basically no.
5. Not really.
6. No.
7. No.
8. Not really.
9. Nope.
10. Not really.
11. No.
Think that's a good way to read. Skip what you don't need and hoan in on what you do. I like that.
@@PeteLuther :)
Answered yes to 7. Thanks for this test.
Good score. Glad you liked the test. Keep going Diane 🙌🙌
I answered yes to a lot of these.
I've never been diagnosed and I never had help in school, but I'm sure I must be dyslexic based on simple observation.
Do you think you will get diagnosed?
@@PeteLuther Problem is, my GP's surgery is aggravatingly unhelpful.
I actually did go to them to confirm OCD and the Doctor basically shrugged it off and said if I think I have it, that's all I need..
But that is dead wrong. OCD might be pretty easy to recognise, but without a proper diagnosis, how can I officially say I have it. How can I get extra help when necessary.
Nailed it!
Well done you. Congrats 💪
I just laughed, you do exactly what I do to figure out my left from write.
Oh, I got 5. Oof
I strongly relate to the one where you're usually accused of not listening. I absolutely hate it and I always thought I just had memory issues. When i'm conversing with someone and it's a long thing, like a story or just very important, i will normally write down small bullet points on *main issues* that they're discussing.
For eg:
"So last week Monday, I went to the vet with my dog Lucy. They said she's just fighting with some fatigue and loss of appetite but that with the correct help, she should be back to her normal happy self."
I will write something like:
- Last week monday
- Lucy (dog) > vet
- Dog not doing well
Or if the topic is really important (anxiety, depression, bad thoughts)
I'll write down certain things and give advice on each point (if they want advice).
This does bother me a lot as I feel like such a bad friend and partner almost all the time because I can't even remember important details that they *just* told me but i am working on improving that.
Sounds like you already have some good coping strategies to help you. There key for you and those close to you to know to. Thanks for sharing 🙌👊
Excellent Video
Thanks Paula. Appreciate you 🙌
I’ve been saying dislexia instead of dyslexia... and I was already diagnosed wit it too, about 3 years ago
Thanks for your coments. Good you have already been diagnosed. Does it help?
yes, I am dyslexic, everything you mentioned I said yes to. The teaching system doesn't support people like us.
I found the same. Bout time the teaching symptoms do right? Something to push for I think.
Short, but thorough video.
Thanks man.
You are great! I could answer yes to literally all the points you mentioned. And me being bilingual and speaking almost perfectly 2 other languages... Gosh so hard and confusing. Switching languages etc. Furthermore, I think I have ADHD cause it takes such a long time for me to focus. Great video
Thanks Les. I'd love to be able to speak more than one language. I'm told I'm good at acents though. People in Bulgaria were impressed with my Bulgarian even though I know very little cos of my accent. You got skills.
@@PeteLuther aww thanks. Learning accents is a skill so props to you for that. Great channel as well
Mmnn..a Loud Resounding YES to All but 2 of these. & they are NOs Only because i worked insanely Hard to overcome them.
i am an INFJ who also has Asperger's & Synesthesia ..was diagnosed with all that back in high school.Guidance counselor put me through a Series of tests to prove to me i was smart enough for College. Apparently College Agreed. i was accepted at Columbia 2 weeks after he sent out my application..
If you would not mind...i would Love to see you do a vid on Synesthesia?
I'm a very slow reader, I read sentences over and over, and I do spend time selecting certain colors and fonts when I work because they help my reading comprehension a lot.
I also have problem with expressing my thought , using wrong word , difficult to find the word , forget word , slow repsond when someone ask me , forget event in past , difficult to get plan or detail on my head and how to know remember step to do a thing , talk without carefull thinking or do a thing without carefull thinking , forgot wrong place where i put a thing, miss word of someone, disorganised , difficult to organise logic
Me to to ALL of that. Makes for an interesting life. Have you any hacks you find helpful. Still not made my video on dyslexic hacks but I have at 43 got lots 💪
Nice Q&A. I counted 12 questions, and strongly answered yes to 9 of them (the others are more like "sometimes" or "not always"). When you say to get tested, what specialist would that be?
9 is a strong score. You would need to find a local to you educational psychologist to be tested officially. It's not cheep but depending on your situation could be worth it. Pete
@@PeteLuther Thank you for taking time to give a feedback. Needless to say, I was surprised at how much I answered "strongly" to. I will defiitely consider checking out educational psychologists in my area. Cheers.
Being dyslexic is hard but thanks for say what it is like!!
My parents have known that I have had dyslexia since I was really little, when they tried to get me help it started off by being told that I read well enough for a girl, then that I was too smart. I then I was told that they wouldn’t help me unless I was failing, then at a few weeks after turning 15 was given an iq test which if I scored a certain amount on then they would help me, I scored a 120 which is more than most adults so I haven received help. A National honors kid who was born smart can just deal with the issues that they have because they are already doing well enough. To be honest I find that reading subtitles and doing brain reading workouts by myself is helping though.
You should be supported however clever you are! To help you achieve your best. Still, we'll done on being smart. You can do this. Thanks for sharing
Answered yes to 4 and now after getting seen to, I can add dyslexia to my list of mental health challenges that I have. (Dyslexia, dyspraxia, PTSD, Pyrophobia and Atelephobia) I'm the god of all gods !
