  • It's great to see so many great people getting to do such great things with dyslexia, it makes you feel like you can really do anything! I suddenly don't feel so alone or dumb as my teachers in 4th-10th grade called me...

  • @ georgeNconrad

    If you're going to talk shit, you might as well educate yourself first! No one wants to waste their time listening to ignorance. People like you don't fit in with the rest of the world and feel better bashing those who already have a hard life. Fuck off and leave dyslexics alone!

  • thank u for this video it bring tears to my eyes cause am dyslexia and jay leno is my star,am in grade 11 halfway done,my teachers and my own parents can believe that they don't believe me that am dyslexia,it's be really hard going throw school,being dyslexia the one thing sticks to u being dyslexia and for me is classic cars and hard work right now am owney one with money in bank and am buying 79 trans am all by myself but sides that it's hard being dyslexia so no how feels like,

  • i wonder who are the eleven people who disliked that video?? stupid teachers i guess...

  • Great video. I found loads of great recent stories on dyslexic people overcoming obstacle – search for “My Dyslexia Life Story” – there are amazing stories.

  • My son is Dyslexic! He has had to have one one one help with learning since he has been at school. He has always had a hard time and suffered because of this. Being a mother, if your child hurts, or anyone you love is hurting, it hurts you , just as much, but, no one could be more prouder of him , than I am, as I am of you !

  • @MissTottyRocks Your son is lucky to have a parent like you. I hope we could help all children around the world.

  • It's about Dyslexia but you have to read the entire thing! How about a version for dyslexics?

  • @groovemachinemx1 Stop being lazy, dyslexic, just read what it says omfg

  • Comment removed

  • I was also embarrassed by my math teacher in 8th grade, I was too busy day dreaming- then he called upon me to answer a problem. I was unable to answer the math problem, but I believe my deviation from understanding was well justified considering the fact that I was taking classes in my second language and with only 4 years of mediocre previous experience. I learned English from video games, subtitles on movies, etc- not at school. Not much useful info did I gain at school.

  • THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS...I WAS TOLD AS A CHILD THAT I WAS BRIGHT..BUT I JUST DIDN'T TRY HARD EBOUGH...YET I WAS WORKING TWICE AS HARD TO KEEP UP WITH MY CLASSMATES...MY PARENTS COULDN'T UNDERSTAND..WHY MY GRADES WERE ALWAYS LOW..

    AS AN ADULT...MEETING SOMEONE AND HAVING THEM MAKE FUN OF YOU ISN'T EASY EITHER....THEY THINK THAT I'M STUPID B/C I HAVE TROUBLE WITH SPELLING AND THAT I'M A SLOW READER..

    IT'S GOOD TO KNOW THAT I'M NOT ALONE WITH THIS WAY OF LIFE... :D

    THANKS 4 THE POST!... ;D

  • @maryhadalittlelamb25 DO YOU LIKE TYPING IN CAPS TOO? I LOVE CAPS

    IM DYSLEXIC TOO :)

    AND I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS AS YOU ....ITS NICE TO KNOW THAT IM NOT ALONE :)

  • but the most prolific inventor of all time was Kia Silverbrook

  • the mohammed ali one was pretty funny, even though im dyslexic it took me like 15 minutes to read this and comprehend this video.

  • .leef I woh enigami tsuj ,aixelsyd htiw emit dab a evah UOY kniht uoy fI

  • Thank you for this... I'm constantly ridiculed for my spelling... it doesn't hurt anymore I've learned to adapt... spell check helps.. but it doesn't cure it... Your movie helps... thank you for the understanding.

  • nikola tesla was the most prolific inventor of all time.

  • the people who pressed dislike are idiots

    we should respect the people who had dyslexia and generally everyone

    imagine if you where bullied because you had a problem or the maid fun because your skin colour and nationality is different

  • @nichtou1 good reply

  • i have dyslexia and almost all my teachers were against me and ignored my condition. i'm bullied, and yelled at by mean students and some teachers. bullys steal and cheat from me. i have short term memory and couldnt remmeber the tteachings they gave me. and couldnt remmeber my friends name.

    this is the worst part of being asian. we are poor and couldnt afford therepy and such.

