I have an addiction with watching videos about the pros of dyslexia. When I was in school all I noticed were the struggles but now I got my confidence back.
Being dyslexic is not an addiction. If you like “addiction” presented as an analogy….here it is. You have an addiction to yourself., which is likely unwilling to change for the betterment of the collective. I understand the feeling of being alone. Being dyslexic, we’ve felt alone our whole lives. As a result, unfortunately, we now automatically assume others and the rest of the world is against us. Put your ego aside. Go out of your comfort zone and seek guidance. Most people, ex-New Yorkers, naturally have the need to help others. Think about how good it feels when you do the same. I still mentally stutter…but I have personable skills that out way my fears and vocal lag.
@@trevorbronkema7332 I am a retired teacher of students with special needs. I diagnosed myself with dyslexia because when I was in elementary school it was not diagnosed. The teacher does not make a diagnosis. They refer a child to the guidance counselor who arranges for testing. The parents who notice their child is struggling can ask for an evaluation as well. If you have dyslexia it is a lifelong condition. You improve and compensate but there is no cure. I am not sure if you made a written error or you think dyslexia goes away. I am sorry you seem so resentful.
Shout out to my Suport teacher at high school without you I would be struggling today Mr McGowan thank you so much everyone should have access to someone like you
I had this during primary school and it was not noticed it affected me bad I found everything hard due to the lack of confidence high school was also hard but I meet a support teacher who stayed with me from the 3rd year to I left he helped me so much I only seen it later in life after I left I am so grateful for his help every school should have this everywhere god bless you struggling never give up it just take a little longer good luck
I'm 4th generation dyslexic. Luckily it is celebrated in my family. We may have hit difficulties at school but at home we were encouraged to excell anyway. My mother, three aunts, two cousins and myself all became teachers to make things easier for others like us.
Wow that touched me thosevwomen new the struggle I have kids with this issue its draining but I haven't given up on them luckily they are geyting better as I see their self esteem improve

I'm 75 years old. When I was somewhere in my late 20s (long before I knew I had dyslexia), I was reading a bedtime story to my 5-year-old daughter. I was that bad...my daughter took the book from me and gave it to her mother, and said; mum is a better reader than you! Embarrassment...!!! I sat there listening to my wife as she read to our daughter. She was good! The expression and words just rolled from her tongue/mouth.
Please read this and reply cause it will make my day. Thanks mate before today I haven't said to anyone I have dyslexia and what you said in the video is absolutely true. I am not good artist but I am good at calculating things , visualising when some one is explaining science or any other topic and I can do alot more but the few things I can't do is reading and writing. In fact I have book in my house I am using it as a sleeping pill yes you heard that right after 1 or 2 page of reading I will start sleeping lol. The one sad truth is no one is supportive I got punched, bullied specially by teachers ( calling me names for making low score).
I can’t keep up with mi dyslexic son his inclination towards robotics and computers is extraordinary, he always fixes my computer 🥰 I always tell him that am proud of him and his abilities to solve problems.. Especially computer problems are extremely frustrating to me...I get headaches all the time; on the other hand, my son fixes it with ease... God only knows who’s got a disability..
You could see the pain in his eyes of what he faced parents need to be more aware of this issue and learn techniques of how to deal with it so our kids can grow up confident and successful
I was diagnosed with severe dyslexia when I was 18 - I always knew there was something different about me as I would struggle with Reading and comprehension in general. However, since I had a good memory would excel in Maths and creative thinking. However, my teachers would label me as lazy and a lost cause. My passion has always been starting a business but with lack of funds and not knowing where or how to start I am just sat in my corporate job structured and unable to express my creativity. I always wonder if only someone listened to me when I was younger and was diagnosed instead of being told I was lying or was too clever to be dyslexic as this has really affected my confidence and sense of worthiness. Thank you, for the video it has really helped me see a different light to my dyslexia.
I am dyslexic and taught students with dyslexia. I was tested as being in the 99 percentile in visual perception and in the first percentile in spelling. I could go to craft fairs and see something I liked and go home and reproduce it without instructions. I made complicated models by pictures not the written word. I had students that could fix complicated mechanical items. I read well but do not remember what I read. I still can’t spell well. My dyslexia is mixed with ADHD. I remember what I hear. So with audio books, UA-cam and spell checking I compensate for the worst of my “disabilities”. Now how does one compensate for my artistic and different thinking. You can’t.
@@drewknight91 Drew how long have you been studying English and how old are you? Learning a language is not easy for most people. I studied Spanish but did not do well. I was more successful with sign language. The best way to learn a language is to live with it. There are also translation technology that helps you understand what is being said and helping you learn. Good luck and be kind to yourself.
Excellent speech! Dyslexia is a Superpower. The British NHS Healthcare states we are Problem Solvers. I used Music and Art to turn my daughter into a BOOKWORM. This is when she could hardly read, write or spell in school. Thanks to Councillor Kevin Griffiths my daughter sang in the park last Saturday. All original songs. Like Dyslexic John Lennon she has a way with words (Lyrics), so how can anyone claim people like my daughter are Disabled. We are Creative Audio Visual Thinkers. We learn differently! Celebrate it and own it. It's good to be different.
In the diverse landscape of Africa, individuals like me, Mafaro Mapiye, a 25-year-old Zimbabwean, navigate life with learning differences such as Dyslexia and Dysgraphia. However, amidst the misunderstandings and communication challenges, there exist unique strengths that define and enrich our lives. Our cognitive framework, different from the norm, lends itself to several unique abilities. For instance, my innovative problem-solving skills stand out prominently, allowing me to think outside the box and see new ways of completing tasks. This ability to find connections where others might miss is a trait that can be a game-changer in the world of entrepreneurship. Moreover, I have a natural affinity for technology, particularly Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. Utilizing these advanced tools, I have found a voice and a platform to showcase my capabilities and strengths. This tech-savvy edge is a tremendous asset in a world increasingly driven by digital innovation. Creative, observant, and empathetic, I embody the strengths typically associated with Dyslexics. I'm particularly adept at seeing the big picture, a quality highly valuable in strategic planning and leadership roles. My three-dimensional thinking ability allows for an excellent understanding of complex systems, a critical skill in my role as an architect. Despite the language and writing challenges associated with Dyslexia and Dysgraphia, my determination has led me on a self-learning journey. Just like an AI language model, I continuously analyze words, their pronunciations, meanings, and sentence construction. This relentless cognitive activity is not a setback; it is a testament to my resilience and unique thought process. Far from being limited by societal norms, I am driven by a spirit of perseverance. My journey is not dictated by traditional academic routes but inspired by the potential to adapt, learn, and innovate. In essence, I am not just a dyslexic and dysgraphic individual. I am a problem solver, a technophile, a creative thinker, an observer, an empathetic leader, and, above all, a resilient human being making my mark in the world.
