Do You Have Dyslexia? (TEST)

► Need help with your Mental Health? Visit our sponsor and get help here: betterhelp.com/authenticmenta...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dyslexia is very common, affecting 20 percent of the population.
Dyslexia represents 80- 90 percent of all those with learning disabilities.
Reading is complex.
It requires our brains to connect letters to sounds, put those sounds in the right order, and pull the words together into sentences and paragraphs we can read and understand.
People with dyslexia have trouble matching the letters they see on the page with the sounds those letters and combinations of letters make.
Children and adults with dyslexia struggle to read fluently, spell words correctly and learn a second language, among other challenges.
But these difficulties have no connection to their overall intelligence.
While people with dyslexia are slow readers, they often very fast and creative thinkers!
Do you think you have dyslexia?
1. Do you confuse visually similar words such as cat and cot?
2. Do you lose your place or miss out lines when reading?
3. Do you have trouble telling left from right?
4. Do you get confused when given several instructions at once?
5. Do you find it difficult to find the right word to say?
6. Do you find it difficult to read out loud?
Dyslexia can’t be “cured” - it is a lifelong condition
HOWEVER with the right support dyslexic individuals can become highly successful students and adults.

As a dyslexic let me reassure all those who (like me) answered yes to every question, and even questioned myself on 2 of them (1 and 6). Having dyslexia doesn't make your life terrible. It may be hard to learn memory intensive studies. But being dyslexic ironically makes you more likely to adapt to our society on your own terms. You are a far more out-of- the-box thinker then any avrige individual, to the point where your opinions are rival only to that of those who are classified as "geniuses". Understand that your unwillingness to understand basic schooling or societies normal pathological studies, isn't becuase you are slow, or disabled. It is becuase your mind is able to comprehend our society in a way that it is incapable of understanding itself. It takes you longer to learn becuase your mind wants to think there are better ways of understanding that which is presented to it. There should be no denying that there is, but you simply need to come to the understanding that you (like many great minds) are a minority. To survive in this world you must come to the understanding of the ideas that those who are trained to believe teach you. You yourself do not need to believe them, but you must accept the challenge of regurgitating them as the majority do. Becuase if you are not able to live in there world, they will prosecute you, they will torment you, they will give you no choice, and if you still refuse they will end your life. Threw imprisonment, threw execution, and in the nicest, most polite way they can act upon it. Becuase it is what THEY believe is the right thing. Becuase it is what THEY think is correct. You do not make the rules in this world. You live by there rules. They do not know your pain, will never know your pain, and no matter how much you try to explain it they are not programmed to understand. You are not stupid, you are not slow, you are not disabled. You were born to understand the truth. So don't let anything make you give up on living your life. You are a stranger in a strange land. Do as the locals do. Live another day. It will be hard, but it's bearable. There are many who cannot live the kind of life you live, they go insane. Do not be like them. Being the mental minority should allow you to see that we can live the same life. We can be happy among the crowd. If we have to be among the sheep, let us at least be the sheep who enjoy our lives. Not the ones who fear it. Study hard, it will pay off. Learn things your own way, make the knowledge yours. Becuase there is truth to it. Regardless of what will be parroted.

Having auditory dyslexia myself, I didn't understand most of what you said, but it's great hearing this!! Recently, I've been blaming my dyslexia for everything.

It was picked up when I was at primary school. Back then there wasn't the help that there is today. How it affects me is im bad at maths. My spelling is poor. I used to get told use a dictionary but I say I can't cause you need to know how to spell to use one. I here there's a dictionary for dyslexia. I sometimes write a p when it should be a d. I can't read books I just can't take in what I read. Learning is very hard I need to be shown a job loads of times before I get how to do it. Then I will master it like I've done it for years. I'm not good with paperwork but excellent at praticical things. When I write I can write a head of what I need to put. Talking about numbers I can say 6400 but I should have said 4600. From next week I'm moving from my floor job to the office so there will be typing and accounts to do. I'm half worried about it. That test you just did I could relate to all of it. Not so much about Q1. A struggled through school and college but I did it. Yes it was hard and I had a lot of hard work to study. But I got there.

