Dyslexia is a lifelong condition which cannot be completely destroyed. However with the right guidance and tools you can overcome some of the difficulties that accompany it so that you can live a better life. What many people ignore is that although dyslexia can have a debilitating effect on a person there are certain advantages that accompany it. For instance dyslexics are intuitively creative and they have a unique sense of their environment. They are capable of multi lateral thinking and can come up with many solutions to a problem instead of finding the one right answer. Such abilities are of great use in today's industries.
However the greatest problem with Dyslexics is that their weaknesses and strengths tend to cancel out each other, thus making them look average. If you are a dyslexic then you will want to develop coping strategies which can help you overcome your weaknesses. Typical problems that dyslexics face are:
a. Inability to organize themselves properly.
b. Poor sense of time.
c. Poor sense of direction.
d. Inability to concentrate.
e. Forgets quickly; has problems with short term memory
f. Inability to carry out sequential tasks, this translates into difficulties in doing math and carrying out simple instructions.
g. Is incapable of or has difficulty reading or understanding language.
h. Highly distracted.
i. Poor social life.
Now no two dyslexics will have the same symptoms and neither will a dyslexic have all of them. This is exactly why it is absolutely essential that a person be diagnosed first. You should also know that there are many Learning Disabilities which have symptoms similar to dyslexia and are often confused with it; such as Attention Deficit Disorder, Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia, Dyspraxia etc. Each of these has treatment specific to them which is why you must make sure that you have dyslexia. If you are diagnosed with dyslexia, you will need to approach a trained psychologist for help with your particular case.
Most people afflicted with dyslexia develop coping strategies with psychological intervention and go on to live a happy and fulfilled life. As stated earlier you only need to embrace your strengths while selectively doing away with your weaknesses. As this is accomplished you will realize how unique and invaluable you really are!
Dealing with dyslexia as an adult can be a harrowing experience.You need not go on living in fear of rejection and denial. Dyslexia is a gift which once exploited will alow you to live your life better and more confidently.
