as a dyslexic the most obvious thing is my inability to spell the same word the same way twice in a row and difficulty in reading!
Other thing's that it means are i have difficulty with balance and rhythm!!! these I can cover quite easily by not dancing and being very careful in my movements, also my coordination is not as good as it should be but again it can be covered most of the time and most ppl never link being clumsy with dyslexia and if I am very careful it is not apparent!
I thought the clumsy coordination bit was dyspraxia? I'm only saying that as a member of my family has it.
There's a girl on my degree course who has dylexia and she's highly intelligent and in fact you wouldn't even think she has it because she copes so well. I'm really proud of her achievements.
dont know what your studying but I can tell you that what I say is correct!
my next post might explain!1
ouch sos bad quoting on my part!1
I'm studying Health. I didn't actually say I was studying Dyspraxia/Dyslexia though, I'd said there's a girl on my course with Dyslexia and she's doing really well.
Dyspraxia does come hand in hand with clumsiness.
Quote:
Children with dyspraxia may demonstrate some of these types of behaviour:-
Very high levels of motor activity, including feet swinging and tapping when seated, hand-clapping or twisting. Unable to stay still
High levels of excitability, with a loud/shrill voice
May be easily distressed and prone to temper tantrums
May constantly bump into objects and fall over
Hands flap when running
Difficulty with pedalling a tricycle or similar toy
Lack of any sense of danger (jumping from heights etc
I really don't know if it's linked to Dyslexia but I do know it's all of the above, as I said I know someone who has this.
I am not aware of having ever met anyone with dyslexia in person. I am sure I must have done but I suppose it would not be obvious in conversation and would only become apparent when writing.
In this forum, however, I have "met" countless people that have (or in some cases, claim to have) dyslexia, which seems quite strange. If it were me, I would have thought that the last place I would want to be would be in an environment where every piece of communication was done in the written form, yet proportionately we seem to encounter more dyslexics here than in real life.
As I say, that is probably because I haven’t known that the people I have met in real life have been dyslexic.
Will, thanks for your posts. They have been interesting and educational on this subject and I feel my decision to re-open the thread has been justified.
Thanks to everyone else for behaving like adults!!

Will, pm just sent with an explanation of what could have happened.
Like many things in life, we like to find what we are familiar with; and I think this also goes for reading and writing.
At one end of the scale we have dyslexics, dyspraxics, people with syndromes etc. most of us find it difficult to communicate with them.
At the other end of the scale we find people using language in an equally unitelligible manner. Lawyers. solicitors, engineers 'professionals' and so on. people who we may need at some point in our lives, but who use a language we can only vaguely understand.
So where does that leave the supposedly reasonably well eductaed types? And what is it that is special about our linguistic and literary skills?
Not much more than what one requires for comfort.
Just suppossing we were required to acknowledge the language of autism and dyslexia. eg we all came out of school with the equivalent to French in dyslexia.
Jeez that would be something else. But it just might help break down some misconceptions and barriers.

OI How are you calling unintelligible
:D:D:D:D (I was an engineer in a previous life). And you are right - I teach engineers in a big company. New starters have to deal with 'engineerish', Rolls-Royce-ish, Unigraphics-ish (or whatever system they are learning) as well as trying to forget University-ish etc. All of us speak many languages - we are a remarkable species don't you think?
Not forgetting Swingish, with its own special vocabulary and usage :D
