I tutored a dyslexic adult once; a big challenge was convincing him to read aloud -- years of being poorly judged by other students and even teachers left him with no self-esteem. Anyway, he read several books to me (with varying degrees of success), and we concentrated on slowing down his brain when he reads (there were a fair amount of writing assignments as well). Now, years later, he buys and reads books all the time, just for fun.
Boen2000 Your AWESOME B-2000!
Boen2000 .... your message will be very beneficial to anyone who reads it. I still struggle with dyslexia and I'm 51, well educated, but the struggles I have are far to many to list here.
One thing that really helps me is to help others with their reading. It makes me slow down my brain, like you mentioned. I still hate reading out loud (but I do it), I hate speaking in front of a large crowd (but I give safety speeches, teach CPR and sing solos in church). I guess I've just accepted the fact that this is something I'm going to deal with forever and take it as a personal daily challenge.
Keep tutoring, you are a blessing .... and everyone you've tutored will benefit and remember you forever.
My ex bf is dyslexic, I found it so cute when he struggled to express himself and ended up hugging me because he didn't found the words. But it is not a funny thing to live with as an indivifual, a lot of common thing are harder with dyslexia added to the mix. So be gentle to people they're not dumb at all, the human brain is so complex sometimes some minor things are messed up. ^^
Wow, your description sounds exactly like me. I was severely dyslexic as a child. My elementary school principal said I was too retarded to be educated in the public schools. But, my First Grade teacher told my mom that I was amazingly verbal and clearly intelligent. My mom took me looking for specialists all over. They were hard to find in the '50s and early '60s. I was finally diagnosed and I learned ways of coping. I went on the get a law degree cum laude and a MPA from Harvard. Still, spell check is my savior. I can't spell, and my proof reading is pathetic. I'm 62 and I think I've been pretty successful. But, I still remember being thought stupid by my elementary school class. I think you will do just fine.
I was diagnosed with dyslexia at a very young age, which was a bit odd since it was not so commonly known back then (yes I'm old LOL). But as much as I have problems sometimes with it (I have learned how to deal with it now), it also helped with other things.
And to this day I can write in a mirror fashion (reflected backwards - readable if you hold it up to a mirror) almost as fast as writing "normally", which is totally useless, but cool nevertheless.
And thank gawd for Spellcheck.
Hugs to you guys. Always stay as positive.
James S James I LOVE your pic😉 and that fun-fact w/mirror is AWESOME!! I love your "gawd"! I say Laawwddddd! Your not old! Your wise😉😉
I need a boyfriend
Dillon, I also only discovered that I am dyslexic just recently. I can imagine this being a great relief for you :) Mine is mild but it really affects my working memory and speech fluency. I also struggle with reading out loud and often lose the line I was reading... It was never noticed by teachers as my reading and writing wasn't too bad and I compensated a lot with memorizing how to write words.... I'd rather not be able to read and write properly but communicate fluently and coherently... Dyslexia manifests itself in different forms in people. There are great aids and resources you can use while studying at college. Look also into ADHD hyperactive type, you might have a very mild form. You seem to be full of energy, sometimes even hyper and outgoing but this can be also just your amazing personality :) Good luck on your journey!
Well I can't speak for anyone else but I enjoy when you guys do comment back . It is like having a long distance friendship interaction.
I thought I have seen an experiment that used colored glasses for those with dyslexia to help slow down the brains receptors. Also, you should try buying a microphone and speaking your responses and other things you want to type. Let the software do the spelling. Used to be Dragon Naturally speaking was the main one. I hope these help
Chris Spohr AWESOME advice & suggestions Chris! This will help many!!
You can do so many other things that other people can't do.... you are darn near perfect in many other ways. Dyslexia won't stop you. As long as your man loves you what else would you need...! right?
OK, let's be clear there is not one of us who doesn't have some kind of 'disability' if you want to phrase it that way. We are all fine as we are. I can't do a handstand, do math, drive a motorbike etc. Nice to see you together (always), keep up that mutual support and kindness, nice to see it and experience parts of your life now and then in the vlogs.
