Im 19 I think i have dyslexia, and i need help or advice?

first of all breathe........ the human brain works in many different ways. You may have a certain way you can learn. I used to have problems until i realized what i had to do. Slow down. Your understanding may end up being deeper than mmost. Unfortunately schools are trying to go fast and that is why most kids dont reatain anything after they are out of school.I say try understanding the bottomline of ides. Dont get caught up in the details. You can find a study group of some like minded people. Beleive me, we are out there and are just as lost as you. I formeed a group of peers and we helped eachother to understand more than a teacher with a masters. Most teachers are just reapeaters. Spitting out the same jargin that was told to them. Most people can only explain things in one way. Like i said earlier, you may be slow, but i bet once you know it, you can break it down 20 different ways. good luck !!!!!!

The immediate problem first, those 120 pages of size 8 font text.

Can you get the text on to onto a word processor, like Microsoft Word, or OpenOffice. you can then increase the size of the font, breakup the paragraphs starting each sentence on a new line, and / or changing the font colour for each sentence, you could also use the bold option for important information as well as the underline option. This may make he text more managable,and more memorable.

As if your teachers have an prepared notes you could have copies of so that you can concentrate on absorbing information in class and not be destracted by having to take notes.

You may have Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) which is part of one cognitive subtype of dyslexia.

Dyslexia is about having problems with a man made communication system the visual notion of speech, and you are having problems with the graphic symbols used to represent speech.

Dyslexia is language dependent, so it is possible to be bilingual in Japanese and English, but only dyslexic in English. It does depend on the writing system, and language used in your culture.

Dyslexia has three cognitive subtypes auditory, visual, and attentional. Dyslexics can have auditory processing (listening) problems, and or visual processing problems, and or attention problems. Any one of the three or any combination of the three. These disabilities tend to be of genetic origin so at least one of your biological parents may share these types of problems, and may be a source of coping strategies to work around these issue.

You may be able to have a Dyslexia assessment arranged and funded by your school, see the Senco, and funded by the LEA. If you can identify the underlying cognitive cause of your dyslexia such as APD then you may require a GP referral to the relevant medical diagnostic professional.

I'm 18 and I'm very dyslexic i live in the UK I've had the same trouble with exams and studying. First things first you should be entitled to a reader and scribe and extra time for exams due to your dyslexia make sure you get those because they are worth the trouble getting it. If your not use to a scribe you'll need practice but its worth it makes it easier to say your thoughts aloud than to try write then down, but you must remember that a scribe can only write so fast so you'll need to keep hold of your ideas, second ask you teachers for lesson plans tell them your having problems keeping up with class and that if it was OK if you got print out notes or if the teacher could copy notes for you, all this is done through school i recommend talking to the schools learning difficulties department they all have one they should be able to help you out . you might have to fight for it but its worth it i passed my higher English exam this last year when i was told when i entered high school that there no way I'd be able to pass.

if you have any questions I'd be more than happy to help

many people have a certain way of learning have u tried getting support if so what has that been like i have learning difficulties but that doesnt affect me very much having learning difficulties is nothing to be ashamed of anyone bullies me over my difficulties i come back at them either tell teacher or come out with something smart **** people with dyslexia can get help called the disabled students grant or something like that with that you can get someone to jot notes down for u and have extra help how serious is the bullying by the way?

Based on what you have said that you learn efficiently when your teacher reads or explains from the board, I can suggest that you should try having a tutor. It seems that you learn much better when someone is explaining the lesson for you. I just hope that you'll be able to find the right tutor for you.

If you think you have dyslexia, evaluate yourself with the following symptoms:

"There is no single pattern of difficulty that affects all dyslexic people. A dyslexic person might have any of the following problems:

She might see some letters as backwards or upside down;

She might see text appearing to jump around on a page;

She might not be able to tell the difference between letters that look similar in shape such as o and e and c ;

She might not be able to tell the difference between letters that have similar shape but different orientation, such as b and p and d and q ;

The letters might look all jumbled up and out of order;

The letters and words might look all bunched together;

The letters of some words might appear completely backwards, such as the word bird looking like drib ;

The letters and words might look o.k., but the dyslexic person might get a severe headache or feel sick to her stomach every time she tries to read;

She might see the letters o.k., but not be able to sound out words -- that is, not be able to connect the letters to the sounds they make and understand them;

She might be able to connect the letters and sound out words, but not recognize words she has seen before, no matter how many times she has seen them -- each time she would have to start fresh;

She might be able to read the words o.k. but not be able to make sense of or remember what she reads, so that she finds herself coming back to read the same passage over and over again.

A dyslexic person could have any of the above symptoms -- or none! It is possible for a dyslexic person to be able to read very well, yet find it extremely difficult or impossible to write or spell. Sometimes the writing problem is called 'dysgraphia' instead of 'dyslexia' - but we find that often these symptoms stem from the same underlying causes as dyslexia.

It is important to understand that when a dyslexic person *sees* letters or words reversed or mixed up, there is usually nothing wrong with her eyes. The problem is in the way the mind interprets what the eyes see -- like an optical illusion, except this mismatch between what illusion and reality happens with ordinary print on a page."

If you intend to train your little child to learn popular phrases that may likely run into and which can be exceptions to fundamental phonetic principles then things you need is here https://tr.im/mA1Ux , Children Learning Reading program.

 Children Learning Reading is a phonetic based studying system. This means that it first teaches your son or daughter the letters of the alphabet and the appears they make. It then applies that understanding to greatly help your youngster figure out words based on the appears the words make. This program is made to teach the essential "code" for reading initially. Only after this has been acquired are exceptions, issues, and modifications introduced.
