Someone has told me I don’t look dyslexic... wut?
Ava Lent
Ava please watch a video called Super Brain yoga and it is the one that is about 4 minutes 18 seconds long as a segment from a news clip.
Superbrain yoga is being used to heal dyslexia and a bunch of other neurological problems and you will get best results by doing superbrain yoga several times a day
I've been told that.
People tell me that I don't act dyslexic and it bothhers me so mcuh
earthworm sally It’s really annoying, I know. I have been told that I must have a misdiagnosis of dyslexia as I am “too intelligent” to be dyslexic as I have a degree and can express myself well. This was told to me by someone who I only knew for about an hour 😆🤦🏻♀️
@@alaurahwillow155 I am a freshman in college and I got a full scholarship so people automatically assume that I am too smart to have dyslexia. Dyslexia isn't about being smart.
When your dyslexia makes you read the title “Things to say to dyslexia with someone”
Black 110s I read it as things dyslexia people say 😂
Black 110s I read rlly slow so idk how u found that. Lol I’m dyslexic and someone once told me Just stop being dumb there’s no such thing as dyslexia
I have a REALLY hard time with reading right now I have a colour overlay on my phone but it’s weird because it changes the colour of everything on my screen 🙄
I read it like ... "when you are distracted and can't read, blame dyslexia."
@@milanethington I'm scared of ignorant people , they fustrait the hell out of me
Getting asked to read aloud in class was my worst fear in school. 😂
Same here 😂
same :(
and doing speaches is even worse, i can't even write a speach
I love reading! I’m just a little slow…And I read the exact same line over and over…
@@thicken_nugget1186 same
I'm surprised no one talked about foreign language. It's killer for us dyslexic folks
Oh god yes so freaking hard.
It's so hard, I decided to learn korean/japanese a few years ago thinking it would be easier because it's symbols instead of actual letters but it still isn't easy, I took spanish for 2 1/2 years and no matter how hard I studied I still failed the multiple choice final and got a C on speaking and writing bc I did all the write stuff but spelled most wrong :( it's hard
John Busby ja you are rite.
Not for me my native language is Arabic and I could not read or write in Arabic but one day my mom bought an iPad for me it was all in English I knew some words but I also watched alot of English youtubers and I kinda learned english just by watching UA-cam videos
I have a dyslexic classmate that had spent a year in England to learn English, but even when she came back my English was still better than her and I couldn't understand how.
As someone with ADHD, the “you just need to focus” thing is the worst to hear
Yh
Like we r trying but like their ugly eyebrows distracting us AHAHAH
With ADHD and dyslexia, I hear that a lot!
@@moondustpixel5092 same
They should have one of these little episodes with people with ADHD
I have dyslexia and ADHD, so on exams, I'll be trying to read a question (for the 15000th time) and then i'll be like "ooh that piece of dust is interesting..." and have to start over again.
BellaBeeUnicorn bruh I relate on a spiritual level
cuz adhd iz not a rel thing in it!
BellaBeeUnicorn you might be a demigod (just a joke)
I wish...
I almost didn’t finish a history test in middle school because I spaced out and started thinking about “My Chemical Romance” for. twenty. minutes.
”well you don't look dyslexic” do we have a 3rd eye or something
nah we just wear jewelry with the alphabet in it so me can recite it in the correct order, we write left and right on are hands so we know which way it is and we carry a big bad with all of are audiobook cds
We have 4 eyes and horns.
my husband told me many times and i quote "you're too smart to be dyslexic. i really don't think that you are. and you should stop thinking that you are because you are not." continues to point out how i am too smart to be one and therefore i am not one. i mean, do you even know what it is? mind you, he'd never listen to my explanation anyways so....
@@onecatshortofcrazy146 Wait, you don't have the 3rd eye? Just kidding. How are one of us supposed to look? Well, I'm going to tell you an actual benefit for me. I can read upside down. This really freaks out the "normals". It's like they think I'm some kind of mutant. I LOL. I guess the years of therapy paid off.
*"YOU JUST NEED TO FOCUS"*
It hurts alot... ;-;