Know exactly how you feel. Thanks for this video about the pluses. After a life of being told i have a disability in an inflexible, one size fits all education system its hard to think of it without shame. Ive had lots of success but it feels like it takes me so much more work than neuro typicals
When I'm reading a long article, I find myself losing concentration and drifting off from what I'm reading to something else in my mind... Then I'll get so far...and find out I didn't absorb what I was supposed to have read - so have to read it all over again. And other occasions; I'd have to read articles over and over again for me to understand/make sense to me.
Ryan thank you for this really insightful presentation. I have a checky observation though which is, I would love a talk like this for primary school kids. I think it would be great for them to hear their abilities validated by someone who can demonstrate how successful they have been. Thanks again it was really motivating and helped me make sense of my own strengths.
I’m 23 & I just found out I’ve had dyslexia since I was a child. After doing more research a lot of understanding came to me when looking back at my past struggles. As a kid I used to read words backwards but could never pronounce or comprehend them normally. Reading was a huge struggle for me growing up. The comprehension just wasn’t there for me. Same with my learning. I felt like I had to study 10x harder than the kid next to me to even get a decent score. There was so many times I’d put in hours of study only to get a test put in front of me & have my mind rearrange everything. It was super frustrating dealing with this growing up. I wasn’t being a lazy bum in the classroom and I knew I had put in the hours and set aside the time to get it down, but could never fully deliver it in a way that was deemed as acceptable. It definitely hurt my confidence because I just thought something was wrong with me. It’s good to know there are pros to it. I feel like those with dyslexia are just in a constant state of learning how they themselves learn because the normal way has never really worked for them. Just my thoughts..
I’m 36 and just found out two weeks ago that I have dyslexia. It makes all the sense in the world. Everything that happened to you in school, happened to me too. Try adding learning a different language too. That was my case. Omg 😢
I live in the Caribbean. It was very hard to go through our shcool system. I had to always think outside the box. Unfortunately even if a teacher that has knowledge of you they are rotated and you are lost in the system again. There was time when i was alone i cried, not i am over coming some of the bad moments in time of my life
Hello everyone its really wonderful to read your stories and thank you so much Rayan for sharing this video. l have an 8year old son who has Dyslexia the school he attends most of the kids there are suffering like my son they don't know how to read l really feel sad for this kids and my son. l really wanna help him but l myself have problems in reading too. And it's really sad that these kids don't have special teachers in the school to help my son and the other students with there learning.... And my son really loves to do activities but he gets very frustrated if he doesn't understand anything.
it makes me so sad that whenever i try to find a dyslexic space people would talk down on their dyslexia, and that breaks my spirit because they cannot see it in a positive light
It hard see any different when it shuts U out school, jobs and some relationship, solely base on words on a paper. For me I see as mixed bag you just got know when pull out the Ace card and remove all doubt.
Thank you so much Tom! I really appreciate your support my man. You are someone that continues to inspire me on the daily with your work ethic and resilience.
I am reading these comments and it seems the VAST majority are from people (like myself) who are Dyslexic. I really hope that a sizeable number of NON Dyslexics also watch these videos. If not things will be slow to change. I have laughed out loud when I heard a non dyslexic teacher tell ME what a dyslexic sees when trying to read. Such ignorance out there from people that should/MUST know better !
as a dyslexic i know for a fact dyslexia is an issue with the eyes ability to focus and that is what causes the brain to get wired the way it is i have proven this may times with many different dyslexics i know first their is a difference between how our eyes focus on projected light VS reflected light and we read better if the light is projected not reflected that's why all dyslexics i have ever met can read better off of a screen that is projecting the light into our eyes VS reading off of a piece of paper that is reflecting the light into our eyes another thing that helps dyslexics actually be able to focus is to alter the lights color like for me if i read threw rose red tented glass or plastic i can actually read better and for my oldest daughter her color is amber yellow as ware my youngest daughter her color is baby blue side not this is just my dyslexic brain noticing something but first you said 15% to 20% of people have dyslexic then you said 35% of US and 20% of UK entrepreneurs have dyslexia and you then say that the UK entrepreneur is twice as likely to have dyslexia then regular people how do you get that math from the numbers and then you say that the US entrepreneur is 3 times more likely then the regular population how do you get that math from the numbers you gave i think you need to redo your math now your math would be right is you were using the base percentage most people use and that is only 10% of people have dyslexia not 15% to 20% of people having it
Great video! I’m severely dyslexic, and I’m attempting to do a PhD in Marine Biology. Sadly, the Uni I attends lack of support is resulting in my probable failure. So disappointing as I’ve only recently just come to terms with the things I’m capable of. Like from videos like this one. Thank you for making this one. I wish my Supervisor’s would watch this.
Send it them on an email. What do you have to lose? They may watch it or they may don’t but its a step forward for you ot maybe others that come after you. I’m watching this cause my niece told me she might be dyslexic so I am trying to learn as much as I can to help.
Don’t automatically assume failure…I don’t know if dyslexia is positively correlated with execution. I have issues starting tasks/projects, however, and ironically, I thrive when I’m surrounded by people willing to brainstorm. More than anything, having a boss that’s appreciative, supportive, and guides your career is all we need. We need the right motivation. Surround yourself with the right people who actually care. The second you realize you’re having fun, is the start to so much more. Open your heart and others will help.
@@jasonaldridge1357 I like the positivity. But sadly, in my small area, in my small city, there is no one to surround yourself with like me, I’m it. Though, a lot has happened since this post. Namely, me not taking overt, covert and indirect discrimination anymore. Partly because of videos like this one. Luckily, we have discrimination laws firmly embedded, so it appears, when I searched outside my Uni, I actually got the confirmation and empowerment to take action. Which I now am, and I’m not accepting anything but equity. Suddenly, and not surprisingly, I now have the support for this action to potentially bear fruit. And, fruit for me and potentially future students. Funny how sometimes you just need to wave a flag of war to get support from your own organisation. I think some just didn’t think there was a need, some didn’t know any better, and some just didn’t want to take on the established, unjust policies. So now, I think key internal people are on the same page. So, when this all finishes, if things go to plan, all severely dyslexic people at my Uni will be able to get past a higher degree. This was going to happen sooner or later, I just happen to be “it” at my Uni.