Yes I am dyslexic. I am now 69 years old female and went to college. I had to work twice as hard to work with it. Yes it is hereditary. Albert Einstein, General George Patton,etc were all dyslexic. Proud of you Wyo Russ and sure enjoy your both.
Feel ya, Russ......I was in a car accident, and had a serious concussion, which still has lingering effects, more than 6 years later........point is, it gave me temporary dyslexia. I was in a doctors office and tried to read a sign on the wall. I thought to myself, "who was the idiot that put all that scramble of meaningless letters on that sign, it doesn't mean anything". Then all of a sudden the scrambled letters became meaningful words. I recovered for the most part, within 6 months. But, that experience gave me a window into what it might be like to struggle with dyslexia........Keep up the good work. You are doing a great job, and you compensate for the condition pretty well..... you probably feel it more than we see it. Thanks to you both for bringing us enjoyable content! Later, Jason.
Me too!! My brain gets in a knot while trying to copy text by hand from the lower line above the first line. You are both so genuine. Richard Branson is dyslexic and it didn't stop him!!
Thank you for this video. I just found out Im dyslexic. I've been struggling at work because of it. But thank you for sharing this, it really inspired me to move forward.
Hey Russ & Chris. Hi from Australia. I`ve found your videos and think you guys are so well suited, not to mention you`re as cute as a couple of frolicking ferrets... and that`s a compliment by the way. 😊 With regards to dyslexia... my partner of twenty years has it. She didn`t know why she couldn`t read certain things or spell, as various words looked jumbled... (just like you Russ), but I finally figured out what was going on. She made an appointment with the Dyslexic Association of Australia and was told she was in fact dyslexic. A thing that helps her to read is a thin, see through, pink piece of plastic placed over the page she is reading. I don`t know whether people are helped by different colors, but it sure helped her. You`ve probably already contacted the American Dyslexia Association, but I`ve taken the liberty of attaching their link for you. Wishing you both well with your endeavors. Regards: Tony. Sydney, Australia. www.american-dyslexia-association.com/
I believe being dyslexic my self, that dyslexia is not a disability but a learning style which generally education doesn't cater for! we're all good dyslexia also brings may good qualities like creativity and thinking outside of the box x
Thank you for sharing. My partner has this as well. Before it had a name he was made to believe he was "dumb" , until he got him self through college and cosmetology school!
I also have dyslexia. I struggled all my life with it, but even still I served on my High School newspaper as Sports Editor, on my Jr. College newspaper as editor in chief and have had some relative success in the corporate world. There are a ton of high profile success stories of people with dyslexia. Not an easy task though! We tend to be out of the box thinkers. But still, we misspell, miss on grammar, have a hard writing (disgraphia) and I even prefer to type as I tend to struggle in writing clearly (I call it tripping as I tend to miss a word as I am writing) often have trouble with math (discalcula). This has absolutely nothing at all to do with intellect. @Russ, you are a great example of this as you seem extremely intelligent. It's simply that our brains do not organize the data we capture in an effective way as do our "normal" counterparts. The biggest problem is that our educational system is geared to teach those "normal" kids which comprise a majority of the population. My youngest son also has dyslexia. The school didn't know what to do and didn't really have any program to help him. We had to put him through a tutoring program (we had to pay for this very expensive program ourselves) called Orton-Gillingham. It was amazing and made an enormous difference in not only his ability to read but also in his self confidence. Thank you for sharing this video. I have only recently found you guys (actually my boyfriend found you guys and showed me). You guys are amazing and I really enjoy watching. Thanks so much!
You may be interested in a program called Fast ForWord. There's a whole new branch of research into neuroplasticity and brain development.
The program, along with Posit Science, focuses more on neurological building blocks than it does "learning to read better". In the case of dyslexia, these building blocks are addressed through sound recognition, processing, and differentiation. From the looks of things, even as adults, there are new cognitive tools that can provide permanent results that don't come in the form of coping mechanisms.
