I think I have dyslexia sometimes I have issues reading out loud and sometimes think a lot about spelling a word. When I read a story I completely forgot what I read and have to re-read it. I also sometimes add words in a sentence that aren't their and when I'm writing or typing I some times skips words and people don't understand me.
Hi, and thanks for your comment. The things you mention are very common symptoms of dyslexia. You may find our video on the common signs and symptoms of dyslexia helpful. ua-cam.com/video/Jq56jKuB0AI/v-deo.html
I'm not like that I just can't remember things like sometimes I forget how to count or abc I skip alphabets I can't remember tables I can't remember recipes and some times I even forgot what I did tomorrow I forget how to divide I can't remember dates I can't focus
Am I dyslexic? I cannot read out loud and I miss out lines and sentences. I have a problem with spelling, and I often replace a b with a p or vice versa. I have to read sentences again and again to it to sink in, and I am shockingly bad at algebraic maths
Thanks for your question. All of those things you mention are very common symptoms of dyslexia. So, it is very likely. You would probably find our videos on the symptoms of dyslexia helpful. ua-cam.com/video/Jq56jKuB0AI/v-deo.html
I think i am possibly dyslexic but my parents say that they dont think i am. I am 14 and for the last 2-3 years i have struggled a lot to read and say i read a page of a book or a sentense i will have to read it lots of times for me to understand it. Also when i read words seam to swap places so the word order is different. I also have to think a lot when spelling words aloud, i have to write them down.
Thanks for your comment, Lily. It is very possible that you are dyslexic. Are there are any teachers at your school who are trained in working with dyslexic students?
Lily Thornton I have the same problem I believe I have dyslexia and my friend has it and I can relate with the struggles she has. But my parent don't think I have dyslexia what sucks and it is harder in school I found year 11,12 and 13 is the hardest years in college if you haven't been tested.
I used to crying taking hours doing notes on 6 pages of a book for my 6th grade class, my grammar and spelling are bad and I still take long to read but I got better by rereading and just trying. The pain in English class is a pain for me so I just want to see if I have it 💀
Thank you for your comment and question! I'm so sorry to hear about those struggles. Have you spoken to your parents or teachers about these struggles?
Wow, I'm just learning I might be dyslexic.....I've always struggled to read chapter books ALL my life and have just recently begun to read them. I would constantly re-read old graphic novels because I wasn't able to finish a chapter book without getting frustrated because I couldn't focus on the words. I've also realized with test's which I'm doing currently I struggle to focus on the tiny text they type the reading passages in...so for the first time today I saw dyslexia font... it's AMAZING!! I'm finally able to read without having to go over and over and over and re-read what I have already read...this truly is a lifesaver and now I finally can go get a proper diagnosis from a specialist!
I don’t know if I have dyslexia because I’m 16 and I don’t know if that’s too late to get a diagnosis. I’m good at spelling sometimes. I’m just really bad at memorizing text. I have to reread 2-4 times when I read a textbook for school. It happens a lot when reading a textbook. Maybe because it’s boring? It happens a few times for math too. When I read a sentence, sometimes I can’t remember and I have to go back and sometimes go back and read it slowly to really get it. I do this because I forget the words and/or they switch in my head and then don’t make sense. When I have to read to the class, I don’t remember anything I read out loud and then I reread it once I don’t have to read it out loud anymore. I also day dream a lot when I’m reading. Like I space out and then I come back. I can read a chapter book better than I can read a textbook though.
I'm diagnosed with Dyslexia just two years ago. I have been carrying the symptoms since I was a child but my family thought I'm just a lazy child. I have difficulty reading since then and had been bullied because of it. I didn't undergo proper reading techniques but I willed my self to learn though I still have difficulty reading up until now.
Hi, and thanks for your comment. Yes, unfortunately, many people do not understand dyslexia, and think that a dyslexic's struggles are due to laziness or lack of effort. You would actually still benefit from the right sort of instruction for reading and spelling. It is never too late to make improvement. Are you located in the U.S.? Or somewhere else? I may be able to recommend some resources. Thanks.
I have all the symptoms of dyslexia and I'm getting tested at school and in nervous I don't want anyone to know in case I get bullied in primary school I always got told I was just lazy and didn't listen. I find it really hard to consontrate
Hi, and thanks for your comment. You should not feel bad about the possibility of having dyslexia. There are many brilliant and successful people with dyslexia! It's great that you're being tested, because once you verify what the issue is, it will be much easier to address it. Have a great day.
I don't know if I'm dyslexic. Sometimes, I miss out lines and read words as different words. My eyes also sometimes can't focus on the line I'm reading and I HATE reading out loud.
I feel as thiugh i have dyslexia, fir some things here are the reason: 1. When i am tyoing, i always mix up “O” with “I” 2. I always jumble letters, like writing bigger words shch as “soemthing” and “moght” are words i soell wrong a lot- 3. It is difficult to read outloud for me 4. This paraghraphh took a long time, and there are a lot of mistakes. Sorry if it was hard to understand :) 5. When i go to write “happened” or long words, i will often use different letters, or skip lots of letters, like i could skip the first two letters and just do a “P” and then have ti gi back.
@@DyslexiaConnect you are seriously gonna ignore all this effort this person has put , the questions confusion and just answer with the most random comment. You’re a fool
I came here after hearing my fave youtuber, @Tubbo was dyslexic And was like, "Dyslexia? Sounds dangerous"- And instead of looking for THIS video I searched "Tubbo being dyslexic" aaaaand it just broke my heart- And when this was recommended for me I called my elementary friend to watch this with me. I wasn't dyslexic and was just naturally nervous, but I think my friend was. She would take time to spell "Diagnosis", "prohibited", "caution" etc.... and after she reads a book she din't understand anything so she would re-read it and sometimes misread a word in a simple sentence.
I have not been tested on any extent as to whether or not I am dyslexic. A common tell tale sign is that I may take 1 1/2 times as long to read a single sentence or paragraph, because I frequently find myself reading sentences and paragraphs from the middle to the end. Then I need to read it all from the beginning. ADHD is my main Achilles heel, so dyslexia is the least of my worries. However, I have not been formally tested yet. So I don’t really know the actual severity.
I'm easily forgetful after reading something, even a simple leaflet which then I will force myself read it again and again from the beginning. When I write something on a paper, even if a word written looks a bit uneasy to me, I will rub it off and write the same word again. When I did some mistakes, even it was a small mistake, I will become easily depressed and I will extremely search for any way so that I won't repeat the mistake again.
Hi, and thanks for your message. It sounds very likely that you have dyslexia. You should not get discouraged or depressed about this, because dyslexia is not at all an indicator of low intelligence; many people with dyslexia are brilliant! They just need a different approach to reading, spelling and writing. You may find it helpful to contact the IDA: dyslexiaida.org/
I feel just. The same I can't complete my work truly my work books are all unchecked I just feel very ashamed of telling that to anyone that I can't remember tables,dates,timeline,or what I did yesterday . Ones me and my all cousins were together and my uncle came home from work he started asking us questions about math like area decimals and there were more questions my all causions are very studious but I'm not and I was feeling so bad at that time that I was so close to crying and now I searched this vedeo beacause my dad just told me if I wont study I can't be successful I can't I will become dependent on other people he said right but I wish I could tell him how I felt goin to school when ever I wake up in morning to go to school I just can't I feel scared of what if a teacher of mine asks me to give her my notebook . I lie so much in school cause I feel scared what if my teacher finds out about I don't my work I don't my homework and then they will call my parents and my parents will send me too boarding school I laugh so much to make my heart happy that it's nothing I need to just study harder . And if autocorrect wasnt made I would be the dumbest kid ever I should be in grade nine right now by my age but I'm still in 6 grade . Every time new year starts I make myself promise that this year I will try my best but it goes opposite
When I read something I have a habit of reading the same sentence like I've not completely understood it or gave my brain enough time to grasp the information within the sentence, I find myself going back and reading the same sentence two or three times to just to let it sink in, If I get ambitious and try read too fast I forget previous pages and have to go back. It's not all the time though, sometimes I can read just fine in front of people and out loud, the words just flow but with every book I delve it to it can feel more of chore than anything, my concentration is foggy, recalling information after finishing a book is like trying to carve water from a stone and its not just reading, diagrams can be quite challenging for me given the complexity of the subject. I've never been tested for dyslexia but I've always wondered why I have some difficulty reading, oh and I'm not confident in my handwriting or spelling intricate words. I tend to get frustrated when I'm writing and I end up ripping the pages out and starting again until I'm satisfied, this can really be discouraging and time consuming, weird I know but I'm just trying to be honest, reading for me can be a daunting task at times, even when you just want to just pick up a book and feel connected with the author, unfortunately I've never got feel that way about reading.
Thanks so much for your comment. The difficulties that you mention are common symptoms of dyslexia. You might find the additional info about dyslexia on our website helpful. Here it is. Have a great day! www.dyslexiaconnect.com/about-dc/#whatis
I don’t know if I’m dyslexic but I do have trouble saying and writing the alphabet I sometimes when writing write other words then I’m trying to and I have trouble spelling out loud but I also have bad memory so I don’t know if that’s why and when I’m reading for some reason when I’m reading I always for some reason skip lines or read lines in a book more then 1 time and I can’t keep track of what line I’m reading.
I really enjoy reading novels in off time. When reading to myself, in my head, I read just fine and pretty much comprehend what I’m reading. But I notice reading out loud to my kids, i can’t read as smooth as I do when reading to myself. I did have reading troubles when I was in early grade school and was kinda a jackass when it came to school work. Went to doctors and all that at the time and I was put on addarall, which I did not like at all and after maybe 5 years of being drugged with it, I made my own choice to stop the medication by high school. I maybe had problems with spelling in the beginning but I feel I’m an above average speller. Not sure why I’m writing this but if it helps anyone out, I guess that’s a plus. I just discovered your channel and I am enjoying the info. Btw I’m 32yrs old at the time of typing this.
I can read well... But i often place a word of my own while reading and sometimes misspell a particular word. Like, if i am given to read "i am not there" i will read "i am always there" Sometimes i often omit the words. But still i can read well. Is this dyslexia?
Thanks for your question. Trouble with reading accuracy is a common symptom of dyslexia, but you would need to be evaluated for dyslexia to determine if that is the cause of the issues. If you are interested in an evaluation, the International Dyslexia Association is a good resource. Have a great day. dyslexiaida.org/
I constantly make typing errors. When I read using my mind, It becomes soooo slow that I'd need to read words out loud. I'm inconsistent with my pronouns. Reading a book or a piece of literature especially one I'm not that interested in exhausts me. Sometimes whe I'm reading something, I just find myself reading on without even understanding what a sentence meant so I'd have to read it again, multiple times sometimes. When my mom asks me to buy something from a store, I'd always forget what it was unless I wrote them down. I also have problems remembering names of people, things, movies, videos as well as events. I thought I just had a really short attention span but when I somehow came across a reply on one of my comments implying I might have Dyslexia, that's when I started to think abd dive deeper into it.
I think I have it sometimes when I read I spell words wrong such as it will say polish but I’ll say posh and I also can’t understand books I have to keep reading it and even then sometimes I can’t understand it, when someone tells me to get something for them sometimes it takes me time to process the information, I hardly can pronounce words properly and find it hard to spell words and sometimes I’ll reverse words and I find it hard to memorise and when Someone asks me a question it takes me time to understand or sometimes I need to write it down to understand and to understand a question I have to read i about 5 times but I’m not 100% sure if I have it, even when I’m in exams and I re check my work I find it difficult and can’t spot any mistakes and I get overwhelmed with so much information, words and letters
I can read really fast but I have some other symptoms of dyslexia, like replacing b, and d, i have really bad handwriting and it makes me anxious when i dont write it perfect. I have adhd and a load more symptoms. Im afraid to tell my mom i want to be tested, but im almost 100% sure i have it.
I was at school and they called me to the office and they said they think I might be dyslexic. So I just got home and trying to find out if I am or not.
Hi, and thanks for your comment. Does your school have anyone who is trained in working with students who have dyslexia? Typically, such a teacher would be trained in Orton-Gillingham, or one of the closely related methods.
I have taken 5 informal tests, they all came back with saying I most likely have dyslexia. I have been told by my teachers and some friends that I should get tested. :/ I don't want dyslexia lol
@@RedGMD Thanks for your comment. There are many successful people who have dyslexia! So, you shouldn't worry about it being a limitation. It doesn't limit what you can do in life. Have a great day!
Hi, I have a lot of symptoms of dyslexia, but I also am pretty sure that I have adhd, and some of the symptoms of dyslexia I have are similar to ones of adhd. I'm going to look into this more, but I was wondering if you had any tips or website where I can learn more?
Thanks for your question! You can learn more about dyslexia on our website.