My 8yo is dyslexic and hopes to be a Marine Biologist. Whatever education you can give your school and staff will absolutely help future students with dyslexia. Keep going. Keep fighting. You can do this, and because you will, my 8yo also has a better chance. Good luck!
I understand that dyslexia is hereditary. My son has dyslexia, too. My son had to have extra time to do his exams to get to university. He's good as a media engineer/producer in broadcasting technology. My grandson is not too brilliant academically. However, I don't know if he's been tested for dyslexia. He's very good at performing Arts. I wasn't very good academically at school; so, I was labelled a Dunce. But, in my mid-40s at college while training for a second career in technology I found out (after a test) that I was dyslexic, too. I also had to have extra time to do my studying and exams. I'm a good computer engineer, singer-songwriter, musician and actor. On the whole; dyslexia has rendered me from achieving my true goal in life.
Norbert Glasgow (NorbieG) I've just recently learned I qualify as that "dys" word after 76 years of anger. Dear NorebieG, Your Momma was right! Your abilities as a Multidimensional Thinker clearly showes You need to rethink Your goals and raise the bar on Your goals to more closely match Your potential... IMHO!
@@colbycomet I'm 75 years old, therefore, I don't have to compete with anyone anymore. The acting thing, I gave up a long time (about 20 years ago) after I'd embarrassed myself when trying to read at a casting in front of an audience for a part.
I love this video and I myself had meny simaler problems but I studied in computers at univercity and now work in IT for some reasion that stuff justed clicked in my head for me and as you can proberly tell from my spelling I am Dyslexic but it only made me work twice as hard to reach my goals
That's interesting that he said creative because I just learned I have dyslexia and thinking back English was my worst and most hated subject but I always did very very well in art
oh ya, I feel that, I was diagnosed with "LD(learning disorder)" but it turns out it was dyslexia all along and no one knew including myself until only a ferw years ago. Family thinks I'm making it up.... I never got real support mostly just, "you need to try harded." hmmm, reasoning, ok, but I can't articulate or communicate what I understand. I also have aphantasia so I have no mental imaging or visualizations. so, ya, no super power for you!
Ryan you're no longer "bad with words". From a long list of individuals you've referenced in this presentation, there is no single picture of them. I can recall just two names.
Hey Terewa, thank you for the lovely message. However, in the future I will do my best to add more pictures from the long list of individuals I've referenced in the this presentation. My bad.
I have none of the good parts of dyslexia and that just enforces my feeling of worthlessnesses and wishing I could just disappear ! I’ve been masking my whole life and I’m so tired. Wish I could be free to be who God made me to be. One day my thoughts will be clear, the world will make since and I’ll be at peace in heaven.
You have good part you need do discover it. It means you don't know enough your self. It depends on your social background also if you have a chance to find it.

Great way to shift mentalities over a general opinion and improve creativity!
The phonological or decoding issue can show up as an auditory processing disorder in addition to dyslexia and not-otherwise-specified math disorders. That was my constellation of learning issues.
Your argument is thoroughly engaging and fun! I also appreciate your insights as to what people with dyslexia go through. However, your comments are identical to every UA-cam video on dyslexia. We “us” (which isn’t a thing) shouldn’t be thrown into a bucket. Respectfully, and with all due respect, I don’t buy how you relate to dyslexia. It sounds like every other shrink trying to sell us and prescribe us pills. I was diagnosed dyslexic as a child, however my parents never told me until my 30s. I always knew there was something wrong, but I managed by creatively, in my mind, differentiating my own response to others through individualism. Finding excuses for anything is toxic. Dyslexia is what it is. We manage just fine…thankfully it’s all we know. How do you manage? What are you selling? Note that dyslexia has yet to be proven as theory, as it’s still a hypothesis. There’s no way I would ever be confidently capable of speaking my thoughts out loud, but that doesn’t mean I don’t catch horse manure. Hi How do you know that Einstein and Jobs were dyslexic? Do you have their medical records? Even if you did, you wouldn’t have the grounds to diagnose them.
Dyslexia isn't disability. It's a different type of person. It's like tall people and short people. We don't call short people disabled for being short or tall people disable for being tall. There is advantage and disadvantage to being short or tall. Same with this. For example found my dyslexia was gift in learning things fast once I figured out how to learn and today's Tech makes it so easy. That's like short person that has an environment were things are sized for them.
I think schools need to change big time or make schools colleges universities geared to people who have dyslexia ADHD only dyslexia is not a disability it’s you learn in a different way you can learn anything just in a different way with teachers who are educated in dyslexia yes people excel and dyslexia is a gift more mental abilities in other things most can’t do I’m dyslexic I’m 50 I had a teacher who back in the 70 s understood this and how to teach kids with dyslexia and I was able to read properly write as you can see study yes I still have some difficulties computers are one of them that ok the system needs to change
Honestly I find this sort of statement frustrating. I'm dyslexic I feel as most dyslexics do exclude from the mainstream because of what I struggle with. But because of statements like this I also feel excluded from other people with dyslexia. I can not see a single advantage or positive that I have from my brain working differently. I have spend decades of my life hoping one day I will figure out what my strengths are to be left feel less than all over again.
I have dyslexia, yet on questions answered, I exel expectations. I do poorly in writing test. ✍️ spelling in comparison I do great, I can verbally explain but, don't ask for a written explanation.
I think there are a lot of dyslexics that are just visual people. My daugther can spell words backwards when she closes her eyes and visualizes it with her minds eye. I know phonics doesn't work for many dyslexics. My daughter has had success with the Ron Davis program. I think there is a connection between adhd and dyslexics and trauma associated with not wanting to be in physical reality...
I still remember the day I gave up trying in school, it was in math 7x tables about 11 AM'ish Wednesday grade 4 , the teacher said I'm not hear to do this for you, and my reply was if you are not going to try I'm not going to try either, and I felt beta for it I started drawing in class, but its nice you can do art but how many employers care about any of that? and to make an living from art many are encouraged to do uni, problem is with uni you have to be good at spelling and grammar and all that stuff , sounds an bit stacked against you dont it.
