It really was interesting. I know I don't have dyslexia either, but I'm glad I checked.

Same here

Lol same

same i had to read in my University classes, i tried to read but it was a mess and no one understood that im dyslexic i fellt so embarrassed, i never rode again.

I'm the opposite Extremely slow but I can't recognise or process a word unless I am reading loud or pretending to read it out loud in my head I do like reading tho whenever I can

YES. this is it, bro. I think I have mild dyslexia...my mother and father are both doctors so they would laugh at me if I tell them I think something is wrong. I've been homeschooled since the 3rd grade and was tutored to learn how to read. I did that for about a year and I haven't read a book until a couple months ago. just got back into reading (8th grade)...I find it really hard to complete assignments and I get behind VERY easily...so much so my mom asks me "what's wrong?" and "why can't I just do this?" but the reason I think I'm not dyslexic is that 1: I would've shown signs as a child 2:I write little stories online...I use Grammarly tho if I didn't none of it would make sense but idk. I have trouble reading in a way that I look at things but I don't read it...like I see a couple words and I just finish it. something happened today where it said "gilly" and I read "girly" and only noticed when my sister pointed it out I was so so so embarrassed. I never feel smart, always feel like something is wrong with me learning-wise...I feel dumb idk...any tips to improve?

@@90sbby37 I think there might be something there worth exploring for a evaluation. My tips are that if you are young get help now. It's not worth struggling and having mental breakdowns because you are trying to cope and match your peers. I got 6 D's and 7 A's in 4th grade, didn't learn how to read until 6th grade yet was always told I was smart by my teachers. Highschool and university was rough. I wish I got evaluated sooner. You aren't dumb or slow or anything like that. The human mind "fills in the gap" so seeing gilly and recongzing girly is extremely common. Just keep practicing reading more and be go slower. it's not a race

@@Nellzurkat thank you so much! You don't know how much I appreciate this!

Omg yesss I dislike wen ppl say that 🙄especially from your own family it sucks

I am have ADHD and dyslexia! It’s very diffucult to do things and message expecially on a mobile when I can barely read and get distractions a lot

Just yesterday talking on the phone I told a mental health professional that "well I know for a fact I'm not dyslexic... but I hate to read because it takes me forever and physically pains me... and I WANT to like reading but..." Yeah I clearly had no idea what dyslexia was! I, too, thought it was just my ADHD (which I didn't even know about until college). I have a lot to learn still at 45...

Apparently, I was a weak reader in the class. I can't look at too many words for too long. People say I make many typing mistakes but I didn't realise why? But for months or a year by I think i am doing research on how dyslexia feels like giving me more clear answer that i might be dyslexic

I answerd 5 but same. I always thought i was dyslexic too

I answered 8 yes. My dad is dyslexic and so is my grandmother on my mom's side and I also have ADHD so it makes me even more likely to have dislexiya. And I have thought I was dyslexic for years! So hopefully my mom finally listens to me and talks about this with me with my doctor

I am so glad that someone understands what I have been going through for years.

@NerdJAM same

I know im not dyslexic i mean i can read and write upsidedown allthough its hard but im forgetful with things like with names plus i answered yes to 3 or 4 or more (proceeds to makes several spelling mistakes on this comment) i fixed them

Same here

honestly for a lot of people it's not just reading, I definitely have more trouble spelling then I do reading

I’m dyslexic and a bookworm so who knows. At least you won’t be the only one 😂

dyslexic bookworm here dont worry

Answered 8, and I am a bookworm as well

Nobody enjoys filling out taxes lolllllll

I was also diagnosed with dyslexia at the age of 5 (mid 20s now) and I only said yes to 4 or 5. Dyslexia comes in many forms, not just number and letter mix ups. For instance I get words and phrases backwards, so I have a hard time explaining information even though I recognize it in my head

I think part of it, is what you’re familiar with. For example we had one bus in a small town so I never worried about and they said the town they where going to not the numbers. Checks aren’t as common lately I can’t even remember if I struggled with the multiplication table it was so long ago.

