    I got diagnosed with dyslexia at 12, my school thought i wouldn’t go far. At 15 they said i had no hope at passing any gcses; i passed all with b’s and c’s. At 16, after my GCSEs I decided to take english A level (along with 2 others), i passed with a B grade despite teachers pleading me not to even consider taking it as one of my A level subjects. Now im working as a TA in a primary school and im so proud of how far I have come. So what i have to use a dictionary to help me spell or that I cant read out loud to the children. I use my lack of organisation and word jumbling up in my favour, its almost a joke to my family and those who know me well. I want to inspire any of them who may be struggling as I never had a positive role model like that. Don’t let dyslexia stop you!

    I've been struggling with finding the best book, video, resource, etc. to show to my 9-year-old son when we tell him, "You have dyslexia". There are books out there, but wouldn't it be kind of ironic to introduce your child to their dyslexia using a medium that they find so distressing?!
    My son seems to love gaining information from video, like famous dyslexic, Ben Foss, wrote about in his book. It's pictures and audio play to their strengths. So I was looking for a video to appeal to kids that would explain not only their weaknesses but also their strengths, much like the information found in the amazing book, The Dyslexic Advantage.
    There are so many things I love about this video! One amazing subtle aspect is that there is very minimal text so the story is told in pictures. You would think this would be a given, but many videos I've found actually include a lot of text. They describe many of the main difficulties but end on the strengths, which is what dyslexic kids really need to know. (They most likely already know their weaknesses.) They even incorporate a little humor, which is helpful, because, hey, if we can't laugh about dyslexia a little bit, we may just end up crying all the time. I was so excited to find this great resource! Thank you British Dyslexia Association!!!

      Nah dyslexia sucks. Reasons dyslexia sucks for me. Got held back, got made fun of when I read in front of the class, got pulled out of class every day to try to help me, using auto correct for 1 in every 5 words, homework takes 2x as long as it would take a normal person , I even skipped school/class because I knew I have to read or work with a group because I thought they would make fun of me. I try to keep it a secret from friends even though I’m really close to them. I’m not good at any subject even math. Spending hours after school to get specialized help. No, dyslexia can’t be cured is not a disease. Even a teacher asked me that because he was annoyed that I asked to many questions. yes the left and right thing I still mess up to this day. BTW I’m 16. So in conclusion dyslexia has been a burden for me and others around me and is not superpower at all. 👍
      On a good note though, I just transferred to a private school where everyone has a learning disability. The geometry teacher here is dyslexic so this will be interesting.

    In elementary school when I was first diagnosed I was just happy that I didn’t have to take the spelling quizzes but if I think back to it I can still the remember the feeling I got when I still had to do them and I would get it back with a 0 on it. I remember the humiliation I felt while everyone else talked about how easy it was and I sat there feeling like an absolute idiot. After that my mum took a course and then became a tutors, which I get she did to help me but now she tutors other kids as a job and I can’t help but feel a little used. Like my achievements aren’t mine but hers because she tells the people she tutors about how well I’m doing even tho I have dyslexia, and I get and am happy that it gives them hope but As stupid as it may sound it makes me feel like I was given it, not because work hard to get it. I have also told almost no one at my high school that I have dyslexia. I didn’t plan on this when I started high school but then I got scared of that look of pity, god that look kills me, so I told no one other then my closest friends. This year though my teacher casually mentioned that SHE has dyslexia, which I’m so proud of her for telling us but when she said it I heard the whispers. They weren’t mean or anything but they were talking about someone, I didn’t catch the name but they said something along the lines of ‘doesn’t so and so have that’ and I get it they were just talking but that proved to me part of what I was afraid of, if I tell people then Ill be that kid they were talking about when they heard the word dyslexia. I’ll be thought of as a part of my disability and they will think I am less capable and I have not worked my butt off to be that kid with dyslexia who needs extra help. Now I don’t have a problem with getting help when I need it but people assuming I need it makes me feel terrible especially when I’ve worked so hard to get to where I am. But worst of all, worse then people thinking less of me, is that pitying look that you know has good intentions but that makes you feel like something that needs to be saved, something that cant make it on its own and just something that need pity.

