Why the dyslexic brain is misunderstood

Dyslexia was debilitating for me in my early years. After a few years in a program for dyslexics, I was able to actually read without freezing. That gave me the confidence to realize that everyone had their own intellectual strengths and that I was also part of that.

My 11 year old is dyslexic and still has to sound out simple words but can get up in front of a huge crowd and do creative improv!

At school all i got was hes lazy hes got no concentration had to go to special needs classes and all the stigma that goes with it and even when I left school I couldn't read properly. It wasn't until I was probably 20 and I sat down and made myself read lord of the rings and I got into reading that way. But to this day I still can't read properly and my writing's terrible but I'm good at my job. I'm scaffolder so I problem solve everyday Which I think helps me cuz I can see the picture of what I need to put up before I have to do it

This video is so good!! 🔥I relate so much. It is hard to explain to other how I see and feel things… but do not see letters in a straight line, and spelling has always been a struggle,.. but I am a whole picture, feeling and picturing person. I comprehend things better than many … in a different way… seeing, feeling, taking it all in.

If reading is only 6000 years old, how is it there's sites like Gobekli Tepi, and other sites, with primitive writing? These sites are well over 10,000 years old.

Maybe their brain or soul is wired to the 4 dimention somehow, look at the first cube then google 4d cube <3

due to dyslexia and teachers not understanding i was held back in ALL Classes until 2 months before study leave before GCSE's, managed to get a C in math, E in english but an A in graphic design

my dyslexic mind focusses on the music ,and like american movies the music never stops.. .. did i just invent the mute music button? only then i can focus on the content, thanks!

This makes me wonder if the same goes for Audio Processing Disorder, which is—very basically—dyslexia for speech.

Omg, i strongly suspect i am dyslexic but not tested. When i studied chemistry i discovered i could picture and rotate molecules in my head. Just like described at the start.

God does not make mistakes.

I didn't realise that dyslexia is hereditary. I am dyslexic, but neither of my parents are, and none of my four children are either.
For years, I've been confused as to why it takes people so much longer to absorb details in the physical world than it takes me. I can walk in a room and memorise every detail almost instantly. This video explains that.
Then I watch my wife read, and she can finish a book in under a day, but it will take me a day to finish a chapter because I have to re-read every sentence numerous times just to decipher what is written. The dyslexic setting on my Kindle makes no difference to my reading speed, but I did see a text type for Austism that put the first two letters in a word in bold text that made reading significantly faster for me. I want that on Kindle.
Brains are funny things.

5:19 I believe that is the left, not the right, hemisphere that has been highlighted.

I have struggled a lot on almost being outcasted on lower schools in the Netherlands, teachers giving up on me. So much that I had to redo 1th class lower grade and went skipping school at age 8.
Till I got diagnosed with dyslexia on age 12. Changed to a Waldorf school, got treated by a pedologic institute and after years of extra classes, I could come by on reading and spelling. Turns out to have IQ tests of over 140, bad with formulas, but good with numbers, practical mind and an extremely developed 3D visualization. Against all odds after that I did 9 years of study, got a double degree in science and got head hunted by managers for my special work performances as an intern.
Now in my 40ies I am a specialist on my field, freelancer and 3D CAD designer. But still struggle already over 15 years learning Spanish as my 5th language. 😉

Intelligence often spiritually described as a way to break down pieces of a problem or puzzles and solve them, wisdom is to be able to see the whole and know how to understand it.

In illogical sequences I have a memory for four digits. I have real issues learning phone numbers. In fact when I was tested I'm in the lower 16% (Which is basically mentally handicapped). However my overall intelligence is 99.7% (I have an IQ of 145). While I love reading, I read in paragraphs not words essentially. Takes me a night to read a 1000 page novel. (thank you dad for reading to me every night and giving me a passion for the adventure on the page, enough to persevere enough to work around my issues and learn to read, albeit reading in a different way to most!)
But I can't spell to save my life (anything over four letters gives me issues) Most of the time I have to edit what I write because I cant spell the words I want to use. School, I didn't do well at all until I was tested and was allowed a scribe (the same as someone the broke their writing hand for example). Suddenly I went I went from last in the year to top. Unfortunately the testing was done in the final two years of school and I really had little interest in school by then and left as soon as I could. However I can honestly say I have been extremely successful in life. I think because of the different way my mind worked, Not in love though 😝😝😝!

Yes I do ask questions
