Have you ever known someone with dyslexia?

I have a learning disability so yes I do know many people with dyslexia I don't have it but I do have hard time reading and writing. I really hate it when people point out my mistakes when it comes to my writing. My husband loves to use big words and it drives me nuts because I don't understand him. I can use some big words but those are the ones I understand and I know what they mean. For most people this is genetic.

My son's had a friend who was dyslexic. He had special classes to help him with his studies. Now he specializes in auto body work. He is great at it too.

There was a guy working at the same company as I was a few years ago who claimed to be dyslexic, but I had serious doubts about it myself. He had access to a computer and often sent internal emails to staff at other sites. His spelling was absolutely atrocious, although personally I believe that he was too lazy to learn. It was not uncommon for him to send out emails and insist that he was not to blame for certain mistakes due to being dyslexic, but I found it very suspicious that he always spelled dyslexic correctly.

I am dyslexic. I am not ashamed to admit it to anyone that i have dyslexia and i have difficulty reading most especially numbers in succession.

I have never known anyone with it.

Yes, I've worked with children with dyslexia and they're given a longer duration during tests because of their difficulty reading and writing. They often develop a low self esteem because of their learning difficulty and they need lots of love and encouragement!

I don't know anyone with dsxyliea. I have seen a friend always sharing information on Facebook about it, that's how I learned more about it.

I don't know anyone with that. When I make a typo I sometimes joke and say I have it.

yepperz, that's why i've a aqua screen cover. puts schtuff where they oughta be. makes readin' schtuff'n blue diff'cult, but much easier'n the eyes...'n brain.

I never realized that was it was like to be dyslexic.... No wonder it's so hard to read

I know a few people with dyslexia. Most are successful, but it still shows up in their writing, in my experience.

I could read it, but stopped after a couple seconds because it was annoying to say the least. I knew someone who had dyslexia. I met her in college. She told me she had a hard time reading, I had no idea how hard until I tried reading that. It's awful!

And I guess it remained undetected for so long because no one would think of asking 'do the letters move'. Many manage very well now although it must still be very difficult.

I myself have dyslexia. Everyone thibhs about dyslexia and thibhs the suffer is simply unable to spell. It's so much more than than - the brain of dyslexic person works differant from the brain of a person who does not have dyslexia. I watched a clip on YouTube with explain this too the tee. Basically if you imagine you are playing a card game were you have to match the cards. A non dyslexic persons cards are orderly and faced up. But the mind of a dyslexics area are faces down and scattered in no order. Therefor to match a pair of cards the no suffer can easily spot 2 the same in seconds, however someone with dyslexia has to shift thou all the incorrect cards first to find a pair. The dyslexia person and the non dyslexia person will eventually get the same result - however the dyslexia person will take longer to figer it out. It's also very common that dyslexia people can't start thibhs mid chain. Were an bin suffer will most likely be able to start saying the alphabet mid way thou with no struggle, a dyslexic person will most likely need to start from A.

I had a friend who married a man with dyslexia and he couldn't even fill out a form for a job. He told me in school he was passed because of his athletic abilities and he even said he went back to his high school to talk to the couch about how his being passed from grade to grade was not a good thing. It was sad because he didn't even have the enjoyment of being able to read a book.

I have know someone with dyslexia. It's very challenging to deal with.

oh I had a time and could read some and a lot I could not. The poor person so Im glad if there are ways that they can learn to read.I knew one woman an she got a j ob shelving books in the library a huge huge mistake a real disaster that took me hours to reshelve them in the right correct order.They put her on the kids side shelving books by abc and that did it.such a mess. They had to let her g o. she never got anyhelp with it.She actually refused to get any help.what on earth does low blood sugar h av to do with dyslexia? not a thing that I can see

Yes, a lifelong friend has dyslexia.

When I was at school a boy in my class was diagnosed with dyslexia. He went to a special school for a year and then came back to my school. Despite his dyslexia he was always very clever and today he's a professor with a string of degrees and awards.
