What are common symptoms of dyslexia?

Question

I like to read and I don't have problems speaking or anything like that it's just that I always get my letters mixed up when reading and I read the words as another word. Is this a symptom of dyslexia?

I'm a good reader, I actually like to read and I'm a good speller. Sometimes i just get my words mixed up or read things or write things twice. Or I will read words as words that are similar to them.

Answer 1

I have dyslexia. I know exactly what you are going through. I was one of the lucky ones that it was caught when I was younger. I still have trouble reading and comprehending although if I take my time, somethings i have to read things twice. I still struggle with it but i refuse to let it run my life.

Did you know that most people with disables(learning or handicapped are very smart) It just finding that right people to help unlock that door.

First you need to go the dr and find a specialist who deals with dyselexia they will teach you the tools to help you cope with it.

Adults with dyslexia may:
Hide reading problems.
Spell poorly or rely on others to spell for them.
Avoid writing or not be able to write at all.
Be very competent in oral language.
Rely on memory rather than on reading information.
Have good "people" skills and be very good at "reading" people (intuitive).
Have spatial thinking skills. Examples of professionals who need spatial thinking abilities include engineers, architects, designers, artists and craftspeople, mathematicians, physicists, physicians (especially orthopedists, surgeons), and dentists.
Often work well below their intellectual capacities.
Have difficulty with planning and organization.
Have difficulty with time. For example, they are often too early, late, or forget appointments. They may rely on digital watches due to being unable to tell time.
Be entrepreneurs, although lowered reading skills may result in difficulty maintaining a successful business.

The word ‘dyslexia’ means ‘difficulty with words or language’, and is frequently used to refer to a child — or adult — who seems much brighter than what his reading and written work suggest. The symptoms or signs below indicate that a child has dyslexia and therefore needs help:

Signs are as Follows:
(1) Directional Confusion
(2)Sequencing Difficulties
(3)Difficulties with Little Words
(4)Bizzare Reading and Spelling
(5)Late talking or immature Speech
(6)Difficulties with Math
(7)Makes up a story, based on the illustrations, which bears no relation to the text.
(8)Reads very slowly and hesitantly.
(9)Loses orientation on a line or page while reading, missing lines or reading previously-read lines again.
(10)Reads aloud hesitantly, word by word, monotonously.
(11)Tries to sound the letters of the word, but is then unable to say the correct word. For example, sounds the letters ‘c-a-t’ but then says cold.
(12)Mispronounces words, or puts stress on the wrong syllables.
(13) Reads only in the present tense although the text is in the past.
(14)Foreshortens words, for example ‘portion’ for proportion.
(15) Substitutes another word of similar meaning, for example dog for pup.
(16)Omits prefixes, omits suffixes or adds suffixes.
(17)Reads with poor comprehension, due to spending so much energy trying to read the words.
(18)Remembers little of what he reads.
(19)Spells words as they sound, for example ‘rite’ for right.
(20)Cannot write or match the appropriate letter when given the sound.
(21)Often ignores punctuation. He may omit full stops or commas and fail to see the need for capital letters.
(22) Poor at copying from the board.
(23)Has trouble attaching names to things and people.

You can find a pretty good list here:
http://www.dys-add.com/symptoms.html

Dyslexia is generally diagnosed based on a failure to achieve up to potential in certain academic areas (primarily reading, writing, and spelling) despite adequate instruction. What that basically means is that a child of average or above average intelligence is preforming significantly below where he should be based on his ability and classroom setting only in certain areas.

Dyslexia, like most other learning disabilities, is diagnosed based on a deficit in certain areas relative to overall ability, and doesn't necessarily require that any skills be even below average. That means that a kid who's about average in certain areas that are effected by dyslexia might still be diagnosed as dyslexic if his overall IQ is significantly higher than average.

Not sure if that helps, but I guess the point that I was trying to make is that it's about a deficit in skills relative to what you should be able to do if you weren't dyslexic, rather than relative to the general population of people your age (which is how standardized assessments are scored).
