I have been diagnose with dyslexia and i assume some people on fab may suffer the same condition.

But im starting to get annoyed with some people who think, i or we are not able to write good grammer and considered as unintelligent.

Dyslexia is a learning disability and i wondered have any of fab members expereince the same issues.

Poole, but up in lincs for a bit

I suffer from it with numbers. I have to get people to put their numbers in my phone or copy paste. My brain thinks what I'm typing is correct but it isn't. It's terrible when I'm on the phone and get told, oh take this number down and ring them cause I usually end up talking to someone completely different and looking like a complete tit

Dyscalculia. I get that too. Luckily, I have very little to do with finances.

People who write lots (like me) can often spot the difference between a dyslexic person and one who is grammatically inept. It’s to do with patterns and the way they write. Orlando Bloom is dyslexic.

people take spelling etc too much to heart these days.

ok, i do not use text speak and sometimes even i cannot understand that.

not writing a book ffs just typing and im sure the speed people type at means sometimes mistakes happen.

Believe me if you know someone who is really dyslexic you know when someone is jumping on the bandwagon to try and pass off bad schooling as dyslexia. Real dyslexics use larger words they are literate and express themselves well its just the letters within the words are not always in the right order or all there.

Dyslexia isn't a learning disability it's a learning difficulty. For a disability your IQ must be under 74.

It alsonaffects people in different ways. Therefore the OP being able to use grammar correctly but not spell is his dyslexia.

Mine is spelling and grammar. Therefore meaning my grammar is affected by MY dyslexia.

It's very subjective and I get annoyed when people presume that all dyslexic are affected the same.

It's an umbrella term used for a variety of different presentations.

Spell checkers only work if the spelling is only slightly off. Someone with moderate to severe dyslexia can be too far off with their spelling for a spell checker to sort. Though the ones I know use one automatically in documents and browser add-ons to help with a lot.

Dyslexia isn't a learning disabilitie. Most dislexics myself included have no problem learning anything in fact they normally excell in most things other than spelling or reading. It also can be improved on. I'm the classic example of that. When I left school I could just about spell my name but back then there was no understanding of it so I was labelled thick or just plain stupid. Now I do ok and most ppl struggle to spot it till I point it out but that took a massive effort on my part and I've now done all I can to put my situation right. I still have no clue where punctuation marks or any of the rest of that kinda crap should go but I know I can easily be understood with a hell of a lot less effort than it takes for me to write anything in the 1st place so in all honesty I really don't see it as my problem anymore. If anyone want to challenge me over my spelling be it on here or anywhere else they better be of a higher intelligence than me as I'll rip them to bits no matter who they are or who they are trying to impress. They will lose in what ever way they choose to take me on.

I'm not sure that dyslexia would affect grammar, to my mind it specifically relates to spelling/reading. Of course it's a crude label applied to some symptoms and it would appear that there are at least 2 separate mechanisms at work; one is eye tracking and certainly relates to reading and thus possibly spelling (a friend claimed to have this version) and I have trouble parsing speech and I do have some very eccentric spelling and needed remedial teaching to allow me to read. I'm not aware that dyslexia has been connected with grammar but wouldn't be entirely surprised to learn that grammar were something that is susceptible to disruption by some kind of mental/physical 'shortcoming' Personally I'd give that a different label and intimately would want it to be categorised by cause rather than effect but then I'm both a literalist and a pedant and a material-reductionist. I haved dyscalculia too, no idea what mechanism underlies that. Mind you the list of things my brain won't do grows each time another mental shortcoming is catalogued :D

I'm quite sure we're judged on spelling and grammar but also looks, accent, skin colour, gender etc etc. The day people stop making snap judgements about other people is the day they've stopped being human.

a quandary, could you change my mind?

Dyslexic here, my spelling can be absolutely ridiculous at times, even spell the same word incorrectly in a different way. Am I stupid no but I can be a little daft in the correct company, do I class myself as disabled absolutely not, if people have a problem with my spelling and grammar via posts on here so be it, they don't know me, not sure I would want to meet a person who would be correcting my spelling.

I'm dyslexic and fly into a rage when people try to pass off lazy writing by saying 'oh maybe the OP is dyslexic'. The difference is blindingly obvious and dyslexia doesn't make you use fucking text speak. It annoys the fuck out of me that people mistakes chavs for dyslexia.

