Being dyslexic is not an addiction. If you like “addiction” presented as an analogy….here it is. You have an addiction to yourself., which is likely unwilling to change for the betterment of the collective. I understand the feeling of being alone. Being dyslexic, we’ve felt alone our whole lives. As a result, unfortunately, we now automatically assume others and the rest of the world is against us. Put your ego aside. Go out of your comfort zone and seek guidance. Most people, ex-New Yorkers, naturally have the need to help others. Think about how good it feels when you do the same. I still mentally stutter…but I have personable skills that out way my fears and vocal lag.

@@trevorbronkema7332 I am a retired teacher of students with special needs. I diagnosed myself with dyslexia because when I was in elementary school it was not diagnosed. The teacher does not make a diagnosis. They refer a child to the guidance counselor who arranges for testing. The parents who notice their child is struggling can ask for an evaluation as well. If you have dyslexia it is a lifelong condition. You improve and compensate but there is no cure. I am not sure if you made a written error or you think dyslexia goes away. I am sorry you seem so resentful.

I'm 4th generation dyslexic. Luckily it is celebrated in my family. We may have hit difficulties at school but at home we were encouraged to excell anyway. My mother, three aunts, two cousins and myself all became teachers to make things easier for others like us.

Please read this and reply cause it will make my day. Thanks mate before today I haven't said to anyone I have dyslexia and what you said in the video is absolutely true. I am not good artist but I am good at calculating things , visualising when some one is explaining science or any other topic and I can do alot more but the few things I can't do is reading and writing. In fact I have book in my house I am using it as a sleeping pill yes you heard that right after 1 or 2 page of reading I will start sleeping lol. The one sad truth is no one is supportive I got punched, bullied specially by teachers ( calling me names for making low score).

I'm 75 years old. When I was somewhere in my late 20s (long before I knew I had dyslexia), I was reading a bedtime story to my 5-year-old daughter. I was that bad...my daughter took the book from me and gave it to her mother, and said; mum is a better reader than you! Embarrassment...!!! I sat there listening to my wife as she read to our daughter. She was good! The expression and words just rolled from her tongue/mouth.

I am still facing this struggle at 75.

I am dyslexic and taught students with dyslexia. I was tested as being in the 99 percentile in visual perception and in the first percentile in spelling. I could go to craft fairs and see something I liked and go home and reproduce it without instructions. I made complicated models by pictures not the written word. I had students that could fix complicated mechanical items. I read well but do not remember what I read. I still can’t spell well. My dyslexia is mixed with ADHD. I remember what I hear. So with audio books, KZread and spell checking I compensate for the worst of my “disabilities”. Now how does one compensate for my artistic and different thinking. You can’t.

Can you help me with my 7 year old daughter

I can’t keep up with mi dyslexic son his inclination towards robotics and computers is extraordinary, he always fixes my computer 🥰 I always tell him that am proud of him and his abilities to solve problems.. Especially computer problems are extremely frustrating to me...I get headaches all the time; on the other hand, my son fixes it with ease... God only knows who’s got a disability..

I’m 23 & I just found out I’ve had dyslexia since I was a child. After doing more research a lot of understanding came to me when looking back at my past struggles. As a kid I used to read words backwards but could never pronounce or comprehend them normally. Reading was a huge struggle for me growing up. The comprehension just wasn’t there for me. Same with my learning. I felt like I had to study 10x harder than the kid next to me to even get a decent score. There was so many times I’d put in hours of study only to get a test put in front of me & have my mind rearrange everything. It was super frustrating dealing with this growing up. I wasn’t being a lazy bum in the classroom and I knew I had put in the hours and set aside the time to get it down, but could never fully deliver it in a way that was deemed as acceptable. It definitely hurt my confidence because I just thought something was wrong with me. It’s good to know there are pros to it. I feel like those with dyslexia are just in a constant state of learning how they themselves learn because the normal way has never really worked for them. Just my thoughts..

It hard see any different when it shuts U out school, jobs and some relationship, solely base on words on a paper. For me I see as mixed bag you just got know when pull out the Ace card and remove all doubt.

In the diverse landscape of Africa, individuals like me, Mafaro Mapiye, a 25-year-old Zimbabwean, navigate life with learning differences such as Dyslexia and Dysgraphia. However, amidst the misunderstandings and communication challenges, there exist unique strengths that define and enrich our lives. Our cognitive framework, different from the norm, lends itself to several unique abilities. For instance, my innovative problem-solving skills stand out prominently, allowing me to think outside the box and see new ways of completing tasks. This ability to find connections where others might miss is a trait that can be a game-changer in the world of entrepreneurship. Moreover, I have a natural affinity for technology, particularly Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. Utilizing these advanced tools, I have found a voice and a platform to showcase my capabilities and strengths. This tech-savvy edge is a tremendous asset in a world increasingly driven by digital innovation. Creative, observant, and empathetic, I embody the strengths typically associated with Dyslexics. I'm particularly adept at seeing the big picture, a quality highly valuable in strategic planning and leadership roles. My three-dimensional thinking ability allows for an excellent understanding of complex systems, a critical skill in my role as an architect. Despite the language and writing challenges associated with Dyslexia and Dysgraphia, my determination has led me on a self-learning journey. Just like an AI language model, I continuously analyze words, their pronunciations, meanings, and sentence construction. This relentless cognitive activity is not a setback; it is a testament to my resilience and unique thought process. Far from being limited by societal norms, I am driven by a spirit of perseverance. My journey is not dictated by traditional academic routes but inspired by the potential to adapt, learn, and innovate. In essence, I am not just a dyslexic and dysgraphic individual. I am a problem solver, a technophile, a creative thinker, an observer, an empathetic leader, and, above all, a resilient human being making my mark in the world.

