Yeah but you forget that teachers and lecturers don’t wait.

[@lucyallen2697]

Tell me about it! They put something on the whiteboard then they would change before I finished. Wasn’t enough time to write it down let alone organise the information in my head in a way that made sense or even read it myself!

[@lucyallen2697]

Carmine same. I would just turn up to classes in a levels then not do any work and the teacher would hate me. Right before my test she said “good luck!!” Really sarcastically.

[@opak3598]

I could right the stuf down ok but than I couldn't read what I had said and I didn't remember what the teacher said because I was focusing on writing it down

Yea my teacher was like look at this now look at this and I have dislexia and I was like about to cry or have a panic attack

[@mscowable]

In university I ended up asking if professors could send me slides of the lecture, the easiest way to explain it for me was "I dont pay attention to what your saying because I'm to focused on writing down what you're saying, and then I have no idea what's going on." I had no other way to explain it🤷‍♀️

[@EpicEmberOriginal]

I feel you there, I have dyspraxia and all my childhood it was like "You just have poor coordination, but you can fix that by practising more." Well, kind of? Yes you can improve the way you handle your disability but your not really "fixing" it, more applying a bandage. It took me until early this year age 21 to finally get a diagnosis now I'm at university. If you can afford it, I highly recommend trying to get diagnosed, regardless of what your parents think. If you do end up going to uni you can get a reduced rate, otherwise ask your GP.

[@davidpietarila699]

YES!! This is EXACTLY what it is like! Except the lecturers don’t pause for you to catch up!!!

[@yefenushki6113]

Agree, also how about the comprehension of the text. I was really waiting for the teacher to ask what was written from memory 🤣

I’ve never been able to explain to others what it’s like being dyslexic. Her example is spot on. Allowing someone to experience it first hand

I was barely able to take notes and could not substitute the characters at all in the exercise. I don't have dyslexia, but I could not keep up.

Maybe u do have dyslexia

Isn’t this to show people with out dyslexia, what it feels like to have dyslexia ?

[@marypatlundquist5684]

Shocking! I do not have dyslexia. I COULD NOT keep up with listening, thinking, writing while inserting the “correct letter exchange”! God bless you my sweet Grandson and all dyslexic’s. While trying this exercise for yourself, please remember YOU are the dyslectic person. The dyslectic YOU are the one experiencing this EVERY MOMENT of reading, writing, listening .... trying to comprehend a simple word takes many steps for each word. Then to take that “word” and translate it into a sentence of MULTIPLE “words”. As my daughter explains, these kids are exhausted because their brains are doing quadruple the mental work. Plus emotionally worrying if they got it right or wrong. Be Kind!

[@Eclipse-mf6hc]

I feel bad for other Dyslexics with severe Dyslexic. I have mild Dyslexia so I can read but I know some people who can’t even read...

[@spook6201]

My brother is dyslexic and I can confirm that his writing is quite similar. Our mother got him tutoring to get extra help/practice on writing and spelling. When writing a sentence there would always be a random capitalized letter in the mid

I am a Curia 76 graduate of the Original Lorge School, creates & set up by the Lorge Family for their children, and all children with Dyslexia! They opened on 1961! I art tended from 1971-1976!!! I will freely share with everyone here exactly what it’s like to live with all 4 types of Dyslexia! As I am a Practitioner, and Theorist! The Practitioner part is the living, dealing, and succeeded, the Theory part is learning the enter history, how it developed, how OG was created, and why. All aspects of what it’s like from other who are born with it! 55 years I helped not just myself, but every single person with dyslexia that I met!

Dude this is literally spot on I am dislexic and looking at the comments just straight by made my day

[@blazendancer094]

I have a note-taker for each class because I can't keep up and listen to everything at the same time. I'm constantly looking back up at whatever the teacher has for us to copy because I can't remember more than 2-3 words and write them down at the same time. Basically, I look up from my notes more frequently then the girl in the video had to in order to get the notes down. Also I was diagnosed with dyslexia in 3rd grade.

[@lifebloodmaple]

Thank you so much for this video. My son was recently diagnosed and this example really helped me to understand the frustration and exhaustion he must be enduring. We are at the very beginning of our journey to get him the support he needs. I will keep this video saved to share with others in his life that don't quite understand dyslexia.

