Yes.. im constantly overwhelmed and paralyzed by decision making 😢

I have to do lists about the to do lists about the to do lists LOL

I've heard about most of these symptoms discussed in dyslexics before apart from the emotional ups and downs. That's really interesting and my help me understand myself better. Thanks

I am a male and dyslexic. I never felt confident / adequate enough to provide for a family. So I never got married, and I never had any kids. I didn't want my kids to suffer as I had my whole life. A life of hiding and fear.

I am dislexic and would never tell HR. I am a drafter for over 26 years and I am dam good at it. At this job it's my advantage. Love it. Yes I got an associates degree. I am 50 and very few know this. Could count them on one hand. HR is not there for you they are there to protect the company. Member that.

Thank you so much for your video. I'm in a relationship with a dyslexic person, and all that you have said makes sense... now. I have been struggling to understand why we are arguing every week and to be told I don't have empathy. I find that I am always accused of doing something wrong, and there is no accountability acknowledged from them to our issues or heated arguments, which go from zero to 100 over trivial things or a misunderstanding. Also, I'm always being accused of looking elsewhere for someone else in our relationship, which is not true. So, your video did help me to understand the mindset, but it's very difficult as I have feelings too.

I think dyslexia is one of those things that presents itself differently in everyone. I have it mildly in terms of reading, but my spelling has always been terrible. I don't recoughnise that its hard to realise your imagination. Im actually really good at doing things with my hands and making stuff. Vocalising toughts or writing them down is tough dough. And listening to people, especially game explanations is tough. Im also really good with higher education math or calculus but I was bad at everything they teach you in primary school. The worst thing is that I feel like a weirdo because people often don't understand my way of explaining things, and my terrible attention span. The best thing is the creativity I got back for it :) I also don't recognise the automating thing, I will do everything slower and with more chaos😂

I always ask my wife to ensure I'm listening by using my name first. Otherwises she's a few paragraphs in before I even realised she's been speaking to me 😮. Then I have to pretend I know what she's

My daughter is similar to me but has very, very mild dyslexia. Is it possible someone can be barely dyslexic in spelling but have a strong dyslexic mind set?

My wife gets me to repeat things back to her. But, like you, I'm so open to being wrong that I even take the blame when it turns out I was actually right. Planning - I used to be good at planning but I now get younger braind to PA me.

I have been officially diagnose as ADHD, and it never occurred to me to test for dyslexia. I have all seven of the traits you list. Mysteriously, I can read some kinds of things but not others. I don't get it. Should I test? If I am diagnosed, then what?

I was diagnosed with ADHD in June 2024 at 55. Now I’m sure I’m dyslexic. I feel I’ve struggled all my life and I’ve always been a creative.

I am dyslexic and the thing I do all the time is think that someone has finished talking and they haven’t so I talk over them. I can tell by their face that they are angry so I get frightened to talk at all. Does anyone else do this?

I have dyslexia and so did my mum 😢

Yes in work i always have constant fear of even make a small mistake and also I'd rather thet nobody else apart from the manager gets to know that i have adhd and dyscalculia

Literally all of them to an extreme 😭

I can relate to this i have found out I’m dyslexic in my40s. I have coping mechanisms to help. But have had some work issues over the years with my poor proofing. Also some relationship strains. I almost need a timer for each task to go back and check it. I’m hoping this diagnosis will help find some tools to deal with dyslexia. (I had to review this three times ). Thank you spell check.

I have never been professionally diagnosed but think I am.

Thank you, yes I definitely felt everything you’ve said. Adhd, likely ASD, c-ptsd. And dycalculia recently . Learning how to find my way.

You are unfolding my worst pain point. A daily pain point

There is a young person in my life who has always followed Lego instructions way above his age level, yet is struggling in every school subject. This helps so much in building a case to get him tested.

I have always known I’m dyslexic. I’m 70 & I can’t read without stress. 😢

Yes, it's often hard to describe why i know what I know I just know. My daughter has it even stronger

I do the same

I am rubbish with time, so i arrive 1 hour early as i just don’t get it 🤣 in my dyslexia test she asked if i am ever late, i said no as i like to arrive ealry 😂

I am seriously thinking about getting our hr team to listen to this. Work just pigeon hole as not being able read, not the other associated bits. I had to fess up to work about being dyslexic and they came back with do you need dragon software. No i just need people to back off and let me do it my way and not freak out on shared docs at me until i say ive finished!!

Well been married for 14 years but been together for 19 years. Which I am the dyslexia one however my wife has brain injury and memory issues. She helps me which a lot of stuff but I also have to be on top of my game having two kids which quite a challenge. Also in the process of getting diagnose of ADHD is another string to my bow. Can’t lie it has been a strain on both of us and the kids. I think she got a lot of patients being with me which I am somewhat difficult at times.

I am dyslexic, yet I want to study how to become therapist who teaches people how to live as a dyslexic person. Where shall I begin my journey? Any recommendation of universities ? Or choice order of classes?

Thank you, thank you so much. Even after being diagnosed, I am still in denial thinking I could read. I was a very great reader as a child, how could I even be dyslexic? But described my textbook struggle and work email exactly like how I feel. I felt so understood.

My boyfriend has dyslexia and I just broke up with him because of communication. He's a good person and I feel like I'm just misunderstanding him but it pisses me off so much about the communication thing. I know he's probably going through hell right now because I broke up with him but it's only been 3 days and I don't know what to do or say😢

I love this ❤

I’m one of those people that panic about time, so will give my self loads of extra time to get places etc. but I remain in that stressed place till I get where I need to be - usually with an extra hour to spare 😂.

