We were at Skolemøtet for Rogaland here in Stavanger, Norway, with a stand to inform people about Dyslexia at DysJæren; we encouraged the visitors, many of which are teachers, to show the film in their class, as it's hard to express these feelings with words, andthe film shares in a great way how you can feel at times. Thanks MJ!

I'm also very creative! I think it has to do with how when we are not the right way we have difficulty using the left side of our brain, which deals with more academic kinds of things, so we rely more on the right side. The more creative side.

Im dyslexic. My teachers didn't know I was it until I was 10! I didn't learn to read very well and I was told several times I was stupid or lazy. I was the worst in math and didn't know how to read very well... But one day I got the help I needed and now I am a 32 y/o Engineer, learnt 3 different languages and got the best notes in my career. You are not stupid, you're not alone and you're not lazy!

What kind of help did you get?

I only found out I was dyslexic a few months ago. I finished high school without any compensatory tools and I got the lowest grade in high school. The video impressed me a lot, especially the part about climbing the mountain because, after high school, I took the negative judgement of the teachers personally and enrolled in engineering university both out of passion and to prove them wrong. It took me two years longer to finish my bachelor's degree than I had planned, but without any compensatory tools. I won't even tell you about the insults I received and the number of exams I failed and had to retake. On the other hand, I am now following my true passion by enrolling in a master's degree course in Space Engineering, while being followed by a tutor for dyslexics and being helped. Intelligence and talent do not count too much because they are innate abilities. It is will and determination that deserve praise as they are chosen virtues. I end this speech thanking you for this video and encouraging the internet to make many more animations with these themes because they are very important, just to give an example, in my moments of discouragement figures like Rock Lee and Maito Gai from the Naruto Anime have been much more useful than some professors.

I'm dyslexic. I didn't get my official diagnosis until I was 26. Before that, I failed countless University classes and graduated in five years instead of four. In my masters program, so many professors echoed my University professors, that I was too stupid and I couldn't make it. I graduated, but I don't work in the science field like I had planned. It was all too much. Thanks for making this. Maybe one day, I can heal too.

I know at least 4 others who have dyslexia. But they just repeated it -_-' Its insane! Sad to hear that you lost your passion for it :O hope you are doing well :) Absolutely possible to heal form it, I will make more videoes about it :) Keep shining your light and remember you are not alone

i can't explan how great it feels to here so many stories of people with dislexia. I was diagnosed with dislexia and adhd when I was 10, but my scool was terrible with acomadations (especially past middle school) I was never explaned what that meant and I believd what people said about me being lazy and stupid. I think sports were the only thing that kept me sane. it helped me get my anger out and high speed environments like wrestling really helped me focus on things I loved. band and orkestra probabely saved my life. instead of focusinc on reading the music and using note names, I was able to learn to read with how the notes FELT on the insurtment, and being able to do really good in music (4× all state:)) was so relieving. now im studying in insturment repair, jazz, and classical performance. anyways it's so amazing that people are finaly sperading info about nerodivergencies is so validateng and I wish I could have had that in school.

Thank you for this. I will show it to my son. He's got Asperger's. He's been branded lazy for most of his school years. Tomorrow he starts school, the last class of elementary. He is scared, hates it and doesn't want to go through with it anymore. Every little bit helps. He refuses to read anything, even books at home. He struggles with words, I help correct him sometimes when he can't seem to make it on his own, and I read to him. But I'd love for him to be able to read well, without dysphoria, and enjoy that wonderful world of books. It just breaks my heart to see him suffer like this. But we have found our way through video games, movies, series and the internet. He's learning to read in video games and in subtitles, and he's slowly getting better. Anyway, I'm sorry for the long comment. Thank you again. It actually made me cry.

ok good idea, but asperger are not necessary dyslexic

We first have to address the "dys" in the dysfunctional educational system. Then we can start realizing what "dyslexia" REALLY is!

Nobody is alone anywhere. If only everyone realizes the problems faced by the others and shows a little kindness, world will become a much better place to live in.