Thanks for your question. That could be related to dyslexia. You may need to have an official dyslexia evaluation to determine that. There is also something called Auditory Processing Disorder, which could be another possibility. Here is info on that. Have a great day! www.understood.org/en/learning-thinking-differences/child-learning-disabilities/auditory-processing-disorder/understanding-auditory-processing-disorder
I think I might be dyslexic. Because I could never pronounce words correctly and I would always misspell words. I even asked my teacher and she said it could be possible. I can’t do the “correct the sentence or word” work sheet they would give us at school. I also need help telling right from left and have to use my hands. Sometimes I can’t even read a sentence right. I’m 13. Am I dyslexic?
Thanks for your question, Jade. The symptoms you mention are typical of dyslexia, however, it's not possible to provide a diagnosis of dyslexia without working directly with a student. Are you located in the U.S.? Or elsewhere? I can provide you with some resources. Thanks.
Thanks for your question. The cost can vary greatly depending on the provider. The International Dyslexia Association may be able to provide some example costs. Here is their website. Have a great day. dyslexiaida.org/
Hello sir. I am a technical instructor teaching adults. I recently encountered a student who revealed to me, only after he failed the class final exam, that he was formally evaluated as dyslexic. His professional examiner was able to positively evaluate him even before the clinic visit, while talking to him on the phone for just five minutes. I wish I could have caught this myself during the two day teaching portion of the course. I also wish I could have provided him with the proper resources that would assist him in the final exam. Please let me know some of the basics of evaluation or some resources that I can read.
Hi, and thanks for your question! This site has excellent information on dyslexia. www.understood.org/en/learning-attention-issues/child-learning-disabilities/dyslexia/understanding-dyslexia . If you are interested in a book, "Overcoming Dyslexia" by Sally Shaywitz is a great introduction to dyslexia.
i've been having some issues from a year or two now, im not trying to self diagnosed because i really don't know whats going on with me. Im 17 and some of this issues are - mixing words (both when they look alike or sometiemes even dont, they simply appear in the same sentence and I mix them), I think a lot on how some words are spelled, in fact when I take tests Im good in listening, but have a considerable amount of missespelling in writings. When Im reading for some reason I combine words, so if I have cat and hat my brain reads 'that' for example. and to this list add the fact that I have had maths problems my entire life, I mix up numbers or signs, its been a headache and has cost me lots of failed exams, but the thing is that I understand it, I know how it's done, but for some reason I mixed stuff and end up with a very different answer. im worried because no close relative thinks its a big deal and in not so long time Im taking a very important exam (the access to university), so I dont wanna screw it up with any of this. Idk, i hope someone can give me their opinion on this, id ve very grateful
Hi. Google and you tube are your new friends. Do lots of research on various platforms. Dyslexia has many different types. Unfortunately mainstream education is next to useless in finding out what is going on. You have to find out what clicks for you. Just remember. There is NOTHING WRONG with you! You are just wired differently then the a average person. God loves variety. Why do you think there is so many different colors. Good luck.
Sometimes when people talk to me everything they say goes straight over my head and when they’re finished talking, I have no idea what they were just talking about. It’s really annoying because it happens when my friends and family talk to me and in a lecture etc. Also when I read books/ articles etc... I have to reread each phrase more than 4 times to just try and understand what it means. It makes like really difficult sometimes! It’s weird because I was in all academic classes at school! Now I’m 21 and I’m seriously wondering if I have dyslexia?? What do I do?? 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! It took me so long because I had to keep reading through it and every time my family would talk I’d have to start again because I got distracted so easily and I find it really hard to concentrate. Do I have dyslexia?
Thanks for your question, Marie. Several of the difficulties you mention are common for individuals who have dyslexia. Regarding a diagnosis of dyslexia, this must be given by a doctor or psychologist who specializes in the issue. You may find it helpful to contact the IDA. dyslexiaida.org/
I have no clue if I'm dyslexia or ADD... I have some symptoms in both learning difficulties... I have always had a moderate learning difficulty at school
+Liv Smith Hi, Liv. Thanks for your comment. Dyslexia and ADD sometimes go together. You might find it useful to watch our video on the symptoms of dyslexia, because you would be able to determine whether you are experiencing any of those specific symptoms.
Im not sure if I have dyslexia,maybe a year or 2 ago my eye doctor said I have alot of dyslexic symptoms but she said I might just have bad eyes so I got glasses,I still have alot of them but not all of them,my mom said I have something similar to dyslexia but I haven't gotten tested and the only reason they haven't noticed its worse is because auto correct on phones/ computers
I believe I have dyslexia but never really bothered to learn it from an expert. Hand writing is a nightmare for me because it takes so much effort and concentration. Because of this my hand writing is terrible, some people find it unreadable. I write some letters capital in middle of words, constantly confuse b, p and d, forgot which side "g" faces, even forgot to write whole words and have difficulties writing whats on my mind. But when it comes to reading everything seems to be normal. I occasionally misread, skip a line or a word but everybody does that right? can't say the same thing for the math though. Im laughably bad at math. As you can guess school and university was agonizing for me. Because of my dyslexia and my country's education system. Most people in my country don't even know what dyslexia is and they just started to acknowladged it. But still I somehow manage to finish university. (although with terrible grades lol) I didn't even know what dyslexia is three years ago (this alone shows how equiped my country is against dyslexia) and now that I know everything. It all makes sense now. Back then I thought I was just bad or didn't try hard enough. But one thing I noticed about my dyslexia is that its not universal. Because Im more dyslexic against my native language Turkish. But less for English. Am I the only person experience this?
Thanks for your comment. It's possible that your dyslexia manifests itself in slightly different ways, depending on which language you are using. This could be due to the nature of the language.
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
i think i have it since sometimes i would mispell words, when i read i would zone one or would have to re read couple times. Or i would read it fine then skip to other sentence while in middle sentence, also i would do left as right and right as left when i do directions sometimes. and i have a weird sign for reading i would see pictures in words if that makes any sense
I think I have dyslexia sometimes I have issues with spelling and reading out loud and I can't read well. I'm an adult that is my main problem right now there's any help with this issue, even to read and understand the words well I can. and to memorize out that is an other problem with me I see it every difficult to spelling, read out loud and to memorize it, even in examination...

