Do you have to be born with dyslexia to get it?

Answer 1

How this started: My friend has dyslexia, and I told her my problems. She understood me so well, and the more I told her, the more she understood. I would tell her how recent I would have my problems, and she had the exact same thing. We similarized so much. THat was when I started worrying.

What happens: Surprisingly, I can type 63 wpm. My friend can get from 7-23. When I read, (I can't really explain it) I see this flashiness on the paper...(I don't think its the words that do it) I can't tell if the words are getting darker or lighter, or if they're shrinking or getting larger. WHenn I look at screens, (TV, Computer, etc. ) and when they move, it is kind of like blurry... shaky. I don't know whether it's normal or not. I can almost litterally see scene by secne moving. I used to be a grammar freak, but one day, I all of the sudden forgot how to spell. That's when I got worried. I looked at a coupon to Micheal's, and it said " 60% off all framing!" I read it, adn it said "60% off all farming!" When I told my mom that I didn't know Micheals sold farming supplies, she asked if she could see the coupon. She said it said framing. I looked back at it and I was shocked! I was sure it said farming, and now that she pointed it out, it said framing!

I have know Idea if this is really a dyslixec thing or not, but when I was younger I used to see graffiti as garfitti. I always said it as if it was garfitti until one of my brothers corrected it. After a spring break or winter break, I often hadn't written for a wile. I would forget how to write an 'S'. I would think about it and draw it in mid air, and wasn't sure if it when the way of a backwards S or a normal S. I had to write it out. The way I figured it out was by looking at both ways. Whichever looked most normal, I figured was the one. (The real S) Once I asked my friend which way it was they laughed and told me it was the normal way--- S.

When I read in 3rd grade, I often got head aches and/or felt sick. Instead of that, now when I read, I read a whole paragragh and when I am done with it, I all of the sudden can't remember what I just read.

When I write, I never an abel to remember when I put a gh or a pH at the end. a couple weeks ago, I didn't know how to spelll laugh. I thought it was lauph.

I sometimes have trouble in math, and I am one of the last people who understand a concept. (Luckily there is one more person that needs help with me) In of of my math tests, the anwer was 0.08. I got the correct answer when I showed my work, but in the answer spot, I wrote 0.80. I switched it. I often do that in my writing. I am so used to erasing when that happens (and switch it back to normal) but I don't know why I would switch it in the first place. I notice it, it doesn't look like the correct speeling, but I still switch it.

When I read, I often read a line, and the go to the next... but i actually didn't. I read that line again. And sometimes, I go to the next line, and then I jump up to the line right above it that I just read. Weirdly, the sentence made sense like that. I always never knew how to spell veiw. I alsways thought it was view. It just looks right. Also weird. I always thought it was wierd.

Please tell me what you think by clicking the "Disscussion button" Also, I play te piano, and I am really bad at sight reading. Sometimes I mix treble cleff and bass cleff. I can't always read the word tat what.