Edie Black dude yes. Half my words flipside down and i think someones using a different language
Literally, my answer whenever someone asks me to spell a word. "Can you spell 'princess'?" "P R I N------------cess" (totally didn't look up how to spelll 'princess')
This was a real conversation I had with someone
Person:you lied
Me:about
Person:being dyslexic
Me:huh...wait what
Person:your reading a book
I died a bit that day
omg😭😂
Omg dyslexic people don't have the ability to read or spell your lying because you made this comment.
Oh also what I said was a joke
I think I would be rich if I had a pound for every time I have been told you can´t be dyslexic you read to much.
@@5Pip I know right people are so rude
“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid”
In school people get's judged by their ability to spell and read. If you aren't able to do it, you will be labeled as stupid, lazy, worthless and the list goes on. Even if you know that it's not true, it will immensely damage a persons selfesteem and scar them for life, and if a person doesn't treat these psychological scar. It will affect them for the rest of their life, which is unfortunate but sadly true.
Sorry if there is spelling mistakes or grammatical errors, i am dyslexic.
Asger Lauritzen I am dyslexic as well
@CHLOE BEISNER I've seen the quote in my school, it's cool knowing where's is from though.
OMG prince EA right?!
I felt so worthless through school that I didn't want to believe I was dyslexic, I wanted to be the best reader
I just decided "hey I'm one of those people that isn't good at anything first try"
Then I found drama and clay and I was like "oh my brain is broken but I guess my hands know what they're doing"
I'm still not at peace with it though
Wonderfully put but please don’t apologise for spelling mistakes. You have nothing to be sorry for.
I would love to see a video about “what not to say to people with adhd” because as someone with adhd people assume a lot of things.

gardensofthegods I have ADHD 😂🤦♀️
@@jilomell3830 I really wish you would try that superbrain yoga and tell me if you get the results that a lot of people claim to have gotten with it... also there is a tea called butterfly blue pea tea.. and you take the flowers and steep about five or six of them for about 20 minutes to a half-hour and it is supposed to be very good for the neurology and everything that has to do with the brain and it's supposed to be very good for you for neurological things.
Another one that's supposed to be very good for the brain but tastes horrible and so you might be better off taking it in capsules is called haritaki... you can even go to the haritaki channel... he even sells it in the capsules... if you do it in the regular powdered form is really gross because it has a horrible taste and also the texture is like powdered sawdust.. supposedly it increases the oxygen by something like 300% to the brain and it just makes you a lot smarter and helps with many things and so you might want to look into it
@@gardensofthegods , please leave neurodiverse people alone and don't try to push some ridiculous bs "healing" agenda and bs products!
And STOP spreading pseudoscience bullshit!!!
That is NOT helpful to anyone, since it's pseudoscience woo and it's absolutely ridiculous made up lies! - Brain yoga that "heals ADHD & dyslexia"?? blue flower tea that's "good for neurology"?? Powder that "increases brain oxygen by 300%”??? - WTF?! How could you actually believe and spread this shit??
Unfortunately some naive people may fall for it and be swindled by people who sell bs pseudoscience products like this! So PLEASE STOP!!!
Oh big agree
I always hear "you don't have dyslexia because you can type".
Also please make a things not to say to someone with anxiety.
Luke YES PLEASE.
Great idea!
Yes that'd be awesome
I am a child of the 90;s and I actually learned to type on an electric typewriter, while I can now touch type well I failed the class because my spelling errors were mistaken as typos.

Magic glasses lol
Well, I think you can get glasses to kind of, help? My friend is dyslexic, and at school he used green pages in his work books. When we had to read from a textbook, he had a piece of green transparent plastic to move over the words, or green tinted glasses. Not trying to be rude, just trying to help.

I'm Dyslexic and I always felt so stupid in school. I got As and Bs but still struggled to read and write. I couldn't even comprehend the word 'Catch'. But after practicing I'm lot better now. I had to work hard but I'm getting better at it. Starting to.
Description Untitled me too. I was in "special" classes for English, but was in Advance Science classes in middle & high school. I read daily and that helps today, but I was a slow reader and horrible speller. Writing was always a trip to me. b, d, p's always came out wrong on paper
well doneee
geekphreak, I'm glad someone can relate. I probably would have excelled all throughout my schooling but writing and reading held me back. Kinda ironic how I felt stupid while getting good grades, but those were just for others class, not Language Arts. (English). I'm still practicing though. I wanna get better.
+Laila, Thank you.

Telling a dyslexic to try harder and focus is like telling an amputee to grow a limb.

