What are the impacts of dyslexia?

Question

What are some impacts that affect people that have dyslexia

Answer 1

Dyslexia is where the hand, brain and eye don't communicate the same way as everyone else's.  Simple things like b and d can get confused. So can q and p.  A dyslexics brain see's things backwards and upside down so getting it right can sometimes be a bit 50/50.  Same for numbers.  My worst ones were always 3 and 7.

Dyslectics see things in 3D, where non-dyslexics see thing in 2D.  That's why we're usually quite creative.  We see things as shapes and patterns.  

However it is very frustrating, when certain things just wont go into long term memory and you have to strategically place sticky notes all over the house to remind your self.  I get numbers in the wrong order and I still put the tails the wrong way round on letters like d and g.  But I cope.  Allot of children who are dyslexic slip through the net at schools because their good at hiding it. Sometimes they will be the class joker, but what their really doing is buying them selves more time to think about your question.  My Dyslexia has always been worse when I'm being rushed.  My brain just needs a bit more time to translate what is on the page and then process it.  Its the equivalent to the short keys on your computer.  Imagine   you didn't have a mouse and had to do everything via commands on the key board. you'd get there eventually but it would take a little longer.  

To those who think its funny to spell "bkca wrods" wrong, would they be so cocky in front of Einstein? he was dyslexic too you know :)

Answer 3

Well, it makes it much harder to read, so they typically don't do as well in things like English, science...that isn't to say they can't be very sucessful, they just have to work at it more.

Answer 4

I am a numerical dyslexic, in other words I can read well, although I was taught differently, breaking the words up into sounds as opposed to whole word recognition, I just have problems with numbers, and my co-ordination isn't great. I had a rough time in school, but that was a few years ago now. Now I work in a medical practise doing their accounts (yeah! for computers).

Answer 5

People with dyslexia have varying degrees of difficulty.

With reading and writing they may see letters and words reversed and they struggle with sequencing.There may  be difficulty in copying and reading the board in class.

They may seem uncoordinated and have trouble with left and right.Also problems with spacial awareness, organisation and memory. Following musical rhythm can be daunting to some dyslexics.

Not all dyslexics struggle with everything and  to the same degree. There are tests which can highlights areas of particular strengths and weaknesses. For children with dyslexia nowadays there is a lot more awareness and help within schools than there used to be, certainly in the UK.