Hello, I am a 13 year old child from Germany. I have recently looked into what dyslexia is and I have most of the symptoms. I have huge problems with grammar, reading out loud, remember something i JUST read, problems remembering something i just re-read, i have problems following and doing simple tasks that we were given in school, i have problems understanding tasks that were explained to me muiltiple times, i sometimes end up sitting there doing nothing because I understood nothing at all. I have problems with math and often have to use calculators or my fingers in order to get the task done. I have huge concentration problems and can't focus at all most of the time, I also stutter a lot when reading out loud and I tend to accidentally skip lines/words/pauses in my head and out loud. I'm not sure what to do, i have tried to talk to my mom about it but she simply shrugged it off with saying "You don't have it" without any proof nor did she explain why she thinks so. My friend suggested that I talk to a teacher that I trust so I can at least can an answer but I'm scared that I'm just stupid and not dyslexic, i would have wasted so much time, effort and everything. I don't want to know the answer but I also do..
Thanks for your comment. I definitely understand! Would you, perhaps, be able to have a conversation about this with your teacher and your mom together?
@@DyslexiaConnect Hello! Thank you for replaying. My friend and i talked to a teacher, the teacher mentioned that we have a person who specializes with dyslexia in our school, on monday im supposed to take a test with a few others and if i do show signs of having it they're gonna take me aside and ask me a few questions :)
Thanks for your comment! An official diagnosis of dyslexia is usually provided by a doctor or psychologist would specializes in learning issues. Have a great day!
Hey, I have always had problems with numbers and infact I hate anything which has to with numbers and I also have a problem in understanding, memorizing and I have been a average kid all my life. For example, I read a paragraph 2 to 3 times to fully understand and memorize. I also have a problem in delivering what's in my mind. In my head it sounds great but I butcher it when it comes to delivery. But surprisingly I was good at spellings and reading sentences or paragraphs out loud, infact I loved it when teachers used to give me dictation tests and reading things out loud. So I'm really confused because I do have few of these symptoms but not all of them. Will getting diagnosed help?
Thanks for your question! It is actually very common for individuals with dyslexia to have some of the common symptoms, but not all of them. We see this frequently. Getting an official evaluation or diagnosis from a doctor or psychologist could provide further information and context for those issues you mention. Have a great day!
Hi Peter, are you dyslexic yourself? Is it easy to get a diagnosis in the US? It's really hard in the UK. This video is interesting so I'll be having a look at some of the others later. I wonder if you deal with the link between dyslexia and ADHD, or perhaps that's covered in another video.
Blacksquareable Hi! Thanks for your comment. That's a great question. I am not dyslexic, but I have been a dyslexia tutor for a number of years. To get a diagnosis in the U.S., a person usually needs to find the right resources. For a formal evaluation, there are typically doctors and psychiatrists who will perform this. The International Dyslexia Association keeps a list of professionals who perform formal evaluations. In the UK, you might find the British Dyslexia Association helpful in this matter. For an informal evaluation, usually a dyslexia tutor is a great resource. We provide informal evaluations online for free at Dyslexia Connect, for those who are interested in knowing if their children (or they) show signs of dyslexia. That's a very interesting comment about ADHD and dyslexia. I plan on covering this in a future video. Thanks for the suggestion! Thanks again for your comment. If you would like to be notified of our future videos, please feel free to subscribe to our channel. Have a great day!
Things are worse here. It is very hard to get a proper diagnosis in the US and bias towards ADHD runs deep. School, psychologists and even Dyslexia specialists are complicit. Check out DyslexicDays on Facebook.
Thanks for your question! We provide online dyslexia tutoring to students, but do not offer teacher training courses. If you are interested in those, I would recommend contacting the International Dyslexia Association. Have a great day!

