[karezza6]

Did you hear about the dyslexic Satanist?

He sold his soul to Santa.

[18Jamf]

i love your video and i have Dyslexia too 

[merlan114]

I'm really good in biology and other science because I'm able to run the process through my head and fix the pieces of the puzzle together. Because of this I ALWAYS have a lot of question to why this happens which only enhances my ability to picture the process and through my head

[merlan114]

I feel great about myself! I never knew that!

[johnyjones34]

o and sorry for my spelling,as you can see im dyslexic lol

[johnyjones34]

you know in australia they dont even really take notice of dyslexia,i rember being put in the back class room and being ingored,i was treated like i was a delinkwent,i could not need not like doing my work because i could not understand it,i just hate people say it that its because im lazy or dum,but yet i was good at history and art.i wish that australia whould take notice of dyslexia because there are so many kid here going under the radar.

[Kenjikentai]

oh my GOD the images in 6.19 looks so much to the graphs I can create internally.

[MissRetroPink]

I love all the David Bowie music! I'm dyslexic and it made the video much more enjoyable!

[nelliemarink]

Excellent video! The only thing that could improve it would be to leave out the Howard Gardner crap. That is just his goofy theory that has become popular because it is easy for teachers to understand. But you can take any kind of talent and call it an "intelligence". Adding his theory into vids like this dumbs down the quality.

[MetalBru01]

The intro was a bit melodramatic.

[221Dw]

@MetalBru01 Agree

[MetalBru01]

@221Dw I mean they were acting like dysexia was some sort of disease.

[221Dw]

@MetalBru01 Lol yeah, it can be a serious problem of course (on par with a disease) but these small monologue type thingys are kind of futile at doing justice to the actual experiences people go through.

Im sure all involved hearts are in the right place though.

[altan1989]

Dyslexia is a gift to develop your tolerance for hardship in order to tackle challenges.

[samann95014]

i believed that i was stupid, lazy, unfit everyhere (and still believes it subconsciously) until i went to some of the top schools (iit bombay & stanford) in the world and then in professional life thrived in business & became a multimillionaire. i also have adhd, was born & grew relatively very poor, lonely most of my life & was homeless several times. now i am aiming to become a billionaire by using my gift of dyslexia consciously.

[doggysmeller]

Dyslexia has gaven me an amazing pro and a terrible con. I am an actor. You see, I am amazing at memorizing lines, lyrics, monologues, and everything to do with acting. The con is, I can't read. That straight forward. If im in class doing a read through or a cold read for an audition. I usually fail and crash and burn. But if i look at it 3 or 4 times, i'll have it memorized.

[jakevidzz]

@doggysmeller i'm able to do that, but i'm autistic. :D

good luck! :)

[Omni315]

Does anyone else wish they were more dyslexic?

I do sometimes lol

[Wazztheweasel]

@Omni315 yes ofc i was the only one in all my classes....and you feel that you are a dumb freak..but other people also seem stupid to me why do i get bad grades for my German and Dutch class ?.

[Omni315]

@Wazztheweasel Not dumb, I just felt I was failing because I was lazy

[TheLadyindigo87]

Im on a journey of accepting my gifts so that i can began to unwrap. it just so happend decided to do research on this i chose youtube first. ""FIRST MIND ppl" To see if i could be dyslexic. I have a feeling that i could me unwrapping a gift that could create a miracle in my life. Bcuz im working towards my goals and dreams in my life like NEVER b4!

[dyslexiarules]

this is a great confidence boost ;] xxx what bugs me most about dyslexia is that it is called a dissability and that the dictionary and some doctors call it a brain dissorder ;/ anyone feel the same way? xxx

[CornellRX]

I am a dyslexic adult in Detroit and having a hard time dealing with the lack of opportunity to elevate my existence in the city of Detroit. When I was a child in Detroit public system I learn to hate school because of the way I put down and told that I will never amount to anything. The sad thing I came to believe all what those negative things the Teachers would say, because they was right I was an academic failure no matter how hard I try not be, due to being dyslexic that hurt.

[StRoRo]

I dont like the way they call Dyslexia is a "disability". I think my brain is wired differently in a way which doesn't favour reading and writing. However I believe it has vastly improved my other logic skills. Infact when I did my dyslexia test I finished all logic questions / tasks under time. There was meant to be enough questions to last the 2 mins given to answer them. I answered them all correctly with time to spare.

Then came the reading tasks. lol. That was a shambles.

[soulfie]

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!

[MsSasuSakuLove]

I can understand anything according to like computers science i can understand how it works by just thinking and i get it right. I never knew dyslexia was a gift until now.

[CUCARACHAentv]

please someone have the subttitles of this film??? thank you

[SuttonBluenose2]

I love how dated this video is! Shows how far we have moved on technologically an socially in what 20 years?!

