Symptoms&Solutions 01 WhatIsDyslexia

[@neilharrison9144]

Just found out at 49 everything I’m hearing and looking at is a carbon copy of my life . Huge weight lifted now I know

[@DC-uo5hy]

Dear Susan, As a dyslexic, I thank you in the extreme. I am now 70. A few teachers helped me greatly. 7th grade remedial reading for a year and 20,000 "sound it outs" helped greatly. Some of us though have fantastic directional abilities. Lots of other gifts also. I still cannot spell well at all. I never pass a single spelling test. I can, however tell great fiction stories, and see complex problem and solutions. Thanks again, I will spread this about.

[@stevegreenwood7837]

thank you! l will be sending this to my father who still does not realize he is Dyslexic he is 86, l know he is Dyslexic l am too also my two brothers to some extent, l'm sure this lovely lady has inspired many to consider this profession that she her self teaches so wonderfully .

[@AmyNoelonDyslexia]

Parts I want to show my kids (to motivate them to do tutoring). She learned to help adults first 1:02:30 - adults finally learning to read and spell by sounding out 1:02:50 - why didn't they teach me this way in school? 1:03:20 - teachers don't get structured literacy training 1:05:18 - working with children nearly the same as with adults 1:05:26 - differences- motivation 1:05:50 - children still enduring the pain of school 1:06:45- Susan Barton got trained in educational law 1:07:45 - most schools fought parents on legal accommodations for dyslexic and ADHD students 1:08:26 - most schools and parents don't have the latest research

[@blessall8856]

The swab test for dyslexia before age 1, is a GREAT idea from the scientific community that is presently working on the genetics. Even greater, is a swab test for all learning disabilities!!

[@sharonclemmer2243]

I am 52 and cried while watching this video. I was 11 months older than my gifted sister and struggled through school more than likely because of Dyslexia and ADHD. I was disciplined in many ways because of missing words on spelling tests, having problems in learning to tell time, memorizing multiplication tables, switching b's and d's, and still to this day left and right. I use my wedding ring. I work at a college as an executive assistant, and I struggle in my job, so I use aids. I am in college and do well verbally in the classes until testing. I will have an A+ until I take the written timed final exam which will bring my grade down a letter usually end up with B or A-. I also have a young adult still struggling with ADHD. Oh and I can't spell....And I pronounced Christmas "trismas for years"...

[@ebonycrawford1482]

I am dyslexic I am 16 year old and I can't tie my laces even after being show almost every methoer you ms Barton know what you are talking about and you are an export I send many people say things that are true for dyslexia but they say they are fake you are the only person I have seen that is debunking all of the other people and really standing up with people with dyslexia

[@RyanTreks]

Only a few teachers (after I was tested post 5th grade) knew I had dyslexia. I was a C student in all of my schooling (some Bs and an occasional A in a subject that I really liked). I graduated high school with a 3.1 GPA and an SAT that wouldn't allow me to get into the closest university. So I went to a local college and majored in IT...which quickly changed to an AA in Art (graphical design)...but my ADD didn't like sitting for long periods of time. Never-the-less I studied more IT at a tech college next door to the local college, while I worked part-time in IT at the local college. Then I went to a university (still not the one closest to my house) and got a BBA in Marketing, finishing as a C student. I never told anyone that I have dyslexia (mild) and ADD. Just a note to any teacher out there watching this...if you know someone has dyslexia, do not call on them to real aloud. When I was called to read (from the beginning until college...and even in church small groups on Sundays) I would be hit every time by an emotion....suddenly becoming hot and uncomfortable in my stomach; like when you were a child and did something wrong and immediately got in trouble and scolded for it. For me, that feeling has always been there from the moment I was called on until a little after I finished reading (not immediately after). The ONLY thing I was able to do to make myself feel better is to count ahead however many paragraphs until the teacher called on me to read. I would pre-read my paragraph so I'd be ready to read it when it was my turn. It helped a little so that I didn't seem like a slow reader (though I still wasn't as fast as others) but the overall emotional feeling was still there regardless. My favorite classes were ones where the teachers would let the students that want to read aloud, do so. I NEVER volunteer.

[@SkepticalTeacher]

I'm a teacher, I never make children read out loud in front of the class, ever. I incentivise them by giving them points if they do, and being kind and creating a positive atmosphere in class means that eventually they all volunteer, even if it takes months. I always bear in mind that most children with send issues are traumatised and anxious around formal learning environments due to past bad experiences.

[@amberyaqub6797]

Wow best video that i came across. Very informative. I'm glad i found it

[@mekbelfarida5587]

Fantastic

[@hklausen]

I have dyslexia. I learned to read and write english as an adult. My english reading and writing is almost better than my native danish.

[@mousse34]

Same here.. I don't know about Danish but French it's horrible for dyslexic..

[@gazingatthestars6610]

Congratulations!

