Yes, I asked you this before, and you gave me a partial reply. So I will rephrase and ask again

Which one of the texts below do you feel most comfortable reading:

1) If you want to no sumthing about these fill free to arsk a quesjoun.

2) If you want to know something about these feel free to ask a question.

Is it (1) or (2)?

This is a genuine query; not a piss-take

Wen it coms to spelling spell check dus not always work nor dus alto spell. (But I do like alto spell out the 2) Sum times thay don't rekanise wot im spelling and. With spell check witch is only on a pc you get 3 to 4 words all spelt in a simyoular way but meen difrount things. If you cant spell it to start of with how r you ment to pik the crouct spelling out of a list witch has like just 1 letter difrounce in eatch word but all sound the same but have difrount meanings.

This is not a qursjon its just a small statmount.

I don't know anything about the two conditions. If you're dyslexic does that mean you can never learn or remember things, like what exactly is the condition?

Thankyou for putting this up op.

Although my sons spelling isnt particularly bad, the other things you describe are exactly the same as him.

Youve already answered one of the questions i was going to ask so my question is.

If your reading a description of something can you visualize it with out pictures.

Also was your your dyslexia picked up at an early age

Dyslexia and Asperger's are not concomitant.

I was diagnosed with dyslexica and dyspraxia at 14. My parents were both special needs teachers so I have had help with 'coping strategies ' since then. I have also worked very hard on trying the write and spell properly.

My choose job meant I could not say ' oh I'm dyslexic ' for mistakes made.

We learn in a different way to others, I'm a very visual learner. A hand on approach works for me.

Even as an adult my reading age roughly of a 10 year old, this is high enough to get by and read tabloid newspapers.

I personally think children should be tested for dyslexia at five and taught accordingly.

Your roughly the same age as my son and his wasnt picked up until later.

Its something that if picked up at an early can stop people feeling as though they are lazy and dyipif

I see the words you write/type and I notice sometimes you spell them differently. I can read phonetically so i can understand your posts.

i spell quite badly but thanks to predictive text, it's easier and I'm still learning my basic mistakes.

But I always spell my words (the ones i can't spell) the same.

Why do you change your spellings.

Serious question also.

They also come in pink and blue depending on the severity of your condition you'll find you'll respond to one colour better than others. It's a really simply tool but as helped my English skills to come on in leaps and bounds. Yes I still make mistakes if I'm not. Concentrating well but I am only human mistakes happen to us all "
they have all the coloured card for my son, they draw instructions but many show him hands on hes come on so well they have a dictaphone for him as well

They also recieved funding for it all

My iPhone accepts a certain way I spell something. It then learns for next time. For example, I once spelt realy wrong and now, each time I type it it puts 'my wrong spelling of it'. Do you use an iPhone?

Colour is very important I find things easier when they are red tested and red seems to be my focus colour. I'm dyspraxic and find it jumble things mainly numbers around but like most find that physically doing is better than learning from books.

So how is technology helping with your online communication.

Writing by hand is difficult.

Are you not finding things easier with technology. As i have found my personal miss-spelling has vastly improved with my auto/predictive text.

Even the word Dyslexia or Dyslexic (which in itself is difficult to spell) comes out the same.

Why not switch your predictive text on and let it help you?

you need to delete everything your phone has saved in spell check. it's spelling things wrong because you have done this more than once yourself and it's saved those words as actual words.

this means you will have to understand how words should be spelt to be able to use spell check though.

Talking on line is easyer than talking of line to me but at times my nurvs still kik in. A good exzarmpall... I find it still hard to even send a message to sum one on hear.

Even going out sumwrar new is extremely nurvraking but this is not dislexic this is aspurgies. Witch I also have. It's also harder to exsplane.

On top of that unlike people without these conditions complacency and lazyness never seem to take hold if you show him how to do something he will do it the same way every time without fail very usefull in allot of jobs

Unfortunately testing a child that young wouldn't always give an accurate result.

You have to have a certain level of reading and writing to be tested. Same with dyscalclus.

The dyslexica institute recommends the age of 7 for thier testing.

