      Good for you. I started college at 18 and didn't get my Bachelor's until 30 then went for a Master's in Bioinformatics but got discouraged because I couldn't get an internship so dropped out after 2nd semester. Now I'm learning French at 38 and working on writing a children's book in French and English. I struggled to read until 3rd grade then read college level in elementary. I didn't learn to ride a bike until 10 yo. I was bullied and at times wanted to end my life.

    Hey Quinn, next time when you are interviewing someone, pls ask about how to deal dyslexia as adults. We usually go bk to the childhood and the problems then but hardly someone discusses dealing with it as adults. Thanks.

    I am constantly amazed at how many people have dyslexia. I am 63 years old , at school i was called lazy , stupid and a dunch . All of them made me feel different and alone . Yes i had lots friends , but i was sent to a special school at 11 years old . I hated being cent away from my friend's . I felt lost for a while, but i made new fiends there . To be honest i feel that the dyslexia made me more determined to learn . My talent was that i was good at art and fixing things . ❤

    I suffered with learning disabilities too. I'm 70 now. I was tutored after school and every summer. I was never diagnosed with anything. I was a called a slow learner. I hated school and was bullied all the time. I blamed the bullying for my lack of focus in school. I spent every waking moment, worrying about being messed with. I was (shoved, tripped, having my books thrown on the ground, called names). I was the smallest kid, too. I overcame it all, too. And also graduated with Honors.

    Wow. I'm certainly glad that Steven Spielberg had such a hard time growing up. I met him at a time in his life when he'd already forgotten more about making great films than all the professors in all the colleges and universities of all the earth would ever learn. His life is lesson to us all: live with courage. Steve Spielberg was the bravest young man I ever met and I owe him my life. George W. Bush (who was a very bad person at one time) got 22 of his thug friends together, tough guys who'd molested my pretty, smart girlfriend, and came after me with bricks and boards and rocks. At the last possible instant who personally scared all 23 of them off and kept them running all the way over that hill? Steven Spielberg. That guy could scream, he scared me so much I ran after the pack myself until I found a good place to hide, behind a picket fence covered with honeysuckle. I will never forget that honeysuckle, the sweet smell of it, like life itself. Steve'd come back for me, I was shaking. I had 30, maybe 40 pounds on Steve. Any one of those 23 thugs would have been twice his size if they'd had courage enough to face Steve's rage, but they didn't, until they got themselves a gun and came back topping the hill screaming and shooting it off. They put a hole in Ann Richards' Toyota, but we made it out of there, alive and healthy, thanks to the courage and fortitude of Steven Spielberg.

    This is a great video. I’m almost 40 and was diagnosed as dyslexic at school. Dyslexia is who I am. But as a adult I have tried desperately not to be dyslexic - did those jobs dyslexics find ten times worse than those non-dyslexics, but always brought something different and everyone else. That is why I stay employed, not my ability to read, spell or write quickly. The more amazing people like Steven talk about being dyslexic, the battle and the gift, the better it will be for all of us similarly different people, including those who are still trying to understand how and why they are different. A great great video, thanks for uploading.

    I am a dyslexic person too. Every time I read a book, I get bored. I couldn't understand what I have read. I always feared that I may be considered that I may be, "the dumb one". I am always the odd-one-out. Even my parents couldn't believe me when they found out that I am not learning as fast as I should be. They were disappointed. The saddest part is that I am dealing with this same issue now. I found this video to be very inspirational because this is somebody that I share the same issue with. The fun part is that this dyslexic person happens to be one of my favorite film directors working today.

  • @tripsadelica
    @tripsadelica Před 6 lety +3

    There is dyslexia and there is what I term "oppositional reading disorder". Both things are very real. True dyslexics are visually intelligent, artistic and deep in character. Like Steven here they fall "out of love" for reading because of early bad experiences in primary school (elementary school) but often come back to it because they savour good writing and, as Steven says, their comprehension is excellent and their reception of motifs and messages within writing is prodigious.
    In Spielberg's case his visual artistry and his love for movies (so much easier than reading when he was a little kid) coalesced into a drive to become a successful director. I don't think he did this for the money (although the money helps)...he did this because films helped him say what he would have found difficult to put into written expression. All his films have a deeper meaning and all his films, to me, are like masterpieces hanging in a gallery to be observed, digested and thought about.
    Oppositional Reading Disorder ( a term of my own coining, being that I was an primary school teacher for many years) is a different kettle of fish. It usually affects boys between the ages of around 8 to 16. These are kids whose main interest is sports and physical play. They don't like reading because it's a chore for them...not because reading is hard...they just don't like it. These kids require a LOT of modelling of proper reading behaviour (having teachers, especially male teachers, reading interesting and adventure-packed stories to them in character voices, etc), modelling of good reading behaviour in the home by BOTH parents and the development of what I call "family quiet time". This is a time when all electronic entertainment devices go off and EVERYONE in the family sits around in the living room reading for fun. This can be as short as twenty minutes or as long as an hour. At the end of the quiet time everyone in the family should just have a yarn about what they have read so far. This should be followed by a nice snack or a cup of cocoa for the kids...anything to make the experience pleasant and family-bonding for the children. Believe me, boys who really hate reading will turn themselves into good readers if these simple suggestions are followed to the letter.