Dyslexia is something that makes us unique. It is something that needs to be acknowledged as a gift, that god has give us as a way of seeing the world differently in our own creative and intuitive eyes.💕

I'm dyslexic... My mom was to, but she never got therapy. She worked and worked to do good in school. Now from just working through it, she has over come it! And can read and write easily. And well, me? I'm the older sister in the family by a year and a half. My sister did the same school I did... She was ahead of her grade. As for me I worked to times as hard to stay with my grade... I have been home schooled for my hole life so far. I wasnt tested about being dyslexic... Well until 5th grade my mom took my to a therapist to see if I had dyslexia like her... I did but in different ways... That's why she didn't take my in sooner... Well this video was very, very inspiring. Please keep making content like this.

Merci pour ce magnifique court métrage. Je suis moi aussi dyslexique mais aussi dysorthographique et dyscalculie. J'ai énormément souffert de ma scolarité. Trop souvent on nous décourage alors qu'on en fait 10 fois plus que d'autres pour y arriver. C'est une très belle vidéo et j'aurai adoré la voir quand j’étais plus jeune. Récemment je me suis mise à écrire moi aussi pour me libérer du poids que mes soucis de Dys me font endurer et aussi pour que, peut-être, un jour (si je le termine et qu'il est publié) il donne du courage à d'autres Dys. Merci :)

oh man. that was beautiful. I cried since first seconds of animation I'm dyslextic too and maybe it's really hard but we can do everything. we are just normal ppl with dyslexia We aren't worst from another. We are who we are, and we should proud of this #we_are_not_alone

I have no words; I am tearing up for how amazing that was; the scene in the classroom looking at the blackboard hit me hard from when I was in school, I was always told I wasn't good enough to go to college, but I proved them wrong.

While growing up in Greece learning disabilities for teachers were made up conditions and excuses for laziness. I would often lose focus which made Literature/reading/writing etc, difficult to follow. My teachers would often tell my mom that I will not do much with my life for failing subjects such as "Ancient Greek". I remember how much that would hurt her and how upset it would make me at the same time. Funny enough and luckily for me.....It turns out you can have a successful career without reading or writing in "Ancient Greek". Despite my dyslexia I hold 3 degrees in Engineering including a PhD (which my mom brings up on every random meet up she has with my old teachers) and I work for global institutions in the financial center of Europe. As the film says its not the same for everyone but a very powerful animation nevertheless.

¡¡¡Que verdadero !!! ¡¡¡Que genial !!! ¡¡¡Que maravilloso !!!! ¡¡¡Felicidades!!!

My congratulations towards all the people who worked on the project. Today I got sended this animation through a site and learn the authors putted it on KZread. Right away I searched to find the video and give my congratulations here where the authors can see it. Being dysphasiac I live through the same struggle as everybody with learning troubles. It is true that sometimes we feel alone and put aside. All of that for something we might of never wished to have. So I tried to hide it to be in the "normality" and my grades went with it. Seeing that I can't do otherwise than take the adaptation mesures to help me I got back the feeling of rejection. By the exams I do I need to go in a place away in the school in a silent room with people that all has trouble. How to feel more different than everyone. All of this to say, your story shows exactly what one can go through and it feels good to know we aren't alone in this world who feels that way. Thank you for the emotions I got to feel with this movie. Thank you for this animation. Thank you à thousand times.

This is exactly how I felt in school. The line about screaming that I am not stupid was me in my head the entire time for years. I even got the governor's award for effort to prove it. I stopped the screaming finally in the last few years and realised that I am smarter than I realised. Thank you for making this video and showing why I have struggled. It's so hard to explain when I struggle with words. I appreciate it even with crying. I feel seen. 🙂

Hey, who's cutting onions in my room? I'm really crying Q33333Q Øgaard and Wyman, your project is great! I love the simple lines and colours, I think that they make your story even more heart-touching Q3333333Q The boy and the girl look just like children, but they are real heroes! I like how the boy made a weapon from his pencil. I think it was a brilliant idea to make words and letters move and dance in the beginning, because it helps to understand one simple thing: Reading is not always easy. I have reading books since I was four and I always have had a passion for reading. So I could never understand how it is possible - not be able to read fluently and easy. Until I saw your film! So thank you very much, you managed to make me to see the world by the eyes of two dyslexic children. I also love the ending, the very ending about the experience. It's always different, because people a different. Thank you one more time!

