Types of Dyslexics: Combined Learning Differences (Test, Symptoms) | Dyspraxia, Autism, ADHD, ODD

[@DavidJVMusic]

Hey Arije, wow, I am almost without words. I always wondered if I had dyslexia from the age of 7 or 8, I was always in the lowest reading classes in school But no one bothered to connect the problem with dyslexia. At 9-10 I was diagnosed with LD(learning disorder) but neither my parents nor myself were given any information about correcting it or directions to make it not so hard for me. The answer I always got from EVERYONE was try harder. Today I think back and I just want to cry, I have tried so hard for so long that I am completely exhausted. I am completely mentally, physically, and psychologically exhausted. I'm not frozen/stunted(?), I can function but when it comes to having to over come a dyslexic hurdle(or other comorbitities), I am so exhausted that I need to gather myself and prepare myself, psych myself up. It's seems harder as I get older. My comorbitities are (as far as I can tell) ASD(aspergers), OCD, ADHD(inattentive), Dyslexia and maybe some Dyspraxia(I injure myself a lot but can never remember when, why or how), maybe Synesthesia. No one that I have told about these problems has ever understood how hard life is for me. So, I don't have permanent friends because they always out grow me, move on in life and I get left behind, so to speak. I try to be aware of when people need to phase my friendship out and just ride the wave away. (Just writing this has taken about 2 hours.) I don't even know where I was going with that.... I'm in the US, I grew up in a small rural arean where adults did not know that kids like me need help instead of being left to struggle. I'm terrible with writing... Thanks for reading this if you ever get to it and thanks for sharing this information.

I'm sorry to hear you've been struggling most of your life Davi, and things and situations have been difficult. Please know that you are not alone. I hope you get the correct care and connections you need to help you manage all of what you're going through. Stay strong, but most importantly never give up on yourself. The right people will come into your life to love, support and stay long term. Be well my friend! ❤

Oh my gosh! This video explains so much about me and my school years. I was diagnosed as dyslexic and I really struggle with it still. Every day ordinary things I struggle to do...read, dial a phone number, do math, spell, etc. I also was hyper, never could sit still, driving my teachers and parents nuts. My attention span was low, I was always so clumsy. My father used to comment on how clumsy I am. I still drop stuff, bump into things, break things all the time, and I fall down a lot, tripping over my own two feet. I am so uncoordinated. Terrible in sports and dreaded P.E. I was always last to be chosen as a team member, it was embarrassing. None of the team captains wanted me. I couldn't throw a ball or catch a ball, couldn't run without falling down or tripping. I have social skill issues. I had and still have trouble making and keeping friends, socializing, showing emotions, etc. I have no idea how to make small talk and I don't function at social gatherings. If forced to gather for a family function, I find some dark, quiet corner to go hide in, not mingling or interacting with anyone, and stay only long enough to be polite. I never knew what facial emotions I was supposed to show so I would watch what others did and copy them. I can't stand loud noises or bright lights and busy places send me into a panic attack. I used to have a horrible temper. I would throw things, yell, scream, daydream about getting revenge. But something happened in my childhood with my temper that was traumatic and after that, I took steps to learn to control my temper. After watching this video I now understand why I am like I am. Thank you for posting this video.

[@Koreangirl06-b8q]

I know how it's like. I have never been diagnosed but I think I have dyspraxia. I am terrible at sports. I text really slow. I am dyslexic with maps. But I am good with instruments and capable with algebra. But, does that mean I have dyspraxia?

[@abhikroy5871]

I can relate to all four, but mostly with ADHD. What I really can't imagine is the amount of research needed for making this video. That means deciphering a number of research papers, understanding the information in them and then combining all the information to come up with the content of this video. Being dyslexic, how do you manage to achieve all that? If you have a process that others can use please share, or make a video on that.