I highly recommend the book "The Brain that Changes Itself", by Norman Doidge (available on audio). It's extremely interesting, especially when it comes to the woman who was so burdened by learning disabilities that she could hardly function. In her genius, she developed tools to rewire her brain and has developed some really great programs for children and adults.
Wow....though dyslexia is not my thing, I do relate, having learned in my mid-40's that I am ADD and it lit up the lightbulbs in my chandelier as I finally understood why I had struggled so much throughout my lifetime. I do appareciate your transparency.
The struggle is real... Hats off to you Russ
I give you props for being brave enough to share your story. God Bless✌
yes i have it and i can say for me it got better didn't stop me from doing what i love -performing... 30 years in it and its taken me all over the world. keep going and never give up!!! xoxo
Mark Feuerstein-- its the smile! The show is called Royal Pains.. since I started watching you guys, I have been breaking my head trying to figure out who you resembled & I couldn't pin-point it! Lol...
This is such a wonderful and important video. Thank you for making it. My best friend's little brother has dyslexia and he suffered so much in school. They never gave him the help he needed. I think it's so important to have wonderful people like you guys talking about it. Thank you. :-)
Hey Dillon, the way you described your struggles with reading, I couldn't have said it better. I have to use a blank note-card to help me stay on the right line while I'm reading. One of your fans "Boen2000" wrote a great reply to this video and pretty much hit the nail on the head.
Have you ever read the book "Embrace Your Dyslexia" ..... I think that's the title? It kinda hits most of the challenges of dyslexia ... but like you said, dyslexia is different for everyone.
One thing that's very interesting is dyslexia can also be caused by improper eyesight. For example: If one eye is stronger than the other, one eye will focus better/worse while your eyes are scanning the words on the page, and at the same time your brain is having to double process what your reading. It's like the brain has to put together a jigsaw puzzle.
The thing that's helped me the most is taking the time to help other's read, making myself read out loud a little bit everyday and mainly teaching my brain to slow down and process and enjoy. I STILL GET FRUSTRATED THOUGH !!!
Take care and thanks so much for your videos.

One tip: when writing, try to change the font after you've written it. That way when proofreading your brain will see it as new information and it will process it again, giving you more time. Also, Comic Sans, while being a font which is made fun of, has been proven to help people with Dyslexia read better. Thought I'd share this information with you, I hope you can benefit from it!
Thanks for sharing these experience with us. It takes guts to admit something like this. U are a great guy with strong character. U are lucky to have Chris in your side. I can see how much he feels about you. He is full of understanding and patience..U guys are such a great couple..PLS stay together !!!God Bless..
Keep on writing, and comment, warts and all! 💐 Going to take the tests! Thank you...😊
I am a dyslexic as well, and my mom and my brother are too. people accuse me of faking or being stupid but don't listen. be strong. it's hard but it's worth it to show them that you can do whatever you want regardless of disability
I hope that you never change because of this. Learning disability or not, you have made it to this moment because of what you are to this day. Just because you have this, doesn't mean we'll (the viewers and I) think of you differently nor should you. I hope for the best!
I'm on the autism spectrum which, in certain ways, made learning in school hard for me. The problem wasn't the learning, but instead making sense of written words. It's called an auditory processing disorder; I have issues with making some written words into sound (in my head or speaking) and understanding meaning behind some words.
Getting better as I get older but it's always been a bit of a bother when I need to absorb information.
I suffer from dyslexia and another learning disability where my brain processes information slower than the average person so it takes longer for me to learn.. So I understand where you are coming from and I am now working a full time job as a leasing consultant where I have to read and write constantly but i get through it and am great at what I do.. Thank you for sharing your story
I can relate to a few of the things you mentioned about your dyslexia. Thank you both for sharing.
My brother has dyslexia too. But I was bad in reading and writing too. I was lucky because I could easily trained for myself when I was 10 years old. I took a book and trained hard. Repeating, repeating... brain, brain, brain... so annoying... And now I am training my English again to understand the Americans better.
I'm dyslexic and have to get my boyfriend and family to proof-read everything for college. Hope it gets better for you Dylan!