    I 'm dyslexic (diagnosed). I managed to finish my studies at the university. It took me more time, had to work harder then others but that is ok. I can understand how something works or how it is made in seconds and I can fix a lot of things with no instructions. Learned english by myself. I speak 4 languages total, I read really fast adn understand everything I read in 3 of them. I read books with no effort and I really enjoy it. I am able to help my children in studying their homework (6th grade), what if I need to check every single words I need to write and go quite slowly or have to uncover the letters of a word one by one to be sure I tell them to my children in the wright order? I deeply understand maths and science so I can explain it to them better then any teacher they had till now and I did that for my friends children too. Who cares if the way they do maths have changed complitely? My gift of dyslexia helps me understand it. Dyslexia has made my life difficult in many ways and easier in a lot of other ways. An early diagnosis helps a lot :). Good luck to everyone and never forget that our different way of thinking helps us find solutions in problems other people can't, just like they find in things we can't!

    I can totally relate to this as I don't have the 'common dyslexic problems' I get the blurry effect on some days. When I write I write in a fist grip to help my writing be neater. I get head aches while working. I have a love and hate relationship with reading. It gives me like sea sickness but then I enjoy knowledge. But I have low concentration. If I am not kept busy I will start doodling tapping with my fingers. Daydreaming etc. I struggle to hear what someone says with loads of background noises. I can hear the word oreo and think they said lollie. I still can't so the alphabet, vowels or tie my shoes laces right. I ain't good at catching unless it's a big ball or most team sports. It took till I was 6 for me to finally get reading. I still struggle with spelling I couldn't spell simple words until I was 7. I still can't do all my time tables but I do try hard. I still can't do left or rights without visualising my hand being held in an l shape and even then it took a while for me to see the l shape. I write with a fist grip and without looking most of the time as it causes me to get a headache. I am seen as a tpee (nerd) as I try really hard and seem really smart. But I fail in maths because of times tables and I see numbers and words that are not there. If I get something I can zoom through something really fast. But if I don't I lose concentration and start doodling, talking or daydreaming.

It’s extremely frustrating not being able to read properly especially because I want to study to become a Paramedic. Also the other day I was in the car with my family and it took me a solid half an hour to send a text message that was about half as long as this message!

      HI, I had well sometimes still have the same problem when talking to people. If they say many things at once I usually stay on the second. But there is hope. I found if you pratice meditation or some kind of mindfullness you get your mind to listen more and it helps to find ways to organize yourself (study, thoughts..). Create a system to study ... find ways to practice cause dislexic people might have problems with words or sounds but with action and movement they don't. That's why they are doers. Don't be afraid to try even the strange things. It might be strange to others but perfect to you.

Like I skip a line or reread the line on accident, so I have to use my finger to help me. I also read words that I have heard before but I can’t really say it until a teacher helps me. I also have terrible grammar. My friends always tell me this, but like when I’m typing or writing the word down I say it in my head thinking I wrote it down but I never did. Another thing is I can’t describe anything. My parents or teachers ask me how I did something and I can’t desrcibe it. I try to but it doesn’t come out the way I want it to. My English grade is terrible. Suppose to be in B track but I overwrited it and when into A track (normal English)

    Hi, I am a medical doctor and a dyslexic.
    I was never been properly diagnosed with dyslexia until i learnt about it in medical school. Growing up, i was always slower compared to my siblings and friends academically. I only able to start reading at 8 years old after my school teacher personally give me extra classes to teach me how to read and I'm really grateful that i have such a supportive teacher.
    Now, I still struggle to read (i take at least double the amount of time of normal people to read), write, typing, memorising sequence and easily confuse between right/left. But that doesn't mean that i can be a great doctor or person. Being a dyslexic doesn't mean we are lesser than the other. We are just built differently and can be successful just like other people. Don't let dyslexia stop you!

    Great video that shows differences that adults and children can understand. My child has dyslexia and struggles with her spelling as she often writes her letters and numbers backwards. She has worked very hard at this through repetition and has improved drastically great video to raise awareness as a parent I definitely appreciate this.

    Dyslexia is the ability to move BEYOND Lexis ( words in Greek) and experience 3D Life through a Multileveled, Cosmic Perspective. It moves the human race thinking forward and what is more, is that the dyslexic brain has a HEART of 'WE' that guides its genius. I LOVE DYSLEXIA!