I only answered yes to 5 and I'm also dislexic and very early diagnosed. But I could not say yes to pace of reading since I was reading a lot since childhood. And multiplation board I was not sure. I never learned it by heart as kids usually do I just understood it. So maybe thoes two should count as yes as well.

I haven't been diagnosed with dyslexia but my grandmother was an English teacher and she was sure I had it. I don't answer yes to a lot of the questions now because I've worked hard at managing my dyslexia with tools and tricks my grandmother gave me. 10 years also I would have answers yes to around 80% of the questions.

SAME ahahah

The multiplication tables question was also a yes for me. Interestingly if you have dyslexia, the chance that you have dyscalculia as well is around 40%.

The multiplication system as well as math and reading an analogue clock has always been the bane of my existence. And that’s not including my terrible spelling. Ugh, part of me wishes I knew of this sooner.

Me who’s still in high school and wondering what 3 x 6 is or anything that has to do with 3 and above... I GOT 9 OH NO..

I didn't have a problem because I used songs to memorise all of the times table up till the 10 times table maybe it'll help :)

I’m not dyslexic and I still struggle to memorise the damn thing

Same for me. Just recently got diagnosed with ADD and I answered yes to 7 I think. The overlap is definitely interesting

It’s possible to have both! I went in for an adhd diagnosis and came out with adhd/ dyslexia and dyspraxia

I also have ADHD and noticed the overlap in some of the questions

@hunny bee not related but I love your pfp

Very good point! This thought hadn’t crossed my mind. I was wondering why some of these seemed similar. :)

That would have been fantastic. I’m currently 31 and I didn’t realize that I may have dyslexia till about 3yrs ago. I still haven’t officially gotten tested, because to be honest I don’t know where to go to do that haha. But I’m very confident (especially after watching this video) that I definitely have at least a mild form of dyslexia. Schooling probably would have been so much easier for me if I had known, if others had known. All those struggles, the crying, how stupid I thought I was. I hated it all and hated myself, which carried on all the way till now.

they have a few test in elementary that help fish out kids with stuff like this, i was put in a class for dyslexia.

I believe that is now standard? Although I’m not sure. But it was routine in elementary and middle school to have us periodically do “reading tests” where they would give us several random short stories like a few pages long. And tell us to read us much as we could in 60 seconds and score our performance. Im pretty sure this was probably an attempt to identify any serious issues that were affecting kids ability to read. I’m 19 now by the way.

@@huntermaddywhite6902 I remember taking those tests too but they don't specifically test for dyslexia. It's just a general skill check.

It took till end of 4th grade for my mom to get the school to test me. I almost failed for not remembering my multiplication.

You shouldn't have had to go through the bullying period and it's honestly terrible to hear you went through that

"Dilulc Ravgindr" -Dyslexic person, 2021

There is a math ld.

I can relate! I am dyslexic and have always had trouble memorizing the multiplication table. Reading out loud is a nightmare for me. I stumble over words, having difficulty pronouncing them correctly and getting tongue-tied.

Strange but true... My son gets using East (right) and West (left) better than the words right & left. But those greater than (>) and less than (

Your grandma is an inspiration, not just for those striving to learn and be able to contribute to society, but also because she doesn't want other people to experience what she had gone through.

your grandma is amazing

I don't even know your grandma, yet I wish her the happiness of the whole world

We are lucky that most teachers are better educated on the matter. I had to switch schools when I was younger because of a teacher that just could understand why I was slower and less precise when it came to writing and reading. But it also thought me from a young age to not get effected by others lack of education. And I know think I'm better of because of her

I got 8 😐

How many did you get? I got 6 for sure, but I wasn't entirely sure on all. I didn't think I was so bad at right/left until I noticed just today I mixed them up for an exercise I've done probably many thousands of times before (vector multiplication). Months in order, ugh. It's always such a pain. Or the alphabet.