I was diagnosed with severe dyslexia when I was 18 - I always knew there was something different about me as I would struggle with Reading and comprehension in general. However, since I had a good memory would excel in Maths and creative thinking. However, my teachers would label me as lazy and a lost cause. My passion has always been starting a business but with lack of funds and not knowing where or how to start I am just sat in my corporate job structured and unable to express my creativity. I always wonder if only someone listened to me when I was younger and was diagnosed instead of being told I was lying or was too clever to be dyslexic as this has really affected my confidence and sense of worthiness. Thank you, for the video it has really helped me see a different light to my dyslexia.

This is the most relatable video I have seen on KZread - thanks Ryan!

When I'm reading a long article, I find myself losing concentration and drifting off from what I'm reading to something else in my mind... Then I'll get so far...and find out I didn't absorb what I was supposed to have read - so have to read it all over again. And other occasions; I'd have to read articles over and over again for me to understand/make sense to me.

You could see the pain in his eyes of what he faced parents need to be more aware of this issue and learn techniques of how to deal with it so our kids can grow up confident and successful

I live in the Caribbean. It was very hard to go through our shcool system. I had to always think outside the box. Unfortunately even if a teacher that has knowledge of you they are rotated and you are lost in the system again. There was time when i was alone i cried, not i am over coming some of the bad moments in time of my life

Excellent speech! Dyslexia is a Superpower. The British NHS Healthcare states we are Problem Solvers. I used Music and Art to turn my daughter into a BOOKWORM. This is when she could hardly read, write or spell in school. Thanks to Councillor Kevin Griffiths my daughter sang in the park last Saturday. All original songs. Like Dyslexic John Lennon she has a way with words (Lyrics), so how can anyone claim people like my daughter are Disabled. We are Creative Audio Visual Thinkers. We learn differently! Celebrate it and own it. It's good to be different.

as a dyslexic i know for a fact dyslexia is an issue with the eyes ability to focus and that is what causes the brain to get wired the way it is i have proven this may times with many different dyslexics i know first their is a difference between how our eyes focus on projected light VS reflected light and we read better if the light is projected not reflected that's why all dyslexics i have ever met can read better off of a screen that is projecting the light into our eyes VS reading off of a piece of paper that is reflecting the light into our eyes another thing that helps dyslexics actually be able to focus is to alter the lights color like for me if i read threw rose red tented glass or plastic i can actually read better and for my oldest daughter her color is amber yellow as ware my youngest daughter her color is baby blue side not this is just my dyslexic brain noticing something but first you said 15% to 20% of people have dyslexic then you said 35% of US and 20% of UK entrepreneurs have dyslexia and you then say that the UK entrepreneur is twice as likely to have dyslexia then regular people how do you get that math from the numbers and then you say that the US entrepreneur is 3 times more likely then the regular population how do you get that math from the numbers you gave i think you need to redo your math now your math would be right is you were using the base percentage most people use and that is only 10% of people have dyslexia not 15% to 20% of people having it

I am 66 years old and I have never thought for a second that dyslexia was a superpower, a super pain in the behind maybe.

My daughter was recently diagnosed. This was so informative for me being the school really does not educate the parents on dyslexia.

I understand that dyslexia is hereditary. My son has dyslexia, too. My son had to have extra time to do his exams to get to university. He's good as a media engineer/producer in broadcasting technology. My grandson is not too brilliant academically. However, I don't know if he's been tested for dyslexia. He's very good at performing Arts. I wasn't very good academically at school; so, I was labelled a Dunce. But, in my mid-40s at college while training for a second career in technology I found out (after a test) that I was dyslexic, too. I also had to have extra time to do my studying and exams. I'm a good computer engineer, singer-songwriter, musician and actor. On the whole; dyslexia has rendered me from achieving my true goal in life.