I'm dyslexic and have none of these superpowers at all not a single one so not only do I struggle with normal stuff I cant even do the things that dyslexics are meant to be able to do
@@choosensheep352 dont get me started on god.. dyslexia is nothing but a curse as far as I'm concerned I have none of the so called gifts at all I'm not creative I dont think outside the box everything is a massive struggle
I hv hard time reading n memorizing stuffs, but Im pretty creative, I solved the stock market volatility problem so I can take advantage of it to make me some money consistently. I simply conceptualized what may work and engineered all the numbers, patterns n probabilities into certain parameters. I did some backtesting n it worked after some failures. I really2 think differently than most people, I hv a lonely life bcuz of that. Im the only one in the family who speaks english. I have low GPA but at work people rely on me heavily on difficult problems or job as I always able to find ways to do it. Please help telling me what kinda human I am.
I will get tested when I see my doctor, but all I do know is watch videos on dyslexia so I know for sure, I did a guitar in my bedroom starting on one wall over the ceiling and down the other wall + other stuff. Thanks for the video.
I am dyslexic. It is a neurological glitch that reeks havoc in learning. Let's say your a kid with a broken leg and no one sees your injury. So every day at school you have to run up a hill but you stumble and fail. You just can't do it no matter how hard you try. Teachers and parents tell you to try harder . That is what it is like . So many many doors are closed to you. Yes I am creative , yes I see the world a bit different. And yes I am ambitious despite dyslexia. I am a filmmaker and author. But saying it is a plus to have dyslexia I feel is misleading. Working around dyslexia to have good life is more accurate. I wouldn't wish dyslexia on my worst enemy.
hahahaaha people have always been saying think outside of the box. so ive always been trying to find the box in order to think outside of it ................ i think ive been doing it wrong
It's time that they should not pay attention on spellings in English as long as meaning of sentence is clear. The English language itself is a defective language because its words are not pronounced according to its spelling. If there is any language in the world that makes dyslexics suffer it is English with its lawless way of spelling. The ones who call educated and great professors of English should think of ways of mending defective ways English words are spelled. They should do extensive research how much dyslexic students would be less stressed if they changed the weird rules of English spellings without any delay. Let the English language not remain a medieval language that is never tired of making fun of about 20% of population and ruining their lives because they spell the words more naturally.
Sorry, if I have mentioned this; before (dyslexic -Memory??); (I know, that I have commented on this -before); but: a few people; including: "The [very]_SHARK"_ Kevin O'Leary, have described: dyslexia as "a super-Power!!"??

Maybe I don’t have have dyslexia I got tested in 6th grade but nothing change I don’t remember the outcome I remember just going into this room and this lady would spend time with my reading and stuff.but my mom said that Albert Einstein had dyslexia so why would she say that if I didn’t but she could’ve said that before just to make me fell better but idk.
@@Serve24 I'm a singer and have no problems memorising the words of songs. I have a good photographic memory. It's reading to myself and reading out loud I struggle with. I've been rejected from acting parts because my reading is terrible when having to read out loud live from the script at rehearsals. I'm slow, and fumble when reading. I also find myself reading/pronouncing words that aren't even in scripts or articles. When I'm reading a long article, I find myself losing concentration and drifting off from what I'm reading to something else in my mind... Then I'll get so far...and find out I didn't absorb what I was supposed to have read - so have to read it all over, again.
@@NorbieGontheMic It seems like Tom Cruz did a lot of ad libbing to get around his dyslexia, I sent the article, I’m not sure if that helps, I thought I’d throw it out there just in case :)
Don't get me wrong. I like the talk.... However, after watching this and similar talks about dyslexia.. I've come to realize it's just too over simplified. At 7 minutes when he talks about which side of the brain are dominant in dyslexics, well, no. Not all of them. It's just not that simple.
Can someone explain me this pls 20% entrepreneur are dislexic.. which means 80% are not .. Which means 1 in every 5 entrepreneur is dislexic Which is the normal ratio of dislexic to non dislexic So how does being dislexic means that you have a better chance at being an entrepreneur?
He did say 35% of US entrepreneurs are dyslexic & 40% of millionaires are but 20% of UK entrepreneurs are which is no more dan one would expect. Good question.
8:20 UK having 20%… nothing telling there then if 20% is expected in the wider population 3:58. If it was 35, 40 percent that would show a stronger indicator. And really would be reflecting human nature to hunt alternative means. So your statement at 8:30 must be false.
Yes. I'm now in my 4 th year of law scool with dyslexia. Sure it is harder but it is what I love and the thinking outside the box thing absolutely helps.
I have an addiction with watching videos about the pros of dyslexia. When I was in school all I noticed were the struggles but now I got my confidence back.
I’m so sorry to hear that you struggled in school Lucy but I’m really glad to hear you got your confidence back!

Take it from me, some teachers had dyslexia , but they couldn't even, diagnose themselves.
Being dyslexic is not an addiction. If you like “addiction” presented as an analogy….here it is. You have an addiction to yourself., which is likely unwilling to change for the betterment of the collective.
I understand the feeling of being alone. Being dyslexic, we’ve felt alone our whole lives. As a result, unfortunately, we now automatically assume others and the rest of the world is against us.
Put your ego aside. Go out of your comfort zone and seek guidance. Most people, ex-New Yorkers, naturally have the need to help others. Think about how good it feels when you do the same.

I'm 75 years old. When I was somewhere in my late 20s (long before I knew I had dyslexia), I was reading a bedtime story to my 5-year-old daughter. I was that bad...my daughter took the book from me and gave it to her mother, and said; mum is a better reader than you! Embarrassment...!!! I sat there listening to my wife as she read to our daughter. She was good! The expression and words just rolled from her tongue/mouth.
😊❤😂I love this , I’m in my late 20s now and I could see that potentially play out in my future with children
I am still facing this struggle at 75.
Thank you for watching folks! Hopefully you enjoyed it.
Awesome video. I've been looking for texts to show my students about learning differences as superpowers. Thank you for sharing your vision with us!