[@Robert08010]

I was wondering if any other dyslexics experiences this: I routinely don't enjoy new music the first time I hear it. But the second time I do. I read this is related to dyslexia in a round about way. From the book "this is your brain on music" the author explains that the timing center of the brain allows one to get a sense of pleasure from anticipating the completion of patterns in rhythms and melodies even if one has never heard them before. In another part of the book, he says that dyslexia is (at least in part) a defect in this timing center of the brain. Although he never put the 2 thoughts together, it goes to follow that having dyslexia might preclude one from being able to enjoy unfamiliar music. So I wonder if other dyslectics like me might have the same difficulty. I have experienced this all my life but only became aware of it after reading the book.

[@Robert08010]

@werehog2907 I was a church sound tech for several years and was often called upon to offer an opinion on hearing a song for the first time. I would usually say something diplomatic but in all honesty I seldom liked them on first listen. I just wish I had known sooner.

I have dyslexia and I am thankful for this video because it shows people the struggles that I face on a daily basis

[@mariachivers2503]

I enjoyed the short film, however, I am dyslexic and have worked with dyslexics for 30 years, but I cannot quite see the connection between what you had the lady write and dyslexia. I am not being difficult, just don't understand it.

[@katypool1668]

It’s about the steps and how awkward and stressful the whole process is, I could definitely relate to the stress and almost hopelessness on her face while trying to keep up. I am dyslexic.

[@bellhousefilms297]

Thank you for your comment. The idea of the film is so that someone who doesn't have dyslexia can begin to understand how difficult and stressful it can be in the classroom when you have to write notes.

[@megcsa]

@@bellhousefilms297 you certainly achieved that! I am a writer by profession and I thought "No problem" with the substitutions when you began, but I fell behind almost immediately, got quite flustered, and ended up with just fragments of sentences by the end.

[@sydtopia1]

Think about it like when you are writing you go to write something and you write something else. A common one is J and G. So in order to prevent this happening you have to think and correct these before you write them. If you don't do that you end up writing the wrong thing. So essentially the opposite of what she is doing. Now imagine you are writing down something that someone else is saying, the whole process adds and extra layer on top making it a lot harder. I have had a lot of my problems corrected now so don't tend to make this mistakes anymore so it makes the whole process a lot easier, but I remember what it was like when I was younger.

[@Luke-tm6oo]

I love this! As a dyslexic most people just look at me like I am a moron. I have seen people on dating sites say "If you don't know proper grammar or understand English don't bother me." I found this statement funny and its every common amongst many profiles. I personally get so much distain that if I ever have kids I pray they don't have dyslexia.

so powerful!

[@CrowSkeleton]

Oh, this is good at explaining what's going on! I was trying to keep up with what was being said and wound up with mostly gibberish and lots of overwrites, just like my dyslexic colleague's notes. I always assumed it was that the letters were present but became instantly jumbled: running *every letter* through a memory test is much more brain-intensive, and makes dyslexics spelling anything at all very impressive.

[@cynthiajohnson9412]

I look back on my life and I think Jesus Christ, no wonder everything seemed so hard. It wasn't my imagination, it was really hard. I'm 61 and just took an on-line test last week that has a 97% accuracy for flagging dyslexia. I got a 7/9. No one ever diagnosed me, no one ever helped me. I was on my own figuring it out. I always knew my brain was off, but I thought it was just slightly off - slow reading, trouble alphabetizing, problems with Left/Right, difficulty remembering numbers, hopeless spelling, trouble with foreign languages, street signs weren't immediately comprehensible for me, difficulty reading out-loud, etc. But when you add it all up and a bunch of stuff that I didn't know was due to dyslexia like trouble with sequential instructions. Turns out it's more than slightly off. And holy shit is that a lot of work! Everything was a cost/benefit analysis where I'd weigh whether the outcome was worth the effort and I just figured I just wasn't willing to do that much work. I knew it was harder for me, but 5 times harder?

[@caffeinered]