We have a friend who had a very successful business & up until he got injured & was retrained through Workman's Comp. & disability l, he had never learned to read nor write. He went all that time hiding his "secret" and believing that he was just dumb. All through High School etc. he would memorize everything & "forget" his glasses in order to test orally. Through retraining he learned he was dyslexic. They worked with him and taught him other ways to cope with his troubled areas. While he will probably never read as a hobby or for pleasure, (too many painful memories) he no longer has to come up with an elaborate story to stall until on of the 2,3 people that knew could be around to write checks or read contracts to him. The thing is, his business was a very successful businesses & well known in our area. From what I've learned about dyslexia, most of the people with is are very smart. They have the be in order to hide what they feel is a big secret. Most hide it well enough to graduate High School & in a some cases College, although, by then, they have usually learned what they have. It makes me so sad that in this day people have to feel shame over what is never a shameful thing. I think it's AMAZING the amount of success that some dyslexic achieve without reading! I can't even imagine it! I'm really glad that you know now that you are not dumb and never have to feel that shame again. You should be really proud of yourself. The teachers that continued to pass you should be ashamed that they didn't catch it. You deserved better.
Thanks for sharing, Dillion... I don't know if this is dyslexia, but I struggle when I have to read something aloud. I do fine when I read silently, but when I read aloud I struggle a little.....btw, your biceps are huge! 😃
I think I might have it too because I phrase sentences backwards like " there's a soup in my fly". I'm gonna look for some tests to do
Thanks for sharing. So many of us struggled early on before the educators identified the problem. We suffered in silence. Such a relief to know what it is and how to work around it. You guys are great. Is your B&B open for business this summer?
A friend has dyslexia..he uses a tablet to read books and conduct his business. He maintains reading (for him) is much easier on a screen . He controls the background and font size...he now LOVES reading. Like you he is very athletic and enjoys bodybuilding.
Many learning disabilities go "hand in hand", such as ADHD, and dyslexia. If you have health insurance, you can be tested. Otherwise, many colleges do testing, and have assistance for people with learning disabilities. If you have ADHD, there are medications to use to improve attention span. Do you ever find yourself "hyper focusing " on something or unable to organize tasks, etc ? There are deficits in sequencing, and numerous other assorted problems associated with learning difficulties. Take heart, many individuals with learning problems are highly creative and talented. Recently, found your VLOGs....you both seem like great guys. My spouse and I have a fourteen year age difference. We just had our thirty year anniversary together. Now married for six of those !
you've got me crying. I just want to hug you. My son is dyslexic and has dysgraphia.
WOW!! great!!!!!!!!
ever since I was a kid;my teachers always told me I had learning disability
I felt I didn't have a learning disability I just wanted to be a kid and play and not worry about school so seriously
& I'm off to collage well see how things go
Very very very nice video and I agree with you!! I enjoy to know that you have dyslexic and I still can not write well because of my bad bad spelling.
I've known I had dyslexic since I think I was in 2nd grade and I'm now a second year in college. My speech was good and math was my strength but when we had to do spelling test out loud I would get really nervous and scared. I now still have trouble saying certain words but my boyfriend helps me break it down and say it but. I want to special school that helped kids with dyslexia and ADHD. The teacher were special trained to teach kids like us. My mom adopted me and she has it in math mainly and she thought it was kind funny that her daughter ended up having it. So lucky she was able to spot it. She use to do my homework when I was in elementary school, I would tell her what I wanted to write/say but I couldn't put it on paper. I still hate talking to a group of people even though people tell me I'm good at it. The fear has stayed with me even now that I'm 19. Anyway I love your channel and think you guys are so sweet together and are both very handsome guys 😊😁
Speech and music are processed in different parts of the brain, so prose and lyrics come from separate places. Its like a person with a sever stutter can sing clearly and some stroke victims can sing but can't speak. I have a feeling you'll overcome any obstacle you may have and your mate will help.
Try using a ruler to read. I did that is school and sometimes now. Line by line.. have a good day!