[@ArijeAikedeHaas]

Thank you for your nice comment. And you’re right I should probably also share some of the strategies that I use on a daily basis. :)

[@ronjaj.addams-ramstedt1023]

@@ArijeAikedeHaas one thing you could add to your toolbox is comparing what neurotypical autism / ADHD researchers study and how they word their findings vs. what #ActuallyAutistic and/or #ActuallyADHD researchers study and how they word their findings about various neurodivergenses. Furthermore, the differences between how most autistic and/or ADHDer parents like me describe our autistic and/or ADHDer offspring and how many neurotypical parents describe their autistic and/or ADHDer offspring can be profound.

Cool that you made a part two and included autism :) I also think that the information you provided about autistic women is very important!

[@ArijeAikedeHaas]

I think it’s crazy how often they have been overlooked. Sometimes they’re even falsely diagnosed with something else…

[@ronjaj.addams-ramstedt1023]

@@ArijeAikedeHaas we can replace that "sometimes" with "often," unfortunately. It is also disheartening how many general practitioners, who typically function as gatekeepers to autism evaluations, simply refuse to refer people who are socially read as women. Because they believe one or more of the myths about us autistics: that we cannot form long term relationships at all, that we never marry or have kids, that any fleeting (or fake) eye contact means autism is out of the question, that only engineering or mathematics are careers that we can excel in, etc. The worst is "It's so rare in women that you can't have it." (!!!) When we _know_ that they had to pass basic probability and statistics to become doctors, and the long tails of the normal distribution are a fact. Frustrating! I have read comments about experiences like those^ on Twitter, Facebook, KZbin and various forums since 2011 from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, India, New Zealand, South Africa, all the Nordic countries, the UK and the US (and these are just the ones I can remember off the top of my head).

Yes, I was refered for ASD evaluation only after I came in (for dyslexia evaluation) with my dad who is a walking stereotype of ASD and they noticed that I subconsciously copy his behaviour. The even funnier thing is that I got diagnosed with dyslexia at 17 because everyone in my previous school refused to acknowledge my symptoms due to my interest in linguistics and history.

[@joerussell6021]

I was diagnosed with dyslexia and dyspraxia at the age of 28yrs. Last year I was diagnosed with ASD and ADHD, I'm now 53yrs. And after watching you I think I do have ODD!

[@mrcraigface]

Why are people in life so determined to deny neurodivergent experience? They are sceptical about how much dyspraxia affects my life but then get annoyed at forgetfulness, clumsiness and “butting in” to conversations (it takes me time to formulate responses and often the conversation has moved on but I am unable to follow the thread whilst thinking of my response).

[@elsoverloop1909]

As a woman with a combo of ASD, inattentive ADHD, dyslexia, ocd, executive dysfunction and anxiety i can say yes to almost all of your questions, and your video's give me some explanation to what conditions the yesses belong. I am always trying to learn more about this because my children also have ASD and/or Adhd, and probably some other conditions too, and this way I can try to help them with their struggles. So thank you.

[@Teagan_DW566]

I match with dyslexia, adhd, asd, and dysphasia but I’m still a teenager which means I have to bring up any health issues with my parents and anytime I bring up any of these things they brush them off and tell me my behavior is normal. But I know there not normal. My brother has adhd and my symptoms match his, my friend has dyslexia and I match symptoms with her. I’m literally matching symptoms with everyone around me but my parents still tell me my behavior and actions are normal. I don’t want to have to wait a couple more years to be able to go to a doctor by myself but I also don’t want to bring them up to my parents again to be brushed off because then I feel like I’m making it all up.

[@karmanwilmot1648]

I have been diagnosed with Dyslexia, ADHD, anxiety disorders, ASD, and possibly have Dyspraxia, and most likely have Dyscalculia and Dysgraphia based on your videos explaining the symptoms. I'm so glad you mentioned woman being missed with ASD. I tend to mask pretty well most of the time. Unfortunately for me, I've had certain important family members basically saying that my masking isn't masking. I try to tell them what masking is and they say that EVERYONE does that! I try to explain further, and they still brush me off. They keep saying that my masking is the same as a average person pretending to be happy around people. It's not the same. It's similar, but also very different. It's so frustrating when people just....I don't remember the word for it....but when people deny your disability and say it's not real, or it's not as bad as we think, and all that. They don't understand. I'm about to be 27 this month and they still don't seem to understand. Being told to stop being weird at the table because you flinched or covered your ears from a dish clang or chewing.... it's demoralizing. There's more to go into, but I'll stop here. Thanks for making this informative video 😁👍.