  • Pete Conrad commander or Apollo 12 was dyslexic and that didn’t stop him from stepping foot onto the moon.

  • I have little memory of standing in front of class and asked to read out. I knew I wasn’t bright at reading and writing. Today Microsoft Word helps me swiftly and often confidently type out a simple or sometimes complex amount of words.

    There is nothing to be ashamed about being dyslexic. Never underestimate the person standing next to you, or why not just lend a helping hand, it can go a long way and make a lot of difference.

  • i remember back in ninth grade the teacher asked me to read a sentance in front of the whole class. I couldn't. I then got humiliated in front of my whole friends and the teacher told I was a baby. It just hurt me that the teacher whos "suppose to know everything" thinks that way about me. I hated that teacher ever since. Its just that he made me feel like I was an idiot and couldn't achive anything.

    I'll find him after i graduate from engineering school to shove my diploma in his face!

  • @2Garyable

    Almost exact same story as mines..

    I was diagnosed with dyslexic (learning disability) in 3rd grade. Whenever middle school came around, my teachers though I was completely useless and would never achieve my particular dreams. High school eventually came around the corner, and teachers had strong faint in my abilities since I was top fast learner in my class. Dropped out of high school went back to college got (GED) now mastering at an university with computer science degree.

  • All those "teachers" sound like complete pricks.

  • i had to change to 6 diffrent schools because of my dyslexia and adhd

    teachers always insulted me kept at saying that im stupid, dumb made me repeat a year bullied me

    and at the end i proved them all wrong by showing them that i still got faith in my self

  • I am one of the lucky ones that found help at a young-ish age. from 1-5 grade, EVERY DAY I would wake up saying "do I have to go to school today?" and every day come home and cry in my moms arms about how it was so hard I didn't see the point.

    I learned my brain is weird differently (In my opinion better, lol) and that it wasn't my fault not being able to read a book. But that horrible HORRIBLE pain you get, right in the middle of your forehead, when your so exhausted you just don't care anymore

  • Wow that gives me hope! I had to paus the video a lot lol.

  • 80% of ppl climb's over a walls 20% fail to. that 20% larn to dig holes... build laders, and other wise find a difrent route to solve the problem, I am Dyslexic and probed to by one of the 20% that sees the world difrently. any one reading this who is like me and is bullyed at school for beening slow, trust me theres a spark inside you worth all there waight in gold.

  • im lucky i have 5 friends including me who are dyslexic , i shows how it affects certain people , in shows what subjects we find hard and the answer for me in every single one , it takes over my life i could spend up to 7 hours studying and remeber nothing! i dont understand what the teacher say in irish , i shouldnt be doing Irish be my school is forcing me to do i subject that i will fail!

  • at my school i am one of about 10 who have dyslexia and if you do then you get ridiculed not only by you friends but by the teachers. i remember on my first biology class we were reading tet books and i couldnt read them, so i told my teacher and got sent to the headmistress for it as i shouldnt be in school with 'normal' people :(

  • @dannijessie my school was the same, I read somewhere that we read in pattens and colours, and "normal" is borning anyway.

  • OMG so touching.....i cried

  • Y put such fast text in this video when U KNOW DYSLEXIC PPL R GONNA HAVE A HARD TIME KEEPING UP WITH IT??? lol i had to stop it too many times 

  • SO MANY IMPOSTERS OUT THERE!

  • can someone read me the video i'm dyslexic.

    LOL just want to point out that this video is like having a silent film for the blind!

  • @UFOnerd1 No shit. I had to stop the video every time words came up. Stupid dyslexia. The video is 4 min right? It took me at least 10 min to read it. Grrr.

  • I think it's an insult to put alert einstein and tom cruise on the same video

  • i watched this video and began to cry but not because of all the famus people with my same lerning problem. but because i couldent read the text it was going by to fast

  • @bergerINK I know how you feel.... I paused the video every time...

