Stephanie Ruhle, star of MSNBC’s 11th hour, tells Kate how she discovered she was dyslexic when her son was identified.

I cried while watch you cry! Thank you so much! I finally found someone like me .
Thank you, Kate, for the excellent episode with an interesting interlocutor. I don’t understand English, so I watch with subtitles in my language, and I write a comment through a translator. But this does not prevent me from feeling the positive energy and the message that Stephanie conveys.
Not giving up is a good and correct call, Stephanie, I promise you, I will not give up.
When I was diagnosed with dyslexia with ADHD at the age of 48, it became clear why I write with mistakes, why I don’t see words, why despite all the efforts and efforts, I still could not learn a single foreign language during my life, etc. This made me very angry.
I pushed aside standard learning methods and decided to learn English by developing my own methodology.
Now it is my mission to find a method of studying a foreign language for adults with difficulties in learning a foreign language due to dyslexia and ADHD.
If everything works out for me, I plan to organize help for people with the same difficulties.
I post video reports on my CZcams channel, documenting the entire path from the very beginning. I consider this fair, as English-speaking people will be able to track progress through these video reports. So far, everything is going very hard, I feel like a fish trying to climb a tree. But I won’t give up, I promise)
There are moments that a message hits home. Hearing this story is to me like a coaching session. It resonates at every level. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you!
I am a fellow dyslexic thinker and appreciate everything that Made by Dyslexia has done. In addition, my wife Pam and I have a private practice teaching dyslexic students.
I'm 64 years old and struggled my whole life with dyslexia. I spent my young life "gaming the system" This series means so much to me. How can I get more involved? I went trough a lot of Psych. testing as a young child, and have paper documents from that time. I may be an interesting case study for someone :) It's caused difficulties in my life because I've tried to explain to people that I had to teach my self not to cheat and lie to hide my "Strange literacy".
What job did/do you do? I'm 60 and dyslexic. I don't cheat or lie, I just work out ways round non-dyslexic problems in the best way that I can find. :)
@@michellebarbour5777 I am an industrial designer. I meant when I was in grade school. As you can see it was a problem Stephanie struggled with too.
Soft skills are definitely valuable but without the basics, apart from the very highest I.Q. students, the E.Q. skills will not be valuable. Teach to dyslexic needs from day 1 (4 year olds). Screen for dyslexia at age 7 in all schools. Prevent the over representation of addiction issues, school exclusions and over representation of convicts with dyslexia. The cost -benefit would be huge.

I’m dyslexic myself I only found out when was in let 30s its hard. I used to wonder why is this happening how is this happening to me on the day I was diagnosed with dyslexia I come to understand. It’s not easy
