I am a dyslexic and that part of not giving up is true... because the majority times we fail the first time.

I’m dyslexic .. Bad at reading, math, and short term memory.. never stopped me from doing anything definitely harder but not impossible. I have had an AMAZING life and now I understand that my dyslexia had a lot to do with it being a joy ride !!! I wouldn’t change anything if I could.

I like that as its the same as me, and I can do things the others can not do

My 14 year old has mild dyslexia. Although we were lucky to have had him diagnosed and worked with from an early age, I still hear and see his frustration come out in certain ways. I am excited to show him this so he can see the amazing ways that people excel. When one door seems closed, so many more are opened...

When i read my mind goes some where else then I have to start over again.

My wife and I have a 16 year old son. We learned he was dyslexic 2 years ago. The useless school system he was in tortured the kid for years and refused to cooperate properly even when they learned of his dyslexia. We were able to get a child psychiatrist to sign off on school choice. Since he has been in a different district his grades have skyrocketed. This year he just missed the honor roll due to getting a C in history. However, he received an A in Algebra and an A plus in biology. My son also does an art form called Parkour. This has helped as well. It has become evident that this kid is not going to go through the front door like other kids. He is extremely unconventional. The football team wants him badly. He refuses and only wants Parkour. This summer he refused to work at a local supermarket. He said that every one is doing that. Instead he volunteered at a local botanical gardens in a town nearby. The kid is making friends with many adult amateur botanists and horticulturalists. They really like him and are teaching him a lot. Now he wants to train to be a life guard. He is built like a truck, intelligent, and a very respectful young man. It would not have been a happy ending if he stayed in the old school district. Shame on them!

I don't normally admit that I am a diagnosed dyslexic... I feel that the term "dyslexic" is culturally associated with a disability. Despite having to overcome the stigma of being "special" as a child, I have never felt disabled. I have a higher than average IQ, I am a audio learner, and I am a three dimensional thinker... I have a masters degree and I easily grasp topics that the masses struggle with i.e. quantum physics. In my opinion, dyslexics should be considered gifted, not disabled.

I've been diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia since i was a kid, and after knowing that i have this condition, really taught that i was stupid and a useless kid, because i suck at reading and everything, so i didnt payed much attention and tried harder when i was on elementary, but when i went to high school i tried to join journalism as editorial cartoonist (because when i was on elementary i failed on joining and i said to myself that i just gonna try again when i get to hs) and i found out that i'm actually good at drawing, i practiced for 2 years and i had a really big progress and art changed my life and it saved me from my depression and sadness, i also studied about my condition and i realized that it was actually not a disability but a gift, i'm a senior high school student now and i was studying under a STEM (science,technology,and engineering mathematics) course which i can't still believe because i know that i really suck at math. But i still choose to do it because I want to go to my dream university or study architechture in the future.

‘The dyslexic advantage’ book is a game changer

I'm a professional graphic artist, video artist, animator, photographer and digital artist. I have no trouble reading and my writing is fine as I don't write the letters but draw them, if that makes sense. Maths and short term memory, time keeping, sheduling and organising tend to be my biggest weaknesses. My short term memory is atrocious, so bad I kind of live in the moment everything fading fast behind me, I forget even the most important events days after they happen which is kind of embarrassing when someone describes something that I have no memory of that I was an intrinsic part of.

Here in the United States, schools do not know how to properly teach students with Dyslexia or other learning disabilities. I have felt stupid at times, worried about my future; as if an outcast from society. Looking back at how I made it to a University, it took smart thinking, hard work, and a little bit of luck. It may take a few times to read a page of a book, but sometimes you grasp more than a regular person. Reading a book as a dyslexic causes copious amounts of effort and stress, but by the time you finish that book, you will have learned to be better prepared for things that require effort and stress.

It's amazing to know that I'm not alone and all the years of struggling and thinking I'm just dumb led me to think i Would be forever alone and sometime it's lovely to see all the things I can relate to

The ones who think we are dumb aren’t intelligent at all!

I am 51 years old and I didn’t even know what was wrong with me until I was diagnosed at 25 years old by a coworker who's son was dyslexic. The coworker had gone through extensive training about dyslexia to understand and teach his son. He gave my two books - Josh : a boy with dyslexia and The Gift of Dyslexia. First 2 books I ever read cover to cover. My mind freezes from processing words, I over heat, begin to sweat and have even passed out before trying too hard. It is near impossible for me to read out loud. They laughed at me in junior high and high school when called on to read out loud. Teachers just stopped calling on me. Back then they didn’t diagnose dyslexia in school. You can’t even imagine the childhood trauma it caused me. Though persistent focus, discipline, memorization of words and relentless repetitiveness I’ve taught myself to read and comprehend what I read. It requires all my attention and concentration - it is hard work. Forget about spelling or pronunciation of a word I have not seen before. I have to pretend to be writing to tell my right from my left - I am left handed. When I see a single letter alone I have to think hard to remember and say it out loud to recall how it is pronounced. Numbers are constantly reversed. I am super good at math, science, engineering and lots of other things though… it is fucked up, frustrating and extremely embarrassing. Early detection, explanation and instruction to child is vital for them to reach their full potential... knowing is the most powerful thing you can give someone with dyslexia. It would have changed my entire life if I knew before 10 years old when the distress, confusion and trauma really began.

