Answer 4

yeah my dad and two sisters have/had it.  you see words all jumbled or backwards sometimes or its just hard for you to read in general.  but i think my sister grew out of it because all she does is read now and she is super smart.

Answer 5

Dyslexia is a language learning disability. It causes the person to have difficulty learning to read, spell and many other things. Contrary to what is commonly believed dyslexia is not just 'seeing things backwards'

Answer 6

yeah i have it...i have something called orthographic dyslexia. most people think that there is only one type of dyslexia, and thats not true.  not everyone reads letters backwards.  mine is more with being able to think about the letters and writing them.  other people mix letters up or have other problems with reading and writing

Answer 7

It's kinda like a reading disorder. You can't process words or numbers in order.

Answer 8

Yes--- It's when people read something and the letters are all jumbled up on the page.

EX: we would see the word: WORLD

They might see WORDL.... It's reversing letters

Answer 9

Umm yeah.

Its when your brain works differently than the average brain. You read things differently, but your still considered normal. Your just a differnt person and your brain is unique. Usually 'dyslexic ' people have a hard time reading and usually dont want to.

Answer 10

Is a problem that some people have, for example, you read something and it's hard for you to understand, or when you tey to remember something from a while away and you tend to forget...

Answer 11

yes it's a learning disability that the person doesn't read things like most people do.  maybe just some letters or numbers up to all of them.

people with dyslexia can learn to read and write but it takes them longer.

Answer 12

Yes I have heard of dyslexia.

I was diagnosed as being dyslexic when my daughter was, because my dyslexia was never picked up at school I failed my final year of high school, and did not learn to read until 14.

Both my daughter and I have dyscalculia (maths & symbols) as well, but my daughter also has dysgraphia (writing).

Yes we do confuse letters such a b's & d's etc, and often have problems with putting words and letters into phonological order, adding or omitting words and sometimes repeating words or sentences especially when copying from the board. We also misinterpret what is being said or heard, leading to confusion etc. There are many aspects of dyslexia that causes problems, and I have only listed a few things.

With certain strategies and support we can learn to read, write and spell. My daughter had real problems in writing down her thoughts and feelings but if asked to verbalize she would do it very well.

Having dyslexia does not mean that the we have low IQ levels, in fact many have above average IQ.

I have since return to study becoming a qualified Youth & Disability support worker, and sessional teacher. I have a special interest in learning disabilities, especially dyslexia.

I have included a link which you may find helpful, the last link show how we dyslexics see things, not necessarily backwards as some people think.

Answer 13

yes its a term in reffrence to reading skills. Something about when people miss words or letters when reading?? or when they read the wrong way?? Coloured glasses help i think!

Answer 14

Yes. Dyslexia is a learning disability, which can affect, reading, writing and spelling.

Answer 15

Yes-it's when your brain mixes up letters and words.  Regular words appear to someone w/ dyslexia like words in a 'word scramble puzzle'.

Answer 16

Yes, it is a disorder where things are done or read backwards. For example, a "d" and a "b" might be confused.

Answer 17

i have dyslexia its when you mix up numbers for example if it says the number 87 i will see it as 78. but it also makes you able to read backwards, upsidown, sideways, everyhing

Answer 18

Yes. Here is an example:

Non Dyslexic Spelling of "it's": it's

Dyslexic Spelling of "it's": ti's

Often things are often backwards.

Answer 19

Yes.  Find more info here.

Answer 20

Yes my cousin has it. Dyslexia is if you are reading or something you can see words / letters upside down, backwards and sometimes even letters like shapes.

Answer 21

Dyslexia is the inability to make complete sense of written words - misreading an s for an f, or scrambling the order.The eyes see the word, the brain mixes them up.

Answer 22

I thought it was pronounced aisxelyd, but yeah, I've heard of it, and suffer from an occasional episode of the oral variety.

Sometimes I make a cone phall to chat with a friend, or after school do my wome hork.  This manifestation was made famous by a gentleman named  William Archibald Spooner, thus they became known as spoonerisms.  Quotations attributed to Spooner include:

"The Lord is a shoving leopard" ("loving shepherd")

"It is kisstomary to cuss the bride" ("customary to kiss")

Answer 23

Well according the dictionary.com, dyslexia is "any of various reading disorders associated with impairment of the ability to interpret spatial relationships or to integrate auditory and visual information."

But the way I understood it was that it's a condition when it's hard for a person to tell apart numbers from letters and such.  I'm not sure if it has to do anything with how smart the person is, but I'm pretty sure people are born with this and it's possibly being cured, but you'd have to check on Wiki about that or ask another question if you're lazy.  

Anyway that's my answer and i promise i didn't look at anybody else's anwer even if i might not appear as the first answerer.  Hope I helped.

Answer 24

dyslexia is a disorder that blocks certain parts of the brain. some people with the disorder have a hard time reading or sounding out words, or write upside down. its really kind of depends on th person.

hope this helped:)

Answer 25

It is a condition where written or printed letters and numbers appear in your minds eys in a backwards order.

Answer 26

Yes it runs in my family with the females. They hate it but cant really help it.

Its kind of a backward or opposite way of thinking in terms of directions or speaking. For example: I ask my sister to go left at the light and she goes right instead because she needed to avoid the pud muddle. Most dyslexics are awful with directions and often get common numbers like phone numbers or address's wrong. My mom always gets my house number mixed up. Its 2404 but she often uses 4402. The numbers are the same just not in the right order.

Dyslexics also tend to lose things a lot like car keys.

Hope this helps and good luck with dealing with those who may get frustrated with you.

Answer 27

yes. It's a reading disorder when people read words differently. Read letters & numbers backwards, upside down, side ways or mixed up . It Gets confusing.

Answer 28

Yes. People with dyslexia read incorrectly. Sometimes letters are jumbled and in other cases letters are find but the order of words in a sentence are confused. It usually leads to bad spelling esp when handwriting and to a lesser extent when typing

Answer 29

Yes.

In the public school system we use the term specific learning disabled in the area of reading basics. We do not use the term dyslexia. Sufferers have average to above average intelligence.

Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that is neurological in origin. It is characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities. These difficulties typically result from a deficit in the phonological component of language that is often unexpected in relation to other cognitive abilities and the provision of effective classroom instruction. Secondary consequences may include problems in reading comprehension and reduced reading experience that can impede the growth of vocabulary and background knowledge.
