Yes. Same here. I have always hid my mild Dyslexia and ADHD as much as possible. I had to tell my current employer (due to them having to speak directly to me about my inability to stay on task). I first told them of my ADHD but felt I should also tell them of my dyslexia... They were very understanding. After recently looking to starting my own company, I decided to find out more about dyslexia to understand it better. I am very happy there is a bit of information about it out there.

My step father was not any better as he had Crohns disease for 30 years. It was very difficult for me as no one could understand me. I was always picked on and bullied. Make a long story short, due to the help I received, I was able to graduate High School and college. I am working for a really great company. I know it is a struggle, but, never give up on yourself and do the best that you can.

Despite doing terrible on standardized testing, I went on to graduate college at the top of my class with a perfect 4.0 and went on to grad school for my doctor of physical therapy degree. Now I have the privilege of teaching my son who has the gift of dyslexia. I know he is headed for great things.

Most professors don't want to sit there while you take the extra time to finish the exam. So they may let you finish up at the library or even take it home to finish it. Take as many classes as you can at a community college that can transfer to a state university. If necessary, give yourself an extra year to complete college.

I’d say they used those male examples because their inventions have directly affected each and everyone of us in our lives. The light bulb, our iPhones, and like they said “who is more of an icon for genius than Albert Einstein?” There are many examples of successful female dyslexics but their image may not be as recognisable as those examples used. For instance, Erin Brockovich is an example but I wouldn’t recognise her immediately the way I would Steve Jobs. Agatha Christie (one of the most influential and famous crime novelists of the past century), but again I wouldn’t recognise a photo of her as I would Einstein. Jennifer Aniston, Cher, but then again they’ve not contributed anything earth shattering aside from being great entertainers. They could have had Agatha Christie up though, as soon as anyone hears her name they know exactly who she is!

This brought tears 😭 to my eyes and I’m proud to be a dyslexic

I have dyslexia and I would like to say every person dealing with dyslexia has their very own experience. Mine is frustrating but in short Idk who I would be if it were not a part of me 🤷🏾‍♀️

As a dyslexic, I found this inspirational. Even today, I encounter so many people who just think dyslexia is about spelling, reading, and writing. The understanding is still missing for a large part of the population. Sometimes I just get tired of explaining.

Having dyslexia has always made me feel not worthy enough to be around people and in the workplace. I was told I was slow, never hold a job, read or write. I found this video and want to send my thanks for explaining dyslexia. I hope a lot of people see this. I wish here in the United States that schools where more knowledgeable on dyslexia.

I've watched a dozen Ted Talks on other topics, this is the first one where I actually learned something. Dyslexia is a learning difference not a disadvantage

At almost 30 I recognised that i am dsylexic 😂. I thought problems with spelling, numbers, directions and memory are just my weird quirks. Thanks to my dad, who insisted that i am intelligent, I never had confidence issues.

Recently I found my old booklet where I would write in during high school. I am dyslexic myself and I remember trying to juggle 4 different language subjects in school.(English, French, German and Dutch). Wasn't the easiest but with some creative thinking I did pass all of them. They quote I write during that time is " Never underestimate someone with dyslexia, maybe they aren't great in reading or writing but they think differently. They have to learn to think in solutions for a situation that they can't solve.". This video made me think back about my journey and how far I have grown.

My son has never been diagnosed however I have been in clinical and research healthcare a few decades and I know he has the characteristics but he doesn’t like me to speak about it but he struggles mildly. Now His intelligence level is through the roof! I just support him no matter!

I'm just now finding out that my dyslexia is actually a blessing! I thought that it was my ADHD that made me think the way I do, not knowing much about dyslexia. I'm thrilled to finally feel like I am actually quite gifted and that others feel the same way!

I love this...We are special aren’t we 🤗

I was at Millfield, my late father was sent there for dyslexia, which I why I ended up going. It changed my life.

I am 76yrs. I have known I am dyslexia since I was in my mid 40s. I am a happy well balanced articulate person now. But my personality has survived beatings , humiliations (in school ) and my career experiences were like living on a knife edge. I am so relieved I dont have to face that anymore as to admitting you have dyslexia would expose you even today to a lot of abuse. I believe I came from dyslexic parents which effected me and my sister. And in turn my daughters. But fortunately they didn't suffer the associated abuse I did and both have flourishing career. 1 a very successful Artist and the other a Child Physiologist. And me a very dedicated horsewomen now mostly on the ground 😁. Take heart everyone it is a blessing believe me . In disguise.

