Dyslexia.....An eye opener.

[Curvaceous Kate]

I disagree Kate as in todays technological world, everyone (my friends with dyslexia included) is constantly on social media & forums. For business & pleasure. Granted, I dont think they are on escort forums, or I hope they arent on this one!
I didnt mean to make an issue of that though or offend anyone. So my apologise to anyone who is dyslexic on this forum if they thought I was. I was just stating my experience of my friends who have it x

I have a relative who has it and he was taken the piss out of through out most of his life and mostly by his own Dad. He now lives in another Country where it took him 3 years to learn the lingo and he is doing very well in his chosen career. He found it a real challenge to learn a second language and there were times he didn't think he could do it. His kids are bilingual.

Socially he had no problems, other than mates doing what they do and taking the Michael out of each other, but you wouldn't have known, because we never saw him write anything.

I also think that as was already mentioned, there are different levels of dyslexia and some have difficulty with number recognition as well as letter and train yourself as much as you like you will slip up now and again. It also depends on the support and education that they have had, as many older people didn't get any support at all at School, so for the older generation it was a matter of just 'dealing' with it.

Spell check only works if you can recognise what you are looking at is correct.

What I didn't realise was that for one,kids (im not sure about adults as I have yet to read more) can show signs of poor organisational skills , have poor timekeeping and even show signs of "an awkward pencil grip".

I thought it was something that affected only spelling or writing and therefore that symptoms were always something that could be seen with the naked eye.

It hampers reading too. It's the stark white background that does it. Different shades of pastel colours is much better, although the colour that works best is different for each person.

shes just saying that its more noticable on forums because everything is written down not spoken aloud Im pretty sure, so just adding to what you are saying really not disagreeing with it

I understood Kate's post perfectly, thanks! But I do disagree about the verbal thing to a degree & the reason I do so is because it annoys me greatly when visiting friends, in restaurants & bars with friends & every fecker has their face stuck in their phones, ipads etc. Even walking down the street, nearly everyone has their eyes & hands glued to some form of electronic gadget. It bugs me.
Seriously making to much of an issue with that one part of the sentence in my post!

Wow! thats harsh that his Dad was so cruel! Very glad to hear that he is doing so well now.

I do know of various different degrees of dyslexia as someone already said it is quite common. Certainly going by the number of people I know who are dyslexic anyway.
Most of the people I know who are dyslexic are late 30's & upwards so I guess for them it is a case of just getting on with it.

Not sure why you mentioned the spell check to me! (What did I spell wrong?) Although on the occasions when I use it I always assume its the first answer on the list that's correct But then I'm just an ass & not dyslexic. Also I see so much bad spelling & grammar on social media & forums from loads of people that arent dyslexic, just lazy. x

I'm not dyslexic but sort of color blind, can't read well anything, which is red, never mind how big are the letters or have to have a very close look...

So I understand how hard it can be for living with something like this, I've a close friend from elementary school, who had issues with dyslexia, remember quiet well she was treated badly by teachers, until the real problem was discovered.

I didnt know that about the colours. It effects so many people in so many different ways. x