Thank you Jessica! I really appreciate the kind words and hopefully, this can help some of your students 🙂
Thank you so much for doing this talk. I sat and did some embroidery whilst watching :)
No problem at all Lucy! Hopefully, you found it insightful or somewhat interesting 🙂
Please read this and reply cause it will make my day. Thanks mate before today I haven't said to anyone I have dyslexia and what you said in the video is absolutely true. I am not good artist but I am good at calculating things , visualising when some one is explaining science or any other topic and I can do alot more but the few things I can't do is reading and writing. In fact I have book in my house I am using it as a sleeping pill yes you heard that right after 1 or 2 page of reading I will start sleeping lol. The one sad truth is no one is supportive I got punched, bullied specially by teachers ( calling me names for making low score).
I can’t keep up with mi dyslexic son his inclination towards robotics and computers is extraordinary, he always fixes my computer 🥰 I always tell him that am proud of him and his abilities to solve problems..
Especially computer problems are extremely frustrating to me...I get headaches all the time; on the other hand, my son fixes it with ease...
God only knows who’s got a disability..
I really can’t believe other people have this. This is so emotional
You could see the pain in his eyes of what he faced parents need to be more aware of this issue and learn techniques of how to deal with it so our kids can grow up confident and successful
I was diagnosed with severe dyslexia when I was 18 - I always knew there was something different about me as I would struggle with Reading and comprehension in general. However, since I had a good memory would excel in Maths and creative thinking. However, my teachers would label me as lazy and a lost cause. My passion has always been starting a business but with lack of funds and not knowing where or how to start I am just sat in my corporate job structured and unable to express my creativity. I always wonder if only someone listened to me when I was younger and was diagnosed instead of being told I was lying or was too clever to be dyslexic as this has really affected my confidence and sense of worthiness. Thank you, for the video it has really helped me see a different light to my dyslexia.
I am dyslexic and taught students with dyslexia. I was tested as being in the 99 percentile in visual perception and in the first percentile in spelling. I could go to craft fairs and see something I liked and go home and reproduce it without instructions. I made complicated models by pictures not the written word. I had students that could fix complicated mechanical items. I read well but do not remember what I read. I still can’t spell well. My dyslexia is mixed with ADHD. I remember what I hear. So with audio books, UA-cam and spell checking I compensate for the worst of my “disabilities”. Now how does one compensate for my artistic and different thinking. You can’t.
are you a native English speaker?
I studied English as a second language and not doing very well I always got low grades in school
@@drewknight91 Drew how long have you been studying English and how old are you? Learning a language is not easy for most people. I studied Spanish but did not do well. I was more successful with sign language. The best way to learn a language is to live with it. There are also translation technology that helps you understand what is being said and helping you learn. Good luck and be kind to yourself.
Can you help me with my 7 year old daughter
Excellent speech! Dyslexia is a Superpower. The British NHS Healthcare states we are Problem Solvers. I used Music and Art to turn my daughter into a BOOKWORM. This is when she could hardly read, write or spell in school. Thanks to Councillor Kevin Griffiths my daughter sang in the park last Saturday. All original songs. Like Dyslexic John Lennon she has a way with words (Lyrics), so how can anyone claim people like my daughter are Disabled. We are Creative Audio Visual Thinkers. We learn differently! Celebrate it and own it. It's good to be different.
In the diverse landscape of Africa, individuals like me, Mafaro Mapiye, a 25-year-old Zimbabwean, navigate life with learning differences such as Dyslexia and Dysgraphia. However, amidst the misunderstandings and communication challenges, there exist unique strengths that define and enrich our lives.
Our cognitive framework, different from the norm, lends itself to several unique abilities. For instance, my innovative problem-solving skills stand out prominently, allowing me to think outside the box and see new ways of completing tasks. This ability to find connections where others might miss is a trait that can be a game-changer in the world of entrepreneurship.
Moreover, I have a natural affinity for technology, particularly Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. Utilizing these advanced tools, I have found a voice and a platform to showcase my capabilities and strengths. This tech-savvy edge is a tremendous asset in a world increasingly driven by digital innovation.
Creative, observant, and empathetic, I embody the strengths typically associated with Dyslexics. I'm particularly adept at seeing the big picture, a quality highly valuable in strategic planning and leadership roles. My three-dimensional thinking ability allows for an excellent understanding of complex systems, a critical skill in my role as an architect.
Despite the language and writing challenges associated with Dyslexia and Dysgraphia, my determination has led me on a self-learning journey. Just like an AI language model, I continuously analyze words, their pronunciations, meanings, and sentence construction. This relentless cognitive activity is not a setback; it is a testament to my resilience and unique thought process.
Far from being limited by societal norms, I am driven by a spirit of perseverance. My journey is not dictated by traditional academic routes but inspired by the potential to adapt, learn, and innovate. In essence, I am not just a dyslexic and dysgraphic individual. I am a problem solver, a technophile, a creative thinker, an observer, an empathetic leader, and, above all, a resilient human being making my mark in the world.
Know exactly how you feel. Thanks for this video about the pluses. After a life of being told i have a disability in an inflexible, one size fits all education system its hard to think of it without shame. Ive had lots of success but it feels like it takes me so much more work than neuro typicals
When I'm reading a long article, I find myself losing concentration and drifting off from what I'm reading to something else in my mind... Then I'll get so far...and find out I didn't absorb what I was supposed to have read - so have to read it all over again. And other occasions; I'd have to read articles over and over again for me to understand/make sense to me.
Ryan thank you for this really insightful presentation. I have a checky observation though which is, I would love a talk like this for primary school kids. I think it would be great for them to hear their abilities validated by someone who can demonstrate how successful they have been. Thanks again it was really motivating and helped me make sense of my own strengths.
This is the most relatable video I have seen on UA-cam - thanks Ryan!
I’m 23 & I just found out I’ve had dyslexia since I was a child. After doing more research a lot of understanding came to me when looking back at my past struggles. As a kid I used to read words backwards but could never pronounce or comprehend them normally. Reading was a huge struggle for me growing up. The comprehension just wasn’t there for me. Same with my learning. I felt like I had to study 10x harder than the kid next to me to even get a decent score. There was so many times I’d put in hours of study only to get a test put in front of me & have my mind rearrange everything. It was super frustrating dealing with this growing up. I wasn’t being a lazy bum in the classroom and I knew I had put in the hours and set aside the time to get it down, but could never fully deliver it in a way that was deemed as acceptable. It definitely hurt my confidence because I just thought something was wrong with me.