"This is a genuine question to you and other posters on this thread, not me being an arsehole:

People with disabilities like dyslexia and Aspergers are not looking for sympathy, but understanding. It would be wrong to offer people with disabilities an easier time, but I feel if you understand a condition you can make adjustments for it.

People who have conditions such as dyslexia are not all the same. We are individuals. For example the OP finds written stuff difficult to read if spelt "correctly" as compared with spelling it the way it sounds? I have dyslexia just like him, but I do find words spelt the normal way easier to read than those spelt in any other way.

It's understanding about why people behave and think the way they do which is the most important thing. After you have that understanding then it becomes a lot easier to change things, just slightly, so that people with disabilities can fully engage in society.

I'm so pleased this thread is as popular as it is - Well done the OP and other posters.

Most of us adjust how we interact with others depending upon our experience and feedback that we pick up from them. So making adjustments for people who have these conditions isn't special treatment, it is just what we do naturally. Many of us just are not particularly good at knowing how best to adjust, so it can mean that we make things harder for others.

Thanks for opening this thread op and sharing your offer.

I agree..

my nephew struggled throughout his school life and was called stupid, or a dunce, because he couldn't follow basic lessons ..

however, he was bright enough to pass all his exams and land a place at university, and it wasn't until he started at university that he was finally diagnosed with dyslexia!

"My brother has dyslexia and is autistic not easy conditions to deal for both him and those around him at times i get what your saying about being shown rather than being told ive seen that my brother cannot pick things up through instructions but doesnt have any issues when you show him

Indeed. I've struggled with explaining to employers that yes, it can take longer for me to learn a new job, but once I've hit a certain standard I stay there and don't cut corners.

"So how is technology helping with your online communication.

Writing by hand is difficult.

Are you not finding things easier with technology. As i have found my personal miss-spelling has vastly improved with my auto/predictive text.

Even the word Dyslexia or Dyslexic (which in itself is difficult to spell) comes out the same.

Why not switch your predictive text on and let it help you?

There are quite a few of us on here with ASD and you'd be surprised how easy it is at swinging or fetish clubs. Somehow, I don't feel as socially awkward there as I do in a vanilla setting.

Vanilla setting ??????? Wots that ????

The swinging term Vanilla is used to describe people that don't swing or places (so settings) that aren't swinging related and essentially "normal" like bowling for example

So y call normall vanilla Cos vanilla is a flaver ????

And wots rong with bowling as it wood be a good soshall meet up spot ?????"

Yes vanilla is a flavour a stereotypical plain boring one hence its use

It's the same as single bisexual ladies are called "unicorns" because they are rare to find and many believe they don't exist

And yes bowling would be fine for a social but it still not specifically related to swinging afterall you could do that on a normal date

Stereotypical means a general term that gets used to easily simplify or exaggerate something else. In this example it's the use of the term vanilla

If you don't understand a certain word why don't you use a dictionary/thesaurus app to find the definition or a simpler alternative? And a spell checker that actually works. Would these not make online conversations easier for you?

Dyslexia means that your brain does not recognise words as others do, and jumbles them up, so while the written word looks normal to the person with dyslexia, it just looks like mumbo jumbo to someone else. I have a few friends with this, One lass was also dyslexic with numbers, not just letters, I met her at a livery yard, and while she was having riding lessons, it seemed like each lesson was a first lesson as she couldn't remember what to do, so in the end her parents bought her a pony to learn on... that helped her in so many ways - years later, she went to university and became a vet. Another sufferer I know started fencing at school and became a five times Commonwealth medalist. They may have problems with writing etc, but with help, they can do anything, probably more so as they have more to overcome.

Aspergers is on the autism spectrum but affects the person in different ways.

The only question I have is I've noticed one or two othe people across the forum, not just on this thread, also saying they have dyslexia, but in most cases you'd hardly tell from their comments.

So I'm wondering are there different types of dyslexia that affect people differently, or is that some people have different tools to help them?

Do you know how hard it is to try and spell some words others would find easy? if he can't spell those "correctly" then the use of an online dictionary would be useless, it's not the fact that he can't use it but the understanding of HOW to use it. Dyslexia is not just a matter of not being able to read, write or spell, it's not even a learning disability as such, it is an actual brain processing problem.