Great job with the video. Great job with obtaining your Masters too. I’ve worked with people with these ways of being for two decades and am myself a little or a lot of most the areas described.

Thanks, I might have ODD too. I am going to live with my challenges and enjoy life on my own terms. I work for myself and so that explains a great deal of why that is. I have found that when one has to try harder one does so to achieve the important things in life. At my age it is interesting to think of how much my life would have been different had my parents or even myself known. These things were not even spoken or known in my family though my brother and I both had such problems.

[@peachsncream5808]

1 Yes to ADD + working memory problems . 2 yes to dislexia+ my handwriting continuously switches between printed and running writing - randomly -sometimes from 🤨 misspelled word to misspelled word - other times it can be a few words between switching. I hate writing- I feel like a physical weight is pressing down on me- I begin to sweat 😓- . Often a simple written task a task I can sometimes do ….just escapes me ,like writing out an invoice . When I pick up a knife and fork - my brain has to think about which way I normally hold them - I just don’t understand why why my brain is like this . It’s so frustrating. I find it difficult to be around people who are simply talking without saying anything , I get unreasonably irritated bye the - look at me look at me loud talkers . I’ve been a grumpy old man since childhood. So I’ve been told. I get crazy hot and start to sweat 😓 as soon as I do anything physical. I have worked in places where stacks of timber are frozen together and co-worker’s are rugged up with layers of clothing - I was wearing jeans and a single long sleeved shirt and sweat buckets. So frustrating. I hate being me and I don’t like feeling this way about myself . I have come across some interviews with a guy named (Peter crone ) also known as the (mind architect ) I hope my personal crybaby complaints about myself resonate with someone else so they don’t feel like they are alone . Unfortunately I am as intolerant of my own faults as I can be off other’s . I love this channel and find your work insightful and progressive. Thank you . 👣🦘🇦🇺🍻

[@ArijeAikedeHaas]

At a young age, I was diagnosed with dyslexia. More recently I've become pretty sure I have dyscalculia as well, even though it hasn't been officially diagnosed. I discuss this common combination in part one of this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/imK1kImYi51nn9U What about you? What is your dyslexia combo?

[@jonnybrandin1362]

After reviewing your videos on the combo types of dyslexic I found myself asking the question is it possible to be both types simultaneously ? I experience all of these on some level . Inattentive ADHD my opinion seems to be the one that happens the least for me . Or might be selective or just being triggered at random intervals because I believe that I’m the type that likes or enjoy hyper focusing on things. Sometimes even to my own detriment. I’ve also noted that I experience synesthesia when I read, a good amount of the time. But it mostly occurs when I’m reading paper but not some thing on a phone or a computer screen. I find all of this very fascinating but I hope my comment has not crossed over to the realm of “ over sharing “ and non-pertinent data.

[@elliefrangoulis2228]

I was diagnosed with dyslexia at about age 6-7 and then in college I was diagnosed as also having ADHD. That made a lot more sense with all my difficulties including completing tasks staying focused etc. Later in college in the US I had all my tests done again by an expert who said I don’t have dyslexia. She said I have non verbal learning disability and ADHD and PTSD. My question is have you heard of non verbal learning disability and if it’s not a type of dyslexia what is it considered? This also made more sense than dyslexia because I was always very good at writing and reading and struggled in math. All my childhood I was told I have dyslexia and now I’m told something different. I want to understand if it’s not considered a type of dyslexia what does it fall under?