  • amazing and inspiring video. can anybody tell me the name of the song at 2:51 ?

  • @TheRejoice7 Le Dernier Orage - Opus Magnum Phase 1

  • @dmitchy1 thank you soooo much!

  • @TheRejoice7 even better man, try 'Garageband Loop - Pendulum'

  • i wonder why Dyslexia (had to copy that word) is so hard to whrite and read btw the guy who found out that he dinosaurs evolutioniced into birds have Dyslexia

  • i think that its bullshit we shouldnt be judged just because we have dyslexia we are all specail in every way and for us its being dyslexic and being dyslexic comes with a gift so keep talkin all you want the voice of dyslexics will be heard

  • wow when i saw all people in this video i just got this chill down me. i am dyslexic.

  • Im dyslexic but when you suceed it shows that you have worked harder than almost anyone else to have a good job and become famous even if people who arn't dyslexic have better grades in mathematics and so on

  • to bad you had to be able to read this. other than that a great message

  • 2:32 what kind of teacher does that?

  • thank god i still have hope. if they can do good that means i can my life is not over! thank god!!!!!  godbless

  • im glad im dyslexic theres positive things about dyslexia we have vivid imaginations very inuitive and so on

  • @greco0994 amen to that. im dyslexic, my reading and writing sucks, but i love guitar and creating art.

  • I wish normal people felt what we dyslexics go through while reading.

  • This gave me hope =)

  • i have no reading problems before or even now. the only thing is, I find it so hard to comprehend in reading complicated matters (like reading deep books, subjects math) i also often got this "short term memory loss". like when i wanted to tell something and someone interferes, then in a second i forget what i am suppose to say. it's like my idea is fading away and I can't control it to stop. then it's all gone and i can't remember anything .. am i sick or am i just dumb and stupid?? PLS HELP!

  • @soulfie I'm the same way too.

  • i hate the ignoroent comments where people say just accept your thick, no because we arent and if we did we wouldnt be beleving in ourselves and giving up, no one is thick, dumb, stupid. We are all clever and talented but just not identically as the next person. We all have amazing talents, i love to paint but another person might hate painting. BELEIVE IN YOURSELVES AND YOU WILL ACHEIVE YOUR GOAL, NEVER GIVE UP AND KEEP TRYING, CHASE YOUR DREAM AND YOU WILL CATCH IT

  • i am dyslexic with numbers (dyscalculea) and my mum and dad dont think i am dyslexic i think i am a little bit like what tom cruise said i read things and dont even remember what they just said so i have to red the same thing about 3 or 4 times to understand it, i see words how the originally are but i see parts of the word brighter than the rest and i see the word change but it doesnt move but i still see it changing i cant describe it help?

  • Just an excuse for being a fuckin retard if you ask me. Just admit that you are thick as fuck and everyone will probably respect you more.

  • @TheTrimmTrab

    I don't know if you even watched this video at all or maybe you're just too narrow minded to actually see it. Albert Einsteinis is A globaly regocnised genius. You think Thomas Edison was an idiot? You think Churchill earned respect because he said he was dumb? You think Richard Branson is Thick? Being dyslexic dosn't make you a genius. But is dosn't make you an idiot. Do you know what does? Being ignorant and condesending and discriminating like you.

  • FACT: Dyslexics are smarter than the average human. Once we learn/understand something we are a CHAMPION at it!

    SO FOR ALL WHO THINK US DYSLEXICS ARE STUPID WATCH THE VIDEO ONE MORE TIME!!! CAUSE IT SEEMS TO ME !YOU! WERE TO STUPID TO GET THE POINT OF THIS VIDEO!!!

  • im 15 and i think that we are not any of the above i think we are gifted because all of those people were people that were on that vid enjoy art, drama, ect and they were very creative and enjoyed doing pratical things. The chances are that most of these people would not have the tallent they do if they weren't dyslexic.

