Dyslexia and Dyspraxia

Woodrow Willson showed indications of suffering from what might be called dyslexia today, He definitely found it harder to learn to read and write than would be expected from someone of his obvious general intelligence.

Absolutely! If you have a close family member who has dyslexia, you are much more likely to have it yourself. Both my father and my mother's father have dyslexia, therefore it is not such a surprise that I do. Also, if you have people who are left-handed in your family, that has been proven to increase your likelihood of having dyslexia.

I knew a mechanical engineer to told us he was dyslexic. He worked a bit slowly and checked his work.

Kevin Costner has spoken about his struggles with dyslexia, a learning disorder that affects reading and language processing. He faced challenges in school due to this condition, which made reading and writing difficult for him. Despite these obstacles, Costner persevered and went on to achieve significant success in his acting and directing career, demonstrating that determination can overcome learning difficulties.

Back then people didn't know about dyslexia so nothing would really happen, but the person wouldn't be seen as smart as one without if he actually went to school and tried to learn to read. Of course most people couldn't read anyway so it didn't matter. A dyslexic person, unless he worked as a typesetter, would probably not be noticed.

A bad speller would not be noticed even if he was a typesetter. Looking at the spellings in the print copies of Shakespeare's plays showed that there were not accepted spellings for words--you could spell the same word two or three different ways in the same sentence and people wouldn't care. Makes it hard to read though.

Yes, it is considered an abnormal condition of mental ill-health and is listed in the International Classification of Diseases as 302.1 and is universally considered a mental disease by doctors.

They aren't birth defects but yes he can. The King of Sweden for instance is dyslexic and so it the Crown princess. I have ADHD from my father's side of the family. The weak immune system might be because of things happening when he was born or the life he has lived so that depends on why he has it, If you with phenmonia means pneumonia it is not hereditary like that. it'a virus.

Walt Disney faced challenges with dyslexia throughout his life, which made reading and writing difficult for him. To overcome these challenges, he relied on his creativity and visual storytelling abilities, focusing on animation and art rather than traditional literacy skills. He also surrounded himself with talented collaborators who complemented his vision, allowing him to communicate ideas effectively without being hindered by his dyslexia. Ultimately, Disney's perseverance and innovative thinking led to the creation of a highly successful entertainment empire.

Objections to magnesium stearate as an excipient often stem from concerns about its potential to interfere with the bioavailability of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Some studies suggest that it can form a hydrophobic barrier around particles, hindering dissolution and absorption. Additionally, there are worries regarding its association with hypersensitivity reactions and its origin, as it is derived from animal sources, which may not align with vegan or vegetarian practices. These factors have prompted some researchers and formulators to seek alternative excipients.

ADHD often has one other "side effect" that comes with it dyslexia is very common one but you can have dyslexia and not ADHD they don't come as a joint package.

Yes, lots of people have dyslexia

No, there is no scientific proof.

Yes

no Beethoven was not

no..

There is nothing you can do so stop feeling guilty because that is what is pushing you into this corner. You were honest and many of us lose feelings for a person we have dated and had to move on and the best thing you can do for this person is to move on. They will survive, but not if you keep interfering. Break-ups when one is still in love with the other is like a grieving process of someone you love that has died. It will take time to heal, but they will survive.

Phonics alone does not help dyslexia.

Dyslexic readers have difficulty changed the written word into spoken word because they struggle with basic auditory processing skills. Before you learn phonics you need to master these basic skills like phonemic awareness and fluency. Phonics builds on top of these skills and you can not understand phonics or learn to read well without them.

There are a lot of programs that teach phonemic awareness and fluency before phonics. My favorite is Sound Reading Solutions which teaches these foundational building blocks and then moves on to cover more advanced skills like comprehension and phonics.

No. Fortitude is strength, stamina, so you can have mental, emotional, or physical fortitude. But "excess verbiage" is redundant. Verbiage is an excess of words, especially useless ones.

No.

There are no tests available that can be done physically to determine dyslexia at any age.

All tests that determine dyslexia require an evaluation of speech development along with mental development as indicated by oral or written questions.

There are some pre-literacy indications but they also are not physical.

no

The Open Court Reading Program is a reading program from McGraw-Hill that focuses on phonics and reading comprehension over creative discovery through books. It is supposedly good for weak readers but actually goes at an extremely fast pace. Instructors are not to deviate from the "scientifically researched" teaching methods that are involved.

According to the research reviewed by the National Institute of Health, girls are not more at risk of having dyslexia. In fact, the actual incidence of dyslexic boys and girls is very close to equal. It looks like slightly more men than women are identified as having dyslexia but it is not statistically significant.

Also, what we're seeing in the classroom is that boys are referred for services for reading problems more frequently than girls. The reason seems to be that boys have a greater tendency to act out in school which ends up in them getting more attention.