I'm heavily dyslexic. My teachers used to tell my parents that I was lazy. I ended up getting two masters degrees and a PhD.
Dillon, interestingly enough, the brain uses a completely different area for lyrics vs regular speaking. We use this to our advantage when people are rehabilitating from a stroke. Many of the people with difficulty speaking, are able to sing what they are trying to say.
Kathryn Erickson Wow Kat! This is so very interesting!! Makes a lot if sense.. thx for this info as I know many will learn something new & benefit from it😉
If the words move on the page (like in rivers) or the words jumble together you might also have Irlens Syndrome. My daughter has it and when she reads, her eyes automatically go to the white spaces between the words instead of the black printed word. She reads very slowly because she constantly has to go from the end of the word back to the beginning of the word. She uses color overlays on the pages and it helped. She’s now a Jr in college and doing great. She wears glasses and her lenses are tinted gray. The fluorescent lights are the worst.
I know you feel, I think I might have a mild case of dyslexic. Reading was never my strong points. I get lost reading chapter books and I’m a very slow reader. Plus it harder for comprehend text so I’m getting into audiobooks more.
Ok, a bit late but here's my story.
I'm now 66 years old and suffer the same as you, but didn't understand it until I was about 40. I touch type, learned it in high school. However, about every 5th or 6th word, the correct finger moves in the right direction but on the wrong hand. I realize it instantly but by then it's too late and I have to stop and correct it.
I used to ride horses when I lived in Virginia. But I could never get "posting" down right. Can't follow a proper beat. Can't dance for the same reasons. Wrong foot, messed up beat. When I was learning to barrel race, my instructor would call out "left leg" or "right reign" but I would have to translate in my head "which hand do i write with... ok I need to use the other leg", of course by that time it was too late. I finally got him to say "inside reign" meaning to the inside of the arena, that I could handle.
I was 25 years old before I realized the signs on the Interstate didn't say Gas Food LOADING (I always was picturing a loading dock in a commercial area).
It affects my speech too. I used to stutter as a kid. I finally got past that by learning to pause while I try to form the word. When I point out the pauses to someone, then they can imagine how I used to talk. When I get nervous or overly exicted, sometimes I drop back into the stuttering.
I can read vertical columns easily. But when lists are run out in horizontal rows I'm lost. (I hate the new Windows control panel)
Can't spell worth a darn. Thank goodness for spell checkers. We each have different ways it affects us.
Now you know your problem, you will be able to recognize why certain things are difficult.
wyo, you have a video where you say you use a lot that shirt (your favorite), and you really love it lol I've seen a lot most of your videos and ITS true lol. Sending love guys i really love watching you
Same! Just keep at it, i know how it feels but eventhough you may have to read things slowly or re-read them for me i know that genuinely once im done I've taken in more of the information than most average people would reading the same text once. It also really common that if you have dyslexia you actually have really high IQ and dyslexics normally are very creative people.
Guys, this was so interesting!! Very educational & the list of celebrities w/this was shocking bc quite a few are my fav & I never knew & I have watched many interviews & this is new to me.. Thank you!! Just a quick cute IMO (in my opinion) Chris, you resemble one of my favs, Robin Williams & (tapping my chest ;) Wyo Russ, you resemble (gestures & some facial expressions) the actor whom plays a Dr in the Hamptons in TV show called... oh laaawwwddd! I can't remember lol but will check but your much taller!! 😉
you can get tools and adaptions like printing off or getting written stuff on blue paper can help. Also you can get a clip on blue screen for your computer screen...might help?? much love x
great video. it took me also a long time to read and spell... but i managed to learn english as a foreign language so everything is possible! hang in there
Don’t ever worry about a response to me. I am a retired 3rd grade teacher and am understanding. If I don’t understand, I try to figure is out and ultimately ask if I can’t figure it out. What you describe what it is like to read, I am experiencing that same thing due to a retinal issue and a cateract with a floater. During eye exams, letters and numbers disappear.