    ....I think Steven must have felt a great warmth and relaxation in him when he got into the movie/TV business, as he said...."It saved me." He finally found something that he could fit into, escape the routine system of leanings of school/collage and suddenly found he was focusing on film making that was like being born again to a new life. Some dyslexics never find the ability that they are made for, Steven luck-idly did. I am partly dyslexic i think, i have never been tested, but after reading and viewing about it, i see some commonalities in it about me.

    Wow! “School day was another long day, in the worst day of my whole life”. This was my life. It was so sad. It breaks my heart just thinking of the pain and embarrassment. I knew people thought of me as being stupid, I couldn’t escape that, I couldn’t prove them wrong, because the school system was set up differently than what I could understand. I painstakingly memorized every word, rather than learning sounds. In my late 20’s early 30’s when I had babies, toddlers and young children, I bought them books and read out loud to them. They didn’t judge me. It was the first time I was able to relax and really start learning how to read. I also learned phonics for the first time. All in all, I wouldn’t change a thing about my dyslexia, it’s the one thing that make me an individual. My mind works differently than others and I’m ok with that. I still have daily troubles like reading out numbers are the most taxing for my brain. I also just found out that my issue with remembering names was part of my dyslexia. I finally just thought, after another embarrassing incident; why don’t I remember names? Then I thought I should look that up on Google....and I thought to myself, it’s like being “name blind” because I have difficulty seeing the person’s name in my mind...so I Googled ‘name blindness’ and wouldn’t you know it.....there is such a thing!!! Funny, my brain works so fast that I never stopped to think about it, but every word has a picture that comes up when I think of it. No wonder names are difficult, because everyone looks different but their names could be the same. Quick question, Steven, likely you are one of us...what’s called Mandela Effected, when are you going to breakout your camera and creativity and tackle this massive incredible phenomena, that everyone is ridiculing? I just deleted more than 100 video’s I had up, because of rude commenters. We in the M.E. Community could sure use someone like you in our corner. I mean, think about it....are there 2 of you? One that wrote “Luke, I am your father” and one that wrote “No, I am your father”....And the silver leg....etc, etc, etc.

    Hey Bre Re. Before you go around calling people retards why don't you research the person's background and have a little bit more respect. Here is Quinn Bradlee's Bio
    About Quinn
    Quinn Bradlee has dedicated the last 4 years of his life to helping others with learning disabilities and velo-cardio-facial syndrome (VCFS). Born with a hole in his heart that required invasive surgery when he was only three months old, Quinn suffered from a battery of illnesses -seizures, migraines, fevers-from an early age. But it wasn’t until he was fourteen that Bradlee was correctly diagnosed with Velo-Cardio-Facial Syndrome (VCFS), a little-understood disorder that affects 1 in 2000 people and is expressed through a wide range of physical ailments and learning disabilities.
    Quinn graduated from the Gow School, a college prep school for students with learning disabilities, with honors. He also attended The Lab School in Washington, DC, The New York Film Academy, and programs at the American University and Landmark College. He is the author of a memoir entitled A Different Life: Growing Up Learning Disabled and Other Adventures, documenting his efforts to overcome VCFS, and a second book entitled A Life’s Work: Fathers and Sons, which he co-authored with his father. Quinn assisted in the making of HBO’s I can’t do this but I can do that, a film for families about learning differences.
    Quinn Bradlee is the son of long-time Washington Post executive editor Ben Bradlee and bestselling author Sally Quinn. He lives in Washington, DC with his wife Pari.

It always amazes me, how dyslexic people find ways to work around their unique personalities, in secret and silence very unique. Without anger or prejudice. I always feel grateful that I just made it by every day feeling grateful that I was able to move forward. My grandfather used to say I sooner I have good luck then anything else. Because you always feel happy and contented inside her soul. Steadyasshegosssssssss :)

    Words like “sing and sign”, transposition errors in my accounting class. But the worst is when I had a dispatch job and I had to organize a series of numbers and I would mix the numbers up. Also, I was a very slow reader. But my next door neighbour was an ex British school teacher who read stories from, “Sam the pig”, and I would spend a couple of hours learning to read every week when I was seven. I was never formally diagnosed with dyslexia. I am 69 years old and retired.