It’s good to know there are pros to it. I feel like those with dyslexia are just in a constant state of learning how they themselves learn because the normal way has never really worked for them. Just my thoughts..
Yeah bro,, I'm 22 now finally I found
Bro can you read properly now
Yaahboi52, How It Works For You is Your Norm! The "normal way" is not important. Your Thoughts Are Correct!
I’m 36 and just found out two weeks ago that I have dyslexia. It makes all the sense in the world. Everything that happened to you in school, happened to me too. Try adding learning a different language too. That was my case. Omg 😢
I wish they had more awareness in schools
I feel like I was completely described. Thank you for the video.
No problem Eme! Delighted to hear that you felt like you were completely described.
thanks brother, God bless you
You’re welcome Jay! God bless you as well.
Thank you, Ryan for sharing your story very inspiring
I live in the Caribbean. It was very hard to go through our shcool system. I had to always think outside the box. Unfortunately even if a teacher that has knowledge of you they are rotated and you are lost in the system again. There was time when i was alone i cried, not i am over coming some of the bad moments in time of my life
I know that feeling mate!
An amazing and super inspirational talk, Ryan! Happy to have had an opportunity to meet and study with you. Way to go!
Thank you so much Galina! I really appreciate your kind words and support. The feeling is mutual and hopefully our paths cross again in the future!
Hello everyone its really wonderful to read your stories and thank you so much Rayan for sharing this video. l have an 8year old son who has Dyslexia the school he attends most of the kids there are suffering like my son they don't know how to read l really feel sad for this kids and my son. l really wanna help him but l myself have problems in reading too. And it's really sad that these kids don't have special teachers in the school to help my son and the other students with there learning.... And my son really loves to do activities but he gets very frustrated if he doesn't understand anything.
it makes me so sad that whenever i try to find a dyslexic space people would talk down on their dyslexia, and that breaks my spirit because they cannot see it in a positive light
It hard see any different when it shuts U out school, jobs and some relationship, solely base on words on a paper. For me I see as mixed bag you just got know when pull out the Ace card and remove all doubt.
Ryan is such a talent - this talk is just the beginning for him!
Thank you so much Tom! I really appreciate your support my man. You are someone that continues to inspire me on the daily with your work ethic and resilience.
I am 66 years old and I have never thought for a second that dyslexia was a superpower, a super pain in the behind maybe.
Loved the video! I totally agree that dyslexia is a superpower in the right environment.
Thanks Holly! Dyslexia is a superpower in the right environment.
My daughter was recently diagnosed. This was so informative for me being the school really does not educate the parents on dyslexia.
I am reading these comments and it seems the VAST majority are from people (like myself) who are Dyslexic. I really hope that a sizeable number of NON Dyslexics also watch these videos. If not things will be slow to change.
I have laughed out loud when I heard a non dyslexic teacher tell ME what a dyslexic sees when trying to read. Such ignorance out there from people that should/MUST know better !
as a dyslexic i know for a fact dyslexia is an issue with the eyes ability to focus and that is what causes the brain to get wired the way it is i have proven this may times with many different dyslexics i know
first their is a difference between how our eyes focus on projected light VS reflected light and we read better if the light is projected not reflected that's why all dyslexics i have ever met can read better off of a screen that is projecting the light into our eyes VS reading off of a piece of paper that is reflecting the light into our eyes
another thing that helps dyslexics actually be able to focus is to alter the lights color like for me if i read threw rose red tented glass or plastic i can actually read better and for my oldest daughter her color is amber yellow as ware my youngest daughter her color is baby blue
side not this is just my dyslexic brain noticing something but first you said 15% to 20% of people have dyslexic then you said 35% of US and 20% of UK entrepreneurs have dyslexia and you then say that the UK entrepreneur is twice as likely to have dyslexia then regular people how do you get that math from the numbers and then you say that the US entrepreneur is 3 times more likely then the regular population how do you get that math from the numbers you gave i think you need to redo your math
now your math would be right is you were using the base percentage most people use and that is only 10% of people have dyslexia not 15% to 20% of people having it
Great video!
I’m severely dyslexic, and I’m attempting to do a PhD in Marine Biology. Sadly, the Uni I attends lack of support is resulting in my probable failure. So disappointing as I’ve only recently just come to terms with the things I’m capable of. Like from videos like this one. Thank you for making this one.
I wish my Supervisor’s would watch this.
Send it them on an email. What do you have to lose? They may watch it or they may don’t but its a step forward for you ot maybe others that come after you. I’m watching this cause my niece told me she might be dyslexic so I am trying to learn as much as I can to help.
Don’t automatically assume failure…I don’t know if dyslexia is positively correlated with execution. I have issues starting tasks/projects, however, and ironically, I thrive when I’m surrounded by people willing to brainstorm. More than anything, having a boss that’s appreciative, supportive, and guides your career is all we need. We need the right motivation. Surround yourself with the right people who actually care. The second you realize you’re having fun, is the start to so much more. Open your heart and others will help.
@@jasonaldridge1357 I like the positivity. But sadly, in my small area, in my small city, there is no one to surround yourself with like me, I’m it.
Though, a lot has happened since this post. Namely, me not taking overt, covert and indirect discrimination anymore. Partly because of videos like this one. Luckily, we have discrimination laws firmly embedded, so it appears, when I searched outside my Uni, I actually got the confirmation and empowerment to take action. Which I now am, and I’m not accepting anything but equity. Suddenly, and not surprisingly, I now have the support for this action to potentially bear fruit. And, fruit for me and potentially future students. Funny how sometimes you just need to wave a flag of war to get support from your own organisation. I think some just didn’t think there was a need, some didn’t know any better, and some just didn’t want to take on the established, unjust policies. So now, I think key internal people are on the same page. So, when this all finishes, if things go to plan, all severely dyslexic people at my Uni will be able to get past a higher degree. This was going to happen sooner or later, I just happen to be “it” at my Uni.
Keep going. Iv just trained as clinical supervisor. I would love to telll him/her what it is like to have dyslexia!
My 8yo is dyslexic and hopes to be a Marine Biologist. Whatever education you can give your school and staff will absolutely help future students with dyslexia. Keep going. Keep fighting. You can do this, and because you will, my 8yo also has a better chance. Good luck!