[niceboyandy]

PS I never went to collage in the first place so dont know why I wrote "Back" to collage!

[niceboyandy]

I went to school in the 80's and there was simply no help back then and no one knew about it, this ment we just got called stupid, bone idol and lazy. I'm so please it's widley recignised now. Sadly to late for me, I left school with no quolifications and have a family now so dont have the time or funds to go back to collage, but hopefully the same thing wont happen to the next generation. I'm not going to do a spell check on this; just to be a reble :-)

[LOVEYOUSHORTTIME]

Well its been 2 years since i have been told i am dyslexic (i am 43) it was not until lately that i needed more to progress in my job. Try being dyslexic and writing reports in detail for CEO's. I have saved my company over 2 million dollars in BIG PICTURE thinking to me it's not hard. Listening to this video is very close to the money WE see things that others miss. I was told in grade 5 i would be a hole digger and thats it .The thing that makes me try harder i will meet her again 1 day

[loolootwo]

[asmordi]

well i'm dixlelixique and i'm a dj and i make inventions

[captimepro]

check out dislecksia: the movie

[Dizzabeth]

Im Listening to this finding myself baffled at the negative responses illisited And quite nonplussed being that much of whats naturally accrued o me early one. BUT MYLAZYWEEKENDS after a min, a comment you made CRACKED it for me. expanding on it, Dyslexia, just like a pigment in a hair follicle, cause a present trait in us. Whatever those are for dyslexia, its as natural for those of us with it, as it is for a brunette to grow brown hair. Our focus on it, is only the result of others doing it..

[TheNextLane]

I always thought I was stupid at life at a young age during high school and would need to force myself to read and write, even until now. When I asked my parents about the memories I had back in year 1 as a child where I required extra tuition, my parents told me I was dyslexic. It finally all makes sense, I am very good at maths and problem solving though.

[michaelgrella]

I'm dyslexic, but the older I got the better I got at things, and I started to mix things up less and less, so I'm proud of that.

[Jam5bam]

Iam dyslexic and this is not a gift this is the worst thing that could ever happen how can this be a gift. It takes me twice as long just to be finished with school.I hate it so much I cry everytime I have to write an eassy for college.

[fatman734]

im am dyslexic and it is a gift but pics are not going to replace text we can read we just have to work harder then others

[TroWu]

I'm also dyslexic. I find it very hard to both read and wirte in my own language, but I'm lucky... because I have the ability to express myself better in English... and now I've begun to write a book about how it is and feels to be dyslexic.

[ShuyaYamamoto]

I am also dyslexic and i do find it hard to spell and do math.

But I am good at learning forigne languges. I find it easier to read, wright and talk in japanese because their scrip is characters!

毎日、私は日本語を勉強する！ every day i study japanese.

I have been studting japanese for eight years now.

Thank you for taking your time to read this.

ps. Appologise for the bad spelling.

[kaskarulez]

i actually found out today i have dyslexia and its so nice to know that i am really not alone and to know its not depression or add makes me feel amazing

[mdnoorfairouz]

wohoo!!

cameron diaz boobs at 6.39..

thumbs up if u saw it..

[EPR1FILMS]

I'm going to tell the truth, "Dyslexia" just F@#king pisses me off, I have it, I struggle every day of my life in school with it. I wish never had it. It's like a curse!

[stampenhc]

@EPR1FILMS I’ve been where you've been. It comes with some dam annoying disabilities. But you’ll find it comes with great abilities as well, often resulting in many people seeing you as a true genius. For example, I am heavily dyslectic, yet I spot my university lecturers mathematical mistakes in exams while no other student does. I can solve a rubiks cube blindfolded. I have recently solved a 13x13x13 (a normal one is 3x3x3) and I didn’t even find it a challenge.

[stampenhc]

@EPR1FILMS Just don’t get down about it and find things you’re good at. You’ll find you’re not just good at them, you’ll be truly genius with them.

[Lauratkd1]

I'm dyslexic and happy to be. I'm keeping an 86% average in my high school and I'm on the honor roll. I'm in the gifted classes at my high school, I keep a high average by being a hands on learner. If a teacher just goes up to the board and tells me to answer a question without explaining how to do it I'm lost. I have an extra class and a tutor that helps me learn in different and better ways.

[rorhide]

i am dyslexia and it ture that we have a better come up with better ideas and drawing than nomal peope .

[NurulSadrina]

@CreativeM0 , the same like me too here! Especially with speech disorder and something else like slow in response, but i really work hard for the past few years to find my weaknesses and train myself. To find yourself dyslexic is also painful experience but i'm sure there will be always a way for somebody to be a sucessful person in this life. At least...., that is what i believe in.

[loggeronline]

Bullshit!

[badgerattoadhall]

i have Dyslexia, my spelling sucks!!!

