J’ai eu mon premier mauvais commentaire après avoir posté seulement 2 publications sur Lin. Il y a quelques semaines, j’ai fait un post pour présenter mes cartes de visites que je venais de recevoir. J’ai eu la mauvaise surprise en répondant aux commentaires de tomber sur l’un d’entre eux qui n’était pas très gentil. Ce commentaire soulignait des fautes d’orthographe que j’ai oublié de corriger, jusque-là, rien de grave. Mais le point le plus dérangeant est qu’il remettait en cause ma légitimité à être dans la communication. Je n’ai pas trouvé ça cool. Je pense que c’est déjà arrivé à tout le monde de faire des fautes d’orthographe. Ce que je n’ai pas apprécié c’est le fait d’avoir pointé du doigt cette faute en public. Un message privé aurait été plus juste à mon goût, car je vous l’accorde, ce n’est pas très professionnel de faire des fautes. Personnellement, il me serait jamais venu à l’esprit de me moquer de quelqu’un, surtout si en plus je ne la connais pas ! Le fait est que je suis dyslexique. Je fais tout ce qui est possible pour contrer ce problème. J’utilise des outils pour me corriger, je prends des cours pour m’améliorer. Mais il m’arrive quand même de faire des fautes. C’est plus fort que moi. Je sais que d’autres personnes reçoivent tous les jours des mauvais commentaires. Je demande alors aux personnes qui se permettent de les rédiger de se demander s’il est bien de cliquer sur le bouton “publier”. ✔️ On ne sait jamais sur qui on peut tomber. Les mots ont un énorme pouvoir, ils peuvent faire énormément de mal alors il ne faut pas les prendre à la légère

My therapist made me do this thing where I list things that I like and dislike about my disabilities and I’m pro normalization of neurodivergent traits so I felt like posting this

Dyslexia is like hallucinating with words. one second your reading about how friendship is good for the soul then the next your reading the word Beetlejuice three times and he appears to be your friend cause you don't have friends that will talk to you in quarantine cause they're "always busy" But guess what! He's a demon and doesn't need to care about social distancing plus has all the time in the world! He can help you with that painting for your mom and the math test you need to do by Saturday.

Not to lessen any serious post out there but I want you all to know that with my dyslexia every time someone writes bipoc I always without fail initially read it as biopic and I’m stuck rereading the same post maybe three or 27 times trying to figure out what the name of this new biopic is and when it’s gonna come out cuz most of them sounded like they woulda slapped

Dysgraphia fact/tip of the day #3

People with dysgraphia (and dyslexia) are more likely to have a smaller parieto-temporal (word analysis) and occipito-temporal (word form). However, The brocas area is actually enlarged! Meaning despite having problems with written words we're more likely to be more eloquent when speaking!

Tl;Dr people with dyslexia/dysgraphia aren't dumb, we're actually better at speaking then other people

When writing dyslexia characters please remember IT

IS

A

SPECTRUM

1 in 10 people have Dyslexia. Most of those cases are caught in early years so receive help. Most dyslexics can read we just struggle to (the word literally means difficulty reading which last I checked doesn't automatically equate to illiteracy). Unless they have severe dyslexia which is in itself uncommon, they can read by the last year of secondary school.

Last I checked there was also no cure for dyslexia because it is a condition that occurs because of how your brain processes written information. There are ways of coping but, even if you can read, it stays with you for life.

Maybe you skip a line or reread the same line, maybe you forget how to spell basic words, maybe you mistake rhyming words for each other, maybe the order of words and letters gets rearranged as you process it, maybe the characters all got crammed together as you were reading, perhaps you just get the characters confused I know I do.

I do all these things but I can read, I can write, I can function.

Dyslexia is a spectrum

Remember this when writing, don't just write the extremes
