Types of Dyslexics – Combined Learning Differences (Part 2)
Are you sure you’re just dyslexic? Studies show that over 62% of dyslexics have a combination of different learning differences. Dyspraxia, the inattentive subtype of ADHD, ASD and ODD are among the most common differences combined with dyslexia. This video provides an overview and an unofficial screening, in which you might get a better idea of your own mix of learning differences. I go over signs and symptoms, as well as relevant questions specific to each condition.