STOP IT!!! DON'T YOU DARE TELL HER TO DIE!!!!!! Yeah what she said was not needed but you shouldn't tell her to die. Joking or not don't you ever tell somebody to die. Because I was told all the time to just go and die and I almost killed myself. So don't joke about it
I'm a primary teacher and I have to say that dyslexic pupils have my greatest respect. I've yet to meet a child with dyslexia who doesn't put 110% into their education, and knowing how much more difficult the whole curriculum is (due to it being very word and sight heavy) I am always amazed at their effort and results despite their condition. Last year I had a heart to heart with a young girl in my class who had been successfully concealing her dyslexia, previous teachers had just presumed she wasn't as smart as others and put her in the lowest groups. However, she is so witty and creative, finally it just clicked for me one day and she is now on a specialised programme. She was so embarrassed that she had been 'found out', but her parents and I explained why she had no reason to be ashamed - in fact, she should be proud of how much she has achieved despite her disadvantage. She hailed Steven Spielberg - arguably the best known director alive today and the man behind her favourite movie, E.T. - as her new hero as he is one of the many people out there today proving dyslexia doesn't stop people from doing great things.
Someone in this video mentioned ignorance - absolutely, the people who say those things written on those slips are merely showing their lack of knowledge.
Thank you
You’re like my teacher
There are people out there without the ability to empathise with anyone different to them - the fact that some of those people get themselves into responsible positions, like doctors and teachers, is frightening. Your teacher sounds like a moron, I hope you had others at school who actually understood what dyslexia was and gave you a more enjoyable education! As for folk who say they wouldn't date a dyslexic person, I'd respond that you don't want to date someone who, by thinking that, is so clearly narrow-minded, idiotic and not worth the time! :)
You're better than those people, mate!
You can’t forget:
“ Stop using dyslexia as a excuse “
“It’s a thing you made up”
Did you mean "It's a thing you made"?
It's a mindset?
I hope this isn't rude but, it's so interesting, how you messed up that last sentence, I've never even met a dyslexic person, (not that I know of at least)

Spell check doesn't even work for me sometimes... I spell something so incorrect that the computer just doesn't even know what I'm saying... XD
guys could someone tell me if I’m dyslexic it till I was 10/9 to be able to read a book for 3/4 year olds.
Math paper is just my worse night mare
Some how I have it in my brain that 4=a 7=f
E a u o like to be each other
The trick for left and right doesn’t work coz how am I supposed to tell which one is the L
I write words by just writing the 1st letters
I can not use a keyboard but a computer is the only way I can get spell check
I can miss full sentences and words when writing
And what is the difference between b and d, F and E, q and p
I can’t for the life of me do my alphabet
I count using litters
Some fonts just don’t work for me even if it’s like a “normal” font
I say the time is forty five past 2 instead of saying thifteen to three
And paragraphs like to be one massive piece of sgigurlly line
I can read the same line other and other and it won’t make sense
My mom can say something to me and I will have to repeat it in my head for ages for to make sense some times I have to tell her to repeat it.
My uncle had dyslexia
And my mom is sure I don’t have it but my friends are certain I do
The list can go one but I my brain hurts now so yeah
Edit I also stutter a lot and sometimes I can’t speak coz the words won’t go into my head
Amin to that!!!
I cant spell check for myself, when i write, i know how it is suppose to be written like but eventually i cant arrange the letters according to what it suppose to be like. Like mess up the letters, but the most funniest thing is when i spell check and read it again i could not detect it at all, but when my teacher read it, she dont know what im trying to spell actually or trying to tell 😂😂, she called out to me and pointed out a lot of ununderstanding words. Up to this day (im 18) i still have problems to spell friend properly, i need to pronounce the letter and spell check it like 3 times before i satisfied, i get so confused whether i or e comes first. Not just that, i could not determine left or right. I am struggling with it so much...i just cant do it. When people determine something between left or right like in a blink of eyes, i was amazed cause i need to look at my hands and position or rotate my body according to my hands just to determine it, and it was hard cause i need to do it a lot of times just for a single thing, i am struggling with it so so so bad
faiznur anis can relate on the left and right. I hate it the finger and thumb trick annoys me as it doesn’t work