[@antonnie5177]

I have the same. I also learned to read and write English as an 'adult'. (more like after high school) a soon as I left high school it finally clicked after watching series and talking with English people. Its school I hardly could get a positive mark... My native language (dutch) is still a challenge for me. English is much easier in some way. Not sure why.... (I don't imply that this comment is without spelling mistakes btw hahah)

[@katherinemorales1998]

I am suffering in learning English , lucky you guys .. (my original language is Spanish)

[@carahamelie]

amazing video! wow

[@violetsnow3174]

I wish everyone knows about Dyslexia.It is a life long struggle .It is like living in hide in a Box not to mention the self esteem if you have nobody to help .It is Hell on earth .

[@kalliogaidourodene]

some could burst in tears in this story.

[@OFFICERMCCOMACK]

kalliogaidourodene I did. 48 years old. This dyslexia and adhd is horrible. But i use it to my advantage in minor ways. Self esteem has always been in the ditch. Still is. I’m tired of feeling this way

[@1013AM]

Thank you for being Susan Barton.

[@raybanuelos8670]

dislexic need a special school that is not special ed

[@rpmcmurphey927]

My incubator and sperm donor knew there was an issue, and deliberately did nothing - Instead, I was treated like a dumb dog, neglected and scapegoated. It was 7th grade, when my math teacher told me I was reading numbers backward. Of course I had to figure out waaay later on that I'm an ADHD'r 75% of my life was so upside down, they knew it, and I was a source of entertainment shunned, humiliated, lonely, isolated and alone. It feels comforting now at 37, that I can recognize this in others, and treat them with patience, compassion & understanding, because I was and still am one who fights the good fight

[@princessadora]

i fit a lot of the symptoms actually but i was a good speller. i had a photographic memory when i was a kid so it's like i was reading it off the board.

[@1aliveandwell]

Son who was Very bright, had trouble with reading and someone suggested going to Dyslexia office in town. That person was helpful and suggested youngest child get tested by school for dyslexia and me also and older one and I for ADD. It seemed very foreign to me. School said no such thing as dyslexia. They finally tested and he was below grade english,writing, but 4 grades ahead in math. They had no help. Why arnt teachers taught to help?? Son couldnt recall phone # till we sang it, so we tried to find things that help.

[@craigoverholt7168]

Thank you for this information

[@thejigisup7124]

Great presentation. I'm not sure how old this is. My father is dyslexic, but (oddly enough) many of the symptoms I have are the extreme opposite of a lot of what's discussed here (great with words, writing and language, CANNOT read numbers, speak easily or do math). Extremely directionally challenged. I still use the L in my mind to differentiate between Left and Right. Righty tighty, lefty loosey! We are planning a family right now. I'm so glad I saw this!

[@DC-uo5hy]

Hi, when they said wired differently with Dyslexia, that is true among us. The gifts and distractions are vastly different, some difficult and some are easy to beat. It does take real work. Some difficulties perhaps get a bit better some not at all. Good luck on the quest.

[@ALNSolutions]

Should be watched by all parents.

[@aStrayforMyTime]

Im 35. I can read and understand if i read at spoken space but hooked on phonics did not work for me. All the tutoring and special classes and I still cant spell. I used spell check 3 times so already makes me look so stupid. As a kid when was tested I had well above average IQ, I was good in math and loved science. I end up dropping out and getting my g.e.d . Flying colors in math and science just hardley passed the writing part. My story is almost identical to Ben's but i dropped out. I had no support from home or school. Lucky for me my job is all geometry and little writing.

[@johnhealier5885]

Hi my name is John I have been dyslexic my whole entire life misunderstood and beaten for it and school some of the punishments were take it to the principal office and put into hack I am also empathic and I own my own business I'm now at the age of 57 and looking for a support group I live in Tri-City Washington can you help me

[@OFFICERMCCOMACK]

John Healier , I’ve experienced a very similar life. I’m still trying to start my own business. I’m having a time of it. I know what to do, I just have a hard time getting it going. Any advice?

[@richardpetzoldt6759]

Dear Susan, I have suffered with Dyslexia all of my like and I'm 60 years old. My biggest problem is, not being able to look at someone when I talked to them. When I lead my bible study and when sometimes I have the opportunity to present a sermon or when I witness to people about Jesus, I have to read everything, and have to read through my material about four times before I feel confident enough to present it. Because I have suffered with Dalexia all of my life, it threw me into PTSD. What would you suggest with this problem?

[@lotuspoints]

Is there any significant correlation between being dyslexic and left-handed?

[@fat.estinzo]

There are no studies supporting that. Satz, P., & Fletcher, J. M. (1987). Left-Handedness and Dyslexia: An Old Myth Revisited. Journal of Pediatric Psychology, 12(2), 291-298. doi.org/10.1093/jpepsy/12.2.291 ‌If your kid is left-handed, it's just that. stop treating it as a disadvantage but just let them be. :)

[@Peanutbutterree]

Thanks for those valuable informations

[@hiteshgoenka]

Any relation between Dyslexia and Migraines? I have migraines. So, I was wondering... Well, I wonder a lot :)

[@laurenkimmc]

I have both

[@tompattinson528]

Thankyou. It's to late for me but not for my 9yr old daughter

[@theriversexitsense]

does anyone know when this is from? she's a great speaker, but it looks like the early 1990s

[@josephgabrielrapthingy9416]

2016

[@ValeriaDjukic]

It was published in 2012! So it cannot be from 2016. Further, it does look like it was recorded in the 90s because of the clothing of people and some of the concepts the speaker presents.