I am 16 and have trouble understanding things at school. If my teacher says the question out loud I can answer it out loud easily but if I am asked to write my answer down I struggle. I also have to read the question over and over and break it up word for word to understand it. My friends have suggested that I am dyslexic and a few of my teachers too. My mum says that I am just trying to come up with an excuse to not do well in school. What should I do? ( I live in New Zealand by the way )
Hi, Nina. Thanks for your question. The symptoms that you mention are typical of dyslexia. I would recommend contacting the Dyslexia Foundation of New Zealand, or SPELD New Zealand.

I know this video is old but still, I am 16 years old and I cannot read silently because it is too slow so I have to read aloud, I also confuse words and the order of the letters, I have to reread many things many times because I don't understand anything, or when someone talks a lot very quickly I get confused and I don't know what they said, there are many things like that but I always thought I was just distracted, could it be dyselxia?

I think my 8 year old son has dyslexia i’m not sure though. He is having trouble in school they even set up a meeting for me to go to, to discuss the problems. He often is really alert but once I have him read he is just not interested and starts yawning a lot. He was tested for ADD but he doesn’t have it. If he reads a sentence he will often skip a word or two and add other words that aren’t there at the end. He mixes up d and b, p and 9. The other day he was doing his homework he read the word “number” and on the next page the word “number was there again and he just couldn’t read it. He got so frustrated and cried he said he was stupid and it broke my heart into a million little pieces😭💔

i think i am dyslexic but im so scared to tell my parents. even from grade 4 (im in 9 right now) i have always been in the lower spelling class and always did really bad on the test. even i miss words when i read out loud and my mum gets mad at me. im really bad at giving directions like on google maps and again she gets mad at me. i think the reason why im sacred is i dont know what her response will be
Hi, I had an informal evaluation done with my daughter at Dyslexia Connect but they were unable to give any information on her other than that she would benefit from tutoring. I’m confused by that. It seems like everyone would benefit from tutoring. I thought that you could shed some light on if she was or was not dyslexic.
Hi, and thanks for your question! We would be happy to let you know if your daughter shows signs of dyslexia. Could you please submit a message from one of our contact forms on our site, and mention that Peter offered to look over the trial report and offer feedback on it? Once you submit the message, I can respond, examine the trial report, and offer some helpful info. Thanks! Peter Groth - CEO - Dyslexia Connect www.dyslexiaconnect.com/
@@DyslexiaConnect Thank you so much. I’ve had a difficult time getting any kind of information from anyone, anywhere for years. I think I submitted the form correctly.
I wish I don't have dyslexia When I solved equation I always got wrong, sometimes I missed something,,I don't really know why..... But I knew the formula I tried checking it twice but when I did I feel like there's nothing wrong and then I saw the answer 🤦 I'm wrong again and sometimes I forgot how to spell a words and meaning of it
Thanks for your comment. Dyslexia is very real. You might find the info on this page helpful. Have a great day. www.understood.org/en/learning-thinking-differences/child-learning-disabilities/dyslexia/what-is-dyslexia
Thanks for your question. Typically, dyslexia evaluations are provided by doctors or psychologists who specialize in learning issues. So, a general practitioner may not offer this, but they may be able to recommend a specialist.
I think I may have developed symptoms of dyslexia soon after starting to learn to read Thai. Some letters in Thai resemble some Latin letters but have different pronounciation, so that may have triggered a neurological impediment in me.. Do you think there may be a correlation with learning a foreign script to dyslexia?
Thanks for your question! Dyslexia is neurological in origin, and it is lifelong. A person only has dyslexia if they are born with it. Have a great day.
I’m good at readin but I struggle when I read out loud sometimes certain letters from certain words go away and I see just the blank paper and I also read black letters in color is this dyslexia
Hi, and thanks for your question. Official evaluations are usually performed by a psychiatrist or doctor. I would contact the IDA, and they should be able to give you a list of possible providers. Here is their website: dyslexiaida.org/ . Thanks.

Thanks for your question. From what you mention, it sounds very likely that you do have dyslexia. The symptoms that you mention are very typical of dyslexia. There are many brilliant individuals who have dyslexia, so, it should not at all be viewed as an indicator of low intelligence.

+Michael Taylor That's a great question. No, there is no cure for dyslexia, due to it being a neurological disorder that affects the processing of written language. However, there are very effective tutoring options and strategies that can help dyslexic individuals learn to read, spell, and comprehend what they are reading. Also, there is no limit to what an individual with dyslexia can achieve! There are many dyslexic individuals who are extremely successful.

+Jacob Paniagua Hi, Jacob. Thanks for your comment. If you already have a 504 plan in place, you may only want a formal evaluation for the purpose of obtaining specific accommodations for dyslexia in the plan. These accommodations could include more time for tests, the option to use audiobooks when reading is required, etc. The formal evaluation could help with getting the 504 modified for dyslexia, if you need that.
Hi I think I am dyslexic because I have a hard time spelling. I get angry because I am 17 and I am constantly have to re write words. Just typing this was annoyingly difficult for me. When ever I bring it up to my mom though, she thinks I am looking for attention. It sucks and it slows me down in school and the teachers get angry at me for writing or reading slowly. I see words wrong and write words wrong. But no one takes me seriously. What should I do?

Can I ask my doctor about getting me tested? I have had some form of learning disability my whole life but my parents or teachers never told me for what and my mother passed away and my father does not remember. I have always struggled with reading and writing. I could not even properly read till 5th grade. I still struggle with spelling even simple words. I also flip numbers when I speak, but will write it down properly.

Am I? Texting is a nightmare. I can not send a single text over 5 words long without skipping a word or battling with the spell correct. Im super slow at typing. When I try to sound out words I really have no idea sometimes. I also find my writing numbers and words that I'm copying, I copy out of order for example 3456 still would say 3456 when I'm done but I write the 3 then 5 then 6 and squeeze the 4. I also default the saying right when asked right or left. Then I think "ok I'm left-handed(well use both write, eat left, sports and guitar right hand) this is the hand I write with and its this side "no sorry i ment left" anyways I struggle with all the symptoms of Dyslexia but Im very coordinated is that enough enough to disqualify. I also freeze up and write words and letters completely wrong if someone is watching me write. It is so embarrassing.It took about an hour to write and proofread this comment and it still probably has typos,I won't see them it weird but this is my world. Ive attempted to write 100s of comments and it just so difficult to express what I'm trying to say I dont send them most of the time.

Could i be dyslexic? I am from pakistan and i can barely read our nation language(urdu) and i cant wright it at all. I find it hard to spell words and keep mistaking different letters for each other. I cant seem to read any language out loud. I also find that it takes me school+tution+extra study at home to even finish a single mathematical problem. I have been studying ur language(urdu) since grade 1 but still have this problem 10 years later. I also have a problem that if i try to read for long i get a headache.

Im scared to have this ,I didnt have it before and I'm not saying I have it now but I got hit by a car during the summer and my brain swelled up as well as bled and ever since then I sometimes misspell words without even noticing ,i replace many different numbers than what I see or what I tend to put down ,and I'm fine with reading I just cant read how I used to i tend to get stuck so i have to go back and re read it but I also mix up words when I talk sometimes and it's hard for me to focus on a certain thing while I'm in class ,I'm not sure if this is traumatic dyslexia but I'm scared to get tested or evaluated.
Thank you for your comment, JJ. I'm so sorry to hear about that accident. It might be beneficial to speak with a neurologist about this, if you have not done so already. Do you have access to one?
Hey I think a dyslexic, I have really bad trouble spelling. I’m older than the average people who should know how to spell words that my age can spell.

