Dyslexia at its Finnest

I have chronic dyslexia and sometimes writting simple things like, oh say, a letter can be annoying beyong belief.

Now yes, I could look in the dictionary, I could look the words up online, but do you see the amount I am unsure of? It would take an hour to write a letter. So I offten find myself dumbing down my writing to avoid spelling words wrong. It sucks.

Be kind, this is mostly an expirament it editing.

I am dyslexic and if this person in the video is dyslexic I apologize but I think this is a joke and it is very offensive to me and probably to many other dyslexic people and which dyslexia is not something to be made fun of or to be taken lightly.

@GabrielDiNardo Wow, I'm sorry you took offense to this, but I can promise you that I am dyslexic, this video is not a joke, and I was certainly not taking it lightly.

im pretty sure that this is just bad spelling, not dyslexia. Dyslexia can cause problems on planning to write something, which i saw no problem you doing.

[ZFroggirl]

I respectfully disagree with you. I have been tested positive for dyslexia in three clinical tests. It is not just a spelling problem, its a different way of thinking about things. Also, I know what you were discribing with trouble writing, but not every dyslexic person has this trouble. There are many different types of dyslexia, and people often think it is limited to things like this. I would caution you to call out others and diegnos their ways of thinking, but thanks for watching.

I don't wish to poke fun at the original poster, or any other person whom believes them self to be dyslexic. But... as a very keen reader/writer and English student I think people need to understand a draw a line between being Dyslexic and have a problem with spelling. They are two problems often perceived as one. I don't claim to be an expert and could not tell you exactly how to differentiate between the two.

[ZFroggirl]

True point. I have been tested for dyslexia in three clinical tests, and it is far beyond just spelling. It is simply a different kind of intelligence. But I would be cautious to call people out and label them either dyslexic or "just a bad speller" because it can seem hurtful or harmful. I understand where you are coming from, but I would hope that you don't accidentally hurt someone with this vantage point.

this is how i feel all the time and i have to simply all my words and cant say what i mean because of my spelling :(

I am dyslexic, and I totally do this as well! Thank goodness for spell check and a thesaurus! I do not take offensive to this at all, and I think others need to understand that Dyslexia effects everyone differently and shouldn't be so quick to judge.

Dear sir

I'm sorry to hear that. What have you tried that might have helped? I have a disability and found Irlen colored lenses

. The irlen lenses corrected something to improve many things. Let me know if they help? Irlen.com for more info.
