Subject:

that is a harment comment you just posted I have dyclaxic


This is dyslexia?
I am not familiar with the disorder.
Does this look like dyslexia or someone who just can't spell?
Either way, I believe they are now harassing me.

WELL, it could be blamed on dyslexia, and if he actually IS dyslexic (rather than some sad poser), he could have just misinterpreted the word. I applaud his attempt to actually use this site and help himself. Dyslexia if I remember correctly scrambles information that is read or seen, I remember reading/hearing that a famous actor is dyslexic and needs all his scripts mirrored (which is usually a common thing with dyslexia I think, my hairdresser trained with a dyslexic person and they had to do everything in the mirror).

-nods in agreement-

My father has dyslexia, and there are two types, though the names escape me at the moment. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong.) What this person shows, in my opinion, is a case of possibly both misspelling and dyslexia

Most of it seems to be misspells only, because what this disorder does is reverse letters in certian words consistantly, not at random like this one is.

Then again, I could be wrong. Just thought I'd put my two cents in.

Misspelling and dyslexia go hand in hand. How can one learn to properly spell if you can not even read the correct spelling? I believe that there are different types of dyslexia, as someone has previously stated. I don't know much about dyslexia, except that at least one kind makes letters look inverted, or words backwards.

From my personal experience, Dyslexia is more often switching letters around rather than getting them wrong completely. Writing the letter "p" as the letter "q," or "b" and "d" are common. Then there is the actual word itself; "comply" could become "coplmy," or "direction" could become "dierctoin." It's different for most people, but consistent within each person.

From what I can see, this person is either a horrible sample case (rare type), or a lame poser who doesn't want to learn to spell. I'd put money on the latter.

You're thinking of both dysgraphia and dyslexia; to a certain extent, I'm both.

Dyslexia, in regards to spelling and grammar and such, usually results in parts or words being swapped back and forth, putting part of the end near the front, or writing the whole thing backwards. More than spelling, though, people who are dyslexic often put parts of the sentence in different places than is correct, jumbling the sentence itself.

Dysgraphia is what you're referring to with confusing the characters themselves. Dysgraphic people write one letter when the mean another, or they rotate it, flip it, etc. In extreme cases, some people who are dysgraphic have trouble recalling what a symbol actually looks like.

Hm... makes sense. "-graph-" means "to write or draw," and "-lex-" means "word or words." Although I though Dysgraphia was usually seen in cases of Dyslexia, and vice versa. I don't think I've ever seen a case of one without the other. (Then again, I'm not that experienced...)

HOLY FU-

-Temper, temper.....My father has dyslexia and he is every bit as literate as me. Often the wires cross, and he's a lefty, so it balances out in a way. But he always fixes any mistakes he made- It's not like they're unable to see when they make a mistake while typing- it's just a quick fluke. This person is an obvious reporting troll.