[jarrod1937]

It must also be said the the theory of multiple intelligences is a politically correct definition of intelligence, which tries to include as many people as possible. As an example, i have no inherent musical ability, yet i can play an instrument. However instead of that being categorized as a skill, it is instead a measure of my "musical intelligence". I may be able to get on board with a more general approach like auditory intelligence, but not with it being so strict as being called musical IQ

[Mylazyweekends]

@jarrod1937

Yes, I completely agree that is is a correct definition of intelligence.

It's like for example. there are people are there who are highly academically intelligent. They get top grades in everything, have amazing mathematics capabilities, etc etc.. And yet their common sense and social "intelligences" just lacks so much.

[jarrod1937]

And i'd like to say the main guy who states that computers are replacing the lower level brain functions is a joke. That is not true in the least. Even visual designing apps, which i use as part of my profession, are heavily reliant on text and text navigation. From research on the subject (i myself don't have dyslexia) shows there are multiple methods for getting around the disability, i'd say its better to focus on those than give up and renounce the world of text for the pure visual world.

[jarrod1937]

I am sorry if this insults anyone, but i prefer to always be as direct and possible and speak my mind. I personally take this video as an attempt to develop a "feel good" atmosphere for those with dyslexia... and while that isn't a terrible thing, the reasoning being used to do it in this case is. In a sense those in the video are mentally condemning themselves as being useless for all but the more niche areas. Why use your dyslexia as a crutch in this manner?

[get0ffmahd1ck]

There is a boob at 6:40.

[gasmbay]

we ARE moving into another era, through technology!

[TheTraveler92]

Greatest thing about being dyslexic is that I can't help but having to think outside the box =D

[Ljokerz]

@TheTraveler92 lol ya im dyslexic too its true

[greco0994]

@TheTraveler92 exactly dude! so many close minded ppl i thought that was just me but maybe my dyslexia provided me with these ways of thinking

[silvasmart]

Thanks for taking those 5mins to post this coment - good luck on getting your first million. I'm sure you can do it.

[punkpoetry]

@rainerfilm dyslectic or not, you sound like a preening, self congratulatory git

[rainerfilm]

@punkpoetry what is that?

[punkpoetry]

@rainerfilm GIYF

[rainerfilm]

@punkpoetry Google Is Your Friend??? what are you trying to say?

[Mylazyweekends]

I'm dyslexic, and I personally don't go out of my way to find reasoning to make myself feel better like, like humankind moving towards a visually dominated world. Let's face it, despite visual images being an enormous part of our world, images will never replace the written word. Just because like 17% of people are dyslexic, doesn't mean the whole world is going to change as a result of it. It makes our lives easier, it makes images more clear and more obvious etc.

[OfficialScience]

@Mylazyweekends

I agree this documentary needs work...

Too much of this ability to think in pictures.Everyone think in pictures it is the most common form of thinking. From recent studies dyslexia in some individual is cause by lack of omega-3 and zinc, vitamin b6. It is also noted that dyslexics tend to have obsessive behaviors. its both a pro/con. There are so much negative psychology roles this condition plays however it is not apparent in here. Gives dyslexics too much false confidence.

[Mexxi0]

@Mylazyweekends Mhhh, did you mom helped you type that?

[theacdcstone]

@Mexxi0 And you have impeccable spelling skills and absolutely and elegantly correct grammar .

[Ljokerz]

@Mylazyweekends you know whats funny im dyslexic too and i cont tell if your spelling is good or bad lol xD

[dia19tm]

I didn't know there were so many different kinds of intelligence. Great video

[sugarkaneandchloe]

This is in Hereford :-) And using my hero Bowie...I am dyslexic and PROUD :-)

[kcharles1750]

Thanks for posting this film, its inspirational for me. Post more, please.

[nirascherzbusch]

WONDERFUL!!!!!! Thanks Chris, and thakns - Tom

[silvasmart]

Many thanks for your comment - so pleased to hear you like the movie

[sugarkaneandchloe]

I am dyslexic and I LOVE the written word. I dont use "visuals" so to speak. My "thing" is reading, and books.Great film .

[ACbonscottDC]

@sugarkaneandchloe aparently when somebody with dyslexia reads, they transfer the sybols that they re reading into images in their head to try and understand whats to be explained. You might not think that you are a visual thinker, but all dyslexics are. It's a fact, nd if you wern't a visual thinker chances are you'd have most likely been mis diagnosed. :¬/

[death2disco79]

@ACbonscottDC Hello, I dont think labelling all dyslexics the same helps really :-) I am definately dyslexic and I dont "think" in pictures, I just think.

[drseide]

Thanks for posting this video Chris - a wonderful film! We all need to hear more about the gifts, talents, and advantages of the dyslexic thinking style.