OP is a truly inspirational bloke, he is trying to fit into a world where many do not understand. If he wants to try and meet people then that's great, but for others, to say are you emotionally able to meet for possibly what might be one off sex... I say to that person, who are you to judge?

I was wondering the same thing but Clem beat me to it. It's not a judgement at all. OP has aspergers which affects social interactions, so it's quite an obvious question to ask would that affect you meeting people from here and how would you cope.

You can't start an awareness raising thread like this then accuse anyone asking relevant questions of being judgemental.

He's 11. He just moved house around 6 months ago plus started a new school last month so he's had quite a lot to deal with in terms of meeting new people and leaving friends behind. His mum is amazing with him but he's really struggled.

As a 'sufferer' I take rejection quite well. And I can find it hard to open up to people and also feel fairly indifferent towards people I should normally feel attached to. Eg family

"Have you met anyone for casual sex before?

Not shor this has anything to do weth the subject but no.

And b4 you arsk aney at all that's a no to.

DONT EVEN THINK OF A PIS TAKE !

Do you think you're emotionally strong enough to meet someone for sex then never see them again?

Yes I do. Or I woodount be on hear. But im hopeing to make sum frends and find somwon lockall to me for reglour meets.

I hope you're right.

I wondered that too. My friends son has aspergers and very quickly forms attachments to people

And how old is your friend's son?

The reason I asked is that although asking about the problems with emotional attachment is reasonable, it's worth bearing in mind that an 11 year old with Asperger's isn't the same as a 28 year old with Asperger's

"Male or female it's a risk I wouldn't take. Especially after the thread where he compared swinging and dating. I'm not entirely convinced he really can separate the two."
but there are a lot of people on here who cant tell the difference, become stalkers or bunny boilers, read things in to situations and to my knowledge dont have aspergers

Which I think is why the question was asked? I know it could guess how my friends son would react in that situation but I don't know if it affects OP the same. Isn't that the whole point of the thread?

Interesting that people think someone with Asperger's Syndrome is 'suffering'. It's just different. My son has Aspegers and he says he feels sorry for me because I can't do differential calculus (or whatever it bloody is) in my head.

It was a valid question...if he doesn't know what a word means copy and paste it to a dictionary or thesaurus to find out. I don't think it's unreasonable to think that's within his comprehension.

Other posters have stated that they have dyslexia and/or Aspergers yet you would never know from their comments - the OP misspells virtually every word, and differently each time too.

He can't raise the subject and expect people not to ask why he doesn't try to improve his communications - as other sufferers very obviously can and do.

And I haven't judged his emotional capabilities, nor can I see that the person asking those questions has either. I thought they were valid points.

The people I have met with Asoergers had almost note almost all have had very extensive, formal and adult vocabulary with spelling to match. It's a phenomenon I've never seen before - constant phonetic and variable spelling.

I'm not talking about writing by hand...I meant taking the time to check every word before replying or sending an initial message. And with all due respect, I can't imagine that as alto spell doesn't seem to be working great.

Yes it is the point. My wife and I discuss emotional attachment frequently. But I'm somewhat sensitive to people relating the experiences and behaviour of a child with an ASD to an adult with an ASD. It's something I come across a lot and it's not always good. If I've read something into your question that isn't there, my bad.

Oh get a grip! I suffer with heart failure, it doesn't mean I'm constantly in pain or about to drop dead, it simply means I have a condition. Wind down the sensitivity.

No problem at all, I guess I was wondering if certain symptoms would span from childhood into adulthood, or indeed if OP had the same symptoms, and if so how he would cope

somewhere only i know!

"Dyslexia means that your brain does not recognise words as others do, and jumbles them up, so while the written word looks normal to the person with dyslexia, it just looks like mumbo jumbo to someone else. I have a few friends with this, One lass was also dyslexic with numbers, not just letters, I met her at a livery yard, and while she was having riding lessons, it seemed like each lesson was a first lesson as she couldn't remember what to do, so in the end her parents bought her a pony to learn on... that helped her in so many ways - years later, she went to university and became a vet. Another sufferer I know started fencing at school and became a five times Commonwealth medalist. They may have problems with writing etc, but with help, they can do anything, probably more so as they have more to overcome.

