It isn't actually distorted irl but I understand the message is it's hard to make out which makes it pretty accurate

In my experience as a dyslexic organist (reading up to 3 staves of music) it's very difficult for me to decode music fast enough to keep a proper tempo. Also, if I'm playing two notes in my right hand, say a printed C-natural and an E-flat, I will unintentionally switch those and play C-sharp and E-natural. I can't help these minor mistakes and seem to repeat them over and over. The only way I can play a piece of mid-level music like a simple Bach chorale, is to practice it very slowly until I've memorized it. Even then, If I make even a minor mistake, it turns into a train wreck. I was given an IQ test in school because of concerns that I had development issues. It turned out that I scored very high. Unfortunately, Dyslexia was not on the radar back in the 60's. I finally got tested and it confirmed that I have dyslexia with an additional component of ADHD. Many fine musicians are dyslexic. However, they struggle with reading, especially sight reading. My final thought, is that it has helped me to read music. I also read books but it takes forever. My dyslexia is mild (there are no wiggly things) but I do get disoriented very easily. I'm very lucky to be able to pursue my musical desires even if on a limited basis. Thanks so much for posting this video, we need lots more. 😃

I was diagnosed with mild dyslexia in elementary school. I can read but not very fast. When I got to middle school I joined the band, playing trumpet. I started off in low 2nd chair sheet music. I quickly went to 1st chair music, then to the actual 1st chair in the class. As I entered high school, I started in 3rd chair sheet music (i was 3rd from the last trumpet position). The music at that level was terrible. It was spontanious and was filler music. Also, it was very hard...so i had respect for the lower chair people. Nevertheless, after the first testing i went back to 1st chair music. I was somewhere in the middle. Then for the next 2 years i was the 3rd chair position (two upperclassmen were ahead of me). And my senior year i was in the 1st position and was the leader of the trumpet section of the marching band. During all of yhis time i couldn't read music. I had an idea of what the note rhythems were, ie. I knew that they were whole, half, quarter, sixteenth, triplets, etc BUT I couldn't put them together. After the first couple notes I couldn't read anymore. The reason I started in 3rd chair music my freshmen year was because it was based on some sight music....which I can't do. I was very lucky (looking back) because the teachers (in both middle and high) played the piece when we received the music. Once i heard it, I knew 90% of it l...of course i didnt remember everything. But it was easy for me to memorize the music after playing it 2 or 3 times. When i was in the 3rd chair sheet music, i knew i had to get to 1st chair music because you cant hear the 3rd chair parts, which means there is nothing to base it on. I couldn't even tap my foot and play at the same time. I never told my teacher until a few years ago. He asked why i didnt tell him when i was a student, and i replied "because you played the music in the radio prior to us playing it, so i didn't see the need. That was part of it, but i also didnt want to be moved from 1st chair or to have him think less of me.

I was today years old when I when I found out I had auditory processing disorder. This and a few other videos exactly describe what I have tried to explain to people for decades. Thank you for giving it a name. This clip here from the movie Finding Nemo is how I describe it to people. "it's like he's trying to speak to me but I have no idea what's he's saying". kzbin.info/www/bejne/borPp5l-ZqiWgdU

crazy🤯

You define dyslexic strengths to be the Blue side of the brain. BULLSHIT This is a very wrong message. The dyslexic brain organization is about SHORT Neurons or LONG Neurons Lets try math. 20% of the population has many long neurons and not so many short neurons. These many long neuron people think a bit different. 80% of the population has many short neuron and not so many long neurons. Creative dyslexic thinking is the result of hard work discipline and passion. Creative short neuron thinking is the result of hard work discipline and passion. Stop teaching 80% of the population they tend to be not so creative!

I can absolutely confirm it from a personal standpoint. It’s very difficult to reuse sometimes it’s to do with working memory which you need is your playing and reading. Of course this leads to stress and anxiety only compounding the situation particularly as you read the notes incorrectly.that said listening by ear hearing and playing and actually visually seeing someone carry out the playing of notes whether it’s on a piano bed itself much more quickly than trying to reach from Page

Thank you Julie. Your presence during meetings has been more than a God send for our family.

I've had this my whole life and I'm only learning about it at 34. I could really use a hug right now.

I think a good way to explain Auditory Processing Disorder is like when you are learning a new language but only speak at a beginner's level or intermediate level. Then when you meet a person who speaks the language fluently, you might pick up on enough words to understand the general context of what they're saying, or you might pick up on so few words that you don't understand what they're saying at all. That's what it's like for me anyway. I have Auditory Processing Disorder, and I have been learning Spanish recently. So when someone talks to me in Spanish and they say a lot of things really fast, I notice a similarity in how I'm hearing people when they're speaking to me in English. Of course the difficulty in understanding in English is not as bad since English is my native language. After a search online, I found a description saying "Difficulty following multi-step directions that are presented verbally, without visual cues. Easily distracted by loud or spontaneous (sudden) sounds." This is accurate. But I would also add that it depends on one's focus as well. Suppose something happened that really upset you and then something is being discussed with you immediately afterwards. It is harder to focus then on what the person is saying to you because of the emotions that you are feeling and the thoughts you are having about what had previously occurred. I think most people would agree that they have had this experience and many would say that they have had the issue of hearing because of loud noises in the background. Most people would also say that they had difficulty understanding somebody when they were talking really fast and going over a lot of information. Auditory processing disorder in this way is having this experience more often than usual.

A bit exaggerated for me is like I can hear clearly, but it takes time to actually understand what people say to me.

I only got brain out of that 😅 I’m getting tested soon to get help

I found the noise to be annoying

Yeah it wears you out mentally !

What are some "masking" behaviors that you have noticed?

Not wrong it sounds like this kinda on the radio sometimes, speakerphone and the intercom system at stores. I find they are the worst but it sounds like this sometimes when a lot of people are talking around you but it’s not this bad

Ignoring all the weird digital distortion in the clip, this actually isn't too far off.

My wife really felt this book is very helpful. I enjoy listening to books and fell I get better results from listening than reading books will this be available on audio?