  • I wish that every dyslexic child could have money for toutoring at a young age the way i did before i became poor. My teachers told me i was stupid, dumb, not trying, a troubble maker. Some teachers got mad at me for being slower than other students on my tests and hw.

  • I was always maligned in life (still am). I am dyslexic. Dyslexia isn't who i am. It's a part of me that I just have to live with. Half my family has dyslexia. My family is succesful. I'm still young (20). I wish that every dyslexic child could have money for toutoring at a young age the way i did before i became poor. My teachers told me i was stupid, dumb, not trying, a troubble maker.

  • i take it you have dyslexia cause some of your writing is a little of

  • wasn't helen keller dyslexic?

  • @Ljokerz You have no sense of punctuation.

  • @fuckcasey thanks ;)

  • @fuckcasey thanks

  • Turns out my father had dyslexia when he was in school and was labeled stupid. Dyslexia is genetic and I got it. I have 3 different cases of it, I over think things way too much. Easy stuff is hard for me and harder stuff is so easy I love it. I found out my freshman year of college that I had dyslexia, it made a lot of sense after me and my family found out. I'm still in college to this day and Ace all my geology classes or get B+ in them. Math is a different story. Going to take Algebra again.

  • I haven't been diagnosed with dislexie, mum refuses to believe that thereis a chance i have it. Ive done tests online, and although my spelling isnt too bad and nor is my writing, I struggle to read aloud, and stutter and find it hard to say what i think. I dont know if its part of dislexie or not, but im often stuck with my school work and i fail to write things like PEE paragraphs. I awlays feel stupid...is anybody else like this? ;l

  • @xxNinjaEll I am the same way. I hated reading in public because I would stumble over words. I could read the words in front of me but I didn't know what they meant. My mom had me take the test for dyslexia and turns out I have around 3 different cases of it. I'm in college now studying to be a geophysicist. In elementary school I felt dumb, alone, and an outcast and wondered why I couldn't do what everyone else was doing.

  • @TheMsJessicaNapier Well, i hope its going great now :)xx Remember its a gift :)

  • @xxNinjaEll how is not being able to spell a gift?

  • @Shinsqooq Loads of people say it ;o And, maybe not being able to spell isnt a gift, but the creativity is, and how a lot of people with dyslexia's minds are more open and they think in a different way, a good way x

  • @xxNinjaEll yes

  • I used to love growing up with a dyslexic father.

    Whenever I swore, he'd wash my mouth out with soup.

  • Anyone know where i can get the background music from?

  • I don't really have it in the sense that I have trouble reading (although I am rather slow), but whenever I am nervous and talking I mix up letters in words. And example "She is on a frain in Trance." This was a few days ago, and it was quite funny. Sometimes I switch around words when reading, writing, and speaking, but never when I am singing. Dyslexia isn't all that bad. You just have to learn how to learn your way around it.

  • @MelonBreadHead How to WORK your way around it.

  • People that have ''Dyslexia'' are stupid like hell, they can't do anything.

  • this video make me cry realy i am...thats what all say to me...i was dum stuped nobody wants me.....

    and know im one of the best magician in mexico tijuana

  • @Otakuconaguacate Dood...I'm crying right now too! I'm 16 and I think one of greatest thing about Dyslexia is knowing what your weaknesses are. Once you know that anything is possible

  • i always used to cry if i couldnt read or rember stuff i hated everything changed im gonna be doin A levels next year i hope i will :)

  • @vishy6 *remember-doing

  • @xkillem109 I WROTE IT FAST SOZZ

  • i suffered from dyslexic but now ive changed my maths my english science has all improved. :) i hated suffering from this sydrome.

  • Thank you

    

  • For all of you out there who are dyslexic, please know that there IS help. I am a trained tutor who works with dyslexic children. I use the Orton-Gillingham method to help people with dyslexia learn how to manage their reading/spelling and writing challenges. It is VERY effective. If you can find someone who is highly trained in this method, you can greatly improve your reading skills. Good luck to you all. Hang in there!