[@ifibelieve8193]

1995. She said her journey to helping dyslexics started 17 years ago. 17 from 2012 is 1995

[@mosesirungu7595]

Hello , am moses my daughter i realise have it , pls how you can help she's now going class eights 2023 , pls i need your help

[@The1234mervat]

Bright solution

[@sandrabeairsto7117]

Dear Sue. Thank you so much. I'm 54 but went back to college 7 years ago. My two teachers seen it and had a psychologist who did testing test me. I now know what was wrong with me. I went from not completing high school to getting my high school diploma. I graduated with honors and a 86%. Then went to get my Medical and dental office administration diploma and graduated with a 96% average. But what I can't find is any info on the social and relationship difficulties that come with dyslexia. My family tells me I need to be on depression medicine because I act differently around them because I'm always on my guard not to do anything wrong to upset anyone but this is only my family. I have to keep myself stress free as possible and not to be alone for to long and we'll being around negative people well drives me nuts. Is there anything or somewhere I can get info to so my family I'm normal Sandra

Yes. Sandra. There is help.. For you.. ..there is a product they make called. CBD.. oil.. That might help.. It's expensive. ..most good vitamin and herb stores carry it. Also. EBay. Has it

[@sunflowerorgy7551]

4/4siblings have adhd, and 2/4 have dyslexia. Looks statistically accurate.

[@raybanuelos8670]

kids prefer to be bad than dumb, I wonder what is the percentage of dislexics in jail

[@ifibelieve8193]

Yeah you're right. You wouldn't believe the amount of dyslexics in juvenile centers all because they were never even screened for it!

[@michellebarnes5070]

Most inmates read between 3rd and 5th grade level. Reading level is the top correlation for inmates.

[@l1meyman]

Conservatively 20% realistcally closer to 40%-45%

[@AnnaëlleD]

Thank you Susan Barton, your video is very helpful. I think I have (or had) dyslexia. I must learn more about it. You presented a book. Does it exist in French version? Thank you. Love from France.

[@Dolly.956.]

LOL I remember someone tried to teach me that L with your left hand trick but then I would get confused with which direction to write an L in so I still messed up XD ...I just told Myself OUTLOUD "I write with my Right hand" while rasing my hand or making it a fist ....and then go from there if I need my left well opposite of right is left

[@hasanbasha7681]

God bless her

Sounds a lot like Teachers have Dyslexia..there ... Teaching kids with dyslexia.. and.. Egotistical.. people with dyslexia who have a problem with Arrogance. They think... They Know It All.. But they.. don't.. I just described half the people in this crazy world with mixed up liberals. .. I know. Ww3. Will fix it.. What ww1.. and ww2. Didn't kill. Ww3 will.... That's what dyslexic politicians are good at. Starting another War. To Kill off the dyslexic people they don't like. Then smoke more dope. To forget about there killing..

[@OFFICERMCCOMACK]

I need help with my employer. I’ve lost over 35 jobs due to this. I really appreciate this video. I really need help from somewhere with not loosing another job. Please advise

[@RyanTreks]

It depends on what your job is and how bad your dyslexia is. I personally NEVER told anyone that I have mild dyslexia and ADD (diagnosed around 11 years old)...until I was written up a few times for not staying on task at work. I finally decided to tell one of my managers that I have ADD, so I find it hard to stay on task. I was fortunate that the manager I spoke with has ADHD and takes medication for it, though I didn't know this at that time (I don't take medication). While I was there, I started to walk away then I turned back and told him, "Also, if my numbers are wrong sometimes it's because I have dyslexia". My managers were very open about it and nothing else was said. While at work, they do check on me to see if I'm staying on task but not watching over my shoulder or anything....and they haven't done it in quite a while. As for your situation, it will depend on how open your boss and co-workers are about it. After having watched this video, take some highlighted points and write them down. Then consider presenting those points (along with scientific documentation) to your boss....ie. the left side of the brain is the same as an average non-dyslexic person, while the right side of the brain is 10% larder (on average), thus you may think more creatively. And that 20% of the US population are found to have some degree of dyslexia...according to studies. And if you have ADD or ADHD, consider telling your boss that also. If you have this, it seems to me like CBD oil (under the tongue so that it bypasses the digestive system...which will typically break it down) helps me with my ADD, anxiety, and helps me focus. Also, throughout the day, I use a slim vape pen with organic CBD oil and the pen uses a glass canister, not plastic. I DEFINITELY know when I don't use both the oil drop under the tongue and vape. I get pretty high strung without it. But maybe you don't have ADD.

Only solution: Stop eating wheat!

[@cjochoa]

Wheat cannot change the brain differences inherent in dyslexia and many other learning disabilities. Good or bad, it's not gonna make a difference.

[@hklausen]

What about stopping eating all together? Then I'm sure the dyslexia will magically disappear ;-)

[@hklausen]

Your solution fall in the same category as an other person I saw. This person claimed to be able to cure ADHD in 18 days via a special diet :-)