[@mattd03411]

They told me I had ODD as a child, and as an adult, I see that no, those people were assholes and didn't let explain or even care to hear me. So why would I listen to them? Respect for respect. Anyone who blind follows orders is the one with an issue cause that's stupidity.

[@sikeIgaita]

A friend once said I had ADHD because when we play competitive video games I usualy never answer any questions but other people can, this got me thinking and I figure that is not because I have ADHD but its because I think to much about any subject and my brain wants to focus on wining, but its facinating because I can split my atention in more passive activities.

[@nigelpentland]

Really like your videos, thank you. Being a fellow dyslexic it is with a heavy heart that I feel I ought to point out a mistake in this video. You say about something being important but the text actually reads impotent! Sorry, I know that sinking feeling only too well.

[@ArijeAikedeHaas]

Hey Nigel you got a good eye for spelling mistakes :) I definitely did not see that one. It is not my first and it won't be my last spelling mistake I make in one of my videos. I like to look at it as proof to my audience that I actually am dyslexic 😃 It still stings a little though 🤷‍♂️

[@nigelpentland]

@@ArijeAikedeHaas thanks. I wouldn’t say I had a good eye. Some things just jump out and most of my own spelling mistakes I’m completely blind to. I ‘read’ what I think I’ve written not what is actually there. Folks keep recommending using reader software where it says it out loud back to you which although it helps makes me very self conscious. I like Grammarly which really helps me. I’m retired now and use the free version but if I was working I’d stump up for the paid version. The cost is just a little steep for the amount I use it now I’m retired.

As a dyspraxic with dyslexia, I would say my dyspraxia more severe, when I younger I can't speak or read, even though I could understand what people were saying. My mouth muscles were weak and didn't work very well for some reason. When I was speaking some what normally can not read at all. I failed to read every day. I am very bad at visual and language, even though dyslexic are at visual learners. My hands slower than most people. I am addicted to patterns and charts, even if I not understand them. I hope my story has a understanding idea.

[@melaniep.]

These videos are truly helpful. I'm positive I'm dyslexic, not diagnosed so i can't say I am i think. As for ASD I've been suspecting Asperger's (high functioning autism) but I'm not sure if i should get anything diagnosed. I'd like to because I think it might make things easier to understand for me and loved ones but also I'm not sure if i should get diagnosed because I'm already an adult and a parent. I tend to hold in a lot of things and bring myself down from intense emotions. It's not easy at all but i learned from a video that distraction helps.

[@geneLreynolds]

It's nice coming across a serious like this it helps out a lot thank you very much for making them

[@Reicha]

It's almost distressing to me how little I see myself in ASD. I was diagnosed with Aspergers before ASD was formalized. The focus was ... different. Which does line up with my own protests about it becoming a spectrum and aspergers getting phased out as a diagnosis. Similar symptoms doesn't necessarily make it part of the same spectrum. They even asked about numbers and left and right etcs, when I was going through evaluation. Whether I got these things wrong as a child and still do. Regardless, it's interesting. I didn't know dyscalculia was a thing until very recently and only since finding this channel that it's related to dyslexia. My dad very clearly has dyslexia and my grandmother was an obvious case, as well. She moved from her home country at age 15, and at 80 she still had a severe accent, spoke neither language well and struggled to write. She had no other diagnosis. Dad would have gotten full points on ADHD if he was a child today - or cared to get a diagnosis now.

[@cookiekhad8106]

I was diagnosed with autism spectrum condition at 13 years old (17 now) but I’m in 1st year college now 🇬🇧 and I’m having trouble revising and doing exams. My support teacher noticed the level of books I read and they’re for young children, books that I had to request the college to but because they weren’t available in the college library. This is because 16-18 yr olds usually read higher-level vocabulary and matured books. She saw the books and I told her that it takes ages (about 5-10 mins) to read even 1 page of a book of that level. She already knew that I had trouble with exams and I was already getting extra time because of my autism. However, she thinks there may be something wrong with my reading and writing skills and that it could be dyslexia. They’re getting someone to run some tests to see if I’m dyslexic. If it comes back negative, then dyslexia is ruled out and they’ll run different tests to see if it’s that I can’t understand or process the words in some way. The first set of tests is the coming Wednesday and I’m really nervous. Also, you may think that this was typed with no spelling errors but I used autocorrect and I still made mistakes that I had to correct. I don’t know if I have it though. I’m just really nervous and never thought about having autism until I was diagnosed and now it could be dyslexia as well. All this time, I thought I was dumb and stupid and illiterate. 😔

