All About Dyslexia!!!

Did you know dyslexia is a very common learning disorder that many people struggle with? Lots of dyslexics might have trouble seeing words the same way as others do. Keep reading to learn more about dyslexia and how it affects different people!

Dyslexia is a common disorder that lots of people have. Many people are born with it, and have trouble writing, reading, or even using numbers and math! Schoolwork might most probably be a challenge for people with dyslexia. Dyslexia is not caused by brain damage, people with dyslexia can learn to compensate their weaknesses by using language. Dyslexia is lifelong, and it cannot be cured. 50 to 60 percent of people with ADHD have another disability, which is most commonly dyslexia.

Some symptoms of dyslexia are:

Jumbling up phrases, delayed speech development, trouble expressing themselves, not much understanding or rhyming words, and difficulty or not much interest learning the alphabet and different words.

A dyslexic person's brain might be different than a regular person's brain.

Younger grade dyslexics have these problems:

They might have trouble with nursery rhymes, trouble remembering letters of the alphabet, or they can't say their name correctly.

Older grade dyslexics might have these problems:

They can't remember people's names, they avoid reading out loud, pauses, hesitates, says "Um," makes weird guesses for unfamiliar words, or confusing and mixing up similar sounding words.

Dyslexia is not the same in every person. Some people with dyslexia struggle more than others do.

Dyslexia is also known as "Word blindness", because dyslexics struggle seeing or writing words the correct way.

Another case of dyslexia is acquired dyslexia, or "alexia".

Dyslexia is the most common learning disability, and it affects about 3 to 7 percent of the population.

Dyslexia was first identified in 1881.

Lots of people get dyslexia because of genetic problems. An older person from their family might have had dysexia, causing another younger person in that family to get it.

1 out of 10 people have dyslexia, that's very common! And if 1 out of 10 people have dyslexia, then about 800 million people have it in the world!

Dyslexia affects boys more than girls, 60% of people with dyslexia are boys, while some scientists argue each gender has the same amount of dyslexics and the other scientist's information is false.

Even though dyslexics struggle with words, numbers, and writing, they can still have a very high IQ level and they can still be smart.

2 to 4 percent of people with dyslexia have severe dyslexia, which might be even more difficult to handle than regular dyslexia.

Did you know that 20% of all CEOs are dyslexic, and about 70% of people with dyslexia graduate to college! That's cool!

Imagine having a dyslexic's eyesight. they might see words backwards or upside down, and words might even jump around the page! Imagine seeing that!

Dyslexia has nothing to do with eyesight, it is the brain that is mixing up all of the words.

No matter how much a dyslexic person sees a word, they might have to keep on memorizing the spelling again and again to keep it in their mind.

Letters a dyslexic sees might be mixed up, and "bird" might turn into "drib" in their vision.

Dyslexics might have trouble reading or seeing similar-shaped letters differently, like b,p,d, and q.

Dyslexics might be able to read perfectly fine, but they can't write or spell words very well!

Lots of letters might look the same when a dyslexic tries to read, so they may get confused.

When a dyslexic reads, they might have a severe headache or maybe even a big stomachache.

Words a dyslexic reads might appear all bunched together in that dyslexic's eyesight.

About 80% of dyslexics have a problem with organization, planning things, or even staying on task!

Even though dyslexics have a disability looking at words right, they might still have high creativity or lots of intelligence.

Even though people have the same disability, dyslexics might have a harder time seeing words more than other dyslexics. Some will have severe dyslexia, while others may only have dyslexia that doesn't affect them much so it will be easier to read for them.

Dyslexia also is a problem with language processing.

I hope you had a lot of fun learning about dyslexia and how it affects different people and how much it does! Dyslexics have a really hard time learning while not being able to see words or numbers or even write correctly! See you later, bye!!! :)
