This weekend I went on a retret with my Chruch and lernd something, welll i lernd alot but ilernd somtthing about me adn dyslexia. My friend pionted out to me this weekend that I get defensful or have a strong opinyen when it comes to dyslexia. Alow me to explane.
Were are sisteing at a table talking me and kids form my Church and ten some kids from another Church. So Maria ,a girl from the other church, is saying how she dosent like realy smart poeple like Enstine and stuff. So i meanched well Enstine mad a learning discibilet. Nath from my church shimes in and says, he had dyslexia. Maria then asked waht is dyslexia. Ceep in mind she is from Rusai and has likve here only 6 years. So instinctively istart saying stuff andf ofcoures stunbling over woreds so on of my frineds sayis it's a read dsability and another says epople with it have slow minds thay dont learn as quick. This is were me geting defensfuley comes in. I looked at one and said it dosnet have to only do with reading it goes into so mean more espects of life. I looked at the other adn we kinda got in to like this 30 second dabet like he siad dysleics learn slower adn i said thay lern i n adiffrent way.
Mind you this was kinda riskey only couse onelty one person tyher knows iahve dyslexia, but like it's werd couse thay never mencen it to me. Wich is wat saprised me is cosue we were tlak and i was like it is heard for some people to be my friend. I have strong opinyens about somethings, nad thay said like dyslexia. That throught me off yeah.
For me ihave strong oppinyens when peole dont know what thay are tlaking about. PEople who dont ahve dyslexia realy dont understadn it. YOu cn have a degra in it but you still dont fully understadn it. People who dont ahve dyslexia wright bookes aobut how a dyselxiac child fells. I always tihnk how in the world would you know. Why if you have a dagrey do you think you understnad dyselxia. Why do poeple who know little are like oh yeah i know all abuotit. It jsut messes me up when people say it JUST a readeing dasibilitey, ther poeple atre SLOW. COsue it's not jsut a reading disabilety and i am not slow.
