Is that true Dyslexia is myth? Some experts says weakness could be overcome by practice, training and skills.?

Question

Some of the high flying personalities are described dyslexics, for example, some of the prominent scientists in past. Ammerican President Goerge. W. Bush is said to be dyslexic.

Answer 1

Dyslexia is real and there are different severities of it as with all conditions. People with dyslexia can improve as anyone can but there are many different ways that you would be able to tell the difference between dyslexia and someone who just wasn,t very good at reading, writing or maths such as words and numbers seeming to move around the page and differences in the way things look according to what colour they are. But it is not true that problems caused by this cannot be overcome.
It is true that many people, celebrities in particular seem to have been labelled with all kinds of things for which there is little proof.
I mean if poor old Albert Einstein , Bill Gates , Charlie Chaplin , Winston Churchill and various other people had every condition that they have been credited with by somebody or other over the years they would be or would have been in a bit of a state!

Answer 2

Dyslexia is not a myth...but it can seem that way when so many people claim to be dyslexic when they are not.

True dyslexia sufferers have a condition where the chemical reactions and electrical impulses on the surface of their brains is so disturbed as to make it impossible to make sense of certain experiences. With dyslexia it is obviously making a sensible system out of words and numbers.

Everybody makes mistakes with these and some people are not sufficiently educated to cope with these, but this does not make us all dyslexic. I am not much good at maths, but if i needed to be...I know I could improve...a dyslexic would find it impossible to improve.

Answer 3

Dyslexia is not a myth. However, there are too many people who , to protect their egos, convince themselves that they are dyslexic. It seems better than to admit that they simply cannot spell. I have seen the work of a lot of poeple who believe that they are when in fact they do not make the type of mistake that someone with dyslexia does. They just slip up with spelling and punctuation.

Answer 4

Reminds me of the sergeant leading the route march, couldn't make his mind up.
Seriously, dyslexia is no myth. It's awfully difficult trying to hide it, as most sufferers do, for a lifetime. Dyslexics should get better treatment from everyone else.

Answer 5

Dyslexia is used by all and sundry as an excuse for them not being able to spell or add up.
Real dyslexics are usually very very intelligent. They simply get letters round the wrong way and numbers too. They are usually very good with maths but not so good with language.
I work with young children with special needs, and 'special needs' doesn't necessarily mean you can put them under the 'dyslexia umbrella'.

Answer 6

Your question ansers itself, it is not a myth! However people with particular needs in spelling and reading can compensate in other ways. Dsylexia doesn't have to hold you back as Susan Hampshire has proven. Current thought is moving away from labels like dyslexia to looking at different aspects of a person's brain processing and working on less broad concepts to help overcome the particular difficulties.

Answer 7

Well I have mild dyslexia so its definitely not a myth. I am a good speller though, mine is a number dyslexia so I frequently get numbers round the wrong way.

Answer 8

I think that Dyslexia is a real problem that alot of people have... I also think that it can be overcome with pratice and training, but it's still a real true problem.

Answer 9

on! Dyslexia Lures KO!

Answer 10

Learning disabilities are real, but they can be compensated for.
