Are you dyslexic?	Yup
Any Comments or suggestions for my site?	Hey all! Great site! Join me in defending people who are dyslexic from the people who think that we are not capable of doing anything for ourselves! People believe that dyslexic means that there is something wrong with us but the greatest minds were dyslexic - albert enstein being one of them. Scientists believe that dyslexic people are the new form of humans - since they see things differently from everyone else! I proved to my new class that I was just as smart as any of them by showing them what I was capable of before telling them I was dyslexic! For that I am now respected and treated like the way I should be treated - like me! Cya! Keep up the good work! Emz

Any Comments or suggestions for my site?	Hiya! - people may describe dyslexia as being horrible etc etc! well having dyslexia is not horrible i found i had dyslexia at the age of eight! yea i was scared and thought i was dumb at the time, I couldn't hardly read and write until i was like ten! But through having a tutor it has made me a lot more confident. And now i believe in myself, and i know i can do it, it is my GCSES next year and i was so glad of the grades i was predicted. I felt so happy with my self for coming so far from not being able 2 read to people not even noticing now that i am dyslexic they can't get over that i am when my mum tells them at parents evening! I used to have them coloured glasses - mine were rose colour, and having them really helped me read better. Anyway Barney hope u do well in ya GCSES and every thing goes well for the future. Lots of love! Jess xxx

Any Comments or suggestions for my site?	great site, been showing my wife it. she has been told she is dyslexic by the local college. she is 36, well better late than never. now all it is to build up her confidence. the lad that is having bulling problems. look for famous dyslexics. zoe wannamaker, Walt Disney, Michael Faraday, Jamie Oliver, to name a few. ask you teacher to do a morning on what dyslexic is. a game i've used in the past to show non dyslexic about it is change letters in words e.g deb, qrobuct. and get them to read word its meant to be out loud just after seeing it. it can be fun to see them stumble on words like us. it changes some comments they make.

Are you dyslexic?	Yes
Any Comments or suggestions for my site?	Your web site is really good down to earth. Although I never found out until last year I was dyslexic I always knew I was different from some of my peers at school. Some times I relied on fellow students to help me to understand what the teacher had just taught. some classes were easier that way but after 2nd year you get moved..........

Any Comments or suggestions for my site?	I think your site is great, keep up the good work! If only there was a way for your site to highlight these problems to teachers - many teachers said Eleanor had behavioural problems and did not recognise the classic signs of Dyslexia and Dyspraxia.

Are you dyslexic?	No, but my brother is.
Any Comments or suggestions for my site?	I think this is a really good site. My brother is dyslexic and the stuff on here can really help him. He gets his numbers mixed up and letters like "b" and "d" that wrong way round. This will give him the confidence to try harder at dealing with it. Thank you.

Are you dyslexic?	YES!
Any Comments or suggestions for my site?	I will definitely visit this site again. If you get told to read out in class and you don't want to, then just leave the class. Thats what i did and the teacher said i don't have to read in class if i don't want to.

Any Comments or suggestions for my site?	Yes,It is really important to look at your strenghs and develop your interests. I also think all people who are dyslexic should access computers and learn to touch type.

Are you dyslexic?	no - but I work with dyslexic children
Any Comments or suggestions for my site?	Your website is excellent, it is good for dyslexic students to know what the can do for themselves. I have a couple of points I would like to make. 8 year old Liam from Cheshire - It is VERY important that you speak to a teacher that you trust about being bullied. That must stop right away. Remember that Einstein was dyslexic and he certainly wasnt dumb! Hugh Jones from Hull - the reference for the poem is - AN OWED TO THE SPELL CHEQUER (CANDIDATE FOR A PULLET SURPRISE) by Dr Jerrold H. Zar of Northern Illinois University The Journal of Irreproducible Results Keep up the good work!