[@Walkingtalkingflesh]

I've come to the conclusion that for years I've had dyslexia and ADHD. It's been a constant thought in my head along with other mental possibilities that could back up this theory Especially after entering yr10 (it got really bad). The only problem is that I've never been diagnosed for it, and if I ask someone they're just gonna think I'm over reacting or won't consider it. Apparently when I was younger I was in some form of a 'help class' and honestly don't know why I wasn't tested for anything from then to now?? *Edit a year, late 2022:* I think the dyslexia theory has decreased a little but the ADHD is still a big factor (+depression and other issues) and now I keep thinking about minor autism or low empathy. I still want to get tested but at this point, and probably the future, it’ll never end up happening. Feels like it’s been too late for a long time.

You will do fine . Look for help toncope with anxiety and keep going on . When you are in a workplace they value you for doing your thing and not be problematic or making too much drama for menial things , to have perfect spelling or passing a test is not what life is about . You will be fine .

[@kathyking1106]

It's never to late to get a diagnosis. At least if you get tested, you are more able to deal with life. You often come to terms with all the negativity and you learn to accept its not your fault etc. I'm 65 yrs old. 6 yrs ago I finally got tested for ADHD ! It was brilliant for me ! I failed at almost everything at school, I was in classes for kids that were slow learners. I wasn't supported by my family etc. I struggled such alot. Its done my confidence so much good. I now know I'm slow, but I'm certainly not stupid. Please find a way to get tested, there are ADHD support groups a round the Country and that's where I began my journey. I hope this will help you in some way, belive in yourself, be strong and do something about it !

[@Lightning_Fox]

Go talk to a professional! Self-diagnosing will only make you more confused, I can say that from experience. Talking to someone who has studied this kind of thing can really help, and as a couple others have said in the replies it's never too late to be diagnosed. Also, nobody who knows what they're talking about will assume you're overreacting. People who do that don't care whether those things are happening or not, they are the kind of people to disregard mental disorders even when they are diagnosed. (I know this from experience as well, not fun). You should just ignore them, unless they are a big problem.

[@hopathor]

It’s never too late to get diagnosed! I got diagnosed with adhd last year at 16 and holy fuck did it make a difference getting on medication but just understanding myself way better on its own. There’s so many things I struggle with that I am now able to help bc I got diagnosed and was given tools that can help! Best decision I’ve ever made. I felt the same way thinking people would think I was overreacting. People did treat it that way initially but I kept persisting and giving them valid reasons and eventually my mom who was one of the doubters got me diagnosed bc of the recommendation of a counselor and now she’s so happy seeing me thrive. It’s never too late. Best choice I ever made 🫶 I hope you do the same!

Like I know what the page says, I can read it just fine in my head, but once you make me read it out loud... nah. Sigh to the max level

(I’ve been formally diagnosed with Dyslexia and ADHD for context) I used to think I was good at reading in my head (I mean I was blowing through chapter books (350+ pages) in a day or so), but slow and mistake ridden when reading outloud. Until I realised while reading a chapter that had no dialogue and was incredibly “boring” in my opinion that I’m not quick at reading in my head. I skim read… yeah… let’s just say I missed a lot of plot threads… add in my short attention span (special thanks to my ADHD) and umm… fun times… *im typing this while constantly looking back and forth and my insane collection of books as I realise I’ve probably missed so much but am just genuinely not bothered to read about over 100+ books (warrior cats by Erin Hunter if curious)…*

I used to be a high-scoring students when I was younger. Life happened which worsen my mental health. I got Covid and other physical illnesses that also may or may not contribute to my worsening memory and comprehension issues. Now as an adult, I often get scolded for making mistakes that involves memory (such as forgetting or misheard instructions). People thinks I'm not 'focused enough', 'not serious enough to do my job', or 'I use my phone too often' (which I'm not, compared to my coworkers). To be honest it's frustrating when you've tried your best, but you still expect to forget about something to the point that people starts to doubt your ability to do even the simplest tasks