I'm quite ambivalent to how well this example works in gaining empathy to the challenges of dyslexia for the individual. While this is challenging for the person trying to take down this dictation with the letter substitutions it was only for a breaf duration. Also with practice for this individual there ability to make these substitutions will improve. Also there was a handy guide directly in front of them to remind them of the letter substitutions. Also the narration was slow and the person taking the dictation was able to say when they were ready to hear the next bit. For a non-dyslexic watching this I would be concerned that this single example may just feed the problem associated with using badges as a suggestion of understanding. One minute and eleven seconds does not compare to the life long challenges for the dyslexic person. While the person taking the dictation found it difficult. I don't believe it accurately replicates the relentless feeling of being overwhelmed, the frustration, rapid exhaustion but you have no choice but to just try and keep on going with no end. Also in most situations where information is being dictated there is no provision for the individual taking notes to keep up. Also there can be the additional problem of people packing out what it is there saying and significantly increasing the work load of taking notes for the dyslexic individual. Even articulating the pen to write the actual shapes of the letters, there correct order, not susituting them and getting them the right way around. If I were to Say that pen gets progressively heavier would not be an accurate way to describe it. This can be enough in itself to be overwhelming. As you progressively tire even words you are normally able to spell start to be come difficult. Your bashing out sentences ov words then you mind gets locked on there is an error, you know it's there and even if you do see it you just cant process it. The simplest can be the worst leading you off on a heart breaking tangent. "ov" there is something wrong with that. "ov" it looks right but why does it seem wrong. "ov" is it wrong. "ov" something doesn't match. "ov" OK clear the mind and try and visualise it. "ov" NO! "ov" now the pen is resisting me writing it, there is something definitely wrong. "ov" where have I used this before. "ov" is this written somewhere where i can see it. "ov" ok try and calm down, use breathing. "ov" ignore it just keep writing. "ov" it's wrong. "ov" go away. "ov" it's simple, I know this. "ov" "ov" "ov" will you just go away. "ov" I just want to cry now. "ov"! "ov" f#@k!! "ov"... ... ... it's, it's, come on letters, please, I can almost touch them... ... ... I'm going to burst a blood vessel... ... ... ___ "of" ___ that them. Those are the lettersm the word. I know these. Why couldn't I construct them. Oh s#%t what did they just say. Will I even be able to read my notes. I'm tired. Is it really worth the effort it takes. No I want to learn. Is it this hard for everyone else. Everyone else seems to be coping. Am I some how lazy. Am I dumb. NO don't! They have wiped the notes off the board. Sorry could I borrow your notes, they were going a bit to fast for me, I will get them back to you after lunch. They have cursive handwriting, are these even letters. I'm hungry but I don't have enough time to eat. I'm a failure. I need to try harder. I feel weak. I can't ask them to slow down for me as that will hold everyone else up. I'm drowning. I'm defective. I need to work harder. I must work harder. I'm required to work harder to make up for my errors. I know staying up late makes me more tired and things harder, but I just need to try and push through. It wont, cant be like before. There will be a point eventually where I can stop and rest, just a for little bit. Will there? Bit of a tangent there but in a small part what education and higher education can be like. This also carries into the workplace. Badges don't convey the impact, only the illustration of understanding.

But I love reading, writing, speaking english... I actually loved english so much as a kid that sometimes I also struggle to find words in my native language more than my sister, because I speak English more. I kind of have trouble concentrating but only in math class. I'm a bit strange lol.

She grabbing the pen exactly like I do ,wow I have severe dyslexia

[@PatchworkUSA]

I don't think that holding a pen wrong is a sign of dyslexia. It means that her teachers never told her she is holding the pen wrong. I don't understand why a teacher wouldn't correct holding a pen in a way that makes it much harder to write.

[@EpicEmberOriginal]

I have dyspraxia and it's basically the same thing, just for different reasons

[@carmenbenitez4269]

I think that what she try to do with the letter switch is to illustrate how someone with dislexia might find difficult to decode some spelling patterns and therefore make it difficult to keep up with the tasks. She did not imply that people sufferring from dislexia actually switch the letters for the symbols she chose.

[@ajs11201]

While I like to think I'm sympathetic to the learning differences that dyslexics face, I still believe that foundational skills are important to set everyone up for the best success possible. For example, I watch this young woman holding her pen as if it's some kind of weapon or at least some awkward instrument that she can't control. With that grip, she'd be hard pressed to keep up with the dictation even without the letter substitutions. I think our education systems have failed a couple of generations by skipping over pen control and penmanship to name two skills that would have helped in this exercise.

[@mesomaxi]

I tried to do this with exchanging the letter and without and I struggled with both mostly the exchange version though

[@3PurpleSquirrels]

This in interesting but for me dyslexia is more like spoken and written language are two different language. The best examples i can come up with is it like taking note in a language you can speak fluently but not read or write. To all the dyslexia out there keep working at it find what work for you and run with what we are all different some thing will work some not. Never give up never surrender.

