None of my five children spoke ontill they were in preschool ( 4 years old). All of them have varying degrees of learning difficulties. Thank you for your well thought out presentations.
Thank you Jeremy, I really appreciate that. And I hope your children have been given the support they deserve - it sounds like they have a solid, loving environment at home, at the very least. 💞
I've long suspected that I have Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia and Dysgraphia, my handwriting has been a bugbear since I was a kid, I was tested for Dyslexia but I was told I read and spell too well. At 42 years old I cannot subtract, divide, or add certain numbers.
To be told you read and spell too well betrays a particular bias of the assessor: there are many different ways to assess for dyslexia, and some people can read and spell very well. For example, I couldn't read quickly or spell at all until I was about 17, when I effectively taught myself how (you can see a little of what lay behind that, here: ua-cam.com/video/OVM8v1oczjU/v-deo.html). So now I can spell because I understand morphology, not because I'm not dyslexic. My reading is still painfully slow, but I *can* read, and *do* read, because I have to, and I generally understand what I read, even though I'll have to slowly read, re-read, and repeat to myself certain things (such as acronyms) because there's no morphology in them.
Dysgraphia is a tough one, because few assessors really test for it. It generally comes under your generic dyslexia assessment, and so getting tested is difficult, and that's really frustrating (again, you can find me talking about handwriting, here: ua-cam.com/video/GgvimvfPZR8/v-deo.html). Same for dyspraxia and dyscalculia, sadly.
I really do sympathise with your situation: it's like you're as sure as you can be about yourself, yet you were tested for one thing, using one set of norms, and it's as if you've lost your chance to be assessed for what you truly believe you have. I can only hope you've managed to navigate the issues successfully, and that the people around you understand what you're going through.
@@DyslexiaBytes well it was Catholic school and in the stupidest 'country' on the planet: Scotland.
I have a couple question. What is it called when you are tone deaf and also what is it called when you can not whistle as related to dyslexia? I have all that you listed plus the two identifiers I’ve listed.
Interesting questions!
So forgive my geekiness here, but there's actually research linking tone deafness with phonemic awareness struggles. In other words, there's research linking being tone deaf with having one of the key components of dyslexia. Put simply - you're spot on, it's possible (though with all these things there are few certainties) that dyslexia can actually cause tone deafness!
Regarding the whistling - well it could be that if you have either dyslalia, or oromotor dyspraxia, then you may struggle to form the shapes with your mouth that allow you to whistle. I whistle a lot, but badly, and it took me years and years to develop the ability to do it - *way* later than most people, and with a ton of practice! And I still can't whistle in the way that most people can (and I can't "wolf whistle" or "cat call whistle"). And I'm dyspraxic as well as dyslexic.
I love it when people ask questions like yours - they're fascinating, and really help join the dots where a lot of issues are concerned.
@@DyslexiaBytes I am sometimes tone deaf (and sometimes not) - so sometimes I sing in tune, and other times I'm totally off-key, and I can't tell the difference. Sometimes I can hear a pin drop - but often I have to ask people to say something again because they spoke quietly or were muffled. I have wondered if I have some auditory processing disorder....
Fascinating,@@beverleysinton8814 - it could well be a form of apd, yes. I think I'll take a look into that.
I am tone death too. Why have we been forsaken? 😂
@@seliac1934 I don’t know. I sing out loud anyway because I love to sing. If others don’t like it, that’s their issue. 🤣🤣🤣
They thought I had a specific learning disability in math which I believe is what they called Dyscalculia when I was younger. Haven’t really heard others having it much . I don’t know if it’s how they tried teaching me or if concrete math topics were boring. Yes I can learn 2+2 however I would rather talk about why numbers exist and the relationship between numbers , what we observe and life . Numbers are symbols they could represent anything in life even objects . Humans assigned those numbers to explain quantity and it works , which it profound to me .
I love this. Far better questions than what they throw at us in maths class.