Random fact: My school's librarian is dyslexic
Just thought that'd be cool to say lol
I have dyslexia and they gave me extra time on tests in school and I still fail on all of the test because I suck at Reading ...
My personal favourites I’ve heard are “can you grow out of your dyslexia” and *talking slower and louder* “oh sorry, I didn’t realise you were dyslexic, do you understand what this means?”
Like dumbass I can’t read your voice-
I have numerical dyslexia (dyscalculia) and its so frustrating because a lot of people don't realize the "other" symptoms: not getting things like distance, analog clocks, counting graph paper lines, messing up time. It's passed off as "dyslexia doesn't have extra symptoms", but 1. they do, and 2. even if they didn't that has no bearing on me. Thank you so much for sharing this!
Catherine Trewhella Yess oh my gosh, it’s like that with my dyslexia too!! people are like “but you can spell fine” and I’m like yeah but it effects memory and reading and writing speed, etc
i'm dyslexic and its always been numbers the main issue, I can read and write fine, i dont struggle with reading at all and just some spelling and grammar issues (sometimes i write letters or whole words backwards but its not as common as i used to) for me it was and always has been like a mental block with numbers, they confuse me and as people describe letters and words "moving about the page" when they try to read with dyslexia, numbers do that for me. not saying i'm problem free with writing though.
dyslexia is much more than just words and numbers though, it can cause difficulty with planning and organisation, memory and being easily distracted.
oh my god, thats a thing? i always thought i was stupid for having so much difficulty with time and distance and clocks and graphs and everything. people still tell me im stupid cause i cant read clocks
Same! It takes me longer to tell time, I can't do basic math and I always mix numbers up. At work people have work ID numbers and I have to ask what it is and I always swap a number or I miss a number and I don't realize it so I made it a habit to ask them to repeat it. My spelling and reading is fine its just with numbers.
sleepyinsomniac yeah I did't know that was a thing either when I was growing up I was just told oh she is just really bad at math and just let me pass every math class without a second thought even though I failed every test. I don't wear watches in fear of people asking me for the time, takes me to long to figure it out.
Being dyslexic the best thing ever is the mini microphone on the keyboard that you can just click and talk into and it will type out all your words, ever since I discovered it all my friends have been like wow Ava you're so good at spelling and wow Ava you're so fast at typing
Ava Linehan Lol I do the same thing 👏😂
Doesn’t work properly if you don’t speak English natively. For example Finnish version works quite well, but you have to articulate very slowly and carefully. Otherwise it’ll say something completely different if anything. I’d rather type out than take the risk of ”autocorrect” kind of situation.
Omg saaaame! I mean sometimes autocorrect just can’t figure out what I want cause the spelling is so bad😂 The mini mic is amazing!
It takes time and practice to master writing skills as a dyslexic. I'm dyslexic and I am an excellent writer in my native language, but when I have to switch to another language (I am a trilingual) it's super frustrating because I have to remember spelling, grammar, pronunciation and frequently I have to stop and check if I haven't messed up anything. It used to be much worse two years ago. I'm getting better every day at it but I have to work extra hard on it.
No no no no no no no no no no Nana Nana Nana Nana Nana Nana Anna Nana Nana Nana Nana Nana Nana Nana Nana i'm the lyrical gangster murderer excuse me Mr. officer murder still love you like that murderer.
Well that works surprisingly good, but on my phone it apparently doesn't add any punctuation.

Everstruggling i use blue paper and it helps! the white is too glary or something, idk
I haven't tried writing with it but reading with the different colored papers helps with not losing the line and stuff the words seem to move around less if you know what I mean
Everstruggling yeah, I use green tinted paper and it really helps. Just calms down the words and stops them from shaking.. nothing much. But the mark difference on exams before and after green is MASSIVEEEE
@Everstruggling I use a blue overlay on top of white paper and that helps a lot :)

I never hide my dyslexia. I had a group project a while back and i was the only person with a decent hanwriting. So i told them the second we started “you need to spell your names for me bc i can’t spell for the life of me” i never really had problems with reading except for the fact that i skip over alot of words and i can’t spell lmao
I just add random words into a sentence I am reading if I don’t understand it. I usually just make assumptions on what the words are instead instead of actually reading them. Otherwise i would read a page while everyone else would have read 4.

My problem solving stills are wonderful thanks to my dyslexia. I had to get creative and find new ways to learn is school. Wonderful video love hearing from others with dyslexia
I have a very sad story. In the early 60's no one knew what dyslexic was. So i was put in a group of kids that where very special needs, each year i got to go to the next grade level not because i earned it. They said it was the right thing to do. I didn't find out i was dyslexic until my girls were diagnosed with it. I still don't get the spelling but when kids where learning what to use like ( their or there - were or where) because i didn't get that part of grammar I'm never sure witch one to ues. But here is the good part when i got a job i ended up with a secretary that did all of my writing for me. I was making over $70,000 a year.
This makes no sense. How did you fix it? How do you even get bye writing if you dont know what you are writing or reading? Like it seems sorta baffling.