Now at 27 im realizing i need help for it because I wasn’t taught how to read better, i was just made to feel better for passing tests.

  • @jenniferbloomfield3656

    I got diagnosed with Dyslexia, but when we tried to get help couldn't get any. An English teacher even said that Dyslexia doesn't exist. If that is an English teacher you don't have much hope with other teachers. When I read I often don't understand the story because I often miss lines or words. Or I can't understand words. Sometimes being diagnosed early means nothing. I was diagnosed when I was in nursery I think. So it was known throughout my whole school time. But it is why I prefer non-fiction to fiction. You don't tend to need to follow what's happening in non-fiction. I also found it hard to visualise the characters, so it made it hard to follow stories. But just because I found English hard, I enjoyed other subjects that weren't as reliant on English, but more knowledge or research, or creative things like DT food and ICT. Biology was another subject I found hard because of all the complicated words that are used. I was unable to spell them so I couldn't remember them. Hence why I hate exams!

    When your not dyslexic and you find out that people like Steven Spielberg, or Richard Branson are dyslexic, you say, “Wow!”
    But when you are dyslexic and find that it out you say, “That makes perfect sense!”

    I have learning disabilities (not dyslexia, but just as frustrating and life-affecting), so I can REALLY relate to a lot of what he said! I also looked up info on Quinn Bradlee here, and found that he also has learning disabilities, apparently brought on by 22q deletion syndrome (a chromosonal disorder) that apparently has a 90% rate of learning disabilities. It might be interesting for people with LD to get tested and see if they have 22q

    If only more people could realize the reality of it! Spielberg is speaking through experiential knowledge, which is made easier through dyslexia (the different way of thinking). The interviewer on the other hand is speaking through his linear programming and not listening to half the things that Spielberg is expressing... we don't just listen with our ears. Dyslexia is still a dark area for the current educational, psychological and scientific areas.

  • @nickpelton5728

    I have to wonder how much his dyslexia affected his ability as a director. Spielberg is known (among other things) for his ability to compose a shot visually, and I wonder if that same ability is tied in to his dyslexia. Even if it isn't directly related, I'm sure the hardships included with dyslexia has changed his mentality towards movies and life. Perhaps his difficulty with reading is what led to his love of movies in the first place.
    Obviously I'm not saying his talent IS his dyslexia, but it's a part of him the same way everything else is. Stevie Wonder would have been a great musician if he could see, but I guarantee he wouldn't have written the same songs I love today.

    my second oldest brother has dyslexia and when I was going through school I got held back in kindergarten and half way through 1st grade we found out I was dyslexic because my parents made sure I was tested. I remember reading a line and then loosing my spot and skipping a few lines and start reading. I still have fear of reading aloud because I'm afraid I'm going to start skipping lines and stuttering. I still to this day mess up my Bs Ds Ps Qs and Gs and Ys. I was in a dyslexia class/program called "Let's Read" and I found out that people were actually afraid of being bullied because of their dyslexia. starting in Elementary I would leave which ever class I was in at the time and go to this small closet room area that was for one on one help with reading. it was only 30 minutes long and I went every day. when I got to 5th grade in a different school I had a 45 minute class with other kids where we actually discussed what dyslexia was and how it effected us. I played viola in 5th grade but had to drop out in 6th because they were changing how our electives were set up. (in 5th I didn't have History and got to have my elective) so in 6th I lost my opportunity to play in orchestra and was in the first history class that I actually had to pay attention in. it was annoying and hard for me to understand because comprehension was a weakness of mine. going to a different school I was in the 7th grade where we helped our reading by reading short chapter books that never had over 150 pages. it was simple and easy. 8th grade was my last year in the dyslexia class. a family tragedy that truly impacted me happened and it seemed that I had gotten worse with my dyslexia when we were tested on our fluency. we did basically what we did in 7th grade. at the end of 8th grade there was an award ceremony and I was given the "Most Improved" certificate for how much I had changed in fluency and comprehension over X amount of years. I am in 10th grade now and am failing practically all my core classes because they surround themselves with words and phrases that I can't pick up quickly. I still try to not read aloud because of how bad I am now at it. I draw lots of different things mostly my OCs from my favorite TV shows and crochet random things. I am excelling at Fine Arts classes but am not part of orchestra. sometimes while writing I was to just tell my teacher "my handwriting is horrible and just.... dyslexia!" because I was put in a extra reading class and felt discouraged towards certain subjects I have given up on asking for help at school. I spend a lot of my time drawing or thinking of things to myself. I try to help my friends in an artistic point of view and teach them how to draw like I do. I guess you need less to make the best. :33 I'm glad to know the director of the Goonies is dyslexic it gives me another reason to smile when I say the word "dyslexia"