[@vcrossCelticfc]

My close friend is an Autist, people within the spectrum find focusing on the benefits helps immensely. Incidentally, he's an Oxford Alumni in Math and Computational Science and he's literally the smartest and most empathetic person I know once you take the time to understand how he sees things and communicates etc. Use the term Autist, it's more positive and helps with your mindset. ✌

Honestly I had always struggled so so much when I was in school. I was always the kid that needed to take their work home with them to even get anywhere done on it, and do my homework from the point I get home till I go to sleep. Even doing this with as minimum distractions as I could. I had a hard time keeping my grades up because I would fall behind so much. There had been many times that I would think I'd have dyslexia because Id get numbers mixed up, times mixed up, and other simple easy things as well. But Everytime I would try and bring u It up to my parents they would just say that I'm being a hypochondriac. Which in fact would just irritated me and make me mad. Now I'm married and living with my husband and I hate this but the littlest thing if me having to repeat myself more than once or twice when I say something would always make me so mad and irritated and I don't even try to be that way.

Ive been told many of times not to use my diagnoses as a crutch but I'm not, when I say I don't understand someone or something I truly mean that. Even reading texts or emails I misinterpret them quite often. How do I go about talking to my psychiatrist about this?

i wonder how much you're able to "mask" or work around the symptoms because i find that basically these things like dyspraxia would apply very well to me years ago but i've learned better motor coordination (through things that use it) or mental tricks (to help me tell my left from my right or to tell the time/count backwards) that help since then would you still be considered those things, given the criteria?

As well as what my doctor calls ADHD induced anxiety and depression disorder. I speculate that I might have ASD Or what I like to call “ F- ASD” Because it seems to manifest like it does in females even though I look like A male. I also self identify as a xenogendered individual.

Things I don't wanna be doing when I'm curious about learning about a condition or disorder I might have or might relate to. Victimizing myself,asking for special treatment,self diagnosing,blaming everything I do or has happened to me on the disorder which isn't true I think, consciously or unconsciously performing symptoms of that disorder without it being natural to me.

[@hamzagallo2000]

Not sure if I have dyspraxia because my hand to eye coordination is really good but the other things like handwriting and bumping into thing I have

[@RhonyHart]

I have autism but failed to understand how my autism affects why I don’t read ever since I was very young I remember reading stuff and people mentioning part of the book that I didn’t remember I remember dreading reading for classes now reflecting I think it’s because it was too difficult I’m always saying numbers wrong always messing up my words when I speak so it makes me very curious about whether or not there could be more. I remember asking my assistant principal if I could get tested for dyslexia in school and he said no because they typically test for in childhood so I wouldn’t have it but all I remember is that school was hard and I didn’t do my homework I just figured out how to make good grades I never learned anything

[@aubryilkanic2055]

I have extreme inattentive ADHD I am coming up to my one year of officially being diagnosed. I was in reading classes and spelling classes in elementary school but never got diagnosed with dyslexia. And I am not realizing maybe they thought I might be dyslexic

[@Koreangirl06-b8q]

I have never been diagnosed, but I think I have dyspraxia. I can never catch or throw a ball, I can't read maps, I have trouble tying laces and ribbons. And no matter how I practice with a ball for gym I get a low score. So does that mean I really have dyspraxia?

[@Annalorraine2x]

Thankyou so much

[@ArijeAikedeHaas]

Most welcome 😊

[@Annalorraine2x]

@@ArijeAikedeHaas what should I do now nobody really cares about this in my life they just think I'm lazy and stupid. I'm so beat down.