Most people don't know I can't spell because I'm dyslexic but now I type thur my phone if it's not a word I use often you may think I just missed spelled a word but really I don't or didn't know that I spelled it wrong. For some reason door open to me when other would work their butt off, it's been hard all my life but I can read most of what people are texting to say if I don't I'll ask someone to read it to me.
I’m dyslexic, I’m Mexican so I learnt two languages and I have two degrees 🙂 fortunately both my parents are educational psychologist so they taught me how to read and write with the Orton Gillingham method as well as several gestalt exercises so my dyslexia is a part of me but thnx to my parents it’s not really that prominent in my life. You can’t cure dyslexia but you can learn how to get better and beat it 😇
Yo huge Respect man 🤟🏻
I asked my parents for help in seventh grade because I was having trouble reading. They took me to the eye doctor and because he said my vision was 20/20. They dismissed me and said I just wanted glasses because my friends had glasses. So at the age of fifty I was finally diagnosed with dyslexia.
beat it? no it's forever with you 😅
@@gwens5093 I was at 50 too! And even then it was by accident. I quipped to my shrink that I finally learned to spell my brother's name. She was intrigued and asked what kind of long strange foreign name he had. It's Brian.
I disgree; you can't beat it, you learn how to work with it.
"I'm so sorry you have that disease" "my daughter used to have dyslexia, it's gone now" *rolls eyes* Shush up...
Anna Wolf 😂😂😂😂 yes cause you can "cure" dyslexia! It's not like it's a genetic difference...
wow that parent needs some education
Luna Martinz The person who said "my daughter used to have dyslexia" was my substitute teacher. He had a pony tail and wore a cheap Hawaiian shirt.
Anna Wolf no wonder why
That poor kid.. that parent needs to be educated
Taylor King Yup
“How do you read music if you’re dyslexic?” - someone every time I say I’m a music major 🤣
My classmate is dyslexic and I'm learning more so she doesn't feel left out
Does she have a coloured overlay that can help. Try not to correct her spelling it can get frustrating. If your studying a book and she's struggling audiobook can help theres a lot on UA-cam. A lot of us struggle reading out loud so if your alone with her read with her remind her of how well she's doing but not to much as it can make it feel like a child. Reading pens, schools may supply them they help on words that we can't work out. Coloured pens for notes. Books can help reading and can be enjoyable or if that's not her thing audiobooks .
Being dyslexic in the 80's and 90's was horrible. No one was as understanding of it as they are today. I never got extra time and was allways seen as an idiot. My entire life. The worst part was being treated as though it was simply something I could correct. That eventually I would be "normal" and if I wasn't then it was MY fault. I never felt more tortured then the day I was asked by my mother to use the last of her money (we were vary poor) to buy 4 dozen eggs and a gallon of milk. I returned home with 4 gallons of milk and a dozen of eggs. My father punished me and beat me for my mistake. I have allways felt more ignorant then everyone around me because I can not spell correctly (auto correct is amazing btw😅) but regardless I have grown into an amazing adult. While I may not have been lucky enough to go to college or get a good start in life because of my dyslexia, I have (thanks to technology and the internet) grown significantly intelligent. To the point were even my worst enamies now admit that I am smarter then them. I feel living my life regarded as "slow" or "lazy" by those who did not understand kept me from a lot of opportunities in life. I am happy to see that my misfortunes will not be effecting others with dyslexia in the future. While I may be working a vary below average job, at least I can now tell people I have dyslexia and not be ashamed. It is no longer seen as a "deficiency" and we are no longer treated like idiots. That is honestly more then a good enough reason to keep living my life.
Jason Allcreator so long I can’t read it
Your amazing and kept moving forward i went throw alot with my family but school was horrible for me but when i see alot of people older than me now that have the same it keeps me moving forward 😁
YES! exactly the way it was in school for me too!
:---: I don't have time for.this oof
Even though I'm from the early 90s this is exactly the exeloerience I also had and even though it was beggining to get recognised and taken seriously, the screening and tests were shit. I didn't get diagnosed til a year ago. I had a screening as a kid and it never got picked up. I got ridiculed by teachers and my parents thinking I was vbeing lazy or didn't give a shit or just pretending I couldn't do it. I got ridiculed by friends and peers laughing at me for not expressing my words properly or saying the right sentence and being called dumb for it or special or stupid. So yeah I can imagine circumstances were much worse bck then,but even now regardless of the recognition there are still people struggling.
I always feel bad when someone with dyslexia writes something and I can barely read it because their word order is messed up or something. I feel so guilty because I know it's not their fault
When ever I write a youtube comment, forum post, essay etc, I have to copy and paste it to google translate and use the text to speech feature to make sure it makes human sense lol
(Note: I had to do that with this comment too)
Roran that’s actually a brilliant idea, I might try that!😂
@@oliversmith5927
You're welcome :)
tigergirl305 thank you for understanding
I read my old papers from elementary and God damn I had some terrible writing
I know this was posted three years ago but this made feel so happy and conferrable.
I used to hate it when the teacher would pass out a three-page thing to read, give us a few minutes, and then want to discuss. She'd be like "Is there anyone who's not finished?" I'm still on page one at this point. If I speak up and say I'm not done, she wants to give me a couple extra minutes, and I'm still on page one. So, I just don't speak up.
Someone said once that I "don't look dyslexic". I genuinely didn't know how to respond 😅.
PS. I love using voice type. Only when I'm alone tho. It is so annoying when I can't spell a word and my autocorrect doesn't know what I am trying to say.
Everything the light touches is our kingdom "you don't look dyslexic" "yeah, and you certainly don't look ignorant"
The struggle is real
Everything the light touches is our kingdom YES I FEEL YOU
What? What does dyslexic even look like? lol
Everything the light touches is our kingdom it’s when autocorrect get it wrong and you don’t know !
Voice recognition and spell check are the only reason I can function in my day to day life.