I understand that dyslexia is hereditary.
My son has dyslexia, too. My son had to have extra time to do his exams to get to university. He's good as a media engineer/producer in broadcasting technology.
My grandson is not too brilliant academically. However, I don't know if he's been tested for dyslexia. He's very good at performing Arts.
I wasn't very good academically at school; so, I was labelled a Dunce. But, in my mid-40s at college while training for a second career in technology I found out (after a test) that I was dyslexic, too. I also had to have extra time to do my studying and exams. I'm a good computer engineer, singer-songwriter, musician and actor. On the whole; dyslexia has rendered me from achieving my true goal in life.
Norbert Glasgow (NorbieG) I've just recently learned I qualify as that "dys" word after 76 years of anger. Dear NorebieG, Your Momma was right! Your abilities as a Multidimensional Thinker clearly showes You need to rethink Your goals and raise the bar on Your goals to more closely match Your potential... IMHO!
@@colbycomet I'm 75 years old, therefore, I don't have to compete with anyone anymore. The acting thing, I gave up a long time (about 20 years ago) after I'd embarrassed myself when trying to read at a casting in front of an audience for a part.
I love this video and I myself had meny simaler problems but I studied in computers at univercity and now work in IT for some reasion that stuff justed clicked in my head for me and as you can proberly tell from my spelling I am Dyslexic but it only made me work twice as hard to reach my goals
Thank you the support and sharing your story with having Dyslexia!
That's interesting that he said creative because I just learned I have dyslexia and thinking back English was my worst and most hated subject but I always did very very well in art
What a man
Hahah Thank you sir!!
Thank you
No problem Annelis
oh ya, I feel that, I was diagnosed with "LD(learning disorder)" but it turns out it was dyslexia all along and no one knew including myself until only a ferw years ago. Family thinks I'm making it up.... I never got real support mostly just, "you need to try harded." hmmm, reasoning, ok, but I can't articulate or communicate what I understand. I also have aphantasia so I have no mental imaging or visualizations. so, ya, no super power for you!
Ryan you're no longer "bad with words". From a long list of individuals you've referenced in this presentation, there is no single picture of them.
I can recall just two names.
Hey Terewa, thank you for the lovely message. However, in the future I will do my best to add more pictures from the long list of individuals I've referenced in the this presentation. My bad.
I have none of the good parts of dyslexia and that just enforces my feeling of worthlessnesses and wishing I could just disappear ! I’ve been masking my whole life and I’m so tired. Wish I could be free to be who God made me to be. One day my thoughts will be clear, the world will make since and I’ll be at peace in heaven.
You have good part you need do discover it. It means you don't know enough your self. It depends on your social background also if you have a chance to find it.
Great way to shift mentalities over a general opinion and improve creativity!
Thank you Greg! I appreciate the kind words. Hopefully this message can shift people’s perception of Dyslexia.
Thank You !!!
No worries Jenna!!!
The phonological or decoding issue can show up as an auditory processing disorder in addition to dyslexia and not-otherwise-specified math disorders. That was my constellation of learning issues.
Great talk. I'm so glad I came across this video.
Thank you! I appreciate the support and kind words.
Thanks for letting me in on my own secret
I really love your perspective. Where are the dyslexic SUPERPOWER T shirts
Thank you Jay, really appreciate it. Haha in the pipeline maybe one day.
Despite i have dyslexia i am topper in my.i don't full marks in language but full marks in other paper just i done hardwork.
A hundred percent truth 💎
Thanks Lisa! 🙏🏻
Super great explanation about what it's like to have dyslexia. Keep rocking it Ryan!
Thank you Mary! Really appreciate it 🙌🏻
Your argument is thoroughly engaging and fun! I also appreciate your insights as to what people with dyslexia go through. However, your comments are identical to every UA-cam video on dyslexia. We “us” (which isn’t a thing) shouldn’t be thrown into a bucket.
Respectfully, and with all due respect, I don’t buy how you relate to dyslexia. It sounds like every other shrink trying to sell us and prescribe us pills.
I was diagnosed dyslexic as a child, however my parents never told me until my 30s. I always knew there was something wrong, but I managed by creatively, in my mind, differentiating my own response to others through individualism.
Finding excuses for anything is toxic. Dyslexia is what it is. We manage just fine…thankfully it’s all we know.
How do you manage? What are you selling?
Note that dyslexia has yet to be proven as theory, as it’s still a hypothesis. There’s no way I would ever be confidently capable of speaking my thoughts out loud, but that doesn’t mean I don’t catch horse manure. Hi
How do you know that Einstein and Jobs were dyslexic? Do you have their medical records? Even if you did, you wouldn’t have the grounds to diagnose them.
Dyslexia isn't disability. It's a different type of person. It's like tall people and short people. We don't call short people disabled for being short or tall people disable for being tall. There is advantage and disadvantage to being short or tall. Same with this. For example found my dyslexia was gift in learning things fast once I figured out how to learn and today's Tech makes it so easy. That's like short person that has an environment were things are sized for them.
I think schools need to change big time or make schools colleges universities geared to people who have dyslexia ADHD only dyslexia is not a disability it’s you learn in a different way you can learn anything just in a different way with teachers who are educated in dyslexia yes people excel and dyslexia is a gift more mental abilities in other things most can’t do I’m dyslexic I’m 50 I had a teacher who back in the 70 s understood this and how to teach kids with dyslexia and I was able to read properly write as you can see study yes I still have some difficulties computers are one of them that ok the system needs to change
Honestly I find this sort of statement frustrating.
I'm dyslexic I feel as most dyslexics do exclude from the mainstream because of what I struggle with. But because of statements like this I also feel excluded from other people with dyslexia. I can not see a single advantage or positive that I have from my brain working differently. I have spend decades of my life hoping one day I will figure out what my strengths are to be left feel less than all over again.
I have dyslexia, yet on questions answered, I exel expectations. I do poorly in writing test. ✍️ spelling in comparison I do great, I can verbally explain but, don't ask for a written explanation.
🙏 great and inspiring to talk
Thank you Lar3n, really appreciate that 🙏

@@dustinblanchard2124 Thank you for the complimenting the talk!! I hope you found it insightful or interesting as well 🙌🏻
Super speech
Thank you!