This film is inspired of myself because I’m autism and I believe Identity myself as dyslexic because my teacher never notice when I was a childhood until they reliezed the truth in college.when I was in childhood school, I get bunch of help with these homework by asking my parents or my family because I don’t know how to answer these questions independently only for burden. In middle school when I tried to comprehend the story from a basic English class, I had problems writing a paragraph understand the story. Only because my reading comprehension is low and I’m definitely a slow reader. Unlike people with learning disability, they would found out that English is conceptual due to ableism. One thing, I found out that I wasn’t good at paying attention to people and didn’t understand what they trying to say because of not explaining his context and using a term without knowing the meaning of it. As I’m doing now, I’m making a book, google search for the term they using on technology, attending English, and communication class to fight off my disability including my autism and dyslexia to improve myself to be a smart influence and strong person yet I can be gifted and dedicated with people who are neurodivergent.

❤️ the life of an dyslexic! It is so important to remember your not alone! Still as an adult I still can feel some of the struggles, insecurities and challenges that dyslexia give me! But I still can’t imagine not being dyslexic ❤️ it gave me so much, thought me to work hard, be determined to my dreams and goals and to think different 🏵👩🏼‍🎓👩🏼‍🏫 now I’m working for kids that struggles with different things in school! ❤️

Preforming under pressure is difficult especially when we have to do it within someone else’s time😌 Also it is a skill in it self and important that you don’t beat yourself for these mistakes, ask yourself instead what can I do to make myself better in this situation? What is it that makes me not able to preform as well under these tests? And you know that you know more than you can show, so that means that the grade you receive isn’t the level you are at, instead of focusing on the grade focus on what you have learned and the value of that knowledge. Grades will not be with you for the rest of your life😌 and trust me your mental and physical well-being is more important than any grade😉

i am dyslexic, and no one knew until year three, so I had to go through four years of crying as I tried to read something out loud to the class (I also have a stutter), holding back tears as I was yelled at because i couldn't spell, being called stupid, classmates laughing at me because I couldn't read out loud without stuttering to the point of running out of the room. I was always being yelled at by teachers. I hated asking people for spelling because they would always make fun of me. I hated myself, and I thought they were right, I was stupid, but in year three I had a dyslexic test and so my dad helped me learn to read and tried to help me with other problems, (thank you dad, I love you). I still can't spell very well, still can't read very well either, but the thing is, I 12 now, and one of my favourite things to do is write, and perform in front of an audience. so if anyone else has dyslexia then don't listen to people who call you stupid. dyslexic people are said to be much better at other things than people without dyslexia, so their just jealous. and if you think reading is impossible, well nothing is impossible if you just keep trying, don't be scared to ask for help :)

This is amazing and hurts like hell. (Apologies for the essay below, this kicked up a lot of stuff for me and I needed to write it somewhere and get it out of my system) I faced school unknowing of the fact I was dyslexic, alone in my struggle. Things kept getting slowly more difficult so I kept pushing myself but I was coping, so surely I was like everyone else. But it built so slowly, I barely noticed, pushing myself harder and harder, this was fine, just keep coping. By the time things started to get really challenging when I hit exams, there was no time for emotions, just keep coping, stopping meant being left behind so I wouldn't catch back up again, if I missed something it was gone and I knew I couldn't afford to miss anything. Unknowingly I pushed every emotion down, no time to process them, always onto the next thing, must keep up, must adapt, must work harder, never good enough, always have to be more, do more, just cope. But it happened so slowly at first, my body adapted, my mind adapted, held it all, coped with anything that was thrown at it. Literally no one noticed I was dyslexic until generalised testing by my art university (a magnet for dyslexic students who have turned towards art). But so many people tested were dyslexic that I didn't receive any support until 2nd year (I wasn't as dyslexic as other students were so they were rightly helped first, I was at the back of the queue). I hadn't done well enough in my first year to be allowed into second year without doing additional work over the summer to prove I had a place on the course. I did what I needed to do to continue but by that time too much additional damage had been done. My mental health had fallen apart, I couldn't look in the mirror without crying because it felt like the person I was used to seeing in the mirror had died, and the person replacing them was someone I didnt know, yes they looked exactly the same, disturbingly so, but they weren't that person, not anymore. Having graduated in 2013 I'm still terrified of being different, still strive for a perfection that I can't meet, am still not good enough in my own eyes, good enough in unattainable. I look at job listings and question if they are lying about how much admin the role truly requires. I cant fill in my cv without feeling like someone is going to notice im dyslexic, like im leading with the wrong foot. Or maybe they won't notice and then they will find out when I'm in a job and think I've lied to them. When I'm struggling in work, I need help but don't know how to ask, I fall back into coping mode, just keep pushing, no time for emotion just figure it out on my own, there is no other option. But coping and pushing forward regardless of emotions or difficulties takes its toll. Its literally put so much strain on my mind that my mind has started kicking back with physical responses, literal muscle spasms. Seemingly the only way my subconscious has left to communicate with me. If you had asked me in school how I was doing, at the time I wasn't even aware I was any different, wasn't aware of the amount of energy each day took, I was just going through each day trying my best, learning stuff and getting on with it, being organised and conscientious, being a good student. If only I had known... if only someone had noticed...