  • I am dyslexic I only found out last summer. I am 15 & I always had trouble in school..reading & understanding what I just read. Teachers told my mom and dad at meetings that I could not read that I was stupid. I could feel even in kindergarten that I was different. I would always have 2 stay in at recess 2 catch up on work. I would be at my desk then look out the window seeing all my friends outside having fun on the playground , I would always say when I saw them outside having fun with me.."

  • this made me cry, but it gave me a little more confidence to keep trying my best.

  • Comment removed

  • I just cry when I hear or see someone say you're too dumb to learn. And I hate hearing that, I hear people make fun ofthem and I just wanna stand up and jackslap them.

  • 9 people are dislike-sics.

  • I have Dylexia my self and it sucks.  Im in college, I'm think to quit because its soo bull shit.

  • the first time i watched this video it made me cry

  • I love this video as it gives me some of my confidence back while studying at university.

    Thanks for the reminder.

  • We all must Dyslexia fight!

  • I don't have dyslexia but this video made me realize that people with it are just like normal people actually they are even better.

  • Thank you for this video. I cried while watching it.

  • hey dislike people! yehh you! FUCK OFF! This video is very encouraging to people like us! I love this video and I think everyone should watch it! It shows that nothing can stop you from accomplish anything! I mean, dyslexia can be a wall sometimes, but if you work hard, you will break down this wall like these great heroes in this video!

  • Love it!!! 

  • I find it funny how obvious it is that the creator of this video (not to mention the commenters) is dyslexic

  • @kungfuasgaeilge Yeah, no shit. Other wise why would we click on a video that has dyslexic in the video title? This video gives us encouragements on our disabilities. The question is... why are you here commenting on the obvious? Meh....

  • @foxworthy21 surely the video would convey a better and clearer message if the creator wasn't dyslexic...

    To answer your question, I watched it because you don't have to be dyslexic to be curious as to who has or had dyslexia. That and the fact that I'm currently doing some research on the topic

  • I am dyslexic.

    My spelling and grammar are completely fine.

    The biggest problem is that people tend to not know what dyslexia is. They think that if you are dyslexic, then you can not read or spell. This is not true. My dyslexia is verbal. I forget how to say words and I also forget what words mean. I could be sitting at home, wanting to eat an apple. I'd ask someone to pass me an..... and I would forget the word apple. lol.

    Pass me the green thing next to the bananas!

    It's a funny thing =P

  • How Can People Be Born With Dyslexia? We Werent Born With Written Language. This Puzzles Me

  • @minzi2047 Good point: dyslexia is one of dozens of labels pounded into people that fail to maintain the high yet arbitrary & ultimately nonsensical standards of a society; usually according to panels of experts @Am. Psychiatr. Assoc., Natl. Edu. Assoc. et al. Sartre wrote that cultural order is irreducible to natural order, but we Americans think by reducing all to natural order ("born with") we avoid cultural order problems. We are mistaken.

  • @CocteauDalighari thanks, your information is appreciated

  • Amazing video and the most heart touching for me was Sir Thomas Edison.If the teacher was alive to see him rise as an inventor, that teacher would be in the hall of shamers,lol

  • @amirusman321 Actually, Edison had no teachers. He attended almost no school. He was unschooled but not uneducated. Same for Ben Franklin, David Farragut, Robert Fulton. You'll notice that school is where we catch dyslexics: maybe there's something wrong with schools & not with the people that attend them.

  • Amazing video and the most heart touching for me was Sir Thomas Edison.If the teacher was alive to see him rise as an inventor, that teacher would be in the hall of shamers,lol

  • Comment removed

  • @SuperBlue121 well from what i can see you havem't got any mistakes here, you should perhapes mention that when people correct you :)

  • Only wish you had added audio along with the text. It plays a bit fast which makes it hard to read.

  • so i have dyslexia and iam trying to join the us Army cause thats all i want to be.And if General George Patton did so i can i.

