Answer 1

Dyslexia is a learning disability which is characterized by difficulties with accurate or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities. Dyslexic people appear bright, intelligent, and articulate but are unable to read, write, or spell at an age-appropriate level.

Here are some problems that are common among dyslexics when reading:

- They might see some letters as backwards or upside down;
- They might see text appearing to jump around on a page;
- They might not be able to tell the difference between letters that look similar in shape such as o and e and c ;
- They 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 their stomach every time they try to read;
- They 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;
- They might be able to connect the letters and sound out words, but not recognize words they have seen before, no matter how many times they have seen them -- each time they would have to start fresh;
- They might be able to read the words o.k. but not be able to make sense of or remember what they read, so that they find themselves coming back to read the same passage over and over again.

Note, some dyslexics have some of the above symptoms, but they may also have none of the above. Some dyslexics can read well, but may have major problems with writing and spelling.

Answer 2

My daughter has dyslexia. It is a learning difficulty. Some of the most smartest people in the world have had this. Albert Einstein,
Leanardo, many others. A lot of people with dyslexia switch letters backwards, like d and b, p b. Terrible spellers, trouble reading and writting. Some people have a hard time with the right and left direction. Some have a hard time with reading on one line, their eyes jump around. Sometimes letters move around on the page. It is not a sign of being dumb. Actually these people are very smart and creative.

Answer 3

In a nutshell:
Very poor reading and spelling in a bright person with nothing else wrong.

In official detail:
Dyslexia is a severe reading problem of neurological origin in a person with average or above average intelligence, for whom there are no other physical, medical, or psychological conditions sufficiently serious to account for the language handling deficits.

They have extreme difficulty with letters and numbers..like a phone number, they will see it in reverse...backwards. This is caused by the them using the wrong side of the brain. Some do well, if they can get the other side of the brain working in the reading area.

what's DYSLEXIA?

it stated:

Developmental dyslexia is a condition or learning disability which causes difficulty with reading and writing.

Its standard definition is a difficulty in reading and writing in spite of normal development of intelligence, cognitive and sensory abilities.

The word "dyslexia" comes from the Greek words δυς- dys- ("impaired") and λέξις lexis ("words" or "lexicon"). People are often identified as dyslexic when their reading or writing problems cannot be explained by a lack of intellectual ability, inadequate instruction, or sensory problems such as poor eyesight.

The term dyslexia is also sometimes used to refer to the loss of reading ability following brain damage. This form of dyslexia is more often referred to as either acquired dyslexia or "Alexia". Dyslexia primarily impacts reading and writing abilities; however, other difficulties have been reported including deficits in processing spoken language[1] as well as non-language difficulties[2].

Dyslexia is not limited to reversing the order of letters in reading or writing. Nor is it a visual perception deficit that involves reading letters or words backwards or upside down, as is often implied in popular culture.

Researchers have claimed that it is a brain-based condition with biochemical and genetic markers[3][4][5]. Others have questioned whether dyslexia is no more than a mythological construct and argue that researchers that rely on the concept fail to recognize neurodiversity. Its diagnostic status remains highly debated in both medicine and the social sciences [6].

Answer 5

Dyslexia is an underdevelopment of the eye lens. When one is born the lens is football shaped, as a person grows the eye lens rounds out, people with Dyslexia, their eye lens remains football shaped. This makes reading and writing very difficult as they will see certain letters and numbers backwards. Like 10 would be 01, for example.
