I have my doubts on wether or not dyslexia exists, wether it be a malfunction of the brain or just basic neglegence in early lifetime, but what I know for certain is, if you recognise that something isn't right then your halfway through sorting it out.

venom i dont agree with what your saying. I know some very clever people who are dyslexic. if it is a malfunction of the brain then that part i would agree with hence its naming of dyslexia!

Like I said previous, I just have a doubt, nothing more, it's nothing nasty or malicious to anyone, I just aint sure, you could look at it the other way round, I'm not sure it "doesn't" exist.
You seem a smart chap TNM, so I think you understand what I mean.

what im saying is i know people with dyslexia and they just carry on reading oblivious to their mistake. i will have a look into what detailed research has been carried out in to early signs on it.
I use to think my little brother had it because he went through a phase in younger life of writting things back wards and i dont mean putting dan instead of and i mean the letters or numbers faced the wrong way!

I also watched this, but I had no self-conclusion of dyslexia way before this anyways, I'm one of these blokes where if someone can put something infront of me to state otherwise, then I'll hold my hand up, I like to learn things, knowledge is power.

youngster would usually mix up the alphacharacters p,q,9, with each other.
They visualise the letters differently.

I know a lad who has dyslexia. It's quite sad really but he gets on with it. He cannot even type a text message without getting confused

I agree with Venom, I believe its just another excuse for people like attention deficit disorder, pull yourself together.

when you use dyslexia as an excuse for not being able to read or spell properly you should just kill yourself
