I think its not just my brain, ny whole body has dyslexia. Sure, if my brain is involved I can't decide between two options: left and right, east and west, ect. But things that bodies are supposed to do right intuitively, mine doesn't even without my brains involvement. E.g. when lying down I can do correct abdominal breathing intuitively, after lots and lots of practive. As soon as I stand "abdominal breathing" means my belly goes out when I breath out and vice versa. Or do you think my arms intuitively swing the right way when walking? No, the right arm swings forward with the right leg. As soon as I notice and involve my brain, I first do it even wronger (same wrong but more pronounced), then stumble and then correct it. Now that I think about it, why wouln't it be that way? "The body" in this scenario is still my brain, just the unconscious part. Why wouldn't dyslexia affect that too? #dyslexia

i think TINY WINY fucks with me because it uses wine and whine and that code switching fries my poor neurons. am one of those people whose bilinguism triggers #dyslexia: am mostly dyslexic in English, not in my mother tongue, Spanish. tiny winy in this song is party people. the whine is one of the precursors of twerking. so, it’s a call for all the party people to shake their booty. DEATH IN PARADISE had a bit about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmApQxcIUrY my #music #soca #calypso earworm is now yours 😜 /🧵

How a new app can help those with dyslexia learn French Yu Yang Tian, an 18-year-old in Candiac, Que., has created an app to help people learn French. An immigrant from China who lives with dyslexia, he developed an app that uses AI to help correct writing, explain mistakes and offer personalized tools.

As a neurodivergent person I'm interested in taxonomy but as a dyslexic person I find it inconvenient that many taxa have unreadable names that differ from other taxa with just one letter. papilionoidea (butterflies) papilionidae (swallowtails) In this case its even two differences, but still it doesn't feel very inclusive to people with learning disabilities (or probably to most people I guess). #neurodivergence #neurodiversity #dyslexia #taxonomy #butterflies #inclusion

'It was there in the child who could not always get the words right on the page, but who could tell great stories and see the bigger picture.' This is me too. I loved spell checkers. (Another thing AI is ruining for me.) https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/apr/25/dyslexic-thinking-scientist-neurodiversity-maggie-aderin #Dyslexia
