Some Dyslexics may reverse letters or words but this is not the case with all individuals. A child may see the letter “b” as a “d” and may see words such as “ton” as “not.” Most of the reversals disapear by first grade even if they have dyslexia. Some children with dyslexia continue to reverse letters and words as they grow older. People with dyslexia have difficulty seeing the similarities and differences in letters and words and may struggle to pronounce new or unfamiliar words.
Dyslexia may result in difficulty communicating, and those affected may learn coping skills that make it difficult for others to know they are struggling. For instance dyslexics have difficulty selecting the right vocabulary to express their thoughts or ideas so they use words that are not their first choice in describing a particular situation. They may select easier words than they would have liked to. They may even choose not to comment because they can’t think of the right words.
Dyslexics may have trouble understanding instructions that are verbal or written that cannot be controlled at their own speed of processing. This leads others to fill in what they believe are the blanks. They have particular problems with lengthy instructions and complex ideas.They may not get the latest jokes being told but you would not know that because they are laughing as if they understand just so they can feel like they fit in.
Learning names of people, who they are related to, and in what profession can make for uncomfortable moments in a social setting. You are introducing your next to neighbor whom you talk to almost every day to your friend from school and you can’t think of your neighbors first name. While introducing them the neighbor seeing you don’t know her well enough to introduce her jumps in and tells your school friend her name. They chat for awhile and the entire time your feeling stupid or mad because you knew if given just a few more seconds could have remembered. Now your neighbor doesn’t think you like her and may even be mad at you.
Most dyslexics will have a challenging time learning a foreign language. It is important that the dyslexic be exposed to a second language early in life to help them begin the long process of learning another language. With most colleges now requiring a second language to graduate it is important to give your children a head start. Spanish and sign language are usually easier for dyslexics to learn as opposed to French or Japanese.
By treating your symptoms instead of the person a dyslexic can be a great asset to society. Without proper treatment for their dyslexia many dyslexics have low self-esteem, depression or anxiety. They also choose what college to go to based on if the dyslexia has been treated or not.
Untreated dyslexia will affect more than just their reading. It will effect their social skills, mathmatics and science. They many never discover what their true gifts are. All because someone did not want to properly diagnose and treat dyslexia.
Dyslexia is nothing to be shamed about in reverse most dyslexics are super gifted and creative in other areas. Society just hasn’t shown the value of these traits by kindergarten.
You write very well.