Aspergers is on the autism spectrum but affects the person in different ways. "

Dyslexia is the jumbling or words and dispraxia is the jumbling of numbers both of which are on the very broad ASD Spectrum along with Aspergers, ADHD and many other social communication issues. Being a mother with a teenager with Aspergers I clap my hands and take my hat off to you OP for raising the subject and also for stepping out of your comfort zone to highlight it to others and understand the daily challenges you are faced with and if you want to practice opening messages feel free to flutter into my inbox as I'm more than happy to help anyone who faces daily challenges like this and know just how important it is that the world and others understand the challenges you face, yes I've been tempted over the years to have a paddy in a supermarket just like the advert when people don't understand just what you're going through!

"This is a genuine question to you and other posters on this thread, not me being an arsehole:

I'm so pleased this thread is as popular as it is - Well done the OP and other posters.

Our daughter is dyslexic, despite us keep raising concerns she wasn't tested until she was well into senior school. Then it was only because we kept on and on, after hearing the same old comments at parents evenings.

I'm so annoyed that it took so long for people to listen and that so many teachers didn't pick up on it themselves. Quite a few basically accused her of being lazy and stupid.

She is still learning coping methods/ways that work for her.

She will now get extra time and a reader/ scribe in her GCSEs.

She took one less option, so that she gets extra time/lessons to work on her other subjects.

Because he's dyslexic and is on the spectrum?

From the messages I receive, I'd say a lot of people have dyslexia on here. There seems to be a fair few with ASD and ADHD too. Admittedly, the OP will have challenges with communication and social interaction, but don't see really why it would affect his sex life. In fact, I can think of quite a few scenarios where communication doesn't even come into it.

Aspergers is on the autism spectrum but affects the person in different ways.

Dyscalclus is numbers

Dyspraxia is more to do with coordination.

Dyslexica, dyscalclus and dyspraxia are all on the autistic spectrum... I have them all and have taught children for many years with special needs.

No two people are the same or have exactly the same issues some find ways to cope and get around their own problems.

Well I think the OP is alright. Apart from the fact I am a sycophant here's why;

1. He posts on the forums; he isn't letting his dyslexia limit him

2. He usually frames his questions in a polite fashion and yes I admit it can be a challenge reading them but 9/10 I get where his perspective lies and I get that he likes to ask questions; we don't have to answer.. we make that choice not him.

3. He is rocking the Tom selleck look and has never asked someone to appraise it; yet they have. Rock whatever look you like I say; if you feel good/confident about it... own it.

4. He sometimes gets a little testy when being battered a bit; but he quickly finds equilibrium again, he doesn't go UNLOS, Hidden or block a ton (not sure on the last one but don't think he is the blocking kind)

5. Forums need all sorts of peeps, he isn't cookie cutter, he's doing HIS thing, not going to knock that.

6. He gets some flak about whether he should be on a swinging site. Fuck that shit. Be where you want, gurus and sultans are usually the unhappiest (I'm dead inside).

So on the measure of it, the OP is another facet of a diverse forum and if we want to be more inclusive and have greater diversity we should say "pull up a pew, do what you do, bring your own kevla")

"Dyslexia is the jumbling or words and dyspraxia is the jumbling of numbers "

Actually dyspraxia has nothing to do with numbers.

C&P from Dyspraxia website

What is dyspraxia?

Dyspraxia, a form of developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is a common disorder affecting fine and/or gross motor coordination in children and adults. It may also affect speech. DCD is a lifelong condition, formally recognised by international organisations including the World Health Organisation.

Not to put the cat among the pigeons but I have said on many occasions and several times on the thread I have dyslexic, dyscalclus and dyspraxia but not once has the op referred to my comments.

I know I have not used large words so their could be a possibility of a miss understanding.

I have also noticed that some posts by the op are well spelt and grammaticaly correct but all post are grammaticaly correct which is hard if you have dyslexica.

If you do use your predicted text it will help it's what I do.

I also went back to adult learning to help with my spelling.

Both of my children have learning issues both have dyslexica.

We have battles with homework everyday but I sit and explain things in a clear way.

It's normally on the phone and you'd have to turn it off however it will add the words you use and then spell them the way you do as you have used them often.
