people without dyslexia have a "pictured" mind. a dyslectic person had this to say "we dont have a cheating-window to look at when reading and writing" now, i am not dyslectic but i can imagine putting a word together would be like taking each letter at a time? people without dyslexia sees "the big picture" when reading. for example if i write "thnk yuo" my mind would probably translate that to "thank you".
funny as hell. I have dyslexia, had it worse when I was a kid. this video makes fun of it but it's always best to laugh and have fun with your own weaknesses or fall backs.
uoy era not alone i got a F in redeing and thy fuond out i hav dislaxia i hat my life and i wish i was free all my taech saying that thy have spacil schols for me i live in india and i will have to grete britin to laern i raed in a 3rd grad leve and im in colage
you have just got to find out away of getting around it, i find spell helps alot, clapping out sill o bulls. see the thing with dyslexia you will be realy good at somthing eg i very good at history yet my math skills are very poor, you just have to find out what your talent is. don't worry mate it will work out.
You have sung it! Dyslexia is a pain sometimes... mostly when no one around you gets it. This was funny. A good way to relate to what is it like is having to treat everything as a puzzle rather than it being straightforward. And there is seldom a break. rhee is my solscion for these prolbelm. Preahasp we can tache others to reed like us. Viola, porbelm sloved!!! Who is Viola?
iv got mild dyslexia. i actually seem to screw up on speech more than anything, but maybe that's due to the miracle of the backspace key. instead of saying sports car it'l be spar corts.
i have a verry mild dislexia but its run thru the family so it is not that bad but it can be very anoying when you get shoted at for speling rong! it makes you want to screem
i'm a 40 yr old ENTP with dyslexic & adhd/add. life has been very FRUSTRATING so far. most people still assume i'm dumb, stupid despite the fact that i have contributed to hitech world with my innovations, graduating from top school, made myself net worth of more than $2 million. life was much more frustrating back in my own country (india) where there is zero awareness of adhd/dyslexia. is there a support group for adhd/dyslexic adults?
we people with Dyslexia will always have it you can not grow out of it or anything you could get better at reading and writing but Dyslexia is for life we will always have it because its a disability
and yes you can get better at reading and writing if you want to but thats your choice if you want to get better its only up to you the people who try do get better for me it was hard like a bitch but i wanted to learn and i did but i know that i will always have it
I'm not sure if I have dyslexia or not. This has recently begun to occur. I have found myself to look at a word and it's not at all the same word that is actually written. Only lasts for a split second. I can look at a word that says frank and I swear it says child. This is frustrating. Can you help me?
i have dyslexia and idk it just never bothered me idk how you want people to help but if you really need help go to a conselure or something i guess thats what i did when i was little... never really helped that much but they will tell you if you have it or not for sure... sry couldnt be more help
I also think it's funny that the International Dyslexia Association would endorse stereo-types and missinformation about it's own cause......
the only thing that was really presented corectly was that it IS indeed fursterating. and an "a" would almost never be a "c" maybe a "q" or an "O" but probably not a "c" :p
I find this song very offensive and would like it to be removed from youtube right away. This is not very funny and is nothing to laugh at ,because im dyslexic myself The video is terrible and is basically taking the mick out of people who have dyslexia.
You shouldn't find it offensive if you have dyslexia. You should know what its talking about more than anyone.
I'm dyslexic, I don't find it offensive. I find it frustrating that people are getting their knickers in a twist just cause its mentioning a disability that they have.
Really, its a good thing to let people be aware how we dyslexics feel. It -is- frustrating. It -is- humiliating when you say GOD and not DOG. It's embarrassing. You should know that as well as anyone.
It's from an organization. I have trouble with writing words to my Learning Disability. I might not have dyslexia, but I have dysgraphia--simular to what they have. I add letters or or omit them. I don't think it was meant to be offensive but show what they see.
the problem is that most of our school systems are designed for word readers not picture readers like me! it is so true whats in this add! when i was younger i wrote a message about spring and i wrote that my favorite part of spring was mossold! mirror its Blossom! i wish they had this add in new zealand!!
I have dyslexia and back when I was in my teens, I didn't know why I couldn't learn like the rest of the class. Back in those days information was not available. To everyone with Dyslexia, Don't give up!!
yes I did, but it isn't easy. Even now, when I perform day to day activities (write emails, letters, etc) I have to proof my work by reading it several times. Something that you may take granted, may take 3 times as much for a "trained" dyslexic. You had your laugh by watching the video and reading the comments, but I hope that you learned something that will help you understand dyslexia.
Blackgoldenrod is a stupid loser, needs to shut up. I'm glad that you over came your Dyslexia SCIFI, and i would like to note that you sound very intelligent. This proves that people with dyslexia can be smarter then people without (blackgoldenrod).
This commercial opened my eyes a bit. I have a learning disability but was never sure I could call it dyslexia because at an early age I learned ways to cope with many of the problems. Other problems were harder to deal with. This commercial tells of a few things beyond reversing letters. Things like reaching for the tomato soup when you want the mushroom soup when they are beside each other.
I don't want to offend anyone, but I really find this commercial... creepy. When I first saw it on T.V. I actually got scared. The dog's head turning around at the end is just too creepy.
i think this video is Terrible, for someone like myself who suffers from dyslexia i find this video very bad. who ever is in that dog suit needs his head kicking in.
i have this problem myself and i find things very difficult for example spelling, reading but iam getting there. i get very frustrated. My dyslexia is so bad im thinking of dropping out of college.
Please don't give up! I have a learning disability known as visual perception defect. I had trouble in college, too. I was lucky enough to find ways around it. For example, I had to teach myself to copy down notes with out looking at the board and I often used a tape recorder. I am now certified to teach children with learning disablities. If you need help alot of colleges have learning disabilities services that could help.
Yes, umm...This seems to be making fun of dslexia more than making people aware of it. Especially with that kid in green acting as if he was mentally disabled and rolling around on the floor..
Not necessarily. I think the video has a nice blend of humour and also tries to messes with the senses in that the words and lyrics are jumbled up, much like they would be for someone that is afflicted with dyslexia.
