  • Great video. I found loads of great recent stories on dyslexic people overcoming obstacle – search for “My Dyslexia Life Story” – there are amazing stories.

  • i remember back in ninth grade the teacher asked me to read a sentance in front of the whole class. I couldn't. I then got humiliated in front of my whole friends and the teacher told I was a baby. It just hurt me that the teacher whos "suppose to know everything" thinks that way about me. I hated that teacher ever since. Its just that he made me feel like I was an idiot and couldn't achive anything.

    I'll find him after i graduate from engineering school to shove my diploma in his face!

see all

  • It's great to see so many great people getting to do such great things with dyslexia, it makes you feel like you can really do anything! I suddenly don't feel so alone or dumb as my teachers in 4th-10th grade called me...

  • @ georgeNconrad

    If you're going to talk shit, you might as well educate yourself first! No one wants to waste their time listening to ignorance. People like you don't fit in with the rest of the world and feel better bashing those who already have a hard life. Fuck off and leave dyslexics alone!

  • @2Garyable

    Almost exact same story as mines..

    I was diagnosed with dyslexic (learning disability) in 3rd grade. Whenever middle school came around, my teachers though I was completely useless and would never achieve my particular dreams. High school eventually came around the corner, and teachers had strong faint in my abilities since I was top fast learner in my class. Dropped out of high school went back to college got (GED) now mastering at an university with computer science degree.

  • @groovemachinemx1 Stop being lazy, dyslexic, just read what it says omfg

  • My son is Dyslexic! He has had to have one one one help with learning since he has been at school. He has always had a hard time and suffered because of this. Being a mother, if your child hurts, or anyone you love is hurting, it hurts you , just as much, but, no one could be more prouder of him , than I am, as I am of you !
