  • So i'm not stupid ?....change the school systems please...they bring allot of young people down and damaged and they cary this with them all thier life's.

    I would not want to change my way of thinking but..it gets kind of lonley sometimes. on the road...people seem to find you stupid when you mispell ore can't come up with the correct words to explain something.

  • BILLY BLANKS MAKES ME PROUD TO BE A DYSLEXIC BECAUSE TAE BO IS EPIC. Lol on a serious note, I totally agree with the guy at 3:39, as a kid i would have got rid of it, but as an adult I want to keep it. And its who I am, its not a shameful or negative thing. I don't say I've battled with dyslexia, I've had a graceful dance with dyslexia, it just took me a while to learn the steps ;)

  • *imaginative

  • And oh yeah...dyslexics have a different way of thinking. One that is more deverse and imagination. That can be useful for alot things! Keep working hard!

  • I am going to dental school when I'm about 20 to become an orthodontist. Work really hard! You are smarter than the average person. Enjoy being different. And don't worry about the people that ostrcacize you.

  • Great video. I have dyslexia, well more like had. At 8-9 I had alot of trouble reading, and getting things backwards. I got a tutor and about a year later I could read anything. I did very well in school. I graduated with an advanced studies diploma. I'm 18 and I just started college.

  • I hope you discussed Orton-Gillingham in your movie. The O-G system took my dyslexic 12 year old daughter from a 2nd grade reading level to a 6th grade level in 9 months of diligent training during her first year at Marburn Academy, a school specializing in teaching to the learning styles of students with dyslexia and ADHD. Every dyslexic should know about Orton-Gillingham!

  • it is so true
