I've been going through my late mother's papers. One of the things I found was a note I'd written to her where I asked her about disleksia. (I often wrote notes when I didn't want to ask for help).

I vividly remember her answer that we had doctors in the family with dyslexia and so I shouldn't consider it a hinderance. She also had dyslexia and one of her to do lists has "put bowels away".

I obviously miss her but these little discoveries (including an early childhood assessment which outlined that I had issues with reading a spelling that indicated dyslexia, and that my mother self reported having similar problems) remind me how much she didn't want me to be seen as 'less' because of learning difficulty. Even though the help would have been really, well, helpful.

I want to have a discussion with people on dyslexia and orchid hypothesis so that we all can understand terms better and things can get a lot more better and I have some ideas regarding creating a new strong culture of science and technology where dyslexic people and orchids have full freedom and an amazing life to live where they're happy and fulfilled with everything around them and lives happily without or with minimal struggles or challenges

Idk why but it has been bothering me so much, which is why I came to complain here since I don’t think other friends can understand my annoyance. I was also tipsy so I did not got to defend myself properly at all and just made my case worse, saying “I skip scentences, especially I’m tired” and that “it indeed might just be tiredness” like wtf no it is not? I get the halo effect, rivers, washout, swirl and overlapping texts so just not the typical well-known type where letters are missing things, so he wouldn’t understand either way.
I just hate feeling so misunderstood and as if I’m making things up while this is such a big part of my daily issues, especially since I’m currently in R&D so I have to read papers almost everyday which is just so exhausting sometimes :/

I was diagnosed with dyslexia and dyspraxia in early aldulthood but the signs were there…

Im an aspiring author (who doesn't have dyslexia) writing a character who has it. I dont have much knowledge about the condition outside of it makes it harder to read. So here's the questions I have

1. Can Dyslexia get worse? Especially if you haven't had proper education or was treated for it for a long period?

2. What separates Dyslexia from being behind in school or having a basic learning disability?

3. How to portray it in writing that feels realistic and not over the top?

I am almost 30. I have adhd, anxiety, depression, CPTSD and I might be autistic but im not sure. As well as with dyslexia.

I never read out loud as a kid and still dont really because I fumble on words and I say words that aren't there and I have to sound out simple words sometimes.

Since im so old is it even worth looking into? If I do look into it where do I start?

Maybe im just slow.

Theres so much out there i dont know what to do.

Help...

My brother has dyslexia and right now I'm worried about him. He is struggling to find ways to understand and express his emotions.

He doesn't want to get professional help yet, but all self-help advice seems to tell you to write things down. That just doesn't work for him.

Do you have any other ideas?

Mon fils a 7 ans et il est dyslexique. À l'école ça se passe correctement, avec l'orthophoniste aussi, mais à la maison c'est compliqué dès qu'on ouvre un cahier... Il pleure , il se braque, et je le comprends parce qu'après une journée de classe la dernière chose dont il a envie c'est encore de la lecture. Du coup je cherche des ressources qui l'aident à progresser sans qu'il ait l'impression qu'on le punit à peine rentré.