I'm 37 yrs old. I never had dyslexia as a child and was an honor role student. 4 years ago I became sick with a while bunch of things doctors couldn't identify and they have me a dx of fibromyalgia. During the course of the last 4 years. I've began to have trouble with words being jumbled when I read. Also with numbers being jumbled. But I've also noticed that I sometimes Jumble words when I speak or day things out of order. I have trouble watching tv because things are kind of mixed up and so I tend to zone off, looking at the screen. Is this what dyslexia is like? Can you become dyslexic later in life? And could I be dyslexic? Thanks for any feedback in advance.
Hi, Mrs. C. Thanks for your question. Individuals who have dyslexia are born with it. It is possible that a person may become aware of the symptoms and signs later in life, but a person does not actually develop it later in life. If a person has dyslexia, they have always had dyslexia. There are other medical issues that can cause symptoms that are similar to dyslexia. You might find it helpful to contact the International Dyslexia Association. dyslexiaida.org/ .
I think I may have it as I have a terrible attention span, extremely hard time focusing ,bad handwriting, can't spell words well at all one example is machine even though I spell it a decent bit and always have to Google it I still don't know how to spell it and rely on auto correct. I'm really REALLY unorganized and have to reread the same page like 4 times to get a basic understanding and I often skip words and alot of the time I have to take a few seconds to process something someone says that sounds like alot however I still can read comics pretty easy and compared to my peers I'm pretty smart but because I'm in cyber school I have to manage my time but I take really long in English and history which makes me work less in science and math which drags down my grades so I only get C's part of this is my anxiety probably (I was diagnosed with severe anxiety) however as a kid I still had most of these troubles. I'm just wondering if they seem like symptoms of it or if I may just have bad reading skills and if I end up getting a diagnosis should I just ask my doctor
Thanks for your question. Several of those difficulties that you mention are typical signs of dyslexia. Regarding being tested for dyslexia, official testing is typically conducted by doctors or psychologists who specialize in learning issues. So, yes, as a start, you could ask your doctor for a referral to a specialist who can test for dyslexia. Have a great day!

I think i am possibly dyslexic but my parents say that they dont think i am. I am 14 and for the last 2-3 years i have struggled a lot to read and say i read a page of a book or a sentense i will have to read it lots of times for me to understand it. Also when i read words seam to swap places so the word order is different. I also have to think a lot when spelling words aloud, i have to write them down.

Lily Thornton I have the same problem I believe I have dyslexia and my friend has it and I can relate with the struggles she has. But my parent don't think I have dyslexia what sucks and it is harder in school I found year 11,12 and 13 is the hardest years in college if you haven't been tested.
Lily Thornton I'm just like that! I've always thought it was just my adhd, but I don't know...
I used to crying taking hours doing notes on 6 pages of a book for my 6th grade class, my grammar and spelling are bad and I still take long to read but I got better by rereading and just trying. The pain in English class is a pain for me so I just want to see if I have it 💀
Thank you for your comment and question! I'm so sorry to hear about those struggles. Have you spoken to your parents or teachers about these struggles?
you probably dont you're just booting up slower that's normal
Wow, I'm just learning I might be dyslexic.....I've always struggled to read chapter books ALL my life and have just recently begun to read them. I would constantly re-read old graphic novels because I wasn't able to finish a chapter book without getting frustrated because I couldn't focus on the words. I've also realized with test's which I'm doing currently I struggle to focus on the tiny text they type the reading passages in...so for the first time today I saw dyslexia font... it's AMAZING!! I'm finally able to read without having to go over and over and over and re-read what I have already read...this truly is a lifesaver and now I finally can go get a proper diagnosis from a specialist!
Thanks for your comment!
you probably dont you're just booting up slower that's norma
I don’t know if I have dyslexia because I’m 16 and I don’t know if that’s too late to get a diagnosis. I’m good at spelling sometimes. I’m just really bad at memorizing text. I have to reread 2-4 times when I read a textbook for school. It happens a lot when reading a textbook. Maybe because it’s boring? It happens a few times for math too. When I read a sentence, sometimes I can’t remember and I have to go back and sometimes go back and read it slowly to really get it. I do this because I forget the words and/or they switch in my head and then don’t make sense. When I have to read to the class, I don’t remember anything I read out loud and then I reread it once I don’t have to read it out loud anymore. I also day dream a lot when I’m reading. Like I space out and then I come back. I can read a chapter book better than I can read a textbook though.
Thanks for your comment. It's actually never too late to be evaluated for dyslexia. A diagnosis of dyslexia can come at any age.
I'm diagnosed with Dyslexia just two years ago. I have been carrying the symptoms since I was a child but my family thought I'm just a lazy child. I have difficulty reading since then and had been bullied because of it. I didn't undergo proper reading techniques but I willed my self to learn though I still have difficulty reading up until now.
Hi, and thanks for your comment. Yes, unfortunately, many people do not understand dyslexia, and think that a dyslexic's struggles are due to laziness or lack of effort. You would actually still benefit from the right sort of instruction for reading and spelling. It is never too late to make improvement. Are you located in the U.S.? Or somewhere else? I may be able to recommend some resources. Thanks.
I have all the symptoms of dyslexia and I'm getting tested at school and in nervous I don't want anyone to know in case I get bullied in primary school I always got told I was just lazy and didn't listen. I find it really hard to consontrate
Hi, and thanks for your comment. You should not feel bad about the possibility of having dyslexia. There are many brilliant and successful people with dyslexia! It's great that you're being tested, because once you verify what the issue is, it will be much easier to address it. Have a great day.
I don't know if I'm dyslexic. Sometimes, I miss out lines and read words as different words. My eyes also sometimes can't focus on the line I'm reading and I HATE reading out loud.
Thanks for your comment.
I feel as thiugh i have dyslexia, fir some things here are the reason:
1. When i am tyoing, i always mix up “O” with “I”
2. I always jumble letters, like writing bigger words shch as “soemthing” and “moght” are words i soell wrong a lot-
3. It is difficult to read outloud for me
4. This paraghraphh took a long time, and there are a lot of mistakes.
Sorry if it was hard to understand :)
5. When i go to write “happened” or long words, i will often use different letters, or skip lots of letters, like i could skip the first two letters and just do a “P” and then have ti gi back.

And was like, "Dyslexia? Sounds dangerous"-
And instead of looking for THIS video I searched "Tubbo being dyslexic" aaaaand it just broke my heart-
And when this was recommended for me I called my elementary friend to watch this with me. I wasn't dyslexic and was just naturally nervous, but I think my friend was. She would take time to spell "Diagnosis", "prohibited", "caution" etc.... and after she reads a book she din't understand anything so she would re-read it and sometimes misread a word in a simple sentence.
Thanks for your comment. I'm glad you found our channel!
I have not been tested on any extent as to whether or not I am dyslexic. A common tell tale sign is that I may take 1 1/2 times as long to read a single sentence or paragraph, because I frequently find myself reading sentences and paragraphs from the middle to the end. Then I need to read it all from the beginning. ADHD is my main Achilles heel, so dyslexia is the least of my worries. However, I have not been formally tested yet. So I don’t really know the actual severity.
Thanks for your comment.
I'm easily forgetful after reading something, even a simple leaflet which then I will force myself read it again and again from the beginning. When I write something on a paper, even if a word written looks a bit uneasy to me, I will rub it off and write the same word again. When I did some mistakes, even it was a small mistake, I will become easily depressed and I will extremely search for any way so that I won't repeat the mistake again.