Thank you for writing that response. Having been through that rough experience, it’s admirable that you can now walk with your head up high. I myself am a dyslexic. I was diagnosed early and had ‘reasonable’ support throughout my schooling. In my own opinion I believe that teachers cannot show a dyslexic student how to learn. Instead what they do is leave open ended thoughts for them in order to coerce them into finding the answers themselves. I’m grateful for this practice as it means I understand myself much better. I am now at a top university studying international business! Things are changing for us, and we will succeed!

So good to hear what was said. Came across this video by accident but so glad I did. Recommend it to every dyslexic person. It’s a must watch, thank you

I've always had the most encouraging Mom, she always told me I was super smart and when I was feeling down about dyslexia she always knew what to say.

One of the best explainations for dyslexia I've ever heard.

I would change a thing ! about me ! I am dyslexic and dyspraxic my gift is special and I am learning that we are have superpowers!

Thank you for your talk on dyslexia. I am going to share this with my daughter and 2 granddaughters who both have dyslexia which I know this will help them.

I’m dyslexic, my father and sons too. Every generation has had more support and understanding than the previous. We do see the world from a different perspective that can at times provide helpful insights. In the video he talks about seeing things in 3D in your mind. I would add that I understand systems better than the average person. Chemistry, systems efficiency and mathematics all made sense after everything was explained. People tend to glance at me with a side eye when they suggest a change and I explain the problem it creates for what they feel is an unrelated group. After walking them through how their change impacts that group the eyes go wide.

i have dyslexia and i am now still at school and i am so happy about this i have suffored so much with this and was called dumb and stupid i recently found out that i had it (test)and i always knew i had somthing wrong with me and im IN LOVE with art and seeing this made me happy and that my brain works in differnt ways and i am so bad at math and this had given me hope THANK U SO MUCH!!!!

Thank you so very! I have always been artistic. I draw,paints,sew,knit and love throwing pottery. But my favorite thing is drafting! I love to study historical houses and buildings. There is so much there, out there that others never would think to look at or see. Let alone try and study the use of it! Again thank you.

At 48 and 2 days ago I found out I was Dyslexic! I want to spell dyslexic starting in dis. I don't do punctuation but had to learn full stops and capitals and that gets me through life. I became a Royal Air Force Police Dog Handler for 14 years. I never joined to be a Policeman I joined to train dogs. Dogs would show me all the love I needed when growing up and as an adult. I just need to see a doctor and see if I need to slow my brain down.

Thankyou for your talk. I feel there isn't any support groups to help dyslexics thrive only a few organisations around the world I think helping people to thrive and unlocking that part that sees exactly what they are doing. I have dyslexia myself and there's nothing around bear me that supports or help to discover full potential. Dyslexia is also more then just reading and writing it effects so much and is such a underated disorder that is seen as a disability rather then being cognitively diverse in some places. We need more support networks to help adults and children thrive and see there creativity and excel in areas we have so much ability to unlock and potential but isn't enough support face to face networks that can be of support. I think alot of dyslexics gave other things combined as well this makes it hard to see there self and discover what they can do. Their are so many different forms and we have abilities anyone who needs to feel understood and sense of me too... Go on my dyslexic life run by dyslexics always helps me understand myself more it can be hard for people with dyslexia and we need people to be more awear of the need of support and confidence building and self esteem

We're very sympathetic and make great friends with people that are strong with our weakness in return we get there help.

I worry about having kids because I would never want them to go through the same thing. All I wanted to be when I was a kid is normal and fit in. I was told I had dyslexia when I was 11. I have carried that burden with me for many years. I worked hard to build a career as a designer but I still carry the burden that feeling has affected all aspects of my life relationships and most of all my confidence, It's nice to hear some one say dyslexia is a gift. It's a power you just have to figure out how to harness that power!

