I was always called a slow learner from my teachers and from family and I say that about myself. I had no idea that dyslexia had all these other symptoms. I am like 90% sure I have dyslexia. My only question is why haven’t any teacher diagnosed me with it? I am 26 years old, I struggled in school my whole life and almost didn’t even graduate. Why am I just hearing about this now?? I am literally so shocked I have no words. Thank you for making this video.

I always read numbers, store the image of it in my head, then say the wrong number.

I am 34, and I still struggle with remembering most of the things. I have poor time management skills. I avoid reading, because it's hard to understand the meaning of sentences. I have very low confidence. I make a lot of pronunciation and spelling mistakes. I hope I will be able to take proper help soon.

I’m starting to see the signs. I always thought I was lazy. I was diagnosed to Learning Disability classes as a child. All my life I thought I was dumb. Thank you for sharing.

[Califreshswagg]

I have so many of these symptoms but have never been diagnosed with dyslexia until my mother told me I might be

[tjm]

I had the first ten sign effects, I’ve learned so much about myself since realizing I was might not be ADD etc. (misdiagnosed) Now I can go to sleep happily knowing more about myself then I did yesterday. Good Luck too you all!

My first language was Spanish but when I entered school I was taught to speak English. Now that I am older I have trouble speaking both languages. I barely can’t speak or even write Spanish. My English is way better though but I have trouble reading out loud and writing and sometimes even understanding things but I have a pretty good memory. Anyways many teachers forced me to take lower/special classes for like my whole elementary and middle school year. I know they were just trying to help me out but for my whole life I felt small I felt like I was dumb slow and just unteachable. I was always frustrated with myself and I was always disappointed with myself but I knew I didn’t belong too these types of classes so when I started high school I told myself that I had to make big changes for myself. So I did I got myself out of those classes and put myself in some Ap classes and graduated with straight A’s which was crazy because many teachers didn’t believed that I would have gotten this close to graduate in my life they believed mostly like that I would have dropped out but I didn’t. But then something happened in my life which I was so mad about. Throughout my whole life I struggles with learning and understanding in school but I worked really hard and never quit. It bothered me so much to be looked down on by other students and even teachers like in my being years of sophomore year I had this English teacher that literally told my counselor that I didn’t belong in her classes because this new teaching program (ERWC) would be difficult for me to understand and teach. Note this the teacher never asked me anything about her class like if I had issues or if I needed help and so one day my counselor called me into her office and told me that if I wanted to switch out because teachers recommended me to switch out because it might be too difficult for me to be in her class I was like why? I so confused because I had a B in her class so I told my counselor how would I have a problem learning in that class if I’m passing it. I couldn’t believe it I was so mad because I was so quick to be judged cause of my learning disability like I didn’t even wanted to tell my parents because it would only make them worry more for me so this class had me so stressed out and anxious all the time but I passed her dumb class with a A+ and I wanted to saying something to the teacher at the end of that year’s but I didn’t and I regret it so much. Anyways I was doing the impossible passing all my classes every year with straight A’s then I got close to graduation and boom COVID-19 happened and I never got an actual graduation and actually experience the moment of graduating and just being so proud of myself and happy for myself like all that hard work was just for nothing. It was a shame because I suffered a lot throughout my school year and I never truly got to see my hard work payed off (I graduated this year 2020). Anyways it’s doesn’t matter anymore to me the point is no matter how much you fail or obstacles god puts you through never stop believing in yourself because one day you are going to look back and see how successful you can become. Don’t let people label you or put you down in a category just because you have trouble doing things or understand just be yourself and keep your head up. I hope someone read this and be inspired because I know I am dyslexic but it’s not going to stop me from being successful in life. I’m happy that I fail and struggle in life because I can always learn from my mistakes and become better. I hope one day I could help out people with leaning disabilities like myself and just left them up from there struggles in life.

I'm 28, and have always been a slow learner and thought I had it. I struggled so much in school and wondering why I couldn't comprehend certain concepts and thought I was just stupid 😔

[makeit]

ohh man! I'm super dyslexic! I also always get left and right mixed up when talking. Even up and down, or increase and decrease sometimes... I am surprised because I never had issues studying... the fact that I can only read very slow has helped my to think faster than what I can read. Maybe I am just lucky that I chose a technical field.

[auryanna_]

Im diagnosed with dyslexia but I’m still watching this to see if I have the symptoms💀

I'm 19, but I found out I was dyslexic when I was about 8 years old. I kind of forgot about it until middle school because it never really became a part of my identity. I knew language arts was always gonna be difficult, especially taking notes as fast as everyone else & the dreaded reading :( . Eventually, I just got over it, ya know like this is gonna be the rest of my life so I might as well figure out what I like and stick to it.

Luckily I like math and am pretty good at sports, so that keeps me occupied. Also, half way through high school I left, and went to do online/home school. I would recommend this to anyone, I mean it, without the distractions of other students and the fear (your fear)/hesitation. I went from a 'B'/'C' student to a 3.75 my junior year (because I had 1 'B'), and graduated as a valedictorian for my class. Basically I have just accepted that life will be a little bit harder for me in these areas, and by accepting I no longer have that fear of reading aloud, or even something ridiculous like being afraid of passing on your jeans.

[tracyjones]

I've always had trouble with math. I have most of the things she explained. We lack of confidence cause, humanity is cruel and we have observed this it is why we try to keep it to ourselves. I still don't know how to cope with it, found out about it in a class in college and my parents never knew about. It is difficult to cope with some times specially when you are talking in one language and thinking on another to top it with a cherry.

[seewendy]

Actually this made me depressed, I know I was dyslexic but I really hate that I have this.

[gutz]

I am borderline dyslexic it turns out. I have like 4.5 of these. In that a few of them are "sorta" answers. Had I been tested as a kid, I would have definitely been labeled dyslexic. But I think after years of just writing stories, a novel and screenplays, I kinda broke a lot of my habits or at least broke them down. Had my parents not been poor migrants who worked all day and had no time for their kids, they may have spotted it. Hell, I was not fully convinced until I recently started doing voice narration and noticed I think of other words when I read. I feel though, narrating my videos is getting better. Writing more and more helps, but words I don't often use are the ones I misspell. Like neighbor, I never get that word right. Ah well. I am who I am, along with Anxiety, I now have Dyslexia to boot. Made it to 40 this way, may as well keep going.

This is why I need to own my own business.

Text-to-speech extentions for chrome has helped me with productivity and comprehension. I recently got diagnosed with adhd and, I would not be surprised if I have dyslexia too. Reading is so freaking hard, listening is more enjoyable. Yeey for text-to-speech applications and audiobooks🙏

[Hey-ehkg]

I’m honestly very lucky to of had a grandmother that was a teacher. We did a lot of hooked on phonics. She even paid for me to go to the Sylvan learning Center. I remember reading half a page and her reading half a page. Eventually I would read a chapter and she would read a chapter 💕 god I miss that woman. I wouldn’t be able to read if it wasn’t for her.

[ej]

Training actually helped me... Mom made sure I got the best.

[ruthlessjones]

The fact that I’m avoiding a writing assignment because the formatting is probably not a good sign. And I checked about 10 of those boxes

[jimmyarmijo]

Boy, I might be dyslexic. You can tell me instructions, in two minutes or so, I'll forget half what you told me 😥. But I'm glad I have a s-pen on my Note 10+ 🤣.
When I read a book 📖, I love reading, I sometimes have to go back over what I've just read. So times I have to read the entire paragraph just I can comprehend what I'm reading 📚 🙃.
Writing is ok. Sometimes I have to write the word out, just to make sure I spelled it right ✅️.