I feel just. The same I can't complete my work truly my work books are all unchecked I just feel very ashamed of telling that to anyone that I can't remember tables,dates,timeline,or what I did yesterday . Ones me and my all cousins were together and my uncle came home from work he started asking us questions about math like area decimals and there were more questions my all causions are very studious but I'm not and I was feeling so bad at that time that I was so close to crying and now I searched this vedeo beacause my dad just told me if I wont study I can't be successful I can't I will become dependent on other people he said right but I wish I could tell him how I felt goin to school when ever I wake up in morning to go to school I just can't I feel scared of what if a teacher of mine asks me to give her my notebook . I lie so much in school cause I feel scared what if my teacher finds out about I don't my work I don't my homework and then they will call my parents and my parents will send me too boarding school I laugh so much to make my heart happy that it's nothing I need to just study harder . And if autocorrect wasnt made I would be the dumbest kid ever I should be in grade nine right now by my age but I'm still in 6 grade . Every time new year starts I make myself promise that this year I will try my best but it goes opposite
When I read something I have a habit of reading the same sentence like I've not completely understood it or gave my brain enough time
to grasp the information within the sentence, I find myself going back and reading the same sentence two or three times to
just to let it sink in, If I get ambitious and try read too fast I forget previous pages and have to go back.
It's not all the time though, sometimes I can read just fine in front of people and out loud, the words just flow but with every book I delve it to it can feel more of chore than anything, my concentration is foggy, recalling information after finishing a book is like trying to carve water from a stone and its not just reading, diagrams can be quite challenging for me given the complexity of the subject.
I've never been tested for dyslexia but I've always wondered why I have some difficulty reading, oh and I'm not confident in my handwriting or spelling intricate
words. I tend to get frustrated when I'm writing and I end up ripping the pages out and starting again until I'm satisfied, this can really be discouraging and time consuming, weird I know but I'm just trying to be honest, reading for me can be a daunting task at times, even when you just want to just pick up a book and feel connected with
the author, unfortunately I've never got feel that way about reading.

I really enjoy reading novels in off time. When reading to myself, in my head, I read just fine and pretty much comprehend what I’m reading. But I notice reading out loud to my kids, i can’t read as smooth as I do when reading to myself. I did have reading troubles when I was in early grade school and was kinda a jackass when it came to school work. Went to doctors and all that at the time and I was put on addarall, which I did not like at all and after maybe 5 years of being drugged with it, I made my own choice to stop the medication by high school. I maybe had problems with spelling in the beginning but I feel I’m an above average speller. Not sure why I’m writing this but if it helps anyone out, I guess that’s a plus. I just discovered your channel and I am enjoying the info. Btw I’m 32yrs old at the time of typing this.
Thanks for your comment. Glad you are enyjoying our channel!
I can read well... But i often place a word of my own while reading and sometimes misspell a particular word.
Like, if i am given to read "i am not there" i will read "i am always there"
Sometimes i often omit the words. But still i can read well.
Is this dyslexia?
Thanks for your question. Trouble with reading accuracy is a common symptom of dyslexia, but you would need to be evaluated for dyslexia to determine if that is the cause of the issues. If you are interested in an evaluation, the International Dyslexia Association is a good resource. Have a great day. dyslexiaida.org/
I constantly make typing errors. When I read using my mind, It becomes soooo slow that I'd need to read words out loud. I'm inconsistent with my pronouns. Reading a book or a piece of literature especially one I'm not that interested in exhausts me. Sometimes whe I'm reading something, I just find myself reading on without even understanding what a sentence meant so I'd have to read it again, multiple times sometimes. When my mom asks me to buy something from a store, I'd always forget what it was unless I wrote them down. I also have problems remembering names of people, things, movies, videos as well as events. I thought I just had a really short attention span but when I somehow came across a reply on one of my comments implying I might have Dyslexia, that's when I started to think abd dive deeper into it.
Thanks for your comment. The difficulties that you mention are among the possible symptoms of dyslexia. Have a great day.
I think I have it sometimes when I read I spell words wrong such as it will say polish but I’ll say posh and I also can’t understand books I have to keep reading it and even then sometimes I can’t understand it, when someone tells me to get something for them sometimes it takes me time to process the information, I hardly can pronounce words properly and find it hard to spell words and sometimes I’ll reverse words and I find it hard to memorise and when Someone asks me a question it takes me time to understand or sometimes I need to write it down to understand and to understand a question I have to read i about 5 times but I’m not 100% sure if I have it, even when I’m in exams and I re check my work I find it difficult and can’t spot any mistakes and I get overwhelmed with so much information, words and letters
Thanks for your comment.
I have the dsylexic superpower of seeing numbers, and words disappear, and reappear over and over again. Very frustrating..

Okay. Did the school mention that they wanted to do any testing? Or anything like that?
no, they said they were going keep looking to see if there's more evidence that I have it.
Okay. You might find it helpful to contact the International Dyslexia Association. dyslexiaida.org/contact/
I have taken 5 informal tests, they all came back with saying I most likely have dyslexia. I have been told by my teachers and some friends that I should get tested. :/ I don't want dyslexia lol
But all of the problems discussed by the tests seemed so firmilliar
@@RedGMD Thanks for your comment. There are many successful people who have dyslexia! So, you shouldn't worry about it being a limitation. It doesn't limit what you can do in life. Have a great day!

Hi, I have a lot of symptoms of dyslexia, but I also am pretty sure that I have adhd, and some of the symptoms of dyslexia I have are similar to ones of adhd. I'm going to look into this more, but I was wondering if you had any tips or website where I can learn more?