I’m over 50 now .I’m dyslexic with ADHD .I don’t bloody well feel gifted- sure over my lifetime iv been toled I’m intelligent and I have come up with solutions for things others didn’t think of. I have managed to learn to read -I still can’t spell . I will right the same word different ways . I still have to sound out my own sir-name when I have to right it down. I have a written and verbal comprehension problems- if I can pull something apart and build it again that helps. Iv got memory problems from childhood. I have found computers on roadside pickups- bypassed security and passwords on them- but 2days later .if you gave my the same computer and asked me to do it again -I would not remember how I had done it . When I use a rope to tie down the load on my partners work vehicle she will sometimes ask me how many knots to you know and why do you do it differently so often-mand I don’t remember doing it any particular way .there is no intent or thought on my part it just happens . It’s so fu...kn frustrating - I feel like a very intelligent dummy -who has no place in the modern world . The depression is soul crushing. I don’t like praise-because it implies presher and expectations i probably can’t meet . If I could do my life over again knowing what I know now, I STILL WOULD NOT DO IT AGAIN. WHEN MY LIFE IS OVER I WILL FINALLY BE AT PEACE . The end of my existence sounds very peaceful. I hope others find peace in life . Good luck to you all.

Perhaps the early people with dyslexia were better at spotting their predators while they were still crouching/hiding ready to attack, whereas their peers without dyslexia only noticed the predator when it was already pouncing? Perhaps they could also spot prey better while it was still unaware of them, whereas their peers might only spot dinner when it was already running away?

I’m dyslexic, it took me over a minute to find the right spelling for dyslexic. My advice is work with your strength’s and avoid your weaknesses Don’t take jobs that you will struggle in use your imagination and be happy.

have dyslexia and I didn't know that until I was probably in the 6th grade. During my elementary school years I was A terrible student I barely passed my classes I got held back in third grade and I thought I was stupid because no one told me a dyslexia but I'm glad they didn't tell me, because I probably would use it as a crutch. So when I finally passed elementary school my dad wanted me to go to the school near his house so that he could help me because he was the main one teaching me reading, math, science and everything. But my mom wanted me to go to the school by her house (they're divorced) so my dad got upset and said "OK when he fails middle school it's your fault" I was kind of sad but I understand why he said that because on my mom side of the family my brother and two sisters are mentally disabled and they were in special ed classes so he was probably thinking me being in that environment I will probably won't be able to succeed in school. But I don't blame him because he was probably right but because I heard him say that it pushed me to be better and to show him that I won't fail because of my disability and my surroundings. The following year in six grade I almost made honor roll but I missed it by five points but I was proud of my self and all the way through middle school I had passing grades and I was proud of myself. But I still had some low C's in my class and my dad was not impressed and said "that greed is not acceptable" so that pushed me even more and in the 9th grade I made good grades. I just finished 10th grade with all A's and the very first thing I did when I got my report card back I went up to my dads desk and slammed it on the table, turned around and walked away.. and it felt so good. I'm glad that my dad pushed me to be able to do this because I know he loves me and he wants me to succeed and he helped push me to do it even though I have pretty bad dyslexia. Because of that I'm out of my small group/ special ed classes and I'm not in advanced classes.

I agree and would like to add that we need to be wary of coded bias. Part of the problem with 'dealing' with dyslexia is the lens a person puts on when first looking at the situation. If you see dyslexics as having a disability because they don't read like others, then the approach is about managing a flaw in some ability. If you are someone who sees it as a gift, then you can sometimes just play the wait and see and let nature take it's course. I would like to propose a 3rd lens. Dyslexia has inherit traits, shows a deviation from some neural functioning from non-dyslexics, is often shared by engineers/artists/mathematicians and can lead to a reading delay--but not always. Is this a learning disability? Or is this a teaching disability? When neuro science researchers watch dyslexics think and they 'see' a difference from others>are they going to announce proof of a disability--or--should they more honestly admit that there is a need for different approaches to reading instruction? There is research on both sides; disability, and or varies on how they learn. Visual thinkers need a different timeline for reading linguistically. They need supports that meet their needs. My point might be easier to understand this way, not all people are white. If we see [or are] someone with darker skin are they[ourselves] suffering from excessive pigmentation and need to be whitewashed? Or should we[everyone] instead embrace the beautiful hues and the vibrant cultures they have to add to our society? I'm dyslexic--I have been phonic-ed to death, it didn't help. At 14, I still couldn't read aloud without huge verbal stumbling. It wasn't until I was 14 and new approach was used before I could read--and I read very well. In three weeks, it [my reading problems] was fixed. Same for my sons. It wasn't until approaches outlined by "The Gift of Dyslexia" by Ron Davis was use helped my boys. One teacher trained in the method and it fixed the situation my boys. They had before this point received both phonics based and whole language based reading instruction. Both were on IEPs and great teachers had been tirelessly trying to 'fix' the problem. A lot of effort with little to show--reinforcing that idea they had a disability. Then the magic happened and everyone who had worked with them had an ah ha. It wasn't that they weren't getting the intervention they needed--it was the wrong type of intervention. They both are obsessive readers like myself now. Not disabled, not in the least. I think we need to tread carefully, and watch the lens we use when looking at this problem. I think the problem is created--institutionally designed with a bias towards traditional expected reading benchmarks, methods and timelines. Teach who you have as they need it, not as you are and how you want it. I love that he gives us another view--gift not disability, but what we need as families and educators most is just an acknowledgement that structurally there is a need for a different approach to instruction. Dyslexics can learn, and they can be anything they want to be including great readers.

