I was diagnosed with dyslexia in third grade and had gone to a special school for it and then left the school. I'd learned to read and write, but it was still a real struggle for me, as it is to this day.
I used to love reading when I was little, and then it became difficult and I didn't understand why. I thought, what a bummer, my passion all drained out of me. So when I found out I had dyslexia, it was like, oh, that's what it was.
[Kid] never learned to read in kindergarten, first, and second, so in third grade he begins to be placed in the EMH or the learning-disabled rooms.
I'm dyslexic, I have attention-deficit disorder, and I've got something like a hereditary tremor.
Ozzy has dyslexia.
I grew up in a school system . . . where nobody understood the meaning of learning disorder. In the West Indies, I was constantly being physically abused because the whipping of students was permitted.
Dyslexia is not due to a lack of intelligence, it's a lack of access. It's like, if you're dyslexic, you have all the information you need, but find it harder to process.
The woman who knew that I had dyslexia - I never interviewed her.
My dyslexia means I can't read for long periods or the letters start moving around on the page, giving me headaches.
I'm dyslexic.
I was diagnosed with dyslexia when I was seven, and it was a bit of a struggle to begin with. It was a challenge as I began my school career - spelling and reading was something I couldn't really get my head around.
In retrospect, I think I had some kind of learning disorder. I could kind of charm my way through grade school, but in high school... I could never seem to grasp things.
The way my brain processes information is quite odd. I mean, I have Attention Deficit Disorder and another learning disability I can't even spell. I don't even have a high school diploma. I'm smart, but you can't prove it on paper.
I was well into middle age when one of my children, then in the second grade, was found to be dyslexic. I had never known the name for it, but I recognized immediately that the symptoms were also mine.
Both my sons are dyslexic, and so, too, in a much milder form, is one of my daughters.
Letter scrambling and trouble reading is just a small part of dyslexia. It is also an auditory processing problem.
I'm completely dyslexic, so academia was never really my path.
I was growing up in the 50's and 60's. Back then they didn't even know what dyslexia was.
I'm quite dyslexic in school.
I was dyslexic, so I was put in the silly class at school.
If you are dyslexic, your eyes work fine, your brain works fine, but there is a little short circuit in the wire that goes between the eye and the brain. Reading is not a fluid process.
