    Take an interest in non structer learning like artistic things. Or creative wrighting.

Dyslexics just dont learn in such a square rigid structured way. This comming from a 27 yo dyslexic who was diagnosed in 5th grade.

    DolanTwins E and Gray I was tested in primary school in 4th class so when I was about 9, we did the spelling test only. It was words I HAD struggled with for ages when trying to learn them but then we did them. It was only words like cat or mat or hat. I didnt have it according to that test, there was a girl who did it at the same time she perpoisely flailed the test. According to the Deslexia.org - the most official site I could find I do have it, I asked at the start of last year could I got tested beacuse I'm in a different school and he still hasn't done so, I swear I have dyslexia, even my friend who has dyslexia thinks I have it.

    I really want that bc I'm trying to figure out if I'm really dyslexic. Ppl said they think I'm on the spectrum but it's hard to tell for me, I relate more to the dyslexia stuff like big time but also have a lot of panic attacks and anxiety and trouble talking with ppl but it's different problems with communicating than with what I read about autism. I can't understand ppl when other noise is happening around me but it's not quite the same as not being able to block out the sound, I can't filter out the other sounds well to get what someone is saying which is an issue associated with dyslexia. I have a phobia of talking through devices bc I can't understand ppl without looking at them unless I've heard them a lot b4 and I misunderstand the meanings of what ppl say or take things too literally which are present in both conditions but I think for autism it's more not being able to understand how something is meant whereas I have trouble associating the words and phrases with the proper meaning, like I might take something too literally bc I'm deciphering each word separately or missing part of the words like I hear it and then I start understanding what I heard which may not even be accurate idk if I'm making any sense but someone give me a link to this test for adults so I can see how I fit in with it bc I feel this kid big time for when I was his age so I feel like I'm right in thinking it's dyslexia XD

    Reading out loud in school was hell. I was bullied so much when I would have to read out loud. If it was popcorn reading other kids would pick on me just to laugh at me. My mom refused to get me tested for dyslexia because she thought I would be discriminated to get a job. It made school hell, but a few teachers who knew about dyslexia and could see my struggles they would make accommodations for me. Some teachers were able to get someone to read questions and answers on a test. I scored at least 10% better with this simple accommodated!

    I have dyslexia. Found that out only as an adult coz when i was a child, there were no such tests. School was nightmare coz the teachers and classmates treated me badly, as though i was mentaly impaired and would be stupid for my entire life. Only in my later years in school, in boarding school, people realized that something was up. I never opened a book to study in dorm, but i always managed to score avarage or above which made no sense to most of my classmates who studied long hours in front of books before exams. In one of the tests in biology, i was also the only one out of 50 to ansver one particular question correctly. The teacher read my ansver and and made everyone write it down. My test scores depended a lot on how good was the teacher teaching and explaining in class, and not the amount of hours i spent studying on my own. I remembered very well what i heard, but i could never remember well what i read coz i strugled so much with reading. Now that i am aware of my dyslexia, its also easier for me to manage it coz now i know my weak points.

    Watching this evaluation was eye-opening to the skills the student needs to complete each task you gave for the student to complete!! The Evaluator was non-judgmental during each segment of the evaluation, and praised him frequently, and told the word to the student if he was stuck. That made a difference in helping the student to continue with a good effort! The calm tone and sometimes playful tone of voice from the Evaluator was very helpful too, and encouraged the student to believe that it was ok to make some mistakes. Very helpful!!! Thank you!

And I said “ how would I know?, I don’t take a spelling test as soon as I wake to see if I am or not” what did she think? That Dyslexic people sense there Dyslexia constantly and would notice if it went straight alway, like if I had no legs and they grew back over night! What was the point of that question!

    Absolutely fantastic! I was born in 1944 and at that time, no one had any idea about Dyslexia, so I ended up with glasses at the age of 13. I loved watching this little boys face. At 18 I felt I had to find out what was going on before I hit college. So I forced myself to read one book each week, off the New York Times best seller list. I hated school and book reports were hours and weeks of torture. I am now a very fast reader and I can read upside down and backward. To me, letters are pictures. I still have a problem with numbers and will almost always reverse the last two numbers in a group. My big surprise was learning in my late teens, that my problem was not visual, but neurological. People see a Dyslexic as lazy and dumb. I hated math and loved algebra. Algebra was a puzzle and gave me time to think. Fortunately, one of my teachers suggested my Parents have me tested. The IQ test proved that I was more than capable of making this all work out. Now at 76 I am living in a foreign country and learning a new language. It is a big challenge. But then, so is life. You need a sense of humor. Great Video!!!!!!

Haha I had similar issues to Zeke when I was young but I think he'll be just fine. Once he finds a subject that interests him, he'll do great. There is a good number of dyslexics who do great at math, science, and art. Word of Advice Dont give up Zeke (and to all other dyslexic people and parents of ones who have it); it may seem hard at times but dont let it get to you or put you down. There are many of us just like you in the world and there is no shame in having dyslexia. And I wish you luck, but I dont think youll be needing it. ^_^

    I am dyslexic. Profoundly so. I use a text to speech program called Natural reader. What makes this particular program such a benefit to me is that it highlights the word as it reads it to me. This gives me multiple input stimulus and creates greater comprehension and retention. The speed is adjustable and the neovoices are close to natural and even provide inflection. I am now close to 62 and am a published author. Before I was 50, I probably read less than a dozen books in my life. I am a voracious reader now.

It wasn't until I was in college that a professor suggest that I be evaluated for it, but by that point I was off on my own, with no way to pay for an evaluation. I always just thought I was stupid, now I realize I'm not stupid at all, my brain just processes information differently. I just wish I would have had the tools, and resources to help me do my best when I was in school.

    MrCoolflames imo it does not. M and n are different sounds. The o in those words may sound the same, but not the n and m. I think it would rhyme in a rap, but they arent words that rhyme. I think there are different ways to spell rhyme because there are different veraions of rhyming. Lol

    m and n have different sounds so I don’t think so, but if the test isn’t referring to rhyming meaning the end of a word but just a part of a word, then yes they rhyme.

    “Home” and “phone” do not rhyme. In order for words to rhyme, the nucleus (vowel) and the coda (consonant(s) after the vowel) must be the same. Only the vowel sound /o/ is the same in these two words.

    Xpert_Destroyer 4 here’s a curve ball. Through, though, thought, taught, taunt, thought, and tough, all look the same to me and I’m sure I forgot another word that looks the same. Ring and wring I confuse. ware, where, witch, which, and when, is another grouping. I struggle with together until (intill?) about a month ago when my friend showed me to-get-her together spells together. I would commonly to tougher as together. Muscle, mussel looks the same. Oddly enough I don’t confuse the difference between theatre and theater. Theatre: plays in an auditorium. Theater: you watch movies on the big screen. I’m going to stop now because I can rant longer. EDIT: Did you realize I typed thought twice at the beginning, I just realized this just now
