im a very bad dyslexic and yes my spelling is rubish infact its only my reeding thats any good.
obviously that gets me into trouble from time to time and keeps me from decent jobs. infact my curent job is in jeapordy because of it.
i just want to know if any one else is having problems with dyslexia? or any other lerning difficulties

I've never been diagnosed but I jumble my words a lot when talking.

Writing isn't a problem, reading is normally okay but there are times the brain doesn't process everything right and I have to re-read it.

dyslexia isnt cut and dry you may be dyslexic it can effect math writing reeding obviously my grammar and spelling
there is a list of famous dyslexics including hans christian anderson

I think I might have some sort of math dyslexia. Sometimes when I look at 2 numbers when I'm doing math, I get them mixed up, or if there's a negative, I forget it sometimes, when I had just written it down. Which is why I'm failing math.

one of the problems i find is i some times reed the same sentence over and over before i notice im doing so
worst thing i got help at school .
but because no one told me why i needed all this help and my father the @#$% he is kept telling me i was worthless i never really tried i just acepted i was an idiot who couldn't reed and write some thing even my headmaster was keen to let me know. it wasnt until 1 year before i left school. a teacher mentioned off hand her son was dyslexic.
i found out i wasnt this stupid blob . could learn. up till that i still struggled whith reeding. now i read the last harry potter in 23 houres close to the record.
if you have dyslexia you aren't an idiot who can't learn. infact you are more artistic than most . davinchi. cher. sr richard branson. einstein. shakespear. hanse christian anderson. sandra bullock.all dyslexic

I have it. I've been told by various professionals holding lenghty degrees that they cannot understand how it is I can read and write and not look like a dunce doing it.

You know how? You work your arse off. I decided a long time ago I wasn't going to be burdened with some go no where job. What do I do now? I'm a nurse. Is it hard? Yes. Do I suck at math? You bet. Is my spelling godawful? Sure is. What do I do? Its called a calculator and a dictionary. It probably helped that my parents completely denied I had it and just sent me to an after school tutor for "advanced learning", I was going there at 15 to learn about verbs. Hahaha.

I have heard every slur about my intellect there could possibly exist, that's what made me want to succeed even more. To prove those churs wrong.

The reading sentences over and over again is also a symptom of Irlens syndrome, its easily fixed with colour tinted lenses. Perhaps look into that. A good set of Irlens lenses can sometimes ease the symptoms of dyslexia.

The only suggestion I can make will only help you if you really want to move forward. Read. A lot. Whatever you can get your hands on. I went for encylopaedias. Find some math questions online and work at them. And be prepared to fail and take ages at doing it. And Shakespheare. Nothing like ye ole insults! The other thing I do is have a list of commonly used words I always botch up, encylopeadias will be going on that list. -_-'

I'm 29, and only now have I reached a point where peopel think I'm lying when I tell them I'm dyslexic. The vocal mix ups of my words? People think I'm just being funny.

The only thing that annoys me about it now is when people use it as some kind of crutch to illicit sympathy or to get out of something. I really dont' like it when people don't work at it and make the rest of us functioning, hard working dyslexics, look like a gaggle of dolts.

YOU MISS-SPELLED PEOPLE LOL

Seriously. The length of this post impresses me. Especially since you mentioned what you do in order to make it fully understandable.

Haha, no, I think you're just a normal teenager struggling in Math class!

Although Galvatron X is probably right, there is a math equivalent of dyslexia, called dyscalculia, at least according to TV Tropes.