Hey I think I have dyslexic but having subtitles helps me understand what some people are saying is that normal?
Thanks for your question. That could be related to dyslexia. You may need to have an official dyslexia evaluation to determine that. There is also something called Auditory Processing Disorder, which could be another possibility. Here is info on that. Have a great day! www.understood.org/en/learning-thinking-differences/child-learning-disabilities/auditory-processing-disorder/understanding-auditory-processing-disorder
I think I might be dyslexic. Because I could never pronounce words correctly and I would always misspell words. I even asked my teacher and she said it could be possible. I can’t do the “correct the sentence or word” work sheet they would give us at school. I also need help telling right from left and have to use my hands. Sometimes I can’t even read a sentence right. I’m 13. Am I dyslexic?
Thanks for your question, Jade. The symptoms you mention are typical of dyslexia, however, it's not possible to provide a diagnosis of dyslexia without working directly with a student. Are you located in the U.S.? Or elsewhere? I can provide you with some resources. Thanks.
What is the average cost of an informal eval and a formal eval?
Thanks for your question. The cost can vary greatly depending on the provider. The International Dyslexia Association may be able to provide some example costs. Here is their website. Have a great day. dyslexiaida.org/
Hello sir. I am a technical instructor teaching adults. I recently encountered a student who revealed to me, only after he failed the class final exam, that he was formally evaluated as dyslexic. His professional examiner was able to positively evaluate him even before the clinic visit, while talking to him on the phone for just five minutes. I wish I could have caught this myself during the two day teaching portion of the course. I also wish I could have provided him with the proper resources that would assist him in the final exam. Please let me know some of the basics of evaluation or some resources that I can read.
Hi, and thanks for your question! This site has excellent information on dyslexia. www.understood.org/en/learning-attention-issues/child-learning-disabilities/dyslexia/understanding-dyslexia . If you are interested in a book, "Overcoming Dyslexia" by Sally Shaywitz is a great introduction to dyslexia.
i've been having some issues from a year or two now, im not trying to self diagnosed because i really don't know whats going on with me. Im 17 and some of this issues are - mixing words (both when they look alike or sometiemes even dont, they simply appear in the same sentence and I mix them), I think a lot on how some words are spelled, in fact when I take tests Im good in listening, but have a considerable amount of missespelling in writings. When Im reading for some reason I combine words, so if I have cat and hat my brain reads 'that' for example. and to this list add the fact that I have had maths problems my entire life, I mix up numbers or signs, its been a headache and has cost me lots of failed exams, but the thing is that I understand it, I know how it's done, but for some reason I mixed stuff and end up with a very different answer.
im worried because no close relative thinks its a big deal and in not so long time Im taking a very important exam (the access to university), so I dont wanna screw it up with any of this. Idk, i hope someone can give me their opinion on this, id ve very grateful
Hi, Angie. Thanks for your question. Do you live in the UK? Or U.S.? I can probably suggest some resources, once I know which country you live in.
Hi. Google and you tube are your new friends. Do lots of research on various platforms. Dyslexia has many different types. Unfortunately mainstream education is next to useless in finding out what is going on. You have to find out what clicks for you. Just remember. There is NOTHING WRONG with you! You are just wired differently then the a average person. God loves variety. Why do you think there is so many different colors. Good luck.
Can you get really good jobs like being a docter if your dyslexic I just really can't stand stuttering all the time and hard to say words
Yes, absolutely! Individuals with dyslexia work in every profession. There are many highly successful individuals who have dyslexia!
Sometimes when people talk to me everything they say goes straight over my head and when they’re finished talking, I have no idea what they were just talking about. It’s really annoying because it happens when my friends and family talk to me and in a lecture etc. Also when I read books/ articles etc... I have to reread each phrase more than 4 times to just try and understand what it means. It makes like really difficult sometimes! It’s weird because I was in all academic classes at school! Now I’m 21 and I’m seriously wondering if I have dyslexia?? What do I do?? 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! It took me so long because I had to keep reading through it and every time my family would talk I’d have to start again because I got distracted so easily and I find it really hard to concentrate. Do I have dyslexia?
I also have really bad short term memory and it’s gotten worse over the years though I think it used to be sharp?
Thanks for your question, Marie. Several of the difficulties you mention are common for individuals who have dyslexia. Regarding a diagnosis of dyslexia, this must be given by a doctor or psychologist who specializes in the issue. You may find it helpful to contact the IDA. dyslexiaida.org/
I have no clue if I'm dyslexia or ADD... I have some symptoms in both learning difficulties... I have always had a moderate learning difficulty at school
+Liv Smith Hi, Liv. Thanks for your comment. Dyslexia and ADD sometimes go together. You might find it useful to watch our video on the symptoms of dyslexia, because you would be able to determine whether you are experiencing any of those specific symptoms.
Im not sure if I have dyslexia,maybe a year or 2 ago my eye doctor said I have alot of dyslexic symptoms but she said I might just have bad eyes so I got glasses,I still have alot of them but not all of them,my mom said I have something similar to dyslexia but I haven't gotten tested and the only reason they haven't noticed its worse is because auto correct on phones/ computers
Thanks for your comment.
I believe I have dyslexia but never really bothered to learn it from an expert. Hand writing is a nightmare for me because it takes so much effort and concentration. Because of this my hand writing is terrible, some people find it unreadable. I write some letters capital in middle of words, constantly confuse b, p and d, forgot which side "g" faces, even forgot to write whole words and have difficulties writing whats on my mind. But when it comes to reading everything seems to be normal. I occasionally misread, skip a line or a word but everybody does that right? can't say the same thing for the math though. Im laughably bad at math. As you can guess school and university was agonizing for me. Because of my dyslexia and my country's education system. Most people in my country don't even know what dyslexia is and they just started to acknowladged it. But still I somehow manage to finish university. (although with terrible grades lol) I didn't even know what dyslexia is three years ago (this alone shows how equiped my country is against dyslexia) and now that I know everything. It all makes sense now. Back then I thought I was just bad or didn't try hard enough.
But one thing I noticed about my dyslexia is that its not universal. Because Im more dyslexic against my native language Turkish. But less for English. Am I the only person experience this?
Thanks for your comment. It's possible that your dyslexia manifests itself in slightly different ways, depending on which language you are using. This could be due to the nature of the language.
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
Thanks for your comment.
i think i have it since sometimes i would mispell words, when i read i would zone one or would have to re read couple times. Or i would read it fine then skip to other sentence while in middle sentence, also i would do left as right and right as left when i do directions sometimes. and i have a weird sign for reading i would see pictures in words if that makes any sense
Thanks for your comment.
I think I have dyslexia sometimes I have issues with spelling and reading out loud and I can't read well. I'm an adult that is my main problem right now there's any help with this issue, even to read and understand the words well I can. and to memorize out that is an other problem with me I see it every difficult to spelling, read out loud and to memorize it, even in examination...

Hello, I am a 13 year old child from Germany.
I have recently looked into what dyslexia is and I have most of the symptoms.
I have huge problems with grammar, reading out loud, remember something i JUST read, problems remembering something i just re-read, i have problems following and doing simple tasks that we were given in school, i have problems understanding tasks that were explained to me muiltiple times, i sometimes end up sitting there doing nothing because I understood nothing at all. I have problems with math and often have to use calculators or my fingers in order to get the task done. I have huge concentration problems and can't focus at all most of the time, I also stutter a lot when reading out loud and I tend to accidentally skip lines/words/pauses in my head and out loud. I'm not sure what to do, i have tried to talk to my mom about it but she simply shrugged it off with saying "You don't have it" without any proof nor did she explain why she thinks so. My friend suggested that I talk to a teacher that I trust so I can at least can an answer but I'm scared that I'm just stupid and not dyslexic, i would have wasted so much time, effort and everything. I don't want to know the answer but I also do..
Thanks for your comment. I definitely understand! Would you, perhaps, be able to have a conversation about this with your teacher and your mom together?
@@DyslexiaConnect Hello! Thank you for replaying. My friend and i talked to a teacher, the teacher mentioned that we have a person who specializes with dyslexia in our school, on monday im supposed to take a test with a few others and if i do show signs of having it they're gonna take me aside and ask me a few questions :)

Hey, I have always had problems with numbers and infact I hate anything which has to with numbers and I also have a problem in understanding, memorizing and I have been a average kid all my life. For example, I read a paragraph 2 to 3 times to fully understand and memorize. I also have a problem in delivering what's in my mind. In my head it sounds great but I butcher it when it comes to delivery. But surprisingly I was good at spellings and reading sentences or paragraphs out loud, infact I loved it when teachers used to give me dictation tests and reading things out loud. So I'm really confused because I do have few of these symptoms but not all of them. Will getting diagnosed help?
Thanks for your question! It is actually very common for individuals with dyslexia to have some of the common symptoms, but not all of them. We see this frequently. Getting an official evaluation or diagnosis from a doctor or psychologist could provide further information and context for those issues you mention. Have a great day!
Hi Peter, are you dyslexic yourself? Is it easy to get a diagnosis in the US? It's really hard in the UK. This video is interesting so I'll be having a look at some of the others later. I wonder if you deal with the link between dyslexia and ADHD, or perhaps that's covered in another video.
Blacksquareable Hi! Thanks for your comment. That's a great question. I am not dyslexic, but I have been a dyslexia tutor for a number of years.
To get a diagnosis in the U.S., a person usually needs to find the right resources. For a formal evaluation, there are typically doctors and psychiatrists who will perform this. The International Dyslexia Association keeps a list of professionals who perform formal evaluations. In the UK, you might find the British Dyslexia Association helpful in this matter.
For an informal evaluation, usually a dyslexia tutor is a great resource. We provide informal evaluations online for free at Dyslexia Connect, for those who are interested in knowing if their children (or they) show signs of dyslexia.
That's a very interesting comment about ADHD and dyslexia. I plan on covering this in a future video. Thanks for the suggestion!

Things are worse here. It is very hard to get a proper diagnosis in the US and bias towards ADHD runs deep. School, psychologists and even Dyslexia specialists are complicit. Check out DyslexicDays on Facebook.

I am 16 and have trouble understanding things at school. If my teacher says the question out loud I can answer it out loud easily but if I am asked to write my answer down I struggle.