Interesting Video - I have Autism / ASD and could possibly have dyslexia.

[@jlb8696]

How I'm not capable to remember memories how writing!? I tried all my life never capable to. Impossible I my ADHD dyslexia dysgraphia only 20% the last 25 years I get computer on my face I know speaking with dictation on my PC with microphone is what I do capable to riding thank you for your understanding

[@Sarahann1993]

It is possible to have 3 or 4 of them along with dyscalculia as well? I'm pretty sure my youngest might. I know my daughter has ADHD/dyslexia/dyscalculia. My oldest son ADHD.

[@ArijeAikedeHaas]

It’s very possible

[@melissaberman8244]

Thank you 🙏

[@NIRVANAmat]

ADHD has some cross overs with autism also. So individuals diagnosed with dyslexia and adhd can often exhibit sensitivity to noises, lights, textures.. etc! However, this doesn’t make them autistic it’s literally just a subset of ADHD symptoms

[@syltmackaalexandus4998]

I only been dagnios with dyslexica I nerver know that I might also have dyspraxia it fit in why my balance is bad when doing any kind of movement and handwriting

[@sevenalexand]

When I was five, I was diagnosed with severe dyslexia and ADHD. What that meant was that I had dyslexia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, and ODD. I have always had extreme sensitivity to loud noises. My routine changing and textures of clothing I displayed textbook signs of autistic Behavior and no one ever suspected me of having ASD because I was a girl. I would literally sit in the psychologist's office and organize toy cars by their nationality, and no one thought hey, this kid might be autistic.

[@Shadowthevampire]

I have both adhd and autism I have "AuDhd" how big are my chabches of having dyslexia?

[@sophiec544]

I have dyslexia dyspraxia dyscalciua, I probably have one of the other things. I hate it I have struggled slot with things in my life. I suffer with anxiety. I have resat maths 3 times and not passed it. I did a job in an office and couldn't do invoicing felt like I was an idiot. Just feels like everything is a challenge. I get frustrated and upset and highly sensitive person. I am going to attempt maths again for the forth time. I wish to study an MA in a creative subject.

[@pausqualinaveres-shands8625]

ASD can also look and act like PTSD /trauma - I had a traumatic experience and have many ASD traits but working memory is difficult.

[@Jefff72]

I suspect that I am mildly autistic and perhaps have some dyslexia. I have a laundry list of examples of autism and I took his dyslexia text. On that, I scored 5/9 with 1 unknown (family history). I can read but I have to concentrate to see the words in order. Like riding a bike, once I get rolling, then I'm fine.

[@RoboDev-mn1gg]

Can you make video about more diffrences between ADD and dyslexia? because looks so similar :(

[@fomalhauto]

Around half of Dyslexics have Dyspraxia. How come there is no genetic research about the co-morbidity between Dyslexia and Dyspraxia? Looking at coordination-related genes in connection to Dyslexia would make a lot of sense. I am a neurodivergent with Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, ADHD. I had early intervention therapy, and so my symptoms are mild. When I was a little child, they were so severe that I misplaced with intellectually handicapped children in 1st grade after I was in a regular classroom in kindergarten. That was in the 1970s.

[@ArijeAikedeHaas]

I also wonder why there isn’t more Research on the topic. Maybe it was also me and I didn’t find it 🤷‍♂️ i’m not sure but often these lesser known conditions are also not been research very much…

[@jaelamaduin7471]

​@@ArijeAikedeHaas Id love to hear more about scopes of reasearch. I thought there was a big disparity between academic terms regarding (learning disorders), and medical terms like neurodevelopment disorders. Though it seems some efforts are being made to bridge the gap, i think there might be current struggles regarding terms, academic criteria for services, medical diagnosis criteria, and DSM5 criteria for mental health. Ive struggled to navigate life and work between the mismatched scopes of medical, mental health, and educational systems most of my life

[@hmwtinker]

I just discovered that my son is dyslexic a few weeks ago. I'm in the process of working with his school and getting him official diagnosed. When he meets with a psychologist, how do I make sure they fully evaluate him for other things? I'm ADD and have see a lot of that in my son as well but I also think he has dygraphia.