I am 21 from Germany and study law. I know that I have dyslexia since I was 9, in school it was often difficult and I also had some teachers who did not believe me and gave completely useless tips, but I always had the feeling that I have other advantages in life, which is why I was always reasonably satisfied to know that I have dyslexia.I just hope that in the future the system will help kids use their abilities better than it helped me.

Honestly thanks to my dyslexia, I’ve trained my memory and I learn quickly. Plus, I’ve come up with a pattern on how to read for myself and thanks to that I read quick and it’s an advantage in school for me. Of course, I still struggle with some things, but even judging based on myself and other dyslexic people I know, dyslexic people really have a stronger memory that HELPS them in life and school

My relatives and some senseless friends nearly made me believe that i was an illiterate, at a time i started regretting why i wasted my money and years going to the university instead of learning some skills but i still thank God for my life , for his grace and i also thank my mother for her encouragement

Mr Spoonz Your story is so inspiring, I will share with my 13 year old son who has just been diagnosed.

So I'm dyslexic. Never been actively diagnosed but it runs in my family and I have literally all of the factors and characteristics. I did get a preliminary diagnosis recently but it hasn't been made official. I have always been really good at reading things backwards or upside down. I can write in mirror writing which is like backwards and starting on the opposite side. In cursive and print. I'm really good at visualizing things. like objects moved around or to scale in a space. There are many times in my life I've tried to make an argument that there is an advantage to it. Especially with learning languages with completely different alphabets. Greek and Russian don't really confuse me. At least the weird letters themselves. Because my brain doesn't actually care about the letters. It accepts that they could be whatever in whatever order and with whatever pronunciation. It's arbitrary. So this is really interesting to see this and also quite validating.

I say this after struggling ever day in school. As an 11 year old dyslexic boy

I've spent the last few years learning about all sorts of mental disabilities. I'm starting to believe that its society that has the issues. Not the people suffering.

I'm dyslexic but it took me ages to be diagnosed with it because without realising it I adjusted the way I did things so I could get round it :)

if you look at the big picture of the PURPOSE of public education, you will see that the PURPOSE is not to educate people to be the best that they can be. Public education is designed to ensure there is a large population of people who will work in factories, armies, service industry, and other menial professions. In my opinion - public education has achieved it's goal of suppressing the individuals who would otherwise grow strong and take a part of the pie that is supposed to be reserved for the rich and powerful of the world. ANALOGY: think of it as a huge game of "King Of The Hill" if you can effectively coerce the majority of people to simply NOT PLAY THE GAME, then it is much easier to ensure that your own rich, privileged children will win the game. Otherwise you will have so much competition from the working class geniuses that "Family Money" will soon be taken away by bright "Working Class people" who had confidence and ability to capitalize on their own inherent intelligence. ...Of course the designers of the public school systems had no idea what "Dyslexia" was at the time of designing the system but they blindly hit the nail on the head in terms of oppressing the most creative and capable competition coming from the general public.

Great talk Kate, keep up the good work.

So nice to hear about the wonderful things our dyslexic brains can do and not just focusing on the set backs.

I just found this video and found it great. I didn't know I was dyslexic until I was 23 years old while going for my second degree. I wish I had the support as a child, as I never could figure out why I struggled in school. I still struggle and try to find the support.

I'm 18 and it was only three days ago that i realised that I was dyslexic all my life and Astonishly my teachers never realised it...

These videos have made me feel good about myself

I feel real proud to be Dyslexic right now

I'm not sure if I have dyslexia, but at times, I'm pretty sure it's the case. I've always been a slower reader and have mixed my letters without realization. Even when typing, I've skipped entire words, thinking I've typed it. I wish I grew up in with those who cared for me enough to figure out what was different with me.