Meow please watch a video called superbrain yoga and it is the one that is about 4 minutes 18 seconds long and it is a segment from a news clip.
Superbrain yoga husband healing people with ADHD and dyslexia and other neurological problems for a long time and you will get best results by doing superbrain yoga several times a day
@@gardensofthegods no thanks, I don't fancy wasting my time
It helped me a lot when I had severe memory loss that was so bad I actually could not remember how to reboot a computer and had to keep asking people because I would even forget where I wrote it down... to each his own I really don't care I just try to get the word out to those who are interested
MeowShoo I use the microphone on my phone all the time. It’s much quicker and well
Without voice recognition nobody would understand me
I have a speech impediment and dyexlia it really sucks
Have you read Persy Jackson and the Olympians?
I guess if it's an appropriate question
iop erty I’ve only seen the movies, but I get it. 😂
Percy and yes I've read the books
YES was it just me or the seen is Sea of Monsters were Annabeth tried to spell cyclopes resinated.
@@letterborneVods read the books! The movies are so terrible compared to the books
@@helplessnarwhal3722 I was going to angrily come at you saying that I hate the movies and that it’s one of my favourite book series, but then I read my comment and realized I haven’t read them yet back then 😅 I fully agree with you. The movies can only be considered good if they weren’t based on a book series, buuut ...
By the way, Dominic Noble actually has a really good (and funny!) review of the movie adaptation here on UA-cam!
(Edit: spelling)
I love this video so much I have dyslexia myself and I constantly hear these comments and means the world to me that you guys made it through until the time out your day to make someone like with dyslexia feel special and less alone
I have dyslexia and I have never had extra time in exams
My teachers refuse because they say I'm "just not trying hard enough" when in reality I actually just can't figure out what the **** is written on the paper. My mom and close friends also think I have ADHD.
Theres different levels of dyslexia.
Same My teacher did not understand by mantel problem I explained it to her
I'm dyslexic. English is my favorite subject. I love reading, free writing, poetry, etc. My vocabulary and literature understanding is at college level (I'm a sophmore). It is possible to overcome it. It's hard as heck, but possible.
Also if you ever freaking tell me to read out loud I swear ;^;
It sure is! I am a reading teacher now and in grad school! I always tell my students that you can do anything if you really want to!
I can not read it loud it just doesn't work but I'm not dyslexic
Me too! Foreign Lang. has been insanely difficult though, it’s like having to learn how to read, write, spell all over again. I’m thinking of switching to an online class for it because my current French teacher is just too fast paced.
I love reading, writing and poetry too. I read everyday but I did not overcome my dyslexia... I learned how to live with it; dyslexia it's how my brain works it's part of who I am and how I learn, sometimes it's difficult because reading and writing isn't easy for me EVER but that's what makes it more interesting and it drives me to improve myself on it to the point that reading and writing is something I do everyday for hours.
P.s. I didn't double check what I wrote but I did put a lot of thought on what I was typing, I believe that is its a good enough text
I'm not dyslexic and I struggle immensely with reading out loud. I guess my mind goes faster than my mouth can and it struggles to keep up. Thus, everything comes out at supersonic speed and sometimes jumbled like I tossed the words into a blender and hit puree. I just speak so fast people have to tell me to slow the eff down so they can follow what I'm saying. I often have to repeat myself at least twice and speak at a pace that feels unnaturally slow to me to be understood.
my teacher was once like it’s ok i’m a bit dyslexic sometimes and i just stared at her like hahaha wtf
“Spellchecks my best friend”
_.literally the next line_
“Spellcheck is useless”
That guy with the fedora and mustache is dapper as FUCKk!!!
Fuck ikr,
Yes, very dapper. I was just thinking 'Wow, that moustache is epic'
“I’m a bit dyslexic too, u shouldn’t get to use a laptop for exams it’s just not fair” says my super academic friend who never has dyslexia problems- NO U ARE NOT I WOULD SWAP IT IN A HEARTBEAT U LITTLE B**** 😂😂😂 - rant over
EDAM presents omg same, everyone found it 'unfair' how I completed my exams on the computer but guess what some I didn't even get to fully finish even though I had a computer
Lol same. What even is words and grammer? Gramier? Grammar?
The man with a hat and long hair is so hot : I love his style

