Dyslexia and Dyspraxia

There are no "causes" of dyslexia......I have a mild case of dyslexia......dyslexia is passed down in the genes like no parents have dyslexia you chance is a 1% if one parent has it then 50% if both them about 95% chance and if no parents but like if grandma and granpa have then about a 5% hope this helped if not then sooo sorry

There is probably no one in the world better equipped to answer this question and yours truly. I have extremely severe dyslexia, and I'm writing this post with voice recognition software because of it. My dyslexia works something like this: no matter how hard I try I can not learn to read, I cannot learn to write or spell either. When I look at the letters they dance around, some of them turning as those they are on skateboards, some of them merely sharply moving towards the center of the page and then back out. I can not process how the English language works, the words won't stand still long enough for me to sound them out, and it is so frustrating! I literally can not read anything. As you can imagine, that makes life very difficult! So I guess my answer to your question would be as follows: the inability to process the English language, the sensation that the letters are moving around the page uncontrollably, and in extreme difficulty in spelling and handwriting.

if you are dyslexic, you most likely will have reading issues, but not all the time.

Dyslexia isn't the kind of thing you 'get,' it's something that you have. Like Asperger's, autism, ADD, or brown hair.

It can be diagnosed and treated at any age, but it often goes undiagnosed and untreated.

No. However, individuals with ADHD are more likely to have dyslexia.

I learned that ADHD is attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Being married to my wife who has dyslexia has taught me that the subject can be saying just the opposite of what they actually mean. Dyslexia is where the brain does not process information correctly and turns things around when they speak or think.

This question is a bit biased; as many of those with high-functioning autism see it not as a curse, but a gift.

But common brain disorders which would be considered more debilitating than autism include Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease and Huntington's chorea.

It is most likely dyslexia. Another good person to check with would be an eye doctor, because your daughter may need glasses. Also see a doctor who specializes in learning disorders, he can properly diagnose her.

I got this by goggling the subject on the National Autistic Society-Driving.

their site is added below related links.

The NAS Autism Help line occasionally gets asked about the rights of people with autism in relation to learning to drive. As autism is a spectrum disorder it is impossible to say that people with autism either should or should not be allowed to drive. Some people with autism may find this skill extremely difficult to grasp, while others will be highly competent drivers.

ORIGIN late 19th cent.: coined in German from dys- [difficult] + Greek lexis 'speech'(apparently by confusion of Greek legein 'to speak' and Latin legere 'to read' ).

It is not 'treated' . You learn to live with it and find 'different' ways of learning and reading. Coloured glasses can help to read better but you need the 'right' colour for your eyes. Persistence is also important when reading. There are advantages to being dyslexic in that you learn in different ways.

no. no medication can help dyslexics. the only way to treat dyslexia is to keep trying and practicing reading skills.

I'm dyslexic, and I read normally. The only difference is comprehension of words might be slowed and sometimes the word would look messed up (like switching two letters-- ex. solw instead of slow). When I read to myself, I do fine most of the time, but if I read out loud, I have trouble.

Well for starters people with dyslexia would be best. There are also the people who diagnose one with a learning disability, one that specializes in dyslexia would be best. So seek out a learning specialist it's their job to know about things such as dyslexia.

The boy struggled to read because he had dyslexia.

The British Dyslexia Association estimate that 4% of the population have dyslexia, which is over 2 million people in the UK. They also estimate that another 10% of the population show signs of dyslexia.

The US Dyslexia Research Institute estimate that in the US, 10-15% of the population have dyslexia.

However, providing accurate statistics is difficult because of the huge range in the severity of dyslexia in different people. Also, many cases of dyslexia go unrecognised.

Exact percentage is not known. But then at least one cause for developmental dyslexia is known to the contributor. Contributor was treated as third grade citizen in medical community, through out his life time. Because he is not a post graduate in medicine. He never expected that he will ever get a chance to write on such a distinguished site in his life time. So he deliberately and consciously neglected the grammar and spelling aspect of English language. Secondly you are connected to hundreds of students, through out the day by way of SMS, who have been using what is called as SMS language, in which the language is grossly distorted to make the spellings very brief. Now again so much busy in writing that there is no time to learn the English language and grammar.

Dyslexia is a learning disability that makes it hard to read or focus. Some famous people who are dealing with the disease are Orlando Bloom, Jay Leno, Cher, and Tommy Hilfiger.

I'm dyslexic. i found out by when i kept on mixing letters and numbers around and my word kept moving off screen. best way to find out if you are is go to a doctor and have him or her test you

Henry Ford was diagnosed with dyslexia when he was just a young child. There is no exact age on record pertaining to his diagnosis, but even though he had this learning disability, he is still known as a great visionary.