[@ArijeAikedeHaas]

First of all, I believe that it's already great that you are aware of these different possibilities. Together with part one of this video, you have a good overview of the most common combinations together with dyslexia. The genetic component of ADHD/ADD is very strong, so it would make sense that your son also has some form of ADHD. I would suggest starting with simple screenings that you can find online. And I would also talk to the psychologist and make sure that they are not only looking for dyslexia. I would also say that it is important that you communicate that you have ADD yourself. If there's anything known on the father's side, then that would be important as well. Good luck, and after the diagnosis, make sure your son gets the accommodations he needs. And if you have any other questions, I'll do my best to answer them in the best way possible.

[@izzyplant8428]

Thank you.

[@ComicAcolyte]

I have Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia and I think I might have inattentive ADHD Sometimes when I'm watching a comedy show I have to rewind cause I keep missing the joke. I am 28 years old I did really good at school and college because I got the support but my self esteem isn't great. I got identified as Dyslexic when I was 8 years old and I think dyscalculia but I got an autism identification but I'm not autistic but the doctor said im definitely dyspraxic as well. I think I have ODD as well because I always struggle with authority and my anger is pretty bad but I try to push it down which is unhealthy but I don't know how to process it.

[@djohnson3910]

I have dyslexia I am 44 years old I did not know I had dyslexia when I was a kid growing up now I found out about how you graduated cuz I've been trying to graduate for different things and I cannot pass the written tests because I can't read them so I always left

[@onefordespair]

This blew my mind. I'm all except autistic, or at least I think. DEFINITELY dyspraxic and dyscalculic.

[@dablinne]

Not sure how to word this so just going to see what happens. I am diagnosed with Dyslexia and ADHD. The doctor wants to "treat" the ADHD with meds. I find that I have to read the same paragraph of text many times to start to understand it and get tired of doing that and just stop/give up after a while. Does anyone know if treating ADHD with meds may help tasks like this? It kinda feels to me it's both Dyslexia and ADHD causing this issue, or am I looking at this wrong? sorry if a dumb question.

[@LJgodiva]

Not a dumb question at all. It's something we struggled with for years for our daughter. She's now 18, out of school, not sure about college, but happy. We chose no meds, but we know others that took that route with good results. There no judgements either way. You can only do what works for you. You can try the meds and if you feel it's not right or working the way you want, stop taking them.

[@dablinne]

@@LJgodiva Thanks for your thoughts... I do want to try them as I think it might help? but looking into them kinda scares me a bit I see a lot of people saying this can help a lot and some people saying it made them like a zombie and no one wanted to be around them. But at same time you are right, could try and see and could just stop if its not what I was thinking. Plus my Dr would not give me it if he thinks it would hurt me right? haha Maybe I should check if Arije-Aike de Haas has a video about this.

[@ArijeAikedeHaas]

Hey Adam, I don't have a video on that specific question. But I would to recommend a different video from the channel: How to ADHD kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWnUoaBsi7B1fMU One of the ideas that she mentions is that you don't always have to take the medication. You can basically use them according to your needs your current situation. If you start using medication I would simply see that as you taking care of yourself. And that is a really good thing. The medication would help you to focus and pay attention. However your struggles when it comes to reading are only partially due to a lack of attention and focus. So even if you start using medication I think it is likely that you will still experience difficulties while reading. Probably a little less but the decoding process will still be hard because of your dyslexia.

[@dablinne]

@@ArijeAikedeHaas That video was helpful! Thanks for sharing it. I think you may be right that it may just help with focus but not the actual reading/comperhinding part :( , I guess I my ears just pick up a bit when someone says something may help even if just a little. Guess I have some more thinking to do. Thank you so much for making your videos.
