i have known that i have had dyslexia since i was at least 15 i am now 18
and im just now realizing what dyslexia truly is, the pro's and the con's
i have trouble with, reading, whiting, and of course there are many other things that make it hard to be dyslexic ,
for example some times i get head aches and feel very wheezy when reading or when trying to write .
however its all not bad, its like life there are good things and bad things in life there for there is balance . right ?
so the pro's of having dyslexia , i can see and fix problems that others cant
i can use my brain to see many different things there for i can solve many different , problems on paper in my head in real day to day life ect .
it can be hard living with dyslexia , but just realize that it can be a better tool than a burden,
the best advice that i can give you if you are dyslexic, is that you need to see that you are not alone , and that you are not stupid you just need help seeing your potential ,
and how you can learn to use your dyslexia to you advantage . here are a couple of videos that are quit helpful with showing you these things that i just spoke of .
watching these few videos will help you as a person, dyslexic or not
will help you understand what its truly like to be dyslexic .
i hope that this helps please let me know , with a reply god bless and take care. ✌

@jdn Thank you for sharing your thoughts and point of view! It’s awesome that you’ve been able to see and take advantage of the upsides of living with dyslexia.
I’m not dyslexic, but I’m partially colorblind (which is no easy condition to be in as an artist), so I can relate to the idea of dealing with day-to-day challenges and having to find strategies to problem-solve in ways that other people wouldn’t need to.
And I bet the same is true for so many other people with various challenging conditions: anxiety, depression, autism, ADHD, schizophrenia, physical limitations… only to
mention a few. In the end of the day, I guess all human beings are different in a way or another, so there is no “absolute normal”. It’s a pity that many social and educational systems still don’t face this diversity as a natural way and sometimes still insist in making everyone fit the “average” - then, those who stray a bit more from the midpoint are often seen as “different” (not in a good way), and even as weird, stupid or other negative labels. Thankfully, social awareness for this matter has been better in the past few years than it ever used to be before, so I think this is a sign of hope for the future. 🙂