@@jasonaldridge1357 I like the positivity. But sadly, in my small area, in my small city, there is no one to surround yourself with like me, I’m it. Though, a lot has happened since this post. Namely, me not taking overt, covert and indirect discrimination anymore. Partly because of videos like this one. Luckily, we have discrimination laws firmly embedded, so it appears, when I searched outside my Uni, I actually got the confirmation and empowerment to take action. Which I now am, and I’m not accepting anything but equity. Suddenly, and not surprisingly, I now have the support for this action to potentially bear fruit. And, fruit for me and potentially future students. Funny how sometimes you just need to wave a flag of war to get support from your own organisation. I think some just didn’t think there was a need, some didn’t know any better, and some just didn’t want to take on the established, unjust policies. So now, I think key internal people are on the same page. So, when this all finishes, if things go to plan, all severely dyslexic people at my Uni will be able to get past a higher degree. This was going to happen sooner or later, I just happen to be “it” at my Uni.

Your argument is thoroughly engaging and fun! I also appreciate your insights as to what people with dyslexia go through. However, your comments are identical to every KZread video on dyslexia. We “us” (which isn’t a thing) shouldn’t be thrown into a bucket. Respectfully, and with all due respect, I don’t buy how you relate to dyslexia. It sounds like every other shrink trying to sell us and prescribe us pills. I was diagnosed dyslexic as a child, however my parents never told me until my 30s. I always knew there was something wrong, but I managed by creatively, in my mind, differentiating my own response to others through individualism. Finding excuses for anything is toxic. Dyslexia is what it is. We manage just fine…thankfully it’s all we know. How do you manage? What are you selling? Note that dyslexia has yet to be proven as theory, as it’s still a hypothesis. There’s no way I would ever be confidently capable of speaking my thoughts out loud, but that doesn’t mean I don’t catch horse manure. Hi How do you know that Einstein and Jobs were dyslexic? Do you have their medical records? Even if you did, you wouldn’t have the grounds to diagnose them.

Dyslexia isn't disability. It's a different type of person. It's like tall people and short people. We don't call short people disabled for being short or tall people disable for being tall. There is advantage and disadvantage to being short or tall. Same with this. For example found my dyslexia was gift in learning things fast once I figured out how to learn and today's Tech makes it so easy. That's like short person that has an environment were things are sized for them.

I hv hard time reading n memorizing stuffs, but Im pretty creative, I solved the stock market volatility problem so I can take advantage of it to make me some money consistently. I simply conceptualized what may work and engineered all the numbers, patterns n probabilities into certain parameters. I did some backtesting n it worked after some failures. I really2 think differently than most people, I hv a lonely life bcuz of that. Im the only one in the family who speaks english. I have low GPA but at work people rely on me heavily on difficult problems or job as I always able to find ways to do it. Please help telling me what kinda human I am.

I hate watching movies with subtitles! Are there any apps or software that can read subtitles in English aloud?

I am dyslexic. It is a neurological glitch that reeks havoc in learning. Let's say your a kid with a broken leg and no one sees your injury. So every day at school you have to run up a hill but you stumble and fail. You just can't do it no matter how hard you try. Teachers and parents tell you to try harder . That is what it is like . So many many doors are closed to you. Yes I am creative , yes I see the world a bit different. And yes I am ambitious despite dyslexia. I am a filmmaker and author. But saying it is a plus to have dyslexia I feel is misleading. Working around dyslexia to have good life is more accurate. I wouldn't wish dyslexia on my worst enemy.

Sorry, if I have mentioned this; before (dyslexic -Memory??); (I know, that I have commented on this -before); but: a few people; including: "The [very]_SHARK"_ Kevin O'Leary, have described: dyslexia as "a super-Power!!"??

hahahaaha people have always been saying think outside of the box. so ive always been trying to find the box in order to think outside of it ................ i think ive been doing it wrong

It's time that they should not pay attention on spellings in English as long as meaning of sentence is clear. The English language itself is a defective language because its words are not pronounced according to its spelling. If there is any language in the world that makes dyslexics suffer it is English with its lawless way of spelling. The ones who call educated and great professors of English should think of ways of mending defective ways English words are spelled. They should do extensive research how much dyslexic students would be less stressed if they changed the weird rules of English spellings without any delay. Let the English language not remain a medieval language that is never tired of making fun of about 20% of population and ruining their lives because they spell the words more naturally.

You should read up on Tom Cruz. He has severe dyslexia and he found ways to compensate memorizing lines from a script.

​@@Serve24 I'm a singer and have no problems memorising the words of songs. I have a good photographic memory. It's reading to myself and reading out loud I struggle with. I've been rejected from acting parts because my reading is terrible when having to read out loud live from the script at rehearsals. I'm slow, and fumble when reading. I also find myself reading/pronouncing words that aren't even in scripts or articles. When I'm reading a long article, I find myself losing concentration and drifting off from what I'm reading to something else in my mind... Then I'll get so far...and find out I didn't absorb what I was supposed to have read - so have to read it all over, again.

Can someone explain me this pls 20% entrepreneur are dislexic.. which means 80% are not .. Which means 1 in every 5 entrepreneur is dislexic Which is the normal ratio of dislexic to non dislexic So how does being dislexic means that you have a better chance at being an entrepreneur?
