Recently I've been wondering, whats the diffrence between Mildly & Saiverly Dyslexic? (other than my inabilty to spell the later, I know it's spelt wrong,I just cannae find the right spelling. Spell checker dosenae work, unfortunetly)
The whole saiverity thing confuses me. I don't understand how somthing so complicated and unique to the indavidual can fit in to either mild, modarate and saiver.
I was wondering if anyone has a full understandation of the vairing saiverty of Dyslexia.
I think there are many degrees of dyslexia, for example I know of more than one person who suffers with it they had tests at school to find out, one can read books, newspapers all ok but cant spell, could not do a crossword to save their life, the other not only cant spell but reading is very slow and difficult as well, by the way both are very intelligent and found work that pays good money where their dyslexia is not a problem, also to add to the myth about Dyslexics they are both good at maths.

Netnut: Thanks,I have noticed diffrences amongst dyslexics.
My question comes from me looking up dyslexia on the internet reastly and finding people say tht they are mildly or moderate or Severely Dyslexic. My dyslexic report only states that my levels of diffulties with Litercy in comparsion with average/above average verbal abilties to answer asked question leads to the dignose of dyslexia.
Nothing about severity. So I was wondering how it work. Cause I can't seem to find the explenation.
Aye the maths thing bugs me too. I take a strong offenice when people sugest I have problems with numbers.
empiricist: Why on earth do you think this is a wind up?
I'm trying to find out more about dyslexia to give my self a greater understandation of my own. I've got to the point in life where I know my dyslexia well and know feel like I'm finealy ready to venture in to what is mild and what is sever.
I don't just want to know just for myselef BUT also I can help others.

...or it could be a well-constructed, poor taste, gag by a poster using an alternate name. You pays yer money, you takes yer choice.
Anonimouse: I don't think thats the nessarly the case.
May be some dyslexic find it easier to miss out vowels when they are writing, but I very much dought it would apply to many dyslexics.
Personaly I find it difficult to read text speach. Cause theirs no or little indecation to how many vowels have been misted out in a word. Have similar problem with trying to work out what abrvations stand for, i.e. FSA - Food Standards Agcency.
Typicaly most dyslexics have some degree of phononogical processing and phonemic decodeing problems.
Have been on their website a few times in the past and have had another quick look the day their websites wee bit better, than there magazine, Dyslexia Contanct (which is ovbusely not written for dyslexics to read.) Though Don't see anything about severitys on it!
Which I would like to know as I plan to work in the comminty helping people who struggle, to find ways around their difficulties. I belive If I have a rugh Ideas where I fit in on the scale. It will improve my understandtions of other peoples diffuilties.
I don't want to be the kind of proffesonal who acts taken a back by what there clients say, they struggle with. I know how it makes the person feel.

I geuss I could have given the last sentence a better ending in that comment. Cause I was talking about text processing problems.
Sorry I got carried away with copying the two words from my report as I'm aware that these are the two most common reading (& spelling)skills that dyslexics tend to struggle with.
This "Lazy and thick" thing is complete and utter rubbish. A lot of dyslexics have degree (Wither its an ordenarey Batchelours, Batchalors with hons, post grad, masters or in some cases PHDs)or/and sucessfuly bussiness people, envintors, scientits or athelets. Please note that the list doesn't stop with thoes.
That poster came across as a pain, so I put the automatic hide posts from that poster on. After they declined to answer the question I asked them. They don't come across as if they can be reasioned with.

You don’t want to do that, I never do that it doesn’t matter who you do or don’t like or agree with, it’s the mix of people on here that prevents it from becoming boring.
Plus people don’t answer to replies for all sorts of reasons, some watch the TV as they post on here and forget to come back, others have work or kids, some like me are about ready for bed.
Some dyslexics have problems with left and right differentiation, such that it is difficult for them to distinguish between b & d and p &q. This can lead to difficulties with ie & ei, ae & ea, ou & uo, etc. The type of dyslexia is probably severe. However diagnosing everyone with spelling difficulties as dyslexic can often lead to false positives. The English language is not a phonetic language, so many people have difficulties in spelling, but that does not necessarily mean they are dyslexic. If you have absolutely no problems reading text out loud, but can't spell to save your life, then you are not dyslexic. Moderate to sever dyslexics will have difficulties with reading and writing.
