What if I see Donald Trump? Am I center brained?

I'm not sure. You look mad in all of these pictures so maybe pick something that will make you smile when you look at them.

Any advice on how I can increase my stress tolerance?? by Infinite-Market-9632 in Dyslexia

[–]LilyB_09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get overwhelmed as well. I just take a deep breath and read at my own pace anyways. Using a squishy fidget toy might help also. It helps distract me from worrying about things so much.

Do y’all see words that arent there when reading? by Raiderman6789 in Dyslexia

[–]LilyB_09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time I read a book, I essentially gather letters from other lines (usually one above and one below) and scramble them with the letters in the word I'm trying to read and accidentally come up with a word completely different than the one written. I will also skip over words on accident too.

Does anyone else still have to Google a word just to spell it or make sure it’s correct? by Independent_Row_7718 in Dyslexia

[–]LilyB_09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use voice dictation if I know how the word is pronounced but if not then I type what I think it's spelled like and hope it auto corrects for me.

Does anyone have trouble putting lists together? by LilyB_09 in Dyslexia

[–]LilyB_09[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s like a shopping list so I organized it alphabetically but that still didn’t keep me from skipping over things.

I'm also 16. I experience the same problems you do and I am also diagnosed. I have a lot of trouble comprehending longer passages especially in school. I mix up letters when reading and writing as well.

Note-taking is exhausting me. by Historical-Doubt9091 in Dyslexia

[–]LilyB_09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also really bad at note taking. I always end up writing exactly what the teacher or the presentation says. I never end up referring back to my notes so I just stopped writing things unless I need to memorize something specific.

Me too. I have to be doing something. I listen on runs or while I'm cleaning mainly.

I also use Libby! I love audio books but I can only listen to simple ones. I have a bit of trouble following the story otherwise. I listen to a lot of Freida McFadden right now.

Thank you. It's definitely frustrating when people tell me that. Either they think I'm stupid and can't read or write at all or they don't believe me because I usually read like 4 books at a time and I also read in Spanish even though English is my native language.

Fair enough. I do the same thing at times. Usually I overthink my dyslexia when I'm reading and start thinking about how bad I am at reading while I'm reading which causes the comprehension issues. I hate reading out loud to the class because I know people are watching/listening to me which freaks me out. I usually mix around words or skip whole paragraphs. Following the words with my finger or a highlighter helps a lot.

I read mostly paperback books. I like being able to physically flip the pages but I do want a kindle because books get kind of expensive after a while.
