I haven't been diagnosed, but I believe that I have dyslexia along with my parents. All of us have issues with reading, writing, and spelling. My mom has a particular issue with numbers. My dad can't spell. I have trouble more with reading comprehension. I am an excellent reader, but I probably could not tell you much of what I read. I've learned to cope without realizing it. It's not great, but it's not that bad either. :)

@Misanthrope625 I'm sorry you feel that way. I've felt that way most of my life, although I have been extremely proactive to solve my problems. I'm not saying all problems go away, though if you try hard, accept who you are, love yourself, find the positives then focus and use that to your advance, I'm certain you can succeed. Acceptance lessened my symptoms and took some negative emotions out of the way. I know I've missed out on many things in my life. But life is funny like that.

i made a analogy of the "weeds of society" how people are frowned upon in society (like homelessness racism homophobia etc.)as the "glorious lawn" in the front yard is infected by dandelions. the dandelion can be used as a medical herb which would be so helpful like i was really into botany and ecology, as i learnt more i saw that we could use ecology as a guideline to better social setting. My example is the dandelions have the right to grow just like the grass on a lawn. Weeds are beautiful :)

@Misanthrope625 You might enjoy "The Strange Truth About Dyslexia," which suggests a possible way out. (Many experts think that dyslexia is actually caused by flawed reading instruction.)

Dyslexia IS NOT a gift! I HATE it when people tell me that! It's a form of torture!!! It has made life so difficult. My self-image and my confidence in EVERYTHING has been negatively affected by this terrible disorder. I feel like my soul is trapped.
