Living with dyslexia the general symptoms

As i said in my introduction that i have dyspraxia and dyslexia but i have to live with it this can be different and it effects people in different ways it also runs in my family my dad had dyslexia and i do not know if he also had dyspraxia but for me i have to live with both of these i was bullied at school because i was different and thought differently.

i'm going to explain the symptoms of  dyslexia first so you know how it effects me in my day to day life. As some of you know with dyslexia the aspects  change from day to day. i first released i had dyslexia at around the age of 10-12 years so back in 2002 time maybe a year earlier.

the general symptoms that i suffer from is that i am intelligent and bright how ever i find it hard to read and write at a grade level this means that i will find it hard to read lots of text so you will properly notice that there are some spelling mistakes although i have intact spelled check this blog post i am writing about.

as i said above that in school i was bullied by most of the people i had my year group, they labelled me as dumb and lazy and i went to two school before i did my GCSEs and the first school on all my reports said "not trying hard enough in class" then i went to my second school that understood dyslexia and i remember coming home from the first day of the new school and saying "mum i am not the dumbest in the class" that is because other people had dyslexia as well i would recommend this school to any one they have really helped me and although i got bullied at this school the deputy head who is now the head master said "you can do what ever you want with your life" i use them words a lot that got me thought college and thought university.

with the bulling from members of my own family as well,not just in school i did not have much self esteem and always thought i was worthless so if you have dyslexia then pedants have be careful how they talk to there kid and keep an eye out on this.

the good side of dyslexia is that they tend to be talented either with art or music drama ect i technically minded so my talent lands with in theatre although i can not play a musical instrument or read music i can do music production really well and have fought my self over the last eight years.

at school i was always day dreaming or looking at the window into space almost like zoning out of the world and going into my own little universe. 

these are just a few of the general symptoms tomorrow i am going to write about the maths and time management of dyslexia and then move onto the other side and talk about dyspraxia this will be around a week and as someone living with dyslexia for the last 11 years i will pull on stuff from my past that will help you so you can read how i dealt with the bullying.
