Dyslexia Q&A: The Dark Side of Dyslexia

Disorientation and Visual Confusion
When my clients arrive with visual sensory disorientations it can be a result of life stress. Or simply that they are naturally strong visual learners in a world of words where confusion causes these symptoms.

There is Hope
I talk to a lot of tearful moms. Sometimes on the phone, sometimes in person. And sometimes they find my booth at a conference. As they share the struggles that their child has been facing, empathy fills my heart because I was there, too.
Hello!! Certainly, the struggles and potentially demanding challenges of being dyslexic, can negatively impact nearly all aspects of a dyslexic person’s Quality-of-Life (Q-of-A), unfortunately! To this day,
potentially endless career paths and styles, are so historically ever-changing, highly dynamic, ever-evolving and tantalizing! That actuality automatically presents unfair disadvantages to dyslexic people, who may not be detail-oriented, due to their major struggles and inabilities to process information, in my view.
Such challenges of attempting to process advanced, detailed information can unfairly act as automatic, major barriers to significantly better employment opportunities for dyslexic people. That certainly pertains to dyslexics who are vying for much more profitable employment, and even great lifelong personal investing opportunities!
With that expressed, I firmly believe that it is extremely important for people, including dyslexics, to become financially-literate, to understand personal finance! That way, they can qualify for great(er) personal investing opportunities. Indeed yet sadly, without being financially-literate, that can overly diminish the Quality-of-Life (Q-of-A) of dyslexic people.
Another related and all-Important topic to which I would be honored to allude to, is to attempt to encourage dyslexic people, as well as others’, to understand how to become financially-independent! Such a worthy endeavor can be achievable, when people understand how to establish and own multiple sources and streams of “Passive Income”. That may be possible by understanding personal finance effectively! It can be achievable by dyslexic people, as well, in my view!
Would you Folks’ and Fellow Participants, agree with that logic, I hope and wonder?!
Thank you, Carl and our Fellow Participants’, in Advance, for checking that basic analysis of mine.
Sincerely,
Amer.
Hello Amer
Thank you for your comments. Your comments are interesting and I feel if we were talking in person we could discuss them for hours. Unfortunately this format does not allow me to answer them, so thank you once again. I would add that I think that if you are dyslexic yourself doing a Davis program would help to answer many of these question for you. Regards Carl Nigi
Hello, Carl. Please pardon me for my delayed response to yourself, Carl. Carl, I thank you very much for so respectfully praising of how well my vision and admiration of the ever-growing nature, and timeless relevancy of dyslexia is reflected, by how I express my concerns and passion for that prevalent learning difference, through my aforementioned comments! Carl, I’m profoundly moved and honored by how you respectfully feel and articulate that “You and I could engage in a discussion and even a discourse about dyslexia, for hours.”, Carl!!
Also, Carl, thank you for suggesting to me, that it may perhaps be feasible to experience a Davis Dyslexia Program.
Wirh Respect and
Reaards,
Amer
Your welcome, Carl
Hello, Carl! I’m wondering, Carl, about a following question(s)/concern(s):
As a dyslexic, I wonder, what does the process of participating in or doing a Davis Dyslexia Program, involve??
Thank you in Advance, Carl.
Amer
Hi Amer, if you want to know more about doing a Davis program the best thing to do is contact the nearest facilitator to you. To do that go to the main Davis page (www.dyslexia.com) and look for ‘find help-find a provider’. Carl
Amir,
I wholeheartedly agree with your analysis/write-up. You are able to express yourself quite well. For people with dyslexia trying to understand financial investing opportunities, there are resources available that provide “pre-digested” financial information and ratings that can be easily used by non-financial people to evaluate and invest in stocks. One such resource is “seeking alpha”. It provides comprehensive information that anyone can use with a little homework to invest successfully. You can try it out for free. Hope this helps!

Mr. Tahir Sir, I cannot thank you enough for honorably praising me about how I touch upon potential financial, investing and career-related opportunities and possibilities which dyslexic people can be unfairly deprived of, due to their cognitive struggles to process and understand (especially advanced) information!
Thank you, Sir.
With Respect.

Hello, Folks! An exceptionally awe-inspiring process of how 3 particular parts of the brain are biologically synchronized, to allow a person to read a piece of given digitally- produced or written content, include, in the following sequence and order:
1) the Phoneme Producer
2) Word Analyzer
and
3) the Automatic Detector.
Of that aforementioned Concise list, such a miraculous and actual process of human reading: starts with the “Phoneme Producer”. At the beginning of this process of reading, the “Phoneme Producer” allows the person to Vocalize a word. A Phoneme is the smallest and shortest Sound of a word.
Then Secondly, Once the word is Vocalized, the “Word Analyzer” does a more thorough analysis of that given “written” Word. In fact, the “Word Analyzer” cognitively separates a word into its constituent syllables! Isn’t that such a remarkably biological Analytic Process, Folks?!
From that stage, the 3rd part of the human brain, called ” the Automatic Detector”, comes into action and play! This wondrous part of the human brain actually automates the process of recognizing words! As a desired result, the more the “Automatic Detector” is used, the better it functions!
For skilled readers’, can you imagine how Advantageous a role that “the Automatic Detector” plays, for them, in reading even advanced written or printed content?!
indeed, as one can infer, the manner of how those 3 parts of the brain are highly synchronized, perhaps even at a cellular level, to allow people to read at all, is undeniably miraculous, folks!
Although, Unfortunately, for people who are dyslexic, they experience a “glitch or malfunction” in that foregoing and highly synchronized process!
With my limited understanding, I believe that a main reason for that very unfortunate “glitch or malfunction” in attempting to read, it may well be caused by genetic factors, in my view.
After all, with All Due Respect to Our Audience, as perhaps the most Common type of learning disability, Dyslexia is provenly genetic!
That revolutionary discovery, in itself, may provide deeper explanations and reasons of how and why genetics play such a pivotal and impactful role in the lives’ of dyslexic people!
Let us hope that our human race, around the world, will have access to ever-improving techniques, to significantly help millions of dyslexic people to overcome their dyslexia, on a global scale!
Sincerely,
Amer