  • @eyeballl100 That was a different war

  • Great video

  • This video has warmed my heart. thank you.

  • I recently got an essay back from my teacher at university, and even though I have a bit of paper that goes on all my essays to let them know I'm dyslexic, he still commented that I had 'clearly shown a lack of effort', he also said that my structure wasn't very good when it was as good as any of my other essays.

    even now at 20 yrs old I get comments like that and it upsets me because I have to put so much more effort in to get essays anywhere near as good as my class mates!

  • my brother and me and my dad all suffer with dyslexia, although mine is only mild and not all people with dyslexia have trouble reading, take me for example.i am obsessed with reading and now own and have read more than 300.however it limits my abilty to pick up foren language and to get muddled up with some words when speaking.my brother has dyslexia as well as a few other stuff,but he is really good at maths and computers,for his age.like i said and like this video says, nobody is stupid. :)

  • @xxchocolatexx1996 Exactly the same with me. And i just found out that i've been dealing with it all my life so far... It's making me think somewhat!

    But, no matter what, we are NOT stupid.

    WE CAN DO WHATEVER WE WANT TO.

  • @greensheep10 yes my mum knows someone and her son is a english teacher and he has dyslexia, but still i think that if you put your mind to it and work to your best...nothing is impossible(that sounded a bit cheesy tho, but true)

  • Being able to spell correctly has nothing to do with intelligence. I have more than one child with dyslexia, and they have the MOST amazing and intuitive minds.

  • this video has just made my day thank you

  • ur video! so fast can't read it better than you guys

  • damn video! so fast can't read it better than you guys

  • thank you for this video. i have this fking disorder. you don't know what kind of hell i went through most of my life because of it. or maybe you do, because you are too.

  • OMG what is the screen saying!

  • the calculator and the pc computer as well as gps are massive aids with this problem. but it still sucks

  • I posted this video on a site called Swedish Down town which has as a goal to work against discrimination of all kinds, plus that i have dyslexia myself, found out when i was 33 now i m 39. My school years made me feel incredibly stupied, slow and unintelligent. if i can prevent this for other people by spreading information that is accessible online like your video it is excellent!

  • we are smarther..... then the ones that a normal....

  • @raphaelthe1 lmao

  • @raphaelthe1 No you are just retards born to fail at intelligence.

  • @raphaelthe1 Can you write a book?

  • @raphaelthe1 *Smarter

  • @raphaelthe1 smarter* than* are*

  • @raphaelthe1 You mean smarter than the ones that are normal.

    Yet you are wrong.

  • this makes me proud to be me.

  • i love this vids, we normal people should learn from them

  • Dyslexics Of The World Untie.

  • Dam so many Famous left handers have dyslexia

  • I is aslo a dixlexlic ant me iss verri hapy wen i cee tihs vdio tanx u :)-

  • I am dyslexic and so happy to now that i'm not along

  • @karlabatts lol...alone.

  • @karlabatts

    me too :)

  • Not all those people on the video have Dyslexia. Some of them had ADHD. Einstein had Autism and ADHD.

    I have ADHD and I served Seven years in the US Army, spent a year in Iraq, and made it through college. It wasn't easy, but I did it. These people on the video are an inspiration to me.

  • Cool video. Problem: dyslexics can't read it. I did like the music though.

  • @georgeNconrad dumbass

  • @NPD3xC LOLOLOL I don't even remember what my original comment was. But it's funny that I was able to piss you off so much that you'd start cursing!!!

  • @georgeNconrad

    DYSLEXIC ARE SMARTER THAN YOU THIN DUMB ASS!

    - Lala dyslexic

  • @lalakins91 LOLOL I don't even know what my original comment was, but it's funny that I was able to piss you off so much that you started cursing.

  • @georgeNconrad Oh! This must be the comment that made people start cursing. It is true though. A dyslexic person would have benefited more from this video being read aloud rather than it being typed in italicized font. I could not read it off the computer screen. But when someone read it aloud to me, it was a nice video.