Wow I’m opposite I had someone clean up and organized my living room once and it send me into a panic attack Not knowing where things were, and mostly it was too cleaned up

What ever happened to ADD? It just disappeared

5:08 mmmmm Ice Cream Sounds good 👍

I have ALL of them and they are not hidden lol. I have both ADHD and Dyslexia

I am the dyslexic one. Didn't know till about late 2016ish I'm 35 now. This video makes 100% sense to me. I can fully relate to it. There are times that I am on top of my game and others when I am overwhelmed where I can't function as a normal adult. Those times are hard on my marriage.

That is spot on, I could never understand in school why they didn't tell you what the purpose of maths sum was! Not until I see the whole picture can I get motivated. In work I need to understand the end game before I start a task. I am surprised that seemingly intelligent people flip-flop on an idea to move forward, I've come to the conclusion that they can't see the big picture, so didn't really have a plan before they started or were not convinced by their own vision. Although I would not consider myself to have ADHD, I often find it difficult to not be over thinking and I have to tell myself to shut-up😂

I'm Dyslexic but have no issue what so ever making a decision. I do find it difficult to argue a point with someone when they put up a counter argument, as I have three or four alternatives retorts come in to my head at the same time, and by the time I chose one I've missed the continuity and have not been able to flush the idea out while still being attacked, but being able to bag down on the a right path to move forward whether in business or personal life no problem.

this i know but i have hide it ,used it with the Irish downing sense of humor . it that put downs in the polite way . ( taking the complete piss ).

I under what i read but if things are on to the point thats it , i have no time for fiction, your example is poor for most of computer based instructions are written badly in that your shown when you move to the next page or screen .

I'm gonna tell you that sounds exactly like me from age 5 × 60 is what I am right now.I am so angry aninfrustrated that I did not get the proper help that I needed.I wanted to be AC.And a nurse❤❤❤❤❤

i have adhd and dyslexia and the ammount of times ive landed myself in trouble by blurting out things ive seen in ppl they thought they were hiding i feel by brain is conspiring against me

I always find the overlap between ADHD, autism, and dyslexia so interesting

We are both dyslexic. I also have ADD which drives my wife crazy sometimes. Right now we are most concerned with helping our 8 year old who is also dyslexic and really struggling with learning to read and write. I will add about our relationship that we have different dyslexic personalities. My wife is the over achieving dyslexic who will work extra to get where she wants to be in life. I am the kind that held himself back, making sure jobs were safe and reading and writing were not a big part of my duties.

I always wondered why I didn't get on or like lists i.e., To-do-Lists. You're the first person I've ever heard this from "that it's to do with our dyslexic brains". Thanks ever so much for this revelation!

Thanks be to God , for this video ,I’ve been feeling so alone, Living and trying to tip-toe around my husbands dyslexia anger moments . People don’t understand the difficulties this brings to a marriage.They think 🤔 it’s just not being able to write properly . This handicap is mis-understood by so many and really does need #airing

I AM dyslexic

I've learned to stop what I am doing to listen if someone is talking to me. Most of the time I can't focus on two things at once. I hated this in school when my mind would wonder off. I would tell myself at night, having trouble sleeping from all the thoughts in my head of what I should or shouldn't have done, that tomorrow I would pay attention in class. Same thing again. couldn't stay focused. Now I realized that it was something they said that triggered a thought. Once thinking about it there was nothing to get me back focused on the lecture. Notes? forget it. I couldn't write and listen simultaneous. so why bother.

This is something I’m learning about for myself. Last year was my first year going back to college from a seven year break. I got re-diagnosed for dyslexia F81.2 and dyslexia F81.0, I also got diagnosed with Irlen syndrome. Now, being in my 30s, having this knowledge, I wish I would’ve learned how dyslexia would affected me as an adult in my daily life and in the workplace. I never realize that my anxiety plays a huge role with my mental health and overall health from my dyslexia. This was the reason why I dropped out of college the first go around. I got very overwhelmed with school and working full-time at one job and part-time at their job that I had a shingles outbreak when I was 23. Now, having this knowledge, I’m more aware of recognizing that I can only do one thing at a time which is why now I am taking it sabbatical from my business and only being a full-time student. ❤ I wish I would have learned this to know more about myself, but also how to integrated in life. Even how to use it in owning a solo business or working with clients and time blindness. Just how are you both mentioned. It’s always about your academics, but it’s never about lifestyle and livelihood and even adult hood. There’s not much support unless you’re in college. I’ve also learned about myself is: • pronouncing words • short term memory • not able to describe or explain things • my vocabulary isn’t well and broad • can only work on one task at a time • get bored easy and always need change or need to learn something • get to places 1 hr or 30 minutes early but working with clients I always run behind, sometimes 30minutes - 3 hours. If they are my only client. They like to talk and time gets head of us. • now starting to tell people I have dyslexia if it happens to come up, instead of hiding it and pretending I don’t. Because I don’t wanted to seem stupid. I’ve noticed when I tell people that I discovered this about myself and dyslexia they discredit it and say everyone feels that way. Which yes I understand, but it almost feel likes when you tell people you have dyslexia and they said “oh I think I’m a little dyslexic too”. Thank you so so much for this video ❤