Love this video ❤

Dyslexia gives you wings! - Forget the Red Bull.

I am good with words and writing I am excellent at reading but maths has held me back in life but I can play the guitar in my own style and way and I see the world in a creative way from my perspective I have been given the gift of writing thanks to the way my brain works I can visualise very well but when it comes to arithmetic and things like that it's a blank

I can not be a doctor. Or lawyer. Or a rocket scientist. Nor lie like a politician. But for my instant problem-solving abilities. Thank I. The Almighty God of Heaven And Earth. Never. Will I be able to imagine what shortcomings, also, people without dyslexia have. For what they can not see. and i can. What a blessing

Thank you❤

For me dyslexia is a label, so since starting at s new school I have only told my closest friends. Even though I don't need help the teacher said any one with "problems" will go into the bottom class and honestly I am good at English and I love it but I am falling behind because I have "problems"

Never let them try to teach us how to correct our wrongs, let them enable us to be as creative with our gifts as possible. Chris Stewart x

Dyslexia rules, KO! lol! I am proud to be dyslexic and a mirror-writer :)

Thank you for sharing

How can you activate the gifts of dyslexia? Do you have tips for that?

I have dyslexia and AIWS. I could actually control the time that I am experiencing. I could speed up or slower down the time at my will. It was quite fun during school, though. It's like riding a monster truck up-side-down. :D

I found out I was dyslexic 1 year ago. I have found it really stressful, that I'm the only “old student” at my school with dyslexia, there isn't really someone that understand me in that way…everyone knows the feeling of being alone.

Sir thanks for your information , sir I want to excell in sports 10m air riffle shooting. Is this possible with this problem. Please guide me. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

mine is mild... but teachers called me lazy. I went into insurance and contract law and I loved it but it was hard and I had to hide my problem.

I'm dyslexic and dyspraxic. I learn visually but I'm not able to imagine anything in 3d. I consider it a blessing though.

i am dyslexic and have an eidetic memory. I'm getting above average results at school but i need to make them higher. i don't have trouble reading, but memorising words is a difficulty beyond belief for me. For instance i can memorise the place the highlighter markings are but i can't tell you the word underneath it. Does anybody have any tips please!

Dyslexics are superior at where's wally! Dyslexics unite

Really? As a child, I would borrow the book Where's Waldo (Wally) all the time. I have just learned two months ago that I am Dyslexic at age 34.

just, thank you.

I'm Dyslexia too I can't read that well But I don't let that get in the way I'm still human just like everybody else I really don't let my Dyslexia Bother me that much I found a way around it to be successful in life

I also struggling while reading loud, I can read it only with my eyes , but short cut, I can't read it properly, and I don't understand what im reading, I can only understand if someone is telling what is written,

THANK YOU

I have dyslexia and did not know it when I was a child,,, IT did not have a name. I have learned to love my dyslexia (on my own) and ways around it. I have written 40 books and most times can see things other can not. Would not trade it for all the money in the world. It helped me to see the evil that controls us all and I put it in a book called God Religion and PEDOPHILES.

Hi arjun

i love this!!!!

thx for the video

Thank you for this video. I am currently studying law and just found out that I am dyslexic. And I am struggling with picking a career path. Is there any way someone could provide me with guidance?

Thanks

It's a gift and a curse in my experience.

Thanks.

You can always count on us to pack a beautiful trunk!

I'm dyslexic too.

I think in every country in the world should have assisted technology for adult people with dyslexia help read and write mandatory. In school, All kind of libraries, courthouses, State House, government buildings, trade schools, organizations that help you find jobs, Banks, credit union colleges. I believe we got far in with helping dyslexia people but not enough for the adults that's dealing with it everyday.

I have dyslexia and don't have the 3, 500 dollars for treatment or classes. To me dyslexia is not a gift or advantage but a curse. Maybe one day things will change.

8:30 "If they survive" key word is "if".

Humanity only made it this far because of…brains that work differently!

I can draw 3D. Since I was 8 it just came naturally. I do not necessarily enjoy or dislike reading or math. I was never exceptional at either even with heavy studying. I understand what people say when they can visualize better than literally read it and understand it.

All my life they called my issue a intellectual challenge, but i found out like 5 years ago that im actually dyslexic, (left handed too so, right brain) and funny how his name is John Stein , my breast reduction surgeon has the same name as him lol

I have dyslexia, I'm not made for this world, but my world.

it's hard for me ,now because of the pandemic, I can't understand the modules because I just don't understand what's the instructions, I can get it only if someone is teaching