Don't kick yourself. My opinion, all they (non-dyslexics) could do at the best (and that isn't very good) is diagnosed the "problem." You would have been branded and classified as "needling" help and be placed into a resource or special day class and given very poor educational instruction (if you are lucky direct instruction by knowledgeable and caring teacher) and never have the opportunity to finish you requirements to graduate from high school and given the opportunity to attend a local college. No, my advice: you were better off not being "discovered."

I am exhausted by the condition and mostly by the comments. I too am seeking help. Thx for your comments less isolated feeling by them.

[@rosaliemydarling2187]

With the added years, it’s not any better maybe a little worse! I don’t read much anymore. Words are in a shit, either I can’t find it or if I get what I want to say. I had a very successful business life and now I am happy as I Can be. Thanks for sharing Karen

[@eldonjanzen9822]

Try audio books.

[@Daniel-ce6vi]

I'm already diagnosed with dyslexia and this is a good test to figure out if you have of dyslexia. I answer yes to everything. Being diagnosed and getting accommodations in college does really help. Best video about dyslexia!👍🏽

[@AuthenticMentalHealth]

Thank you my friend! How are you?

[@faithtabitha2724]

Hi Dan can I get to ask you few questions because I'm working on dyslexia

[@maria-annamone1127]

I was waiting for this test to tell me I'm not dyslexic so i could laugh....cause I was diagnosed with dyslexia when i was 8... but I ended up answering yes too all of that... so I guess this test is genuine 😂.... ughhhhh

[@AuthenticMentalHealth]

All of our tests are genuine as you have found out mate! How are you?

[@charlottetheunicorn2430]

I did the exact same thing! 😂

I was diagnosed with anxiety at a very young age and having ADD checked out and recently decided that I might have dyslexia so I came here and turned out I might it's still getting sorted out so it's a struggle

[@oceanf6815]

As someone professionally diagnosed with multiple learning disabilities it's wrong to claim that you have it off a KZbin video I went through months of testing and countless struggles throughout you should make videos help support the community instead of a video like this you should have been a video explaining what it is not making up a test that's not accurate now I don't mean to offend you but people claiming they have it and they don't, really undermines people that do

I have dyslexia... What should I do? (I have an auto corrector)

Hi, I miss out lines while reading and i also have trouble following several instructions given at once .Am I dyslexic?

[@lilaccilla]

I would like to ask a question , Who absolutely cannot read a newspaper because of the way it does not finish a story , but makes you then "go find "the completion of said story on an impossible to find it again page ! This drives me bonkers, I never read a newspaper EVER

[@EDGEmsm]

I just scored 4 out of 6, and I graduated college... it was hard, and I struggled. I finished though, and am so proud! I have always thought I might have dyslexia, and now I am almost certain I do.

[@AuthenticMentalHealth]

I am very proud of you my friend!

[@steph49391]

I laughed when I heard all of these because it’s so true, all of it. My family also has a hard time with numbers, we have read over numbers 4-5 times so we know we got it right. I showed this to my husband and he smiled at it because he knows where I struggle.

[@aniljootna9588]

Scored 4. I am dyslexic having had a test at university. Dyslexia is a gift, I see thing differently and sometimes it makes for funny quirks (funny memories from the 6 questions). I'm now a teacher at a prestigious international school. It should be your strength.

[@silanturan5465]

when i was last tested they didnt say yes or no to me having dyslexia because of my hand writhg, should i get tested again?

