Dyslexia, also known as reading disorder, is characterized by trouble with reading despite normal intelligence.[1][6] Different people are affected to different degrees.[3] Problems may include difficulties in spelling words, reading quickly, writing words, "sounding out" words in the head, pronouncing words when reading aloud and understanding what one reads.[3][7] Often these difficulties are first noticed at school.[2] When someone who previously could read loses their ability, it is known as "alexia".[3] The difficulties are involuntary and people with this disorder have a normal desire to learn.[3] People with dyslexia have higher rates of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), developmental language disorders, and difficulties with numbers.[2][8][9]

Dyslexia is believed to be caused by the interaction of genetic and environmental factors.[2] Some cases run in families.[3] Dyslexia that develops due to a traumatic brain injury, stroke, or dementia is called "acquired dyslexia".[1] The underlying mechanisms of dyslexia are problems within the brain's language processing.[3] Dyslexia is diagnosed through a series of tests of memory, vision, spelling, and reading skills.[4] Dyslexia is separate from reading difficulties caused by hearing or vision problems or by insufficient teaching or opportunity to learn.[2]

Treatment involves adjusting teaching methods to meet the person's needs.[1] While not curing the underlying problem, it may decrease the degree or impact of symptoms.[10] Treatments targeting vision are not effective.[11] Dyslexia is the most common learning disability and occurs in all areas of the world.[12] It affects 3–7% of the population,[2][5] however, up to 20% of the general population may have some degree of symptoms.[13] While dyslexia is more often diagnosed in men,[2] it has been suggested that it affects men and women equally.[12] Some believe that dyslexia should be best considered as a different way of learning, with both benefits and downsides.[14][15]

I wish it was mandatory for schools in the US to make you take a test for dyslexia in First or Second grade, i didn’t find out until two years ago in 9th grade… My academic carrier would be extremely different if i had known from early. Ever since second to 10th grade my grades were always rock bottom and i struggled on school especially with Math and anything reading related.

I had a chance to be diagnosed earlier on but my school was garbage so I didn't get proper acknowledgement. Not only did I not get help but they actively prevented me from getting any help when it was obvious that I needed help. They used stupid excuses like it wouldn't be fare to the other kids for me to get printed notes or assignments adjusted to help me actually learn. I moved around to different schools a lot but none of the other schools had an idea of the issues. Most of the other alternative schools were so reading heavily which is one of the things I struggled with the most. So I'm pretty sure my grammar is still terrible but going back and looking at it now is still a struggle and gives me those sinking feelings all over again. So now that I actually know what the deal is I'm looking into it. It makes me really want to help people like me even though I still haven't got myself the help I need yet because of how much of a struggle it all has been.

I am dyslexic but my friends always think am smarter than them. I think my main problem is spelling and pronouncing strange words...

My family never told me what I have wrong with me. I was bullied and they never even tryed to help me. They didn't push me to do my homework. They didn't help me. I'd always wonder why my grades was bad. Theb they put me in an iep so I could never flunk. Even if I didn't do my work. No one pushed me. I in a way was not educated. I feel bad for it. I feel left out. I put myself down. Belive that im nothing. Then I hear others on YouTube be saying oh we are smarter. .... I dont see it. Its not fun and I wish I wasn't born with it. To know now it runs thru the family jeans. If im to have a kid he or she will probably have it. 😭 I dont want them to suffer with what I have gone through

Hey people,
I want to share a story with you all.. so few years back a 7 year old girl came to me for tuitions.. basically her mother forced her to do that.. first few weeks she didn't like me at all.. she had zero interest in studies.. she had a problem in reading and writing.. but she never admitted that to anyone.. her mother used to beat and scold for her behaviour.. she never played with her friends in school... So 1day her mother came to me nd said that she got zero in Every subject.. I was worried cause I never dealt with such situation like this before.. every student of mine they are pretty good in studies..that time i had no idea what to do..but deep down I knew I had to do something.. though I am not a doctor..but i tried to find solution..i searched on the internet about this then i asked few of my doctor friends about this.. but all of them suggested me to consult a councillor.. but that process was very expensive for that family.. so me nd her mother tried new things for her... 1st i tried to be friends with her.. i used to tell her stories and showed her few cartoon videos on my computer.. after few days she started sharing things.. then i started new methods like writing on sand( found videos on YouTube) writing on floor with chalk, alphabet puzzle games etc.. she used to type sentence on my computer.. each day after my class I used to save extra time for her.. i played with her did absolutely everything whatever I felt like is going to help her.. and in this process her mother helped me a lot.. she was patient and calm.. and after 2years of struggle finally our hard work paid of.. she got 67% in 4th standard.. and now she's in 6th standard.. she faced a lot in school and in other places too.. but now she can read and write properly.. she takes part in writing competition in school.. though the result of the competition doesn't matter to us.. what matters the most is her self confidence.. she is confident enough to face any challenges now I guess.. and yes she still comes to me for tuitions everyday..now we both are like sisters.. she call me didi.. after class we still play with sand and puzzle..
So all I wanted to say to all the people whoever reading this please be patient with your child, every child is different, if you are a well to do person or can bare the expenses then go for counseling and if you are not the try method at home.. I'm sure it'll work.. ❤️❤️

[gwenshaina]

I have a 9 year old sister that is having trouble understanding some words, learning new topics, and I've also noticed that she really gets frustrated by this because she really wants to learn and understand. She tells me that she easily forgets stuff and she is having trouble understanding their lesson. I have been trying my best to help and understand her but sometimes we both just get frustrated on how it goes. I really wanna help my sister, we just recently been orphaned since our mother died last year and we don't get support from our dad. I'm also still studying and my time is split between helping my siblings and working on my responsibilities in supporting our small family financially. Can I get tips or some methods on how I can improve helping my sister with her studies and on how I can better understand her? She is also very good in drawing and pretty much doing art but when it comes to tough subjects like math or language it is hard for her.

I feel bad to my cousin that Im always telling him to learn to read and scold him ciz I thought he just so lazy at learning. The symptoms shows just prove his a dyslexia person. I always believe he just lazy and just so addicted to games maybe I treated him hard. But not as hard as his parents lmao they can't even seems to care about his condition. His about to enter highschool and I was so disappointed that I thought in his age he could at least read especially our mother tongue is easier than English. I should pay more attention to proof if his really dyslexia. Thank you for the info really appreciated it.

[johnrudge]

Spelling and bad short term memory is pain in the ass I have mastered reading

[peterlawrence]

I struggled in all areas except reading writing comprehension is a little above average. I love reading writing letters and cross words.maths very basic can't .follow a map
No sense of direction always getting lost
As a child slow to tie shoe laces colour in . Both fine and gross motors skill were crappy, still are. I can not explain why I struggle in all these areas but don't have dyslexia. Even someone who belongs to mensa will make the accausional spelling mistake
I have a few family members who have dyslexia and believe me it's a lot harder to cope with them getting lost in the shopping mall.