Rae Winchester thank you so much for your time and comment🙏😁😊

I cried so much watching this. My daughters teacher said she thinks she may have dyslexia the other day. I have wondered for a while now. When I asked what they would do to support her with it, they just shrugged and said they'd try and remind her which way her letters need to be. That's not okay. I won't allow her to go without help and support. She isn't alone.

i just want to say as a dislexic that was found when i was 17! Dislexia it's not a excuse to dont try or study in your life. dont try to hide behind a learning problem but find your ways of dealing with it with confidence and with teachers that they understand you and want to help you. I never would have guest i was dislexic if it wasnt for a young random teacher that came in my class for one time in her carrear just to fill one hour of writing. Wish you all dislexics out there good luck! dont give up! and dont loose your self on something that others want!!!!

magnifique....

this is a fantastic video.Fantastic!!!!! It really gets to the point of the problem. It gets into the mind and the soul of a dislexic person and let everyone see and understand whats happening there. It brought tears to my eyes as i know very well what means to fight everyday to prove that you are NOT STUPID

That hit home really hard.

I'm dyslexic but thankfully since its genetic they knew and I got the help I needed!

Damm! This animation was powerful and moving. Very nice. :)

Thank you! We worked hard to make it powerfull! So glad u noticed! :D

Merci, cela pourra peut-être expliquer aux gens se que l'ont ressent et surtout que l'ont est pas seul. Je suis dyslexique et dyspraxique rien que ces mots sont difficiles à lire, à écrire et pour tous ceux qui ne le sont pas à comprendre. Je tiens à remercier Ma maitresse de cour préparatoire madame Pons à l'école des primevert à Sarrebourg de m'avoir tendu la main et ouvert son cœur, de m'avoir permise d’apprendre à parler,à lire, à écrire à l'age de six ans. Et je remercie Mme Duchateau orthophoniste à Épinal de m'aider encore aujourd’hui.

Can you imagine? My boy has probably ADHD and my girl probably Dyslexia. But both doing great in school. With great I mean, they learn and love to go to school. They attend a Montessori school. And so their problems are no problems. No tests, no interruption in hyper focus, mainly interest driven learning by the student.

Yes montesorri is amazing 🤩 I’ve seen how it changed my brother😊 it needs to be the future of education ✨

This was a pretty good representation of having dyslexia. My only comment would be that it's not quite the same for everyone with it, I have Dyslexia and dyscalculia but it's not that the words shift and change, it's more like I see a word in one line, then look at the next, and my brain automatically links them. I do understand what you're showing though, And it made me truly happy another artist understands what exactly I've been struggling with my entire life. When I was in preschool, I wrote upside-down and backwards because the letters didn't make much sense to me... But the way I fixed it, I kept reading. I read until I fell in love with reading, even if I still mix things up, I keep going, and I read at a much higher level now. Of course, reading out loud is always going to be difficult, for my mistakes are heard by others causing me to get embarrassed and blah blah, you know the story. One thing I'll probably always struggle with, is spelling. I hate having to ask all the time if I spelt this or that correctly, but that's okay, at least I put an effort and learn from my mistakes. (Sorry for any typos btw!) I'm very happy that I'm not alone, It might seem minor, but having Dyslexia really sucks regardless. Thank You :)

