This is something that a lot of people think. I am dyslexic but I am smart. I read as well was a college student. I still have a really hard time spelling so when I post some times the words don't come out like I want them to.
There are days when I can't make people understand me and what I want to know. I don't want pity I just need some grace. If I ask questions on a post that is clear to you, I would really like you guys to cut me some slack. I ask because I don't understand, I really want to know things.
Dyslexic people are smart. We just have..... Think of it like this.
Our brain is a room or tunnel, our dyslexia some times slams walls down to block that tunnel and only fragments of a thought or word gets out of the tunnel. Because of this I get frustrated and I do sometimes over react. My brain works really fast and so if my fingers or my thoughts go to slow I get mad.
I see things differently than you do sometimes the world looks really gray and dull or sometimes I see the world full of color where you dont see it. A gift and a curse.
If you don't believe me do some research. I dont have it as bad as some. But imagine not being able to make people understand you. That is what we live with. That is what I have to handle and I promise it is not easy.
Give me some grace please.
I am not calling people out I just want people to understand.

What does the left side do?
It actully does block some of the left side of the brain and unlocks the right, creative side of it
I think the parts of our brains that the dyslexia affects also does stuff with creativiy. Not saying that nurotypicals can’t be creative
Ooof my previous comment sounds really rude..... sowwy, i didn’t mean to sound so mean.....
You guys are just great you are all so kind. You dont really know me but you still care. (Sniffs.) No I am not crying
I may never be able to feel what you guys feel, but I can imagine it, and I just want to let you know that I don’t think you guys stupid at all! When I first joined this, my writing was crap, not to mention my spelling. No, correction, my spelling is still crap, but role playing has improved my writing, and I bet it’ll improve yours!
Wow, that sounds really sad ;(
I get the spelling thing. And i forget my name ocasionaly.
(And all the other words)
:) Maybe. You definitely are (I autocorrected “autocorrected” and “definitely“)
😀 They do have the same feathers! And the saying should be changed to that
I am dyslexic too. and on the autism spectrum. (Which is why I am weird and awkward) the only reason my spelling comes out okay is because of autocorrect
I have never seen any of you guys but I just wanted to say that I think that is kinda nice. I can see you for your kindness and not worry about the outside. You are all beautiful to me and you always will be. You have never been anything but kind to me. I dont deserve it, I know that but you guys still give me it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. God bless you all
I don't think you are dumb. If I have offended you in anyway the few times I have been on here I apologize.