Please do things not to say to people with anxiety or depression
Depression
"Just try being happy for once."
Anxiety
"Just stop being worried"
( I suffer from both btw )
Mhm yes thank you yes that definitely helped me thank you for your input
These are the ones that really irritates me and I get it all the time "you feel too sorry for yourself". "You need to get out a bit more ". "I've been depressed before as well but I just got over it ". "Do something that will get it off your mind -go out and party or something ". "It's all in your head". "Your over thinking it ,just leave it ".
"You have to think more possitively". "Your too young to be depressed ". "Everyone has issues ,everyone's been bullied at school you need to get over it ". I get at least 1 of these all the time and usually it's come from friends as well , it irritates me so much 😂😂 it's like if you think that depression is just feeling sad for no reason then you need to do your research before challenging someone who has it and has to deal.with it on a daily basis . Just because it's not a visible condition doesn't mean that it's not serious or that people are being dramatic.
Things not to do to people with dyslexia : make them read out little pieces of paper about what people ask them...
GFXBottlecap dude, i dont think you know how dyslexia works.
I was wondering how they can read the paper
GFXBottlecap you realize you are literally the exact type of person they're trying to change with this? They literally say multiple times all over that they read and write. Huh wow, watching the video, really makes you think... 🤔
Omg we CAN in fact read.
i take my time, read it in my head first. then bam it comes out straight! its not impossible just takes time!
aughh the thing that hurts is when they say
“your just using Dyslexia as an excuse of your mistakes.”
I'm from the age group that was not diagnosed and I know I could have gone to univerctiy and have done great things with my life. I'm writing this crying as I suffered as a child in the school. I knew there was something wrong but didn't know what it was??!! I think I'm one of the best actress I've ever known as I learned how to hide my Dyslexia!! I am such an intelligent woman and it's sad that I never got my break in life!!
I'm so happy that things have changed and to hear these wonderful people have achived so much!!
Love and go
I can totally relate to everything in this video!
That crazy girl Nunu Nunu ☺☺😊😄

I’m dyslexic and this is so relatable AHHHHHH
Sameeee
I am SUPER thankful that people know what i am experiencing through reading. Even though this was made 3 years ago. Thx
As a Dyslexic highschooler this was really inspiring to watch... they seem like genuinely unique and successful people which is something i never saw myself becoming because I have so much trouble in what seems like really basic things
Being dyslexic this is very relatable
Blogel Night Its a learning disorder where you have a hard time interpreting words and letters, therefore it’s pretty difficult to read write sometimes.
m a y o n n a i s e i didnt know either. Thanks!

Adela King no I'm not offended. I just think it's kinda stupid. But if it helped you then I'm glad.
I'm dyslexic and I had to pause every single time the questions popped on screen
OMG I'm actually crying (not tears of joy) watching this. This has been my life for 33 year.
I have dyslexic, even at 4 I always knew I was different from other kids. Today I have my bachelors degree in Marketing and I’m trying to get an art certification from community college
I have Dyslexia and it's still a pain to read but i love reading my manga 😂😂😂
I didn't know Guy Fawkes was dyslexic
restless rogue lol ikr 😆

