Dyslexia and Dyspraxia

People do not contract Dyslexia; people are born with it. However, you may be diagnosed with it at varying ages.

Scott Adams, the creator of the comic strip "Dilbert," was diagnosed with dyslexia in the 1980s. He has spoken about how this learning disability influenced his life and career, particularly in shaping his unique perspective on communication and business. Adams has used his experiences with dyslexia as inspiration for his work and has often discussed it in relation to his success.

Dyslexia and sociopathy are distinct conditions with different underlying causes and characteristics. Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that affects reading and language processing, while sociopathy, or Antisocial Personality Disorder, involves a pattern of disregard for the rights of others and often includes manipulative or harmful behaviors. While both conditions can impact social functioning, they are not inherently linked, and having one does not imply a predisposition to the other. Further research is needed to explore any potential correlations, but current understanding suggests they operate independently.

Yes, Lee Evans, the British comedian and actor, has publicly spoken about his struggles with dyslexia. He has described how it affected his education and communication skills, but he has also emphasized how he has used his experiences to fuel his creativity and performance. Evans has shared his journey to raise awareness about dyslexia and inspire others facing similar challenges.

No, that's ambidextrous. dyslexia is a reading disorder.

The answer to that question would be unequivocably NO. Other than having other family members who are dyslexic, nobody really knows what causes dyslexia, it is a bit of a mystery. But we definitely know that it is not caused by brain damage.

Dyslexia runs in the family. It is in your genes, but exactly how and if it will show itself varies considerably from individual to individual. Sometimes dyslexia can be attributed to a wide range of environmental factors, like brain trauma, problems during pregnancy, brain injuries, infections and toxins. Extensive research has identified chromosome abnormalities linked to reading and spelling. However, although considerable progress has been made, the exact mechanism that causes genes to contribute to the multi-faceted dyslexic condition is still unknown.

Disletic is the same thing as dyslexia and dyslexia is an inherited condition that makes or extremely difficult to read write and spell in your native language.

About 15% of the world suffers from dyslexia.

In a nutshell, no! Global Developmental Delay (GDD) is the general term used to describe a condition that occurs during the developmental period of a child between birth and 18 years. It is usually defined by the child being diagnosed with having a lower intellectual functioning than what is perceived as 'normal'. It is usually accompanied by having significant limitations in communication. It is said to affect about 1-3% of the population. The most common causes of GDD are chromosomal and/or genetic abnormalities such as Down's Syndrome and Fragile X Syndrome or abnormalities with the structure or development of the brain or spinal cord such as Cerebral Palsy or Spina Bifida. Other causes can include prematurity - being born too early - or infections, such as Congenital Rubella or Meningitis. There are a number of diagnostic tests that can be done to identify the underlying cause of GDD. Sometimes these causes can be treated to cure the developmental delay, or at least to prevent it worsening. However, often the cause is never able to be fully determined. SIGNS OF GLOBAL DEVELOPMENTAL DELAY CAN INCLUDE: The child is unable to sit on the floor without support by 8 months; The child is unable to crawl by 12 months; The child has poor social skills/ judgment; The child is unable to roll over by 6 months; The child has communication problems The child has fine/ gross motor difficulties The child shows aggressive behavior as a coping skill In some children GDD is suspected soon after birth because of feeding difficulties or muscle-tone. In others it is suspected later when learning or behavior difficulties occur at school.

Difficulty learning in school; not seeing words and numbers as they are.

it is awesomly rare but it is fun to have cause i said so.;.;...

dyslexics know the alphabet. they can recognize letters, so yes, they can. the problem is in switching letters around, not recognizing them.

no

Yes he does. The character Percy Jackson in his dad's book (Rick Riordan) is somewhat based off of his son Haley. The whole series (Percy Jackson) started with Haley's bedtime story when he was nine after hi father ran out of Greek myths to tell him.

Dyslexia which is considered a learning disability is very common with children. Approximately 5 to 10% of children have a learning disability and it is said that about 80% of children with learning disabilities have dyslexia. This disability is becoming more understood and is not at all related to a child's intelligence.

I have a high school diploma that i got from a easy home school program after giving in to getting help at public school. I was never required to take my SAT's or any college enterance exam. I simply finnished all the required courses and got a HS diploma. I love to learn and feel that I am actually very bright. I just need assitance in learning a diffrent way. I learn SO much more by conversation than reading. When I was in public school I was never offered any kind of assistance with my dyslexia, my parents was told Id outgrow it. It was explained to them not as a learning disability, but as a sort of lazyness. At first my parents pushed me hard to "get past" being dyslexic during my elementry years. The older I got, as they saw that I was definataly not being lazy; as i worked much harder than my other syblings who were making As and Bs all the time, and i was only comming out after trying my very hardest making D's sometimes C's if i was an "easy" class. As i entered High School, it became harder than ever for me to maintain. I would fail in one area or another. After trying public, and private school I never found the help I needed to make it through High School. My mother found a Home school program that was very easy to complete and I did it. I felt stupid and humiliated for having to end my education that way. I have researched dyslexia and found how there are supposidly so many things that school can do to assist children with dyslexia, and I am angry. Why didn't anybody in my schools know this. We did not have a "dyslexia" program. The only thing we had was to go to Special ED when taking test. All that did was give us more time to complete the test. I did not need more time for test taking, i needed help all the way around. Now I want to go back to college because I want a future just like anybody else. The only thing that holds me back is being afraid of failing because I will not be able to get the help I need. If I go to college how do I get help there. What is avalivlble. Researching is hard because there is so much things that are being said that I dont know exactly what im looking for. What I need is a direct, ABC, step 1 2 and 3 answer to my question. If ther is anybody out there who is in the know about this subject, please provide an answer. Thank you :) sorry to vent.

Each dyslexic person's difficulties are different and vary from slight to very severe disruption of the learning process. There is no total cure but the effects of dyslexia can be alleviated by skilled specialist teaching and committed learning. On the positive side there is a hypothesis that the neurological anomalies also give some dyslexic people visual, spatial and lateral thinking abilities that enable them to be successful in a wide range of careers.
