Question For Parents Of Dyslexic Kids.?

Repetition is comfort. I have mild auditory dyslexia and I really found comfort in doing the same thing over and over again. When I was a child I would wear the tapes out on 101 Dalmatians and Lion King.

Does she have a subtype of dislexia or is she all around dyslexic?

There are two sub types that most people fall into, auditory or visual dyslexia. If its auditory She's most likely watching the same movies over and over and over again to form a memory of the movies (and its what she enjoys, which only furthers the idea) and when she has a repetitive memory of it, she's more comfortable- at least thats the way it was with me.

Here is a website that may help map it out for you.

Have a good Thanksgiving Newf!

My kids aren't dyslexic but I was when I was a kid and yes I had some little quirks like the ones you described. I played with toys probably longer than most kids and I was really into heavy equipment like bulldozers. I thinks it's normal and shouldn't be taken to seriously. Most kids that are dyslexic become very successful later in life, in fact many experts believe that the majority of CEOs of fortune 500 companies are dyslexic and some the greatest individuals in history were dyslexic like Albert Einstein. In fact if you do some research you'll be shocked at how many rich, famous people are known to be dyslexic. Just remember she learns differently and continue to support her. Dyslexia is more and more being viewed as a benefit than a disability. In case you are curious today I own my own business and I'm a self made millionaire.

Here's a link to a list of famous dyslexics:
