My dad was dyslexic back in the '50's and '60's, and they tested his IQ He would test genius level, so they assumed that he was so stubborn that he would refuse to learn how to read While dyslexia is pervasive, as she said, it took him until his twenties to actually enjoy reading

No, this video is not for me I’m inspired, but I don’t have dyslexia, even though I do struggle with reading, and writing to the point where I’ve given up, I can barely write down What’s on my mind too little or not at all to be honest, but I have an intellectual disability, persuasive, Developmental Disorder, I look completely normal my learning disability is more severe than my ID or PDD But looking at you, you look completely normal I probably wouldn’t even qualify to date you Whether you’re taking or not doesn’t matter you are way more successful enough If you can post a video on YouTube and talk about yourself I will definitely subscribed to your channel

I was diagnosed with multiple learning disabilities; I struggled with every school subject I failed many of my tests and exams I never made it through college I barely passed high school; my mom had to help me with projects I did not have very many friends I’m very insecure around everyone; especially people who I find much more attractive than me I feel inferior to everybody I feel lost, stupid and judged I don’t pick up on jokes; everybody said I was a little slow I’m very nervous around people all of the time; even my closest friends I watch skin care and hair care and makeup videos on YouTube all the time and I still have no idea how to use many of the beauty products I can’t remember what I see in any video I watch I really hope I can in someway remember what you said this video What you say to me seems very meaningful I never feel quite right

How to get tested for a learning disability?? My partner needs to be diagnosed We are trying to find resources, in virginia My partner has this and was abused by his former spouse Resources for testing? He does not make much money He is an adult and his former spouse would mock him daily and shame him

Comment from : My UFO Story

Oh this broke my heart I was in a similar situation as a child my mother was told I would never succeed in life but my personality would get me through life I struggled and I was never helped in school I hate every minute in school the humiliation and trauma has stayed with me for life I went to university aged 41 and was finally diagnosed with dyslexia in the final year, and graduated in an honours degree without any assistance I now know that it doesn’t reflect our intelligence others make us feel stupid which we aren’t 😘

Comment from : Andrew Saunderson

Katherine, when teachers blame the child, it means it's very bad teaching Teachers should realise that there are many different ways of teaching
Comment from : pooka B

thank you, this helped me to understand my kid better and to keep encouraging them for literally a million hours they have been putting into their studies with just a 'normal' results, at least they know that their hard work I have always appreciate it, and not just focusing on the remarkable score itself

When I was in the 4th grade I was put in a special Ed class due to a comprehension disability People don’t understand the mental health struggles that came with feeling isolated and separated at a young age Every morning I had to walk to the other side of the school ALONE while my cousins and friends all went to the regular Ed hallways But I got back into regular Ed in 9th grade🎉! I changed my IEP to IGP, I increased my Lexile score, I took honors classes and graduated HS class of 2021

Comment from : Lee, Eve she her

I also have a learning disability but I also have ADHD anxiety depression and PTSD so it was really hard for me to to learn in school I would always lose track in school so they had to put me in a special ed class and I hated it so much I would get bullied people would laugh and say haha your special Ed why are you stupid why do you forgot things so quickly why are you so slow just hurtful mean things the teacher had 0 faith in me that I would graduate fifth grade because I was behind my reading and I would get things slower than the other students so I would compare myself to the other students and I would say why is this person getting so I felt like no one got me I felt alone sad and afraid to tell people that I am special Ed and why it takes me longer to learn I still haven't told anyone this so this so this is my first time saying this in public

Comment from : Nelson De la Rosa Acosta

Powerful! Thank you for sharing! It was really difficult to share but how beautiful! All the negative untrue comments you received were all about the person making the comment and not about you I appreciate the tips you shared Life is too short to care about what other people think; In the end, what they think or say really won't matter, for you Love what you said about using criticism to motivate you to be the best you can be I may have an undiagnosed disability Thanks again!
Comment from : el material

I’m 17 and in 10th Been held back before I have dislexia, ADHD and dysgraphia I couldn’t even read a book until 3rd grade What I want people to know is that having a learning disability is not a bad thing, it just means you have to try harder People that have learning disabilities are warriors I never give up on myself and nor should you You just have to say it in your mind that I am capable of achieving anything I put my mind to While you might be hating school you have an entire beautiful life ahead of you NEVER GIVE UP you can be anything you want in this world
Comment from : Miles Eddy

