There are many definitions of the disorder called dyslexia but no consensus. The World Federation of Neurology defined dyslexia as follows:

Specific developmental dyslexia is a disorder manifested by difficulty learning to read despite conventional instruction, adequate intelligence, and adequate sociocultural opportunity. It is dependent upon fundamental cognitive disabilities that are frequently of constitutional origin.
Some of the other published definitions are purely descriptive, while still others embody causal theories. From the varying definitions used by dyslexia researchers and organizations around the world, it appears that dyslexia is not one thing but many, insofar as it serves as a conceptual clearing-house for a number of reading skills deficits and difficulties, with a number of causes.[5][6]

Castles and Coltheart, 1993, described phonological and surface types of developmental dyslexia by analogy to classical subtypes of acquired dyslexia (alexia) which are classified according to the rate of errors in reading non-words.[7] However the distinction between surface and phonological dyslexia has not replaced the old empirical terminology of dysphonetic versus dyseidetic types of dyslexia.[6][8] The surface/phonological distinction is only descriptive, and devoid of any aetiological assumption as to the underlying brain mechanisms, in contrast the dysphonetic/dyseidetic distinction refers to two different mechanisms:— one relates to a speech discrimination deficit, and the other to a visual preception impairment. (Most people with dyslexia who have Boder's Dysiedetic type, have attentional and spatial difficulties which interfere with the reading acquisition process.[9]

  • ive had Dyslexia since i was 4 and im 11

  • I 150 percent agree with every single word you have said in this video, i myself is also Dislixic, which every day is a pain in the butt! BUT i keep fighting, forget about it, and keep going forward, i am 36years old, i have a good job, not much i know, but thats life! in anycase, i know what your sayig, and fully understand! I have been there, and i know whats its like!

  • Thank you :)

  • i have dyslexia and i get left and right confused alot and as for spelling well all i can say is thank god for spell check.

  • How strange. I have that left-right thing, and have to look at my hands to tell the difference between them. But I read well. My mother has the same left right confusion, so I assumed I'd inherited it. Odd.

    Stay cheerful, in spite of everything.

  • Yes we in USA have contract like you spoke of. It's call ADA ( american disable act)

    passed 1994 Thanks

  • @travisg336 The whole look at your hand and if it makes an L it is your left hand, doesn't help. Because I flip the L around and it then looks like my right hand. And then I am really confused. I try and think about which hand I write with.

  • it not a disability its a gift i have Dyslexia its a gift, my spelling and gramma or poor i read slow, but i can do the left and right thing but think karate

    helped with that one as when i got it wrong he would stand on the foot and say that right or left but i am great with my hand i can make brillant things i can solve phisical problems with ease and in ways other none dyslexics, ita also help me to think out of the box and find diffrent ways to think, thanks to dyslexya i would not chang it

  • with your hands make an L if one of your hands make an L that's left if it dose not make an L then that's right. that's what i do : )

  • Funny another dyslexic asked me how to spell muscles and i'm dyslexic my self lol ironic. I spell by breaking up the words in smaller chunks or remembering what it looks like. If i have not come across a word, I can't spell it.

    In my case I can read, but I don't understand what it is saying sometimes
