Top 5 - Dyslexia

Top 5 most difficult things to deal with when you're Dyslexic...
  1. Asking someone how to spell something. Below is an example of how that converstation usually goes:
Me: Hey how do you spell annihilate?
Friend: You seriously don't know how to spell that...?
What I usually say: Haha uh, no just kidding! I got it!
What I want to say: NO I'M NOT FREAKING KIDDING YOU JERK.

     2.  Getting asked to read something out loud in class. Here's a note to all the teachers out there, don't ask a kid to read out loud if he didn't raise his hand to do so. Thank you.

     3. Autocorrect.

     4. Word Problems in math. Because no matter how many times you reread it, it will never make sense.

     5. The ever so popular, "Dyslexic moment". Usually pulled by someone who is not Dyslexic. You all know what I'm talking about. Those moments when you miss spell an easy word and say, "Haha oops, I just had a Dyslexic moment!" Stop. Just stop saying that. Not only is it annoying, but it is also wrong.