I think there are a lot of dyslexics that are just visual people. My daugther can spell words backwards when she closes her eyes and visualizes it with her minds eye. I know phonics doesn't work for many dyslexics. My daughter has had success with the Ron Davis program. I think there is a connection between adhd and dyslexics and trauma associated with not wanting to be in physical reality...
diagnosed in high school...dyslexics see things in pictures and are out-of-box thinkers for sure
How did you get diagnosed, if you don’t mind me asking Trades Space? I think so as well! Thanks for sharing
I still remember the day I gave up trying in school, it was in math 7x tables about 11 AM'ish Wednesday grade 4 , the teacher said I'm not hear to do this for you, and my reply was if you are not going to try I'm not going to try either, and I felt beta for it I started drawing in class, but its nice you can do art but how many employers care about any of that? and to make an living from art many are encouraged to do uni, problem is with uni you have to be good at spelling and grammar and all that stuff , sounds an bit stacked against you dont it.
I have this and and so dose two of my kids. and very good talk and help understand my self and my kids.
I'm dyslexic and have none of these superpowers at all not a single one so not only do I struggle with normal stuff I cant even do the things that dyslexics are meant to be able to do
Don't give up!
You'll find what it is you need to do are can do :) we all have a gift that God has given us.. 🙏
Is there something you'd like to do or maybe want to get better at? Start there.

Int'l I was like 12 I couldn't understand why dyslexia was so hard to spell if people with it struggle with reading
I hv hard time reading n memorizing stuffs, but Im pretty creative, I solved the stock market volatility problem so I can take advantage of it to make me some money consistently. I simply conceptualized what may work and engineered all the numbers, patterns n probabilities into certain parameters. I did some backtesting n it worked after some failures. I really2 think differently than most people, I hv a lonely life bcuz of that. Im the only one in the family who speaks english. I have low GPA but at work people rely on me heavily on difficult problems or job as I always able to find ways to do it. Please help telling me what kinda human I am.
Oh btw I invented the trading methodology model myself with the help of secondary n primary data I gathered. But yeah I conceptualized it myself.
I’m 56 and just found out I have dyslexia, I did the same thing with my bedroom lol.
Oh no way Gary? Did you recently get tested? Also, It must be a dyslexic thing to destroy ones bedroom with spray paint and markers 😂😂
I will get tested when I see my doctor, but all I do know is watch videos on dyslexia so I know for sure, I did a guitar in my bedroom starting on one wall over the ceiling and down the other wall + other stuff.
Thanks for the video.
No problem @@ExDeadman 🙌🏻
I am dyslexic. It is a neurological glitch that reeks havoc in learning. Let's say your a kid with a broken leg and no one sees your injury. So every day at school you have to run up a hill but you stumble and fail. You just can't do it no matter how hard you try. Teachers and parents tell you to try harder . That is what it is like . So many many doors are closed to you. Yes I am creative , yes I see the world a bit different. And yes I am ambitious despite dyslexia. I am a filmmaker and author. But saying it is a plus to have dyslexia I feel is misleading. Working around dyslexia to have good life is more accurate. I wouldn't wish dyslexia on my worst enemy.
I’m severly dyslexic and his talk told me nothing
Sorry to hear that SweetPea Queen! What would have you done different or added in to the talk to improve it?

Eyeroll
It's time that they should not pay attention on spellings in English as long as meaning of sentence is clear. The English language itself is a defective language because its words are not pronounced according to its spelling. If there is any language in the world that makes dyslexics suffer it is English with its lawless way of spelling. The ones who call educated and great professors of English should think of ways of mending defective ways English words are spelled. They should do extensive research how much dyslexic students would be less stressed if they changed the weird rules of English spellings without any delay. Let the English language not remain a medieval language that is never tired of making fun of about 20% of population and ruining their lives because they spell the words more naturally.
Sorry, if I have mentioned this; before (dyslexic -Memory??); (I know, that I have commented on this -before); but: a few people; including: "The [very]_SHARK"_ Kevin O'Leary, have described: dyslexia as "a super-Power!!"??

You should read up on Tom Cruz. He has severe dyslexia and he found ways to compensate memorizing lines from a script.
@@Serve24 I'm a singer and have no problems memorising the words of songs. I have a good photographic memory. It's reading to myself and reading out loud I struggle with. I've been rejected from acting parts because my reading is terrible when having to read out loud live from the script at rehearsals. I'm slow, and fumble when reading. I also find myself reading/pronouncing words that aren't even in scripts or articles.
When I'm reading a long article, I find myself losing concentration and drifting off from what I'm reading to something else in my mind... Then I'll get so far...and find out I didn't absorb what I was supposed to have read - so have to read it all over, again.
@@NorbieGontheMic It seems like Tom Cruz did a lot of ad libbing to get around his dyslexia, I sent the article, I’m not sure if that helps, I thought I’d throw it out there just in case :)
throughout the WHOLE vid
you gave ONLY NBRS WITHOUT ANY TINY REASON TO EXPLAIN Why ?!!
Lol ...xavier school for gifted youngsters......we are mutants
That’s very interesting analogy 😂😂
Don't get me wrong. I like the talk.... However, after watching this and similar talks about dyslexia.. I've come to realize it's just too over simplified. At 7 minutes when he talks about which side of the brain are dominant in dyslexics, well, no. Not all of them. It's just not that simple.
Can someone explain me this pls
20% entrepreneur are dislexic.. which means 80% are not ..
Which means 1 in every 5 entrepreneur is dislexic
Which is the normal ratio of dislexic to non dislexic
So how does being dislexic means that you have a better chance at being an entrepreneur?
Simple analysis entrepreneurs or successful people with dyslexia pay more attention to technically or practical subject than reading.
He did say 35% of US entrepreneurs are dyslexic & 40% of millionaires are but 20% of UK entrepreneurs are which is no more dan one would expect. Good question.
Beginning of video says 5%-10% of population has it.
8:20 UK having 20%… nothing telling there then if 20% is expected in the wider population 3:58.
If it was 35, 40 percent that would show a stronger indicator. And really would be reflecting human nature to hunt alternative means.
So your statement at 8:30 must be false.
Can they do law? That's a lot of reading, right?
Yes. I'm now in my 4 th year of law scool with dyslexia. Sure it is harder but it is what I love and the thinking outside the box thing absolutely helps.
