Why is it important to know about dyslexia?

It is important to know what the word "dyslexia" means. It is a very general term that means someone has difficulty with reading and, usually, spelling and written language.

Depending on how strictly the term dyslexia is used, research shows that 5% to 10% of the population struggles with this issue. In just the US alone, that means 15 to 30 million people are dealing with dyslexia.

So knowing about dyslexia is extremely important if we're going to help those kids and adults. Also, we know now that problems with reading, spelling and writing are almost always due to an underlying weakness in language processing in the brain. More simply, their brain is wired differently in ways that make learning to read harder.

Now that we know that dyslexia is caused by weaknesses in language processing, specifically phonological processing (think phonics), we can now develop tools and programs to help people who struggling in this area.

For ADD, you can begin with an online. There is no biopsy or blood test. Neither is there an EKG or X-ray.

ADD is not a disease. It is simply a way of brain wiring, just as there are different amounts of melanin in peoples' skin, resulting in differing shades.

ADD tends to help people multi-task, at the sacrifice of attention-to-detail. Attention span for boring subjects is also shortened.

Medicines only address the depression that adults acquire from coping with the difference, and help extend the amount of time they can focus, AFTER the person uses self-discipline to begin the boring task or study.

What are the different severities of dyslexia?

That's a really good question! Dyslexia comes in all shapes and sizes, anything from getting your left and right confused, to a complete inability to read language in any form whatsoever. Dyslexia can be anywhere from a slight annoyance, to a complete debilitating disorder! I have dyslexia that is extraordinarily severe, and I am writing this post with voice recognition software because of it. My dyslexia is pretty much debilitating. Some people who say they have dyslexia merely get their left and right or red and green confused, and then there are people like me who can't even read signs telling them not to touch live wires. As you can see, dyslexia is a pretty wide spectrum.

What happens when you get dyslexia?

... then apparently you also have trouble forming complete and coherent sentences.

That aside, "dyslexia" refers to a difficulty in reading, due in part to mistaking visually similar letters such as b and d. Since you didn't actually finish your question, it's hard to say what else you wanted to know about it.

Whilst this is true dyslexia just means that you have different abilities and difficulties than "the norm". For example spelling and reading may be some of the things that you find most difficult. But when other people cannot see things from a different angle and cannot find solutions to problems, YOU CAN. A lot of dyslexic people are a lot more creative. AND within the sector of the world deemed "exceptionally successful" 40% are dyslexic opposed to the 10% of the overall population of dyslexics. This shows that dyslexic people can do anything they want should they want too. :)
