IMHO
pretty deep thinker
Ever try read monster hunter monster names? That’s how I imagine what dyslexia is like.
I have dyscalculia which is similar- and it’s usually in tandem with dyslexia. I don’t experience it as he described but I can say that if you have a learning disability and pair that with no one having any good expectations of you academically because they think your dumb—it can be a huge disadvantage and the struggle is invisible to everyone else.
I have a problem when reading the words start to glow it’s really distracting and I can’t find anything online about it
I am not diagnosed with dyslexia but I experience many of the things people who have been diagnosed with dyslexia say they do. However, I am a fairly good reader. I have to reread words or even full paragraphs a lot but I can still read quickly. I find that I look at the shape of a word rather than the individual components of a word, and often times even full sentences. This is why I have to reread things often, as I have auto completed the wrong sentence or word in my head and I catch up a few sentences later and I’m like “that one sentence doesn’t make sense now.” Spelling and hand writing, writing words over and over in cursive and print in elementary school developed a connection with each word, so words I am not familiar with can really hang me up. I think that simply writing new words and exposing yourself to simple poetry can help dyslexic people build a database of words and combinations of words in their head, which may help them overcome some of the difficulties they face.