Now instead of pausing to let her catch up read it as if you were teaching a class at a normal pace. Then forget about the “well done” at the end and tell them they need to pay more attention 😂

I think I have dyslexia (I wrote dislexiya) but my parents don't believe me that much. I'm not that good academically. I mean our grading system is from 2 to 6 and y is the best and 2 is the worst. And I get 5 or 5.50 mostly. I can't spell that good but I'm always ok. Ppl can't suspect dyslexia. But what they don't know is that when I write I have to wait 5 seconds to remember what was the next letter. They don't know that I write capital letters in the middle of words. I lose my place when I'm reading. I love reading tho. I can't tell left from wright. When we know I'm 14 that is ridiculous.I write what I hear like somewhat - somwat. Read - Reed. Spaghetti- spageti. That - Dat. Soo many more! I have difficulty telling time on a round clock or then it's 18:00 I can't tell what it is. Is it 6pm? Is it 7pm? And I have many more things to say but that's all I can think of. Pls if you are diagnosed tell me if it's the same for you cuz I genuinely believe I have dyslexia. My mother seems to have it too and my brother too. Thanks if you read this far 😁

[@Robert08010]

I find that for me to "study" to really comprehend what I am reading, it takes me about twice as long as most other readers. I read at about the same pace as one might read aloud. Oddly I am not aware of any specific difficulty reading at all. I don't find any letters to be confusing or in need of translation. The way I read feels perfectly normal to me. I would also add that I never read for pleasure.

So I’m a way that’s what it’s like for me, however I can copy but I can’t write from scratch, there’s a block that stops a lot of thought from going to my hand, plus dyslexic is one of the most frustrating things ever I swear to god

[@crappyaccount]

Honestly I didn't have much trouble with substituting letters (besides completely forgetting one of the rules) but the speed was the issue for me. I wouldn't have been able to keep up even if I had to write it normally. Not dyslexic btw.

[@maddiperry95]

I was diagnosed with dyslexia in 3rd grade. Note taking was and still is one of the hardest things for me to do. Someone explained below that they told their professors that when they take notes, they don't hear anything because they are so busy focusing on writing down notes. I have the same problem. Now that I'm in college, I ask someone from each class I am taking if they would like to be a note taker for me. I still take my own notes, but almost half the time, those taking notes for me pick up on extra details that I missed or couldn't finish writing before moving on. I'm also allowed to have a voice recorder during lectures so I can go home a listen to it again. This simulation pretty much sums up how I feel when trying to take notes during class. The amount of times I have to stop and look up because I can't remember more than 2-3 words at a time or not being able to write complete sentences without a visual because I can't remember the order or what was just said. I'm still writing the first sentence and it's already time to move on. My thoughts get all jumbled up and it's difficult to put them down on paper.

That's exactly how it is you look at the screen then before you look away to right it down you have to look at it again because it dont register quick enough.......I got diagnosed early in my life i think i was 7-8 but since I have left school and had got certified as a gas engineer I have had to read/write/spell everyday and my friends say for a dyslexic person my hand writing is neat and good and I can read better then half of them and my spelling is still abit shabby 😀......but my skills side is brilliant problem solving/fixing is not bad but recently I have wondered if I could use my dyslexia and my creative side to follow and more interesting carrier

The dictation was difficult even for those ones who don't have dyslexia because it was too fast and without repeating. So for dyslexics it is twice unfair.

[@yefenushki6113]

I was waiting for the end of the dictation for the teacher to ask to what she girl wrote. I know that when I focus so hard to write or read, I have no idea what the content is.

[@Peth3t1c]

ok im not confirmed with having dyslexia but after a lot of tests like this i think i do. when i write i forget a b isnt a d and when reading outloud i tend to forget a line in the article. and when this girl startedsaying all of this i instantly just forgot everything

[@hamzagallo2000]

I have this plus dysgraphia it’s hell writing down stuff is hard and it just hurts

[@nfkakvjdjwjg440]

How can I do the exercise? What I need to do?

[@blazeflappybird]

I have dyslexia, and when I write instead of there being a random capital letter it's normally two words merging, e.g. with the would become withe

[@anshuthapa9908]

what the- even when i didn't replace the letters, i can't keep up with the speed. Do any of you non-dyslexic people facing this??

