Description
I'm dyslexic, not stupid___________________________
Dyslexia is a specific learning difficulty that mainly affects reading and spelling. Dyslexia is characterized by difficulties in processing word-sounds and by weaknesses in short-term verbal memory; its effects may be seen in spoken language as well as written language. The current evidence suggests that these difficulties arise from inefficiencies in language-processing areas in the left hemisphere of the brain which, in turn, appear to be linked to genetic differences.
Dyslexia is life-long, but its effects can be minimised by targeted literacy intervention, technological support and adaptations to ways of working and learning. Dyslexia is not related to intelligence, race or social background. Dyslexia varies in severity and often occurs alongside other specific learning difficulties, such as Dyspraxia or Attention Deficit Disorder, resulting in variation in the degree and nature of individualsβ strengths and weaknesses.

I have used a lot of different ones over the years. The current one came with the laptop and to be honest I have no idea what it's called :/ it sort of automatcally started when I turn on the laptop... It only works on microsoft word though so I have to copy and paste everything I want to write from there lol

well this is why I have a computer programme which helps me to write, the above is what my writting looks like without said programme. I can't help it, my brain just isn't wired correctly

Dyslexia impairs your spelling, not your grammar.
"I can't help it, my brain just isn't wired correctly"
Riiight.

Dyslexia can affect spelling, grammar, the ability to read, the ability to place words correctly in a sentence. It can even affect your ability to read charts and numbers, as well as do math.
I have dyslexia as well, and I have these problems. Mine mostly affects my ability to read numbers, charts, and do math, but it minorly affects my ability to spell, read, and say a sentence in the right order as well.

So you're a retard.

No. Saying that because someone has dyslexia they are retarded is like saying somebody with a bum knee is crippled. It messes with how people order things, not how they think or learn. It's not an intellectual disability.

I was joking.

Sorry. It's kind of difficult to tell if somebody's joking or not over the internet.

Was Tesla a retard, I mean he didn't speak well, but yet, he made the ac current that feeds your computer right now to read what I am typing. Because you have a problem doesn't mean you are limited in one area. Everyone has strengths and everyone has weaknesses, even you. If I so chosen to, i could point out your main weakness like you have tried to do with all of us. The only difference is that I have lived a life to a point of understanding, and I understand that it's a pointless thing point out flaws over and over again.
I looked at your gallery, and I am too one that points out BS. The main difference is that I have grown up.

Tesla was shy and English was his second language.
As someone with the same first language as Tesla, I know how hard is to directly translate your thoughts accurately.
The point is... there is a difference in between being ill and being lazy.

"Tesla was shy and English was his second language.

You understand how we feel then. I have troubles writing from time to time, but I have not stopped. The only time when I want to stop is when people find out about my challenge and call me stupid or retarded. Just imagine when you were learning english people called you stupid and retarded because you couldn't speak english well. Think about what you would have felt like. Think about this, some people are not born with the unique pull to press forward through those kinds of actions. Me and You are people that were gifted with that gift. Others have to find it through encouragement. I was gifted with this gift thanks to my family pushing me in a positive light when I was younger. You are wrong for using constructive criticism with this person. If you want them to progress forward or if you want to be a human being, you should have stated that it's a retardation of the speech center and that you are proud of them for pushing forward even though they had such "illness." I know it sounds like BS, but it is not. The reason it's not is what I stated above. Some people are stronger when pushed positively. These people tend to be stronger than people that are pushed with negativity.
So, please, re-frame from making comments like, "so, your retarded" unless you see the person's personality accepts constructive criticism in a positive way. That is my point.
Now your main point, Yes, people use it as a reason to be lazy. I can't stand those kind of people. I normally challenge them with something more positive because I have found from dealing with thousands of people each day that the lazy ones normally need a encouraging push instead of a constructive criticism push.

You don't know what you're talking about. You shouldn't even comment! Open a wikipedia page or something!
You think you're better than other people, but guess what? YOU'RE NOT! After reading your comments, I'm SURE you're the stupid one!

actually dyslexia impares pattern recognision, which makes recognising letters and patterns of both words and gramatical laws difficult

This is so true. I wish all the small minded folk in the world could see it. By the way, Ozzy Osbourne and Richard Branson are dyslexic as well. They're successful, rihgt?

to be honest...well...i didn't real all of it but most of it. look at it like this: we both have a sucky handwriting but you are at least grown up with the english language. for me i have had to learn in from third grade in school and now i have passed the highest english class in the swedish school called English C. but english is still my second language...
yeah i'm proud of myself to have two languages instead of just one.