Same!

i’ve always been advanced in reading, but for some reason for the last few years I would sometimes forgot how to say, spell, or even understand simple words as if I didn’t understand english (which is the only language I know) and i read very slowly too.

@@cinnamon5688 are you under a lot of stress, as this can mimic dyslexia and ADHD unfortunately

Dude you read my mind

I especially struggle with groups of similar objects, like if you show my 13 straight lines next to each other I’ll take ages cause I’ll get confused which one I’m currently counting

Yeaaaaah it’s confusing

That’s really interesting, thanks for sharing.

Same! All of it! I was caught late as well! It is definitely a nice change when you have a word to put on your frustration, but then, going to highschool and before you deal with it is already seen as an excuse for an error! So frustrating! At least in my case it was, or teachers saying it is not a real thing, due to over diagnosis in my peers...

Same with all of those! I was just treated like I’m stupid, but now I know that might not be the case!

I have all of these too. Sucks because I can't seem to finish reading my textbooks on time.

Same, I get them confused a lot, but I do know a two easy ways to help. Tip 1: pretend to write in the air, if your right handed, whatever hand that moves first is tour right hand Tip 2: If that doesn't fit you well, or your able to use both hands. What I do is use my fav juice as my dominant hand and one I don't like my other hand, I love apple juice and am right handed. So for me, apple juice is always the right (handed) way to go!

I did karate when I was young so I correctly learnt my left/right quite quickly

That's so great 🥺 I had a german teacher like that and im literally never going to forget how great she was with my dyslexia. Almost every English teacher I have had was horrible with it though, they didn't get it that I was still dyslexic in my second language and it didn't magically went away.🙄😂

I feel this so hard. I’m 22 and have been saying I think I’m dyslexic since I was like 12 and have pushed to get an evaluation but have been literally laughed at and it’s been brushed off and I STILL haven’t gotten an evaluation. I was good at school so people think I’m being dramatic but there’s so many situations I run into where it’s debilitating. The only thing I have to tell me I’m not crazy is the fact that I had to go into a special class in 2nd or 3rd grade because I really struggled with reading things properly, I’d change words and shuffle them around, that is the only confirmation I have apart from the everyday struggling with simple things. So beyond frustrating

I relate to this so much! I'm an incredibly capable student but one of my biggest challenges (besides debilitating perfectionism) is my reading speed which makes it difficult to keep up with the reading material for my courses. Online learning only made it worse and I ended up taking two semesters off during the pandemic due to mental health issues. I was tested earlier this year for dyslexia and was just shy of the official threshold. In my case it seems that its more of an attention issue combined with the perfectionism (which led me to reread sections multiple times) rather than traditional dyslexia.

I feel this, not for dyslexia but for ADHD. No one ever believed me that I thought I had it and now we're pursuing a diagnosis but... I'm 26 so I'm kinda fucked, I can't afford meds so... Rip. I've wondered about dyslexia but I don't think I qualify, still doesn't make it easier lol.

I was always a good student grade wise but because of that it was never taken seriously that I had a reading problem or dyslexia. I am now 23 and I asked my dr if there was anywhere she knew to get tested to see. That way I could at least know and if/when I went back to college I could have accommodations. But even she didn't take me seriously. Cause I was a good student. I am glad I am not alone in that but also disappointed in the system that we DO get brushed aside. In the USA the "no student left behind" is absolute bs.

Other than officially knowing you are dyslexic, what did a diagnosis do for you? I have not been diagnosed but every test like this and those for AADD indicate I have both. I have numerous coping mechanisms and managed to run two companies that we successfully sold for good return. I stayed away from the financial aspects of the company, hiring a non-dyslexic to take care of that. But back to my question. What did an official diagnosis do for you besides explaining a lot?

Thats horrible, I'm sorry you had to deal with such shitty teachers as well as not getting the proper diagnosis you should have gotten. I'm glad your in a better place now, education is such a limited scope on the value and intelligence of a person.