So moved to watch it . Thanks for your talk. I wish my girl can go to the school who deserves dyslexia

She sold me on the first word. I can’t wait to learn more about dyslexia and the future for our children 💖💖💖💖

hi, i am 12 and have dyslexia i was so forchenet that my community and my parents were there because things are getting better but the world needs people to understand it is not a disability just a different way the mind functions.

well done Kate, thank you for the very interesting talk. thank you for the upload

Thanks so much for this 🥺

Absolute genius ..have asked it to be mailed round to the teachers at my children's school .Most of which have very little knowledge of dyslexia ..

watching this august 2019 Australia, i knew i was different when: a friend thought i had a photographic memory: i would go through 360 phone numbers of businesses/friends in my head every night/day, to keep those contacts in memory!! as, soon as i stopped going through those numbers(including address n much more), i started to forfget

This is the best well reasoned argument for real change. The AI world already know that dyslexics are far more suitable for the future, and still the education system destroys that creativity. I too cried having spent 76 years being misunderstood.

Being dyslexic it took me a while to get into reading. It took me finding a book series I really liked to get me really reading. Now I tend to read almost constantly. At least 100 thousand words a day when I get into it.

I didn't know for years that I was dyslexic. I practiced too hard without any guide and when I look back, my efforts were all good and correct.........

Cried. Beautiful 👏👏👏

Thank you for this

I found it hard all my life because of my dyslexia my school didn't notice that I was struggling. Now at the age of 40 I'm doing something about it reading all the comments have made me feel positive and I can go to uni and achieve.

They just held me back a year and called it good

In the diverse landscape of Africa, there are many individuals, like myself, Mafaro Mapiye, a 25-year-old from Zimbabwe, who live with learning differences such as Dyslexia and Dysgraphia. We are often misunderstood because our thinking patterns deviate from the norm. This unique cognitive framework influences not only the way we pronounce words and write, but also the way we express ourselves, creating a communication gap that can be hard for others to bridge. The consequences of our unique learning differences extend beyond interpersonal communication and impact our professional lives as well. Government entities and private companies frequently prioritize candidates who have excelled in traditional education, often requiring a grade C or above in English. This conventional approach to hiring overlooks the potential and unique capabilities of individuals like us. However, our journey doesn't end here. Driven by a spirit of perseverance, many of us embark on self-directed learning journeys. The traditional academic routes leading to degrees and master's qualifications are often more suitable for individuals whose learning differences align more closely with societal norms. Our thought process is strikingly similar to the functioning of AI large language models. Every conversation we have involves an underlying layer of complex cognitive processes - a constant analysis to determine suitable words, their pronunciations, meanings, and how to construct sentences. This struggle, far from being a setback, is a testament to our tenacity and resilience. Despite the challenges, we sometimes inadvertently overwhelm others when we strive to converse in English that closely resembles the norm. However, it's important to remember that this struggle is not easy; it's a continual testament to our strength and the unique ways in which our minds work. As we navigate through the world, we persist, we learn, and we continue to make our mark...

I see this just for 3 minutes and I already broke up crying.

Thank you

Only makes me wish I had had more support but at least I was lucky to have had luck and some good people get me through a lot of hard times

I’ve been made fun of so many times for reading slow and being placed in a classroom away from others. Today i’m 22 and I feel I am at a disadvantage because everyone I grew up around is able to do simple things very quickly and not mess up. it makes me feel very uncomfortable like I don’t belong

I am 65 I TOTALLY relate to what you are saying. However I grew up in a different time, I hope you will meet more understanding people than I did. But be encouraged, you are now likely out of the wretched school system and with some self confidence you will hopefully find you will make your own way. Just do not try to play them same 'game' as those who have been around you. Most entrepreneurs (or at least a very least, a disproportionate number) have some degree of dyslexia, find your own strong points and go with it. I was a truck driver in the mid 80's AIDS crisis transporting medical specimens for a medical lab. Concerned of my possible exposure I developed a transport containment system making a prototype using plastic from a dumpster. With this and other developments I became financially independent by the time I was 30. Good luck !

Brilliant talk! The government need to support more specialist schools or learning.

BTW I am getting on that list!... I couldn't read until 9 or 10, and my first book I ever read was by roald dahl the witches. I can code and have invented a clean energy device. I am still as curious about the world now at 36 than I was at 10. I just love to learn.

I love this woman

Thanks so much

Anyone who is moved or touched by this should seek out “The Gift of Dyslexia” by Ronald D.Davis. If you suspect your child is dyslexic you owe it to them to educate yourself and provide them with the opportunities we never had 🙌🏼 Imagine the possibilities. Best of luck x

I’ve been struggling forever with mine and I know so much and what I’m capable of but because I’ve been laughed at so much now 33 I’m stuck .. caged in my brain because of the people around me . I wish there was a class I could attend now to get the best out of me .