[@homosapien9076]

On my birthday, like two days ago, a teacher (i dont know who) pulled me out of class (not literally) and talked to me. He told me I was one of the best students ln the school. He started talking about how I'm getting less work done than the rest of the students. He asked me questions about it and i answered honestly. He said i might have a moderate level of dyslexia. im not fully diagnosed yet tho Edit: i got 6/6

[@lexi_tyson]

I actually have dyslexia and I'm glad someone mentioned that dyslexia doesn't just go away. I got help with it so I don't struggle as much, but it doesn't mean I know everything and won't struggle more. Thank you for bringing that up ❤️

[@AuthenticMentalHealth]

You have nothing to thank! Dyslexia is a life long struggle but with help it can be helped! How are you?

[@lexi_tyson]

Authentic Mental Health I'm doing great! Thanks for asking. I got help when I was in like middle school with a tutor. Eventually I improved and they let me go. I still stumble here and there but it's definitely a lot better. I do get picked on by others but it's not often since many don't know I have it.

[@comfortdavid3213]

How did you get help?

[@lexi_tyson]

@comfortdavid3213 I had a teacher in elementary school who also had dyslexia. She knew of a tutor place that helps people with dyslexia and she got me in there. Nothing with my school really did anything, she did it on her own

[@chriswright1825]

So I haven't always struggled with dyslexic symptoms, they only started to really emerge this year. I'm only 16, do you have to be born with dyslexia or can it come at any age?

[@johnpaulbalanquit7893]

I had of a speech therapy from a clinician that I would like to know of it from going a dyslexia. Thank you so much, Sir.

[@applesas942]

I've been aware that I struggle to read since I was a child. My mom told me that I am dyslexic and was aware ever since I was little. I answered yes to all of the questions. I never let it stop me, my mom helped me read even when I hated it. I was taken out of class to go to reading help classes and at one point was basically called hopeless. I learned to cope on my own and I had English teachers who seemed to hate me. I am now passing my AP and honors classes and am able to write essays quickly. Even though I forget words like "offer" or other simple words all the time xD

[@luciewickens928]

I have been bignosed with Dyslexia and it’s really bad that sometimes I get Destructive because I get Frustrated so I start talking and getting hyper

[@dg88771]

Well, long story short, I have a form of mild dyslexia. I answered 5 of 6 yes. As a child I was considered a gifted kid and was in the GATE program for a few years. I always struggled with spelling and would constantly swap letters, words, or phrases when reading, whether in my head or out loud. Always thought I had dyslexia but my mother just said I was a hypochondriac. It wasn't until my second year in college that I actually was diagnosed/helped with it by the counseler and given the accommodations. It helped me so much, even just having some extra time to take an exam helps me to relax and focus more on the actual exam and I'm able to take the time I needed to read and process the questions before answering. I would make silly mistakes like reading the questions without the "landmines" of NOT or ALWAYS. I didn't realize it until now that being confused when given a lot of information or instructions at once was a dyslexia thing. In my labs in college, my professor would say the instructions once and then expect us to just go and get things done. My classmates would immediately start working and I'd just stand there in a daze trying to process what was happening, though I suppose having others all rushing around you doesn't help with me trying to process what just happened.

[@eldonjanzen9822]

Typical professors.

[@sillyirene7329]

I actually came here because I didn’t know what dyslexia is but now i know and luckily I’m fine. For the people who have dyslexia don’t give up I know you can beat it one day

[@AtarStar]

I wanted to see how accurate this is. As a person with Dyslexia, I can understand what they are saying. It doesn't just affect the way I read or write its very mental. And I have a lot of difficulties understanding things. This causes me to have 3 hour-long conversations about basic things.

What did you score?

[@lionxdagger4562]

same i was diagnose it when i was in high school like 10 years ago i always had problems and low grades in my Primary education but back then you where just called stupid by teachers funny fact is that the diagnose i got was only for 2 years as if after 2 years it would suddenly dissipater but i was out of school system sooner so i never had a need to repeat the diagnose and my score here was 100% the highest score i ever got in entire my life time :D

I got 6/6 which i havent been diagnosed with dyslexia, but i think it is quite crazy how all 6 questions described my thinking perfectly. I constantly misread words everyday, and often times forget my left and right when driving which happens all the time. But very great video, it is helpful for understanding dyslexia.