Same this is so similar to my story too

@@res7ing yes Xiao :3

Thanks for the additional information.

Saying colors in conversation, remembering names, catching yourself saying something wrong but you have to say it to then correct it.

⁠@@xokissnoesaying colours in conversation? What do you mean?

I have not been officially diagnosed but was told by a occupational psychologist that he had little doubt I am. He did say that in his experience, dyslexics are generally very smart and test very poorly. That was me in school. I remember everything I was taught but couldn’t make a decent grade.

Dyslexia is a SUPERPOWER! and don't you forget it! Doubt that? Look up "achievers with dyslexia" and get back to us...

It doesn't really make sense for your letters to move (otherwise) if your eyes are fine I think didn't check though.

If your in school you might be able to get tested through the school system. I was tested through my school and did not see a bill. It would be good to do this because you might need more help in College. Your IEP (individualized educational plan) from high school can get transferred to college. These are molded to best help you. They can give a secluded space if you can’t concentrate well for tests including extra time. they can put you in English computer classes if you don’t write well on paper. College does make it harder because it’s less structured then high school. You yourself have to do more to give structure and work with your college program for kids with learning problems. Even if you don’t do college or get tested I would look up tips and tricks for dyslexia and adhd. Some will work others dif won’t depending on you. I’m a fellow dyslexic that answered yes to 9 of these things in the video above.

For the letters moving that can be tricky. I myself have letters shake in paragraph form so I use color overlays to change the contrast of paper and words. I tend to move letters around with the next words ahead. My eyes move ahead while my brain is still processing the word. Example: Dyslexia refers to a cluster of symptoms, which result in people having difficulties with specific language skills, particularly reading. I might be processing/reading the word “cluster” but then see “of” next to it. My mind may then place the f in cluster like clusfer or clufter or even clustfer. My eyes have always taken-in to much information and my brain has to decode what I saw and fix it. Over time you train your brain to make less mistakes like this. Sometime your brain remembers a word and if another word is close enough to it you might change it. Like angel 😇 and angle 📐 Sometimes it’s the simple switch of letters like Does and dose or follow and fallow. These are my big offenders. I actually reverted back to using fallow instead of follow recently and noticed last week. No idea how long I was doing it again. Sometimes things get programmed in and are hard to reprogram. I can’t spell beautiful without help And enough gets me a lot and weirdly I’ve forgotten how to spell “of” and have spelt It like “ove.”

Becca Ray, I have some symptoms of dyslexia, including shaking/moving letters but I was never tested for it. I’m 30, and I got diagnosed with an eye condition this year. I can’t remember the name of it because it was letter soup, but basically one eye focuses a millimeter off from the other. I got glasses with a prism in them and I can see letters so much better. My spelling has even improved, which is rather convenient since I write novels. I can’t help but wonder if you have something similar going on, since that isn’t a common symptom of dyslexia and the eye thing can mimic it.

@@bodine219 Do you mean astigmatism? I have that too and dyslexia. I was excited when I got to know I have astigmatism, which I was diagnosed with when I was 21, seven years after I was diagnosed with dyslexia. Well, let's say glasses helped, but the letters are still moving. Plus other dyslexic problems stayed. I am curious how many of the challenges would be less annoying if my brain had better bases to build the patterns when I was younger. As English is my second language, I lack the muscle memory in spelling, which makes it even more challenging (and annoying). Ironically, working in academia it is the only language that counts...

I have dyslexia, it get's easier has you age, for me at least. But i also have dyscalculia i think, i can't do math to save my life.

Well that sucks 🙁. Hope things are working out for ya 🙂👍🏽.

im currently dropping out of school because of my dyscalculia. i just got diagnosed at 18 and i wont be able to finish my diploma with dyscalculia, sadly. i wish it got diagnosed earlier so i couldve had treatment! its sad to see that even though i am now officially diagnosed with dyscalculia, the school system in my country treats me like any other student and disregards my dyscalculia!

i went through something similar but with autism, the school system really sucks, when they see a kid struggling but it isn’t super obvious they don’t feel the need to dig deeper, so they just assume you simply need to work harder when it’s really a disability :/

That is sad. In my schools they tested everyone so they would pick up those who might be dyslexic etc. I was put in a small group with extra help with math. We were 3 people with our own teacher and our own classroom.

