Anybody have it or suffer from it

dyslexics of the world untie.

What do you do with a dyslexic with OCD? Take him to the DOC.

Why is Dyslexia so hard to spell?

 

[Bigtwin]

My business partner does, very badly. Can be highly amusing, but she finds it very frustrating. On the plus side, some folk equate it with being thick, which she is very good at using to her advantage.

Yep. Some say it is an excuse for being ‘academically lazy’ (read thick) unenlightened teachers see it a justifiable excuse to ignore the child, me I have learned to live with it, it’s a hindrance that can be overcome with a little bit of hard work and some understanding by the educationally enlightened. I suffer from word blindness. I write a sentence and cannot see the missing words, my solution is to read the sentence backwards to my self if it sounds correct then it is. I believe it is a method used by technical proof readers.

Yous be raeding my post again?

 

[Bigtwin]

I left her a note. I told her she was an absolute dog. She thought it was a compliment.....

 

[simon_brooke]

I have it, very severely. I left school still not able to write properly, and with only two 'O' grades. Then I discovered word processors with spelling correctors, and now I have a first class honours degree.

It's very tough for children.

Em, I od.

I was dyslexic until I was 16.....

When I was younger I had some sort of learning difficulties and had different tests done (IQ and some other things) which we thought said I was Dyslexic. Now, you can get more financial aid at UNI if you are so I took all the documents in at school. The lady read through it and said I wasn't, but it did say I have a learning difficulty but because I had 'extra lessons' at school I should be over it by now.

My spoolling is awful though so who knows

 

[PaulB]

Is there such a thing as dyslexia or is it an excuse we make so as not to offend the slow kids?

 

[ACS]

When I was at school offending the ‘slow kids’ was considered an essential part of the educational process, this is an age when left handed writers were forced to use their right hand and then get berated for having bad hand writing.

Being guilty of being slow, thick, stupid, useless, disruptive condemned you to a life of misery, bullying, parental pressure, abuse and isolation, but who in the school system gave a toss because education was always devised to get the top 10% of the academically able into university, the kids of the middle classes into technical college and the scum into the factories.

Today children who have learning difficulties at least have some support system within the educational establishment giving them a slim chance at progressing educationally.

I have two children who are dyscalculic (dyslexia, but with respect to numbers), and they find life at school very hard because if you think it's hard to get a child diagnosed with dyslexia, you want to try it with dyscalculia.

One thing I always find amusing though is that dyslexia is an anagram of daily sex. It could lead to people writing 'I apologise for my spelling - I have daily sex'.

 

[Mr Pig]

I'm dyslexic, both with words and numbers. Effected me terribly at school, badly effected the work I went on to do but hey, some people get born with no arms so shut the f*** up and get on with it :0)

That’s the point Mr P most of us do so every day and just because the condition may not sit comfortably on your shoulders we still have the right to discuss the subject in response to the question despite your eloquent instructions.