I too have dyslexia. I was nine before I could read. When you have a conversation, does your mind jump ahead of you? That is common also with dyslexia. Thank you for making this a topic. Jim
ive always been suspicious that im a bit dyslexic but didnt think until u mentioned it, that i could do a quiz thing online. So i looked up one that looked like a proper one and apparently i most likely am but should see a doc to confirm. :| Not sure what to think now, obvs nothing has changed, like ive already developed stuff that makes it easier for me to do my work. Also i get the music thing, i always find it easier to listen to a song and remember it, than read out the lyrics etc to remember it. Also lots of the things that apparently indicate dyslexia, i wouldnt of thought of xoxo
I also have dyslexia. Spelling, math and reading. Oh, there are microphone voice writing. We're you speak into a microphone and it writes what you speak. I have people who read what I write because it doesn't always make sense and isn't spelled right, and my grammar isn't the best either. I love spell check but it doesn't always work for me but it is a great tool to have.
I've had dyslexia all my life I even got into the army hey took a special English class most of junior high and High School but my senior year I had to take regular English my grade was two "E"'s and two "D"s the English teacher passed me he had no reason to but he knew I was going into the army so he passed me anyway and for some reason I passed typing it's because I never looked at the words well I mean the keys on the typewriter or computer but reading has always been difficult I have the same problem going from one line to the next it's just horrible it's been like that all my life and sometimes I catch myself talking backwards crazy huh. Anyway take care my friend it was a good discussion I don't know how long ago you did it I forgot but it was a good discussion I've been a new fan for about 2 weeks I really like your Channel anyway take care have a good night your friend Bob.
read (or get the audio book) The Gift of Dyslexia. Seriously changed my view on my own brain. xx
I'm dyslexic too really bad but what my problem is I don't same exact way as you're talking but when I read something a few minutes later I totally forget what I just read and that's part of dyslexic too hun just to let you know have a wonderful Thanksgiving guys
Wow this is very interesting.
I'm 40 and my partner is 57
we have the same issues as you do mostly. I'm full of testosterone and he's not ....... and I've always thought he's is dyslexic but never thought to give him a test ...... which I'm doing tonight! lol
I enjoy all your videos! keep them coming! by the way what does Chris do for work ....not sure if you mentioned? peace guys!
When I was a kid, I was good with big words (spelling them) but small words were hard; like the was spelled h t e, or and was a d n, like that. I got over it as I grew older, but it still happens from time to time (I'm 57).
My Dad is 100% Dyslexic & My Little Sister is 75%. It is genetic. My sister underwent Speech Therapy and Pathology for numerous years. She even had to go through Tutoring. She’s in Highschool and is in Special Needs Classes (has been since Grade 1) and she excels at her subjects. Especially Math.
I have dyslexia, but have a masters degree in Art History and one in Architecture. The only thing that helps is hard work and determination. But look one the bright side: Dyslexic people are more likely to be good at maths, have better spacial perception (I am very good at packing the car to the max when we go on holiday) and better peripheral perception than "normal".
try different color screens over what you're reading.i had a friend that had dyslexia and she had a few different color screens that she would bring to class that she would place over whatever she was reading. a lot of people with dyslexia have difficulty because they're eyes are moving side to side real fast and they don't realize it or feel it (kind of like an eye twitch) and it causes they're brain not to register or actually see words or letters (especially if they are reading a big paragraph or for a long period of time). but what the color screen does is makes your eyes focus more because the color catches your attention more and your eyes actually slow down to actually process what they are seeing. your adhd also plays a factor in reading problems especially when you read for a long period of time. your brain "gets bored" and tries to rush through it to get it over with. even if its unintentional. i have adhd.
I think I might have a mild case of dyslexia. I can read and write very well; however, when I read aloud, I sometimes have trouble getting my brain and mouth to move at the same time. Now, as an adult, I read a little slower and take my time to get a nice cadence.
Wow I do the same thing when I read. Wow maybe I should get check.
I know this is a year old but if you put a star next to the first word and put a red folder on your book. You can go to a special eye doctor can test you. If you’ve had ear infection and a lot of them. The eye with the most infection affects the muscle in your eye. Cross your eyes and if they don’t stay then you should go to a special eye doctor.