Thank you for your comment! :D It is true, it is different for everyone, this is only one story of many, our aim was to make a film that can be used to show the many emotions that an individual with not only dyslexia can have but other learning differences as well too those who do not understand what this is. that is why in the end we say that it is different for everyone :) Yeah I have it like that when I read as well xD I also see shapes and figurines in the text I read, seems like my brain rather want to see chickens and butterflies on the pages rather than focusing on the words xD I am so glad u kept reading and now love it! Dont listen to what other says and do what you love in yur own way! :D No worries about the typos here we all here do it ;) and honestly, I cant see your mistakes anyway hehe :D I also have both dyslexia and dyscalculia, for me, however, dyscalculia is dfentliy more difficult than dyslexia, I feel like I have mastered dyslexia pretty well xD Again thank you so much for commenting and sharing your story here, it means a lot to me :) and yes you are not alone, so if anything just ask :)

I just found out that I have Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, anxiety and scotopic. Coming to terms with it has been very overwhelming to deal with. I'm been so emotional about it over the last couple of days. I feel so alone and upset. But coming over to KZread watching videos that talk about dyslexia, especially this video. It made me realise that although I wish I didn't have it and all those other things. There is something beautiful about it and how it is different. I know you'll probably never see this, but thank you for making this. I feel like I'm actually apart of something and I have some kind of support. Thank You

Hi Rebecca Johns 😁 thank you for the comment! 😊 hehe ofc I read the my comments 😉 Yes it is a journey for sure on many levels, it can be very overwhelming and at times painful, but remember you are not your diagnosis, you can define and shape them the way you desire so they make sense to you 😉 bc as you said your self there is beauty in it, for me I found what my strengths and gifts was trough exploring my diagnosis. Focus on the things you can do since society are very good at telling us what we can’t, don’t let that stop you 😉 you are not alone! Welcome to the community 🥰 And again thank you 😉✨

Un seul mot : M A G N I F I Q U E ! c'est tellement ça !!! parent d'un enfant dyslexique, dysorthographique et dysgraphique de 14 ans, c'est un combat permanent contre un système éducatif inapproprié, intolérant, incompréhensif, rabaissant l'enfant, l'humiliant devant toute la classe, qui enlève des points aux évaluations parce que la copie est mal présentée, mal écrite, et bourrée de fautes ... Malgré la mise en place d'un PAP qu'aucun prof ne respecte. C'est une bataille contre du vent, contre un mur ... Des larmes, une énergie folle, de l'injustice, de la colère ... Merci pour ce court métrage magnifique qui fait qu'on se sent moins seul dans ce combat. J'ai pleuré en le regardant tellement il est poignant et criant de vérité

I am a Dyslexic person I'm in my college and still struggling with the pronunciation of simple and unfamiliar words. But I stand and fight for my diploma although it's very tough and most of the time I was embarrassed by my mistakes and importantly learn from them and I still look at the bright side... to make my parents proud. Look at the brightest side we're creative and unique people who see things in different ways.it just happened that sometimes we are at the wrong place.

I'm dyslexic And this was me in school.. I needed help and no one was their was a little scary I felt alone and by my self most of the time deep down. & I was bullied. Sometimes school be more harmful then good. Sad thing is I have learnt new ways to handle alot of things around me .even difficult situations. I am 30 , I have ran away from the fact I have this instead of facing it

I am dyslexic and I wanted to make my graduation film about dyslexia because I had never seen a film about it but you said it all... BRAVO

I have dyslexia and so too does my son of 11, l have mixed feelings about how it is treated to but still so hard to get help. I have used my skills well over the years as a designer but have had many dark patches. My son just thinks he stupid and makes me feel so sad as he is not able to understand l have travelled this path. He also so may have other problems, he is a very good boy at school and plays up at home to deal with how he feels. Love this animation.
