If you're cross-eyed and have dyslexia, can you see okay?
Perhaps my early problems with dyslexia made me more intuitive: when someone sends me a written proposal, rather than dwelling on detailed facts and figures I find that my imagination grasps and expands on what I read.
I'd like to help other kids with dyslexia, because I'm dyslexic. It was very hard, and I know that what I went through, other kids are going through.
I used to love reading when I was little, and then it became difficult and I didn't understand why. I thought, what a bummer, my passion all drained out of me. So when I found out I had dyslexia, it was like, oh, that's what it was.
I've never gone to school for recording. I wish I understood it more. School's been hard, learning things has been hard, because of the A. D. H. D. , or dyslexia, or whatever you want to call it, but I know how to come up with stuff to bring it together.
In order to be Miss Anybody you had to have excellent grades, and I had terrible grades because of my dyslexia.
I guess through my learning disability, through dyslexia, I've always been a visual learner - I take in everything through my eyes.
I do a lot of work with the Dyslexia Institute because, for people with dyslexia who do not have parental support, it is a huge disadvantage. I was fortunate because my Mum was a teacher and she taught me to work hard.
I was growing up in the 50's and 60's. Back then they didn't even know what dyslexia was.
One of the places where research is needed is all the sensory problems. And you get sensory problems not just with autism, but with dyslexia, learning problems, ADHD, attention deficit, you know, things like sound sensitivity, problems with fluorescent lighting.
I've got dyslexia. When I was in school, it wasn't really recognized as much as it is today; I'm really glad that people are a lot more aware of it now.
I hated school. . . . One of the reasons was a learning disability, dyslexia, which no one understood at the time. I still can't spell. . .
I think everybody should have dyslexia and A. D. D.
The looks, the stares, the giggles. . . I wanted to show everybody that I could do better and also that I could read.
I was never good at sports. I was never good at exams, because they didn't understand dyslexia.
Scrabble was invented by Nazis to piss off kids with dyslexia.
The woman who knew that I had dyslexia - I never interviewed her.
You can be extremely bright and still have dyslexia. You just have to understand how you learn and how you process information. When you know that, you can overcome a lot of the obstacles that come with dyslexia. When you figure out how you learn, you can accomplish whatever you want.
Though my parents assured me over and over again that I wasn't stupid or slow, I sensed that my dyslexia was now a stigma on all of us.
I definitely have managed to overcome dyslexia now to become a fully functional human being but things were a lot more difficult when I was younger.