I can't remember the name of the company but I saw a show that they were making glasses for people that had these colored lens', they called them filters, that was helping kids, teenagers, and adults with dyslexia. They showed a map of all the places in the country that has those places, but I can't remember if there was one in Montana or not. I know that there was not one anywhere near Casper, like most thing's, there is probably one in Denver, Billings, and Salt Lake. You should research it. Good luck. I think you buy are way awesome.
I used to hate reading aloud at school, they should not make kids do that! I have something slightly wrong reading aloud, I seem to read to fast for my speech, so can miss words, stutter and make mistakes. Ironically, my job required me to at times read to groups of strangers (no pressure!).
I know this is an old video but I'm dyslexic too have been all my life it runs in my family.
I remember when I first heard of this variation. I was incredulous. I just didn't understand it. Ironically I'm a VERY visual person and tend to record my words visually - not so much by sound. I know hearing is more critical to language development but It makes me wonder how I would have processed language if I had been born blind. I have no issue with sound. I'm a musician ( used to be).
I'm. Dyslexic and reading and grammar it my biggest problem sometimes it helps if I slow down and say everything as I'm writing it but a dictionary is my best friend I'm just now getting used to explain it to ppl especially at work when my spelling if all crazy
I'm one of those people that has it a little bit, but it's only when I write. I'll mix up my b's and d's to no end and sometimes the letters with downstems like p, q, and j. But i've known people with really bad dyslexia, one guy told me that there was a big difference for him with reading handwriting, writing, and reading something printed like text, and typing. So maybe you could experiment with that and see if one or the other is easier for you?
Yes Me Too! But I navigate around it
What about numbers? Can you write an equation without mistakes? Or it's just words.
I respect yell so much
Bro i can barely spell dyslexia im dyslexic myself it really bothered me but i try to do my best but it usually takes alot of energy and focus to read stuff which suck coz i like reading stories but i still try to read but i have always been told i tell stories in person better than I written form i get tou but its just something you have to do
Great videos .. I subscribed :)
As someone new to your videos, I have some questions. What is the meaning of "wyo russ " ? What is the symbolism of the hand slap across your chest and then the finger position ??

Yes I agree!!!!!!
I am terrible with numbers! They can appear reversed from what their sequence is and single words can appear jumbled to me I have verbally done this also.
jay bennett I have trouble reading large numbers I often wondered if there was a type of number dyslexia

Also you can go to your primary care doctor and explain to him exactly what you're going through and he can send you somewhere to be tested for dyslexic so keep me informed let me know how things are going and if you need my help in any way or any questions I'm here
I heard there might be coloured glasses, I think red or possibly a yellow tint, (something like that) that can potentially help with dyslexiax. X
I have exactly the same issues!!
How is it that the schools you went to did not diagnose this? Tragic.
There are glasses I have seen on the internet. They look goofy but they work. My daughter is like you. She likes to be on stage. She memorizes her lines too. She get scared to death if she is asked to read in a group. I've always been afraid to read in a group. I was a pharmcutical rep. I had to say and spell all the words in my drugs package insert. I would be so fearful of the test. If you got blow a B, you would lose your job an d be sent home. I got through some how.
Ahww......the way Chris looks at you, there's so much love in the way he looks at you! I can really tell you guys are genuinly happy with eachother :)
My mom has dyslexia also. The thing is that she loves reading, she doesn't have a problem with it. But spelling and writing are quite difficult for her. She writes words like you say them (for example => word = wurd, present = pressent or something like that).
If you are still looking for a way to get officially tested, go to a psychologist. He or she will do a series of tests with you including a reading and IQ test. If there is a large enough difference between you mental capabilities and your reading and writing abilities you will are considered dyslexic. I am dyslexic myself and I was tested this way.
I have it too :) but I don't mind, I am handier and creative. I am now studying a bachelor for teacher fine art and design! :)
Pepita Aarts Pep-A! Good for you!! That's FABTASTIK!;) I love hearing things like this!!
