When it came to textbooks, it felt like I was constantly reading in a language that I didn't understand, there were so many times, were I would have to reread pages, over and over again, just to understand the concept. When I would write, I would constantly misspell words over and over again, I wasn't doing it on purpose, I would write out the words, the way that they would sound, and when it comes to English, it doesn't work at all, trying to spell words that way. I was secretly relieved knowing that with typing, I could get out more, faster typing, versus when I would write by hand. Tho, it's ironic, because I loved journaling, writing by hand when it came to journaling, by other than that, I hated it.
Since I've listened to Podcasts and audiobooks, I didn't realize till now, of how much I actually suffered with Dyslexia, gathering information with audiobooks and Podcasts, is so much easier for me to process, compared to when I have to read books or textbooks.
I remember taking the CNA class, reading the textbook, and watching videos on YouTube, and even with the videos, I struggled so much, trying to retain the information, that I would spend hours upon hours, rereading the textbook, rewatching videos, and I still had trouble remembering it all, let alone, understand it. It didn't actually click till I was working as a CNA finally.
I'm probably going to write more about this later, but ya, those are my thoughts so far, on having Dyslexia