Somebody once asked me: "is (are?) mathematics objective?"
I answered: "No, maths is a human activity. But are numbers objective? - Again no, they're things we've invented to represent certain concepts. Are these concepts objective? -- Actually, I have no idea!"
i have the second one and third one... never got any help
I'm so sorry. If you're still looking for help, wherever you are in the world, perhaps you'd like to look at my Dyslexia Map, where I'm plotting dyslexia-focused organisations onto a Google Map, all around the globe. If you'd like to, please take a look at it here: www.TheDyslexiaMap.com ❤
@@DyslexiaBytes man the amount of times my teachers would make me redo my papers cuz they couldn’t read my hand writing 🥲I just gave up
I feel you my friend. Horrible wasn't it. ❤🩹
Hy can you please tell me about any psychological theory that is perfectly linked with dyslexia (with dysgraphia) as I'm facing a difficulty while formulating a case study on dyslexia right now 🚨🚨🚨
Interesting question. It might be difficult to find too many psychological theories of dyslexia, as almost no organisation defines it as a psychological issue. There are certainly psychological issues that *come from* being dyslexic, as in trauma and mental health problems that people can suffer because of abuse or neglect or being undervalued throughout childhood or bullying, etc. Would those be the kinds of things you might be looking for?
I'm pleased to inform you it's successfully resolved.Thank you for your consideration.💞@@DyslexiaBytes
Actually @fareahanif8329 perhaps I misunderstood your question. I gave it some thought this morning and realised I might have not given you the answer you needed.
Both the British Psychological Society and the American Psychological Association have their own definitions (if not theories) of dyslexia; and dyslexia is often assessed by educational psychologists. This means that while dyslexia isn't defined as a psychological issue, it's still defined and understood by psychologists. Perhaps these definitions / understandings can help a bit?
1. British Psychological Society (from 1999, so quite a while ago now):
Dyslexia is "when accurate and fluent word reading and / or spelling develops very incompletely or with great difficulty. This focuses on literacy learning at the ‘word level’ and implies that the problem is severe and persistent despite appropriate learning opportunities”. They updated this but they haven't really been clear about a specific definition, it's more that they're exploring a lot of definitions that seem to be floating around the literature. What they have come out with however is that it is ”marked and persistent problems at the word level of the NLS curricular framework” (BPS 2005 p20). Please note, the NLS is non-statutory guidance, a 'Framework for Teaching' which sets out objectives for children from Reception to Year 6.
2. American Psychological Association:
Dyslexia is a "Specific Learning Disorder with impairment in reading".
3. DSM-5:
The DSM-5 definition considers dyslexia to be an "SLD" - a subtype of a Specific Learning Disorder - which is itself a particular type of neurodevelopmental disorder that "impedes the ability to learn or use specific academic skills (e.g., reading, writing, or arithmetic), which are the foundation for other academic learning. The learning difficulties are ‘unexpected’ in that other aspects of development seem to be fine".
As an aside, you might find this video interesting, it goes into these definitions and more! - ua-cam.com/video/JhavNVcwWTo/v-deo.html
Forgive me for answering too hastily, I hope this is helpful. ✊
Actually I've managed to sort out my work @DyslexiaBytes but your knowledge and expertise have been incredibly valuable to me, and I truly appreciate your support. Thank you for your consideration.💞

I suffer from just about all of this. I feel like my head is only big to make up for the space between my brain resepters. 😂. Suck at language anything but atleast I can build anything 😭. It won't be perfect though, bc i can't mesher right 💀
It's fascinating, Seliac. I was talking very recently about the "inverse relationship" (that is, when one thing's high, the other is low) between traditional "school learning" and other things like creativity, interpersonal problem solving, seeing connections, etc. I hope you broke through the horrendous school bit and managed to focus on what you can do better than others. ✊

Do you cal-cool-ee-ete on cal-cool-ee-atets?
🤣 Good point! 🤣