Im 18 and I got diagnosed with dyslexia few weeks before turning 17 And I really just didn't understand that I've always struggled in school I've was told to just fucus harder and more Seeing other students getting the best grades and them getting a results they like, while I'm here I have to put more effort to just get a bad results made me frustrated I now have anxiety and depression because if it brbrThe teachers always ask why don't I ask when I need help I like can't do because it's embarrassing for being the the only one struggling and asking for help in class And feeling a lot of shame I do care what other people think about me, and I don't was them to know that I'm that what I'm slow learner brbrIt gets exhausting working hard and not getting the results I want, feeling like dumb and stupid, failing things, not feeling like you belong there and to know that I'm gonna make even more mistakes than people without LD

Comment from : Tymir Dumas

To all of you, keep hope alive , I learned a long time ago , we just a learning difference and we can add apt, but it's important that the people around us know what we have and learn how to support us Blessings to all of us we are all gifted in some way Take that and run with it
Comment from : Aton Sol

Thank you I am a retired teacher and counselor with a learning challenge in reading and math, I have a master's in educational counseling and have begun writing two books , yet I still struggle with a world , a society that has little tolerance for my blunders in every day things I reached out for this video in a moment if sadness cause I get so frustrated with myself cause I can't relax or I will make a mistake that will upset others in particular my wife who is a genius in many areas But has her own emotional issues that impact her tolerance level Thanks for sharing, I know we are not alone ever

Comment from : Everything with alexkay

So inspiring! I’m 30 yrs old and just found out last year I’m dyslexic Grew up my whole life thinking I was stupid I listened to what teachers said about me and just decided not to bother trying I did go to college but it took me 7 years to get a bachelors degree at Mizzou So I can’t tell you how much this means to mean to hear your story
Comment from : ShelbyKay

I can somewhat relate as have the same problem with speech I know what i want to say but it doesnt come out how i intended I forget words and wonder if people think i am stupid I am fine with reading and writing though Interviews are absolute hell so I have been doing the same kind of work for the whole of my life never growing Socialising just doesnt happen Up until recently i preferred not to speak at all in meetings or contribute to discussions, now I am somewhat 'out' I do sometimes contribute

Comment from : Faith Hope Love

People need to understand that there can be a lot of trauma with these kids that have to live everyday with a learning difference When they make a mistake in the classroom and the whole class laughs at him or her, it hurts When someone calls him or her a retard for not getting the answer right, it hurts The ill feeling turns into low self and significantly affects the kid in many many ways A learning difference doesn’t just stay in the classroom, it follows them everywhere they go
Comment from : Michael Knapp

There’s far more help now than ever in our schools but it’s still difficult for children because of how different they feel Good luck to you in whatever you do in your life Life is hard no matter what It’s how you approach it and the encouragement others give to people that struggle to give them the confidence to achieve things in their own lives
Comment from : anthony craddock

I grew up with learning disability and petrified of reading out loud and have to do you like current there’s presentations are in grade school after high school petrified and I suck at test… But I can read really well now and spell pretty good a lot better than I did before

Comment from : Jessica Mendoza

Thank you for caring enough for others as to courageously share this! Continue seeking and sharing your personal talents
Comment from : Maria Gibbons

I really understand what you are experiencing They are a lot of people who are suffering from this condition and they are afraid to ask for help due to embarrassment, sometimes not only your teacher can make you feel bad your family members also and it hurts so badly knowing that you are trying your best but it's never good enough please if there's any help out there that you can offer to someone who is suffering from this condition please do🙏

I never knew how much I needed this because I have a learning disability too and I feel stupid when I can't remember things because of my short term memory loss and I related so much to your video I hate saying that I need someone to explain what a certain word means even if I already know it and your video made me realize that its ok to speak up and I don't have to feel bad anymore Thank you for doing this! You are my hero!!! :)

Comment from : roshne

I’m 17 but when I was a little kid I struggled with Auditory Processing disorder I struggled horribly academically and eventually mentally I got help thanks to a program called Arrowsmith which pretty much cured my disability as crazy as it sounds, but talking about my past experiences with the disability is a very touchy, emotional topic for me