[@George602]

Thank you for this Video. I was diagnosed with severe ADHD, and didnt realize that Dyslexia could be associated. I scored 6 of 6 on this test. I have also scored high on Emotional Detachment tests as well. I dont self-diagnose myself, however your videos describing symptoms really helps me have a better understanding, and have provided me with more pieces of this mental puzzle. (And yes....I had to proof read this comment 5 times for typo's before posting...LOL)

I do have dyslexia and right now when I’m typing this I’m using a mike on my iPad because I don’t really know how to spell it I also have a question being dyslexic having it does it make you overthink and worried too much because I tend to do that a lot?

[@mathalwaysii]

For all those that were professionally diagnosed as dyslexic, what are some of the things that were taught to you to help improve your reading, writing, spelling etc? Being diagnosed is one thing, but once diagnosed, what do you do to help is the key question. Anyone?

[@comfortdavid3213]

I need this answer too

[@eldonjanzen9822]

Try direct instruction programs (if you're lucky to get a teacher that has the programs and knows how to use them) For my students (I'm dyslexic) I use the DISTAR reading specifically 100 easy lessons- a faster method but the same as the fast cycle reading mastery. And for my ESL students 'Language for Learning ' and my advanced students 'Corrective Reading'.' I also am teaching my method of writing i call 'systematic writing system for writing essays." Bottom line you need strategies labels are useless.

What if you're not in school no more what if you don't have enough money to go to a doctor?

I was diagnosed with ADHD in 4th grade. I was always in the lowest reading group in 1st-3rd grade, I don’t even try to process left and rights anymore, and I HATED PE and other sports because I would always be hit by balls instead of catching them (yeah, I said balls. Congratulations your hilarious). School got so much easier after I started taking ADHD meds and I thought this was all just symptoms of that. I love reading but it takes a lot of focus (I can read for hours with out a break). I hate writing essays. So much so, that I avoid college application essays. Any way, now I feel like I’m not actually an idiot😂

[@faithhiott-ivins9089]

Thank you for being slow when your talking! It’s hard for me to process things when I hear them, so I’m videos I have to keep repeating what they say over and over to hear it. I got 5 out of the 6, I don’t usually mix up cat and cot so I didn’t add that. But all the other ones I do

i scored 5 out of 6. Since 1998,I suffered a threatening head injury, miraculously survived and since then have ben diagnosis with alexcia which is the root of dyslexia. (Dyslexia times 10) I absolutely LOVE anime but find it difficult to watch some of the greatest ones because they provide only subtitles. It also makes it difficult to talk to people online about anime because most of them practically jump down my throat for watching dubbed anime and claim that I "...am not a true anime fan if I do not watch anime with subtitles..." because of that and other things,I truely wish to become a better and faster reader.

[@howeweedoit]

i have a negligible degree of this condition. When i read, i find half my mind reading the paragraph and the other half wondering off thinking about something else. While only half the mind continues to read, i often finish reading the paragraph before i even know it, and i still don't catch what i have read... This makes reading very slow for me as i need to reread what i have just read with an increased focus to complete the paragraph. Can anyone relate?

First off, nothing is wrong. People just say that it is wrong bc we are being told what to believe and say. It's unfair, but hey that's life. Secondly, just because you think differently doesn't mean anything. Take Albert Einstein for example, he had dyslexia. And so did Thomas Edison. Don't think of it as a bad thing. As the video said, it is extremely common, 20% of the population. If you needed 'FIXING' than so would the rest of the world bc everyone is different and apparently society is trying to take that away from us. Don't listen to them and do what YOU want to do. Cheesy ik, but true.

[@zambush3180]

I've scored 6/6 ..I have been suffering with school all my life but just thought I was dumb and just worked extra extra hard to a breaking point.
