    As a dyslexic. Anything that's without grammar is the best thing in the world.

    My story. I was always good with numbers, but I couldn’t read or spell. I managed to hide it for a few years. The lad at sat next to could read & write, but he wasn’t good with numbers. So we was top of the class. Then they split us up. I was drop into the bottom class. Then I moved up to secondary school. I was put in the special class, however I was really good at maths, so they moved me into the main school. I was coming top in maths, doing well in science, but really struggling with the English class. There was only one teacher who ever took time with me. He knew I understood the subject, but he couldn’t read my exam paper. So he read out the questions, I told him the answers, then he wrote it down. That was the early 70s. I mainly work in the coal mine. But I did get a job there where I had to write reports. Doctors hand writing can best explain it. I did a dyslexic test when I was 40 - 50. I’m now 64, and have just started open uni. I have got the software to help me, but it going to be difficult as I’m doing science. I really hope the kids of today get the right help

    My parents knew I was born with jaundice and told that I would have problems. Saddest thing wasn’t learning about it. It was being ashamed and shame by everyone. My parent were in denial. I didn’t learn about it until after I was an adult. I knew something was wrong. I blanked out a lot in school. I was more described or labeled like a problem child. I dropped out of college because I couldn’t get motivated . As a child they have programs. Getting older, I didn’t know to ask. I only knew it as I needed help because I was stupid. That’s how I saw it. I wasn’t told. My parents wouldn’t talk about it or spend time with me. The rage I carried for years from the taunts and no support in middle and high school . So I just tried to survive to graduate. So if I got something. I found out when I was 33, living in Japan with a son. One day my mom blurted out. She forgot about my brother but, knew I had it. It floored me.

    I was diagnosed with dyslexic in 84 graduating 85 now I think I should have went to college because it wasn't that I was stupid. It was just the way I process information to file it into memory. I might not be able to read as fast but I get there at my own speed in my own time. I am the Y girl. How I learn is I figure out why and purpose said issue. I usually can file it in my brain for long-term if I understand the whole story and the purpose I remember.

    What if I find it hard to sometimes understand the sentence when I read it ? I find it hard to put words in the right order when I right it . I have to read what I wrote down many times & sometimes I can tell it doesn’t make sense .

    Twitter may be wrong... if by project you mean the British Dyslexia Association, they appear to be going strong-check out www.bdadyslexia.org.uk/. (The other website cited in the video was www.dyslex.io, but that gives an error message. I also tried www.dyslexia.io, but that just took me to a site offering to sell that domain for $499 and I wasn't feeling rich at the moment 😁.)

    When Anakin talks about the “words moving,” they should look into Irlen Syndrome to see if that could also be playing into why the words are moving.

    How is dyslexia a "superpower"? I find myself always not able to remember to spell the simplest words. It is very very frustrating. If it weren't for instant spell check, I wouldn't be able to write this comment without misspelling at the least five or six words!! I don't find it super at all. For example, the words; "misspelled" I could not remember if it had one or two "s's." The word "super" does it have one or two "P's"? The word "dyslexia" I can remember that it has a "d" a "y" somewhere, and a "l" and a "x" but does the "x" come after the "d" or in the middle? Those are my thoughts that I have everytime I come across that stupid word. I even hesitated spelling "across" thinking; 'does it have one or two c's?' curse this disability!!! Thank God for instant spell check or it would have impossible to remember or more like stubble on spelling "hesitate" correctly. does it have a "I" or "e" after the "h". Without a spell checker I would have put a dam "e" after the dam "h." No it's not a super power, it's a super stumbler. It's a super curse, a punishment. So tell me what's super about it! It's just happy talk.

    Annie Khwaja I find mind maps really helpful, with pictures and to colour code text with highlighters. There are different ways in which we learn; visually, through hearing, movement and I think also smell. This is known as multi sensory learning. You need to make what you’re learning as multi sensory as possible. There is a KZread video called Don’t call me stupid. It has the actress Cara Tointon who has dyslexia. It shows how she learnt her lines before and then taking a multi sensory approach. I have dyslexia and have a degree and Masters. It can be done. You can also ring the dyslexia association and they can give you tips.

    one mainstream explanation of dyslexia is that a person with the condition uses less of the left hand side of their brain and more of the right than is 'normal'. individuals we tend to regard as enlightened - people such as the Buddha and Jesus - didn’t possess brains with some special, enlightenment-prone quality; rather, they simply tapped into the right hemisphere’s natural abilities. Drawing on the field of neuroscience, everyone can discipline their brain to follow their lead, thus achieving greater happiness and inner peace.🙏

    Dyslexic are using left brain as others differently. It more like front and back brain.