  • @rachelryan1370

    I really wish more people understood dyslexia for what it was. I've always been confused with my lefts and rights, always held a pencil a slightly strange way, my favourite activity as a kid was playing with lego. I could visualise sets and how to make them. I loved taking things apart like walkmans, record players, furniture and toys to see if I could learn how they fitted together and rebuild them. I was a fine student who loved reading until I started secondary school, with the number of subjects and work I crumpled, became more and more disorganised and frustrated.
    At the start, I thought I was smart, at age 10 I'd read every book in the children's and teen section of my small local library. Every famous five book, every Percy Jackson, every Anthony Horowitz. I loved classics like Great expectations and Sherlock Holmes.
    But by the time I finished secondary school I had read 5 books total in a year (all for classes). I was constantly frustrated at my ability in school. Everything I did seemed to take me longer. In those seven years, I skipped the majority of all my homework, only doing the really crucial ones I needed. And every homework was late.
    I blamed myself, though I was lazy, and I grew depressed and angry.
    My sister was never a reader, and my parents decided to get her screened for dyslexia.
    I thought there was something wrong with me. I asked to be screened too. My dad told me there was no chance I was.
    But I knew I struggling and something was wrong, and besides Percy Jackson had dyslexia, and I always found that character very relatable, he seemed to share some of my traits and frustration.
    I told my dad that I should be screened too, and he eventually agreed. The funniest part was that my dad was a trained specialist in special educational needs. I'd always shown signs looking back, but they were never recognised because if I was a decent reader I couldn't possibly be dyslexic.
    But my gut was right. The screener showed indicators. I was finally diagnosed at 19 with dyslexia.
    I've got so much help and support on my course now. It's still frustrating sometimes, and I'm still quite disorganised, but compared to the feelings of inadequacy among my peers for years, it's a massive relief knowing.
    I'm always very open about it, on one hand, I've had close friends who haven't understood and asked why I'm still studying if I'm struggling, but I also have friends who have listened when I explained some of the smaller lesser-known parts of dyslexia. I'm usually the driver and struggle when someone tells me to turn left or right, always hesitating. My friends understand this and have helped by putting a hand out to show me the direction or tapping different sides in front of them. It's all small things but I love them so much for trying to help me when I explain what I'm finding difficult.

    I was never "diagnosed" or was told I have dyslexia. I recently found out when a friend of mine told me after I told her that I sometimes mix up the letters b and d, o and a, j and g, and others too, but for some reason, I can mix up numbers too. Like 1 and 9, or sometimes, I mix up a 2 for another number. Are the numbers part normal for a person with dyslexia?

    I haven’t told anyone at my high school that I have dyslexia, it’s not that they wouldn’t understand or bully me, it’s just that I can’t stand the look I know their going to give me. Their going to give me a look of shock then pity and I hate that look of pity so much, it’s because of that look that I will be constantly afraid of them thinking less of me or giving me less work. But the thing I hate the most is that I can use it as an excuse, if I get a bad test I can say “I have dyslexia so...” and people will just nod like yeah that makes sense and that sickens me. At the beginning of this year my teacher mentioned she had dyslexia and when ever she writes she says bare with me I have dyslexia and it makes me want to scream. I get that’s it’s supposed to be an explanation not an excuse but to me it always sounds like what I try so hard to avoid doing.

    For a relatively new video, I believe that the term 'people with dyslexia' is a more appropriate term than saying 'dyslexic people'. From listening to the video, the British Dyslexia Association are putting the disability before the person rather than the person first and the disability second. Nobody should be defined by their disability. We should aim to use more inclusive language such as a 'wheelchair user', 'a person with a visual impairment', 'a girl with a hearing impairment' etc!

      Dyslexia is a real thing affecting 5-10% of the world's population. Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Tom Cruise, Pablo Picasso, Richard Branson, and Steven Spielberg (among many others) are famous dyslexics. There are many studies on Dyslexia. If you'd like to read some, I could send you a few or you could google them yourself, your choice. But it is a serious thing that can trigger anxiety and depression among most dyslexics because of the lack of confidence we grow up with. Please don't bash something you know nothing about. It's like saying your family is a bunch of a**holes, when in reality, I know nothing about them.

    I have a lot of trouble understanding how someone could literally see the words moving all around the page as my friend's child explained recently. She says she sees the words moving upsidedown and turning backwards.She seems to mean it literally. I have no issue understanding having poor reading comprehension, as I have a lot of trouble reading and retaining Japanese kanji or Korean. I can relate to it in that sense. I don't really grasp the literally seeing things moving that aren't moving, though. I wonder if anyone can explain that aspect of it to me a little bit better. Google searches don't seem to bring up a lot of info about that specifically; they usually just have general blurbs about how dyslexia affects reading comprehension. I'm more fascinated by the actual experience of seeing words tossing around the page.

    I think in every country in the world should have assisted technology for adult people with dyslexia help read and write mandatory. In school, All kind of libraries, courthouses, State House, government buildings, trade schools, organizations that help you find jobs, Banks, credit union colleges. I believe we got far in with helping dyslexia people but not enough for the adults that's dealing with it everyday