My mum says that I am just trying to come up with an excuse to not do well in school.

He often is really alert but once I have him read he is just not interested and starts yawning a lot. He was tested for ADD but he doesn’t have it. If he reads a sentence he will often skip a word or two and add other words that aren’t there at the end. He mixes up d and b, p and 9. The other day he was doing his homework he read the word “number” and on the next page the word “number was there again and he just couldn’t read it. He got so frustrated and cried he said he was stupid and it broke my heart into a million little pieces😭💔

Thanks for your question. Typically, dyslexia evaluations are provided by doctors or psychologists who specialize in learning issues. So, a general practitioner may not offer this, but they may be able to recommend a specialist.
I think I may have developed symptoms of dyslexia soon after starting to learn to read Thai.
Some letters in Thai resemble some Latin letters but have different pronounciation, so that may have triggered a neurological impediment in me..
Do you think there may be a correlation with learning a foreign script to dyslexia?
Thanks for your question! Dyslexia is neurological in origin, and it is lifelong. A person only has dyslexia if they are born with it. Have a great day.

+Jacob Paniagua Hi, Jacob. Thanks for your comment. If you already have a 504 plan in place, you may only want a formal evaluation for the purpose of obtaining specific accommodations for dyslexia in the plan.

If you take the wrong bus all the time. Does that count?
Thanks for your question. If this is related to difficulty reading the signs, or difficulty with sense of direction, it could be related to dyslexia.
Can I ask my doctor about getting me tested? I have had some form of learning disability my whole life but my parents or teachers never told me for what and my mother passed away and my father does not remember. I have always struggled with reading and writing. I could not even properly read till 5th grade. I still struggle with spelling even simple words. I also flip numbers when I speak, but will write it down properly.
Hi, and thanks for your question. Yes, you can ask your doctor about an official dyslexia evaluation. You may also find it helpful to speak with someone at the IDA. Thanks. dyslexiaida.org/
Am I? Texting is a nightmare. I can not send a single text over 5 words long without skipping a word or battling with the spell correct. Im super slow at typing. When I try to sound out words I really have no idea sometimes. I also find my writing numbers and words that I'm copying, I copy out of order for example 3456 still would say 3456 when I'm done but I write the 3 then 5 then 6 and squeeze the 4. I also default the saying right when asked right or left. Then I think "ok I'm left-handed(well use both write, eat left, sports and guitar right hand) this is the hand I write with and its this side "no sorry i ment left" anyways I struggle with all the symptoms of Dyslexia but Im very coordinated is that enough enough to disqualify. I also freeze up and write words and letters completely wrong if someone is watching me write. It is so embarrassing.It took about an hour to write and proofread this comment and it still probably has typos,I won't see them it weird but this is my world. Ive attempted to write 100s of comments and it just so difficult to express what I'm trying to say I dont send them most of the time.
Hi, and thanks for your comment. The issues you mention are very typical of dyslexia. A person can be extremely coordinated, but still have dyslexia. You might find it helpful to reach out to the International Dyslexia Association. dyslexiaida.org/
Could i be dyslexic? I am from pakistan and i can barely read our nation language(urdu) and i cant wright it at all. I find it hard to spell words and keep mistaking different letters for each other. I cant seem to read any language out loud. I also find that it takes me school+tution+extra study at home to even finish a single mathematical problem. I have been studying ur language(urdu) since grade 1 but still have this problem 10 years later. I also have a problem that if i try to read for long i get a headache.
Thank you for your question. The symptoms that you list are common symptoms of dyslexia. If you would like to know if you have dyslexia for sure, you would need to be evaluated by a doctor or psychologist who specializes in learning issues. You may find it helpful to contact the International Dyslexia Association for additional information. dyslexiaida.org/
Im scared to have this ,I didnt have it before and I'm not saying I have it now but I got hit by a car during the summer and my brain swelled up as well as bled and ever since then I sometimes misspell words without even noticing ,i replace many different numbers than what I see or what I tend to put down ,and I'm fine with reading I just cant read how I used to i tend to get stuck so i have to go back and re read it but I also mix up words when I talk sometimes and it's hard for me to focus on a certain thing while I'm in class ,I'm not sure if this is traumatic dyslexia but I'm scared to get tested or evaluated.
Thank you for your comment, JJ. I'm so sorry to hear about that accident. It might be beneficial to speak with a neurologist about this, if you have not done so already. Do you have access to one?
amazingly total mi
Hey I think a dyslexic, I have really bad trouble spelling. I’m older than the average people who should know how to spell words that my age can spell.
Thanks for your comment. It is never too late to improve reading and spelling with the right type of instruction. Have you ever had dyslexia tutoring?
No. My parents don’t really I know I have a lot of trouble,
@@heybesties4122 Thanks for the additional information. Have you spoken with a teacher about these difficulties?
@@DyslexiaConnect my teacher is recognized my trouble with spelling slang grammar.
@@heybesties4122 Have you mentioned to your teachers that you feel like you may have dyslexia?
Little darlings out there don't ever feel embarrassed. Just always remember .*Tom Cruise has Dyslexia*
It's true look it up. That may help you...
God bless you...
I'm 37 yrs old. I never had dyslexia as a child and was an honor role student. 4 years ago I became sick with a while bunch of things doctors couldn't identify and they have me a dx of fibromyalgia. During the course of the last 4 years. I've began to have trouble with words being jumbled when I read. Also with numbers being jumbled. But I've also noticed that I sometimes Jumble words when I speak or day things out of order. I have trouble watching tv because things are kind of mixed up and so I tend to zone off, looking at the screen. Is this what dyslexia is like? Can you become dyslexic later in life? And could I be dyslexic? Thanks for any feedback in advance.
Hi, Mrs. C. Thanks for your question. Individuals who have dyslexia are born with it. It is possible that a person may become aware of the symptoms and signs later in life, but a person does not actually develop it later in life. If a person has dyslexia, they have always had dyslexia. There are other medical issues that can cause symptoms that are similar to dyslexia. You might find it helpful to contact the International Dyslexia Association. dyslexiaida.org/ .
I think I may have it as I have a terrible attention span, extremely hard time focusing ,bad handwriting, can't spell words well at all one example is machine even though I spell it a decent bit and always have to Google it I still don't know how to spell it and rely on auto correct. I'm really REALLY unorganized and have to reread the same page like 4 times to get a basic understanding and I often skip words and alot of the time I have to take a few seconds to process something someone says that sounds like alot however I still can read comics pretty easy and compared to my peers I'm pretty smart but because I'm in cyber school I have to manage my time but I take really long in English and history which makes me work less in science and math which drags down my grades so I only get C's part of this is my anxiety probably (I was diagnosed with severe anxiety) however as a kid I still had most of these troubles. I'm just wondering if they seem like symptoms of it or if I may just have bad reading skills and if I end up getting a diagnosis should I just ask my doctor
Thanks for your question. Several of those difficulties that you mention are typical signs of dyslexia. Regarding being tested for dyslexia, official testing is typically conducted by doctors or psychologists who specialize in learning issues. So, yes, as a start, you could ask your doctor for a referral to a specialist who can test for dyslexia. Have a great day!
I have dyslexia and I'm trying to get my GED but I don't know what to do and what steps to take?
Hi, Kalish. Thanks for your question. Are you located in the U.S.? Or somewhere else? Once I know that, I can list some possible resources. Thanks.
I am in the US Belleville Michigan and I am trying to study for my GED but it's really hard for me
Thanks for the info, Kalish. I would suggest giving the Michigan branch of the IDA a call. They may have suggestions for local resources. mi.dyslexiaida.org/ If you are interested in online tutoring, you can find information about our tutoring program here. www.dyslexiaconnect.com/pricing-2/