Yeah, I remember crying for the first time about a grade for those timed multiplication table tests in 8th grade. They had moved me up a math class, but I didn't know hardly any of the multiplication at the time and I still don't, and I got my worst grade ever on it. I also get my right and left wrong too, along with other symptoms, but I never thought it was anything other than not being educated enough in math before hand.

I’m also severely dyslexic and have auditory processing disorder and got diagnosed at a young age. So I relate to a lot of what you said. I didn’t get home school I ended up getting a IEP (individual education plan) which gives you Accommodations like small group and oral admin .Sadly I also got bullied a lot though out school for going to the special Ed programs and my Learning disabilities. Public school was a real struggle I’m in my senior year. Thank you for posting this. I often feel alone in my struggles so seeing this made me feel happy.

I think my stepdad has this

Yo I only recently got diagnosed with an auditory processing disorder at 20. I suspect I have Dxylisia or some form of it. Had an IEP growing up but never really had any assistance everyone just thought I had a speech impediment and was to lazy to fix it bc I thought being British sounded cool (my impediment gives me a very distinct accent that most fell is British) It wasn't until I was trying to learn japanese in college that I realized how had it was for me to make out sounds and read especially outloud without getting confused. A neuro pathologist actually suggested that I had an audio processing disorder but back then there wasn't enough research on the disorder and they didn't have enough money for an audiologist. As I kid I always wondered if I had dyslexia but I dismissed bc I like percy jackson and figured I was just going through a phrase. But I still wonder now. Either way nice to meet other with apd

@@katecat3054 No problem, Yeah, the Private School I tried out was supposed to actually help me with my Disorders. It really didn’t. It set me even farther back in school then I already was. Though, it did help with Socializing and learning how to communicate properly. I remember as a Kid, I always had to carry around some headphones and a CD player thing in a small pouch. For hours on hours of the day, I listened to certain sounds from the headphones. Now, this was a long time ago, I was very young at that age and don’t remember how that even helped me with my APD. But I think it did? But the biggest issue for me was extreme anger issues due to the APD. As a Kid, I just got so upset when others just couldn’t understand me. Then anger would just explode. I was a ticking time bomb honestly. I went to Therapy to try to fix it, thankfully, by age 7 I was a bit more relaxed. Nowadays, I’m decently broken through of APD. But I still have those crappy times it really hits me. Like the not understanding verbal orders, Not understanding Sarcasm very much, not understanding Verbal cues, etc. I’m also very glad to see someone else has nearly the exact same issues as I do. I find it very difficult to find others with Severe Dyslexia and APD. Especially when everyone in the real world sees you awkwardly when you mention you have one of those disorders. What were some of your key struggles with APD? I’d be interested to know, clearly sense I haven’t met another person with APD 😂

@@zanyawesome30 You too! Unfortunately, I never was able to do an IEP. It was all home schooling. In all honesty, Home Schooling kind of make it worse. There wasn’t any social situations for me to do in order to Verbalize things. We did do a Barton Program, where it was spelling and pronunciation for words and sentences. But I always struggled with it. I’d often swap letters and couldn’t verbalize certain letters combinations. Like -Au, -Ou, -Ow, etc. How did College work out for you? I’m considering it, (I currently want a degree in Horticulture) but just was concerned about being Dyslexic and such.

Glad it helped!

