from post ive been seeing from you, it doesn't look like you have it :s

Actually, spelling and grammar isn't a major problem. It's how you write mainly. My brother has dyslexia and he is incredibly smart and very good at English. His problem is with writing and his spelling is average.

I always find it funny when people who are really quite stupid and slow and they use the excuse 'Its because i'm Dyslexic'.

i always thought most dyslexic people could get all the letters in a word right when spelling, but they'd get the letters in the wrong order if you get me. so they'd spell words like "liek" (like) "griaffe" (giraffe) "muose" (mouse) etc.

I think dyslexia is mixing words and letters up (e.g. What does DNA stand for? The National Dyslexic Association) whereas learning difficulties is called dyspraxia (sp?). One of my friends at school has dyspraxia and it makes his clumsy as well as hindering his learning.

you are both correct its when you mix letters up when writing, thats why they cant write letters

Oh the irony in the thread title haha.

Also I don't believe in dyslexia as a proper disorder, it's just an excuse. Dyspraxia is different as it's an actual physical disability (has no effect on learning though, usually just means handwriting is a nightmare to read).

Dyslexics tend to have bigger brains then usual. They also tend to be a little more smart then your average person. Einstein was dyslexic.