Yup, there are some words that I can't make the machine recognise. Needless to say I can't think of an example but from time to time I'm forced into porting in an approximation that I'm pretty sure is wrong because the machine won't offer the word in looking for. These days though many of my errors are poor proofreading (which is of course also affected by dyslexia) coupled with a crappy virtual keyboard :D

Then one gets told to look it up in a dictionary. So many times. ... but if you can't get the first few letters right how is that supposed to work? lol

I have Dyslexia and Dyscalculia. When I was at school I was constantly bottom of the class academically, but practical hands on I achieved top marks.

People use to treat you as "dumb", but I have always been sharp as a razor and with speaking I can tie people up in knots.

Personally, I have never been a member of the spelling, or grammar police when it comes to posts on here, messages or texts but it does annoy me slightly when I see "professional" messages that are misspelt. Posters, newspaper articles, even blackboards outside pubs. This is just laziness of the writer not checking it on either a spellcheck or with somebody else!

I'm not sure this is true. There seem to be at least 2 forms of dyslexia and varying degrees of disability so a personal observation probably is too subject to be accurate (no matter how much we might like to think otherwise).

Certainly some dyslexics like exotic or indeed esoteric words but I'm not aware of any evidence that dyslexia predisposes a person to using fancy words. I suspect that it's unconnected with vocabulary or grammar and that the vocabulary of dyslexics follows the usual distribution of the general population.

I'm am intrigued by the dysgrammar (if you'll forgive the neologism) phenomenon (now there's a word I'd not have got right in my own!), it's not something I'm aware of any studies on.

Or it's somebody hideing the fact they are dislexic. I've worked for the same company for over 20 years and to this day only 1 person knows how much I struggle. And he only knows because I noticed he was the same as me. If you know the tell tail signs it's easy to spot. But beware if it's somebody older like myself they will think differently to somebody who's younger who suffers like this. To me I find it embarrassing when it's pointed out. It brings back all them years of constantly being ridiculed over it in my case dayey if not hourly at school and therefore will prove who's thick and who isn't. Anyone younger probably won't care as that behaver from any teacher will be classed as child abuse.

Like you said you are not sure I have no issues I am 100% sure they do. Larger words are fare easier to correct with a spell checker for one also someone who has dyslexia isn't stupid they just have issues with letter recognition they often can express themselves far better that most people as to survive with dyslexia you have to use workarounds in this day and age. Dyslexics are usually very articulate with the spoken word and spoken grammar many non dyslexics seem to assume if they can't spell a word they can't use it which is pharisaical when you think about it.

Not sure if you use it to read things but try using the dyslexie font, every letter is uniquely shaped, eliminating the common reading errors of dyslexia and it does help.

Constantly. In life, work and Fab. Found out I was on the spectrum when I was 42.

Constantly remind people the reasons why 1. I take longer to read emails. 2. Take longer to write emails. 3. Why my written documentation is unreadable.

Sorry, that sounded rather more judgemental than I intended, I should have said it sounds like a hypothesis, as for all I know you do gave excellent data. I ask as I want to know if I'm wrong but I do like a good study, personal experience counts for little in the scientific world. Mostly because it lacks enough samples or there's some kind of bias in the sampling to be meaningful even if it's correct.

when I was young, we weren’t dyslexic we were stupid or unattentive.

Interestingly the army’s BATCO system (long gone if your number starts 25 you won’t have a scooby) had a slide on it, to help you read a line of code, perfect for letter bounce!

Personally I don't mind what it's described as. I can't hear what someone's saying in a noisy environment in a way that most people can (which is, I suspect, connected to my dyslexia) and that's very much a loss-of -function or disability and not to the standard issue which to my mind indicates that something somewhere is wrong, different but also wrong.

I raised a dyslexic child and she had a poster on her wall which was like a giant hexagon with lots of coloured triangles inside it (from the local Dyslexia Society) and it said "Dyslexia Is A Unique Learning Ability". It's purpose was to remind people that the brain is wired differently and although some things will be really hard for the person other things they will be really really good at as a result (pattern recognition and logic is typically something they are very good at hence the patterns and coloured triangles on the poster).