[@rynn9135]

I’ve been diagnosed with dyslexia and bro if i ever have to take notes i look at the bored like a zombie. Cus how am i supposed to say “oh yeah, im not listening to what your saying cus im to busy writting down what you just said and i have no idea whatsoever with whats going on and now I’ve forgotten about half of things you’ve said and yeah but now iv forgotten like everything cus im now distracted” like i shit you not, thats like my life with dyslexia and ADHD at the same time- and its like hell, and the teacher comes up to me and is like “i cant read what you said, could you explain?” And im like “b-but its there, right there you just cant read it(course i dont say it out loud)” “bro i thought you were here to helo me learn, not make it easier for yourself” I tried this and i was like… w-what, its harder to do it and its so much easier to do it naturally, i have severe dyslexia and when i give a handwritten assignment back and they are like “ehm, i cant understand what you wrote and im haveing a terrible time trying to read this so if you could maybe just read it out loud?” Like no, no i can not, i dont even know what i wrote, just think back and thats whatever this is. But the amount of odd capital letters in my hand writting is horrid. And at this point im not even surpised about no one cant read my handwriting

[@yuvininja1238]

u know what’s sad when i make notes and the cand read them yes im diagnosed

[@jehovahrastafai5135]

I think in every country in the world should have assisted technology for adult people with dyslexia help read and write mandatory. In school, All kind of libraries, courthouses, State House, government buildings, trade schools, organizations that help you find jobs, Banks, credit union colleges. I believe we got far in with helping dyslexia people but not enough for the adults that's dealing with it everyday

[@kai3522]

I have failed mismerably , I read my writing and even couln't spell sertain words like "imitre" what- what is that ;-; , I-I don't know what that is 😂. I'm looking at my paper and there is so many erases (did I spelt that right?) couse of miss spell , noticed my s's weren't even "$" just normal s's untill I got to the end that's where I started writing it like "$"

[@annabrantley5162]

I just tried writing what she said without changing the letters and kept having to go back to hear what she said. I wasn’t able to keep up

[@petermichelson5002]

I am Peter, a retired USN, Navy Chief, who is born with Dyslexia! 1. Are you Dyslexic? If your not, then.... trying to explain what it like to be able to navigate reading, grammar, punctuation usage, forming sentences to track a story, or intent of the paragraph you are linking sentences together to create paragraphs, so they track theme of the paragraph; you don’t have that experience of success! Just you trying to explain it is painful, to those lessening! This isn’t a difficult task! How you determine where any Dyslexic is at is simple exercises which reveal what needs to be improved over time! The only way to do this, is to connect with your students on a human level! They need your help, to under why they are interpreting what they see, as they see it! Writing is a balancing act!

[@SpaceFRce]

i was undiagnosed but i did notice simillarities between my writing and this.Random letters and strange capitals.People say my writing and reading is bad but really i just cant help it.heck today in ela i couldnt read because the words kept looking.odd

[@adorebecka]

i never took notes in school. it took way too much of my focus and while taking notes i missed out on everything the teachers said.

[@ericbursey6950]

I don't understand dyslexia any better !

[@jonathanbrotto7278]

Finally they get it

[@anden987]

Like they give a fuck

[@blqssomed173]

I had a paper and a pen in front of me and I did so bad first I didn't follow the "rules" and I didn't even write the half of them it was too fast for my to write and understand in the same time.

[@Eclipse-mf6hc]

This feels like my dyslexia but I’m easy mode

[@angelahart2064]

When I was in school I didn't know about dyslexia I would have problems with reading Alexa spelling And also Spelling sentences I did my best But some of the teachers that wasn't good enough Specially 1His last name was ArianaI It's hard enough on the kids make fun of you and then your teacher's that doing that too

[@f1n0111]

Is hard when you do have dyslexia to do that

[@westywarriors9199]

I got stuck on the second sentence she said and didn’t do any signs

[@angelad7164]

Hello there I had that same problem to And i found she was reading way to quickly 4 me to putt it down on paper

[@kii9357]

Reading, hard. Taking notes, hard. Flipping through the TV channels on the screen at five-time the speed the rest of my family can process the list, easy. In fact, I have to give the TV remote to a family member because I go through the list too fast. But by the time they get through the list I have lost interest due to my ADHD...

[@emzi5941]

I can never keep up and I always have to put a note at the bottom saying 'sorry, I can't spell'...

[@schprout9289]

I could do it but i couldnt keep up with how fast she was reading the damn script

[@richelypassos6029]

Is so hard to listening, writing and trying to remember the words

[@avajeankastl4472]

This but you forget how to spell the words and you go back to re read your notes and you realize you forgot letters

[@christophererb4382]

I don't think they will have more patience, I've never found a person that has patience with us. We need to start our own colony and let the regular people go keep doing the dumb stuff they like doing,