More like Johny Depp
When I was in 7th grade, I once wrote a whole report about the loins of Africa and how the loins would roam the great plains in packs. Spellcheck never corrected me. I'm so thankful that my parents proof read the paper before I turned it in. I have several other amusing tales.
Dyslexia is still a struggle to live with sometimes (especially with spelling) but get some help and know your weaknesses and strengths and use it to your advantage. Your brain works differently than other peoples' do and it has some advantages and disadvantages. Learn to live with and use it well. It's not just a terrible burden, it is also a gift. I have dyslexia but because I had help from a young age and was surrounded by supportive people, I am now in vet school (reading all the textbooks is very slow and sucks a lot, and remembering all the Latin and biochemical pathways is terrible) and because of my dyslexia I can think about problems in a different way than other people and how to solve them. And because I do not exactly think in letters and words, I can understand animals a bit better because they also dont think that way.
Here is a website that helps you remember that it is not all bad and you can use dyslexia to your advantage:
www.dyslexicadvantage.org/
One thing that seriously pisses me off is when parents refuse to have their obviously dyslexic child tested because they don't want them to be "labeled". This is stupid because you can get help and it doesnt matter if you are labled or not if you still have it anyway. Don't turn down help and be aware of what you or your child can acomplish and overcome. We can do it!
"You'll grow out of it."
Really?! When?!
I have dyslexia and I'm southern so the mix of How I talk and how I write people think I'm stupid I'm really not
MontanasaurusRex !!
I was raised in Alabama, so when I moved west to everyone thought I was stupid because I can't read, write, or speak quickly. (I didn't have much of an accent, but everyone speaks faster outside of the south).
Not to mention shows like duck dynasty and swamp hunter(?) make the stereotype ever worse.
I feel you...
YES! My family pronounces words in a strange way and if I tried to spell things the way I heard them, I looked so stupid. Pecan was pronounced with a B sound and I would write "Bacon" and it was so embarrassing.
People generally make out that the Southerners are stupid in the first place. I actually like their accents though.
That’s how my dyslexia is, I can read perfectly fine. But I struggle to write it down or speak and read out loud.
I worked in a grocery store and I can’t tell you how many times I read the cents before the dollars. People were shocked when I would say $95.10 instead of $10.95 😂
Oh hey this was posted on my birthday how nice😊
Btw shout out to everyone with dyslexia, you guys are awesome and keep being you👌
I’m dyslexic it’s very hard
Anna Martin thxs I have it
it's very hard at tests
Happy belated birthday!
Thank you!
Thank you for this
I find this quite comforting, I’m serverly dyslexic 😅 all of these are so relatable And are so true
I wish I had more dyslexic friends like myself because most people don’t understand me.
Life by Sophie hi same here no 1 cuddunt understand me either. I got diagnosed as server dyslexic last year. At 36 My mind works so fast. So Whot I think isn't the same to what I say so I think correctly but say rong so I get alot you don't understand. And I find it hard to explain things. I do see physics a 3d image put it in motion. At age 8 I was thinking about time travel at 10 I was thinking about space population engine's and constantly thinking all through the years cuddunt reed till 16 trot myself. So up till my diagnosis I was dum.
suzuki tlr it must of been really hard to go all your life and not know what was wrong. You’re doing amazing and honestly the best thing I can say is work at your own pace and do things how you know how to do them.
suzuki tlr Hmm that must of sucked going so long without knowing that
ErikTylerTv hi yer it was. My parents just thought I was stupid all my school teacher thought the same. No education. Eney thing I did right I was made to think it was rong and made to feel guilty because I sore it different billed all my life because I lack calerbury in word's. At the age of 7 I was interest in black holes and all physics but because I cud not translated in to word's Whot I understood you don't no it. So now as I see physics in 3D. I've self educated in lodes of topics.but how the world works is like a splinter in my mind. It's all backwards.
Every third person is dyslexic. Most are undiagnosed. Some have mild dyslexia, some have more severe. I found out i am dyslexic as a young adult. I had difficulties studying at school. My classmates knew i wasn't mentally impaired coz they knew how often i had an open book in front of me, which was never. Living in dorms everyone knows who is studying hard and who isn't. In my exams i got decent grades, average. To my classmates, it simply made no sense. But my teachers were all convinced that i was mentally challenged and that i was stupid until one of my classmates spilled the beans to our class teacher about my study habits. After that the teachers told me i should spend more time studying to get better grades, they made me sit in front an open book after dinner before sleep, but i was miserable, coz half of the sentences i read, made no sense, coz i was reading wrong. It was a waste of time, it didn't help. It only made me miserable and sleep deprived. The only thing that helped, was studying in groups. My classmates would read aloud, we would discuss the subjects, explain to each other and quiz each other. I could learn by listening and i could avoid the torture of reading.
I'm dyslexic and when I was younger like 5, 6, 7 and ,8 I would throw a fit if I had to read and my parents would have to force me but as I got older it was the total opposite and my parents would have to force me to stop reading. Books/reading are my favourite things but still I constantly read the same line over and over again. And some people just assume that if you have dyslexia you don't like to read which is totally not true! Also I found this video so relatable and true.

I wish to share what it means to be dyslexic....the real insight of the one suffering from all the humiliations because of his flaws. The pain and suffering that come along when there's no one to understand you and really be there for you when you need them the most. I wrote a novel based on my life experiences and turned it into a blog. Please Read it...and if you like it please comment to help me progress these Novel of mine...and If you find it of worth then do Share and help awareness grow.