Also, I just made another dyslexia test. That one might be worth looking into as well. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gMqPh5l0373UeIE.html

Sounds like hyper focus. It can be amazing for clearing work if you can sink into it but the down side is if anything knocks you out of it you are going to be unable to concentrate for double or triple the time you were in the flow. The last time I truly went into the flow like that was a decade ago. I honestly don't miss it because it made test taking overall a worse experience because I couldn't pull off the sink multiple times back-to-back in finals but I didn't know how to handle it any other way. My biggest suggestion on improving spelling is don't give in to auto spelling or filling words. Make yourself spell it. It is how I fix words on my head. Write on paper it will feel different then typing and will give you another path.

I do think to some extent children and adults can kinda build compensation skills or a balance with muscle memory through repetitious cycles. Like the reading and writing on tests can be a trial, because the student has to second guess judgment with words. If I'm overstressed or haven't slept enough in a week, I will butcher my sentences.

No the test is not correct I have dyslexia quite severe my friend has dyslexia but not strongly but we still get the same things like extra time on test and go to dyslexic classes all I am going to say is that you can’t get rid of dyslexia the test is not correct and it is also not correct for me

You can't outgrow Dyslexia sadly but it sounds like your compensation skills have become so natural you don't even know they are there or being used.

Bruh... I had really bad dyslexia, I still have and I wish I got special help like this. The only thing I got is a bit of a better treatment on tests when it comes to spelling errors and a LOT of almost failed classes

No,you can't grow out of dyslexia, but ,at the age of 60+,l can definitely say it is possible to learn compensatory skills. However, under stress the dyslexic symptoms/tics (sorry, l can't think of the correct word, l'm tired and that also makes dyslexia worse !),will increase/return. The answer then is to try and carry out important activities while not tired or stressed (l can't say that's particularly helpful for exams and form filling though !)

Good for you! You can get yourself checked and tested, and if you get fully diagnosed you can get accommodations or therapy :))

There are certain accommodations that you could also receive in the workforce. If your employer requires a renewed diagnosis so that you receive those accommodations, then it might be worthwhile. I, however, have always managed to deal with this on a personal level with my employer. No one ever wanted to see my official certification.

I wanted to chime in, I have ADHD and a lot of this is familiar to me so I always brushed it off. I was always an avid reader but I didn't notice a problem I had until my professor asked me specifically why a answered a question a specific way. I notice that sometimes it feels like I see additional words or read them in the wrong order. Idk what it is but it feels like my eyes just skip around. Anyone my point is, that my professor is dyslexic and he explained that what I described sounded like a mild form of it. I wonder if that sounds familiar to you?

Yeah it's weird. It's not that we're stuiped it's just, uh. Evil that it's hard. I guess.

@@celestrial333 That does sound like what happens to me. I only have that problem with small text though.

@@celestrial333 having adhd when reading can also cause your brain to just see the first and last couple letters of words or even sentences and make a guess at what it says. That can cause you to add extra or remove some words while reading. The brain is good at guessing so it works for the majority, but it can hurt when there are words that are spelled similarly but have totally different meanings.

@@celestrial333 honestly same here i always thought i was just stupid you know so i never read out loud at all it still happens but not as much

my exact thought

omg this, I have the exact same thing! I was already reading and writing at college level by age 9, but numbers have always been my cryptonite. I would always joke that I'm only number dyslexic but the struggle is real, I even based what I studied in college over the fact that it had no math classes

wait this is a thing? i know my multiplication table but i always get my numbers confused when writing them down even though i know the stuffy in my head.

i thought i was just problematic

yep! same. i have dyscalculia but not dyslexia

Same and my family always say it’s because you need to wear your glasses 😂

same i just clicked on the video for fun but now i am worried

A little trick I learned although it doesn’t always help but you left hand makes an L ( I was an adult when I learned this) it’s also an easy way to understand greater and less then when it comes to math.

Hey. Just wanted to say you're doing great in school, just by giving your best effort. Keep it up. You're not dumb - we all have unique strengths.

Thank you both for the advice and for the kind words.

Thanks for your comment! It will be interesting to see how technology changes the life of us dyslexics moving forward. I can definitely imagine how teachers might use it as an easy way out of properly teaching dyslexics according to their needs in the classroom...

Thank you 🙏
