Dyslexia: What is it, how does it occur and how dangerous is it!

You must have heard the word "Dyslexia," and if you can't remember, let me remind you of Ishaan from the movie Taare Zameen Par. Yes, the difficulty Ishaan was facing in this movie is called Dyslexia.

Not just in movies but Dyslexia is a common problem. Our favourite actors Abhishek Bacchan and Hrithik Roshan have also suffered from Dyslexia. Let's today learn a little more about this condition

What is Dyslexia?

Dyslexia is not a disease, but a condition in which a person is unable to learn. People with this condition have a hard time processing words and numbers, no matter how intelligent they are. It's a condition that exists from birth. If parents have Dyslexia, there's a possibility their children may also have it. People with Dyslexia are not stupid or lazy. Most of them are very intelligent and work hard to overcome their reading difficulties.

Why does Dyslexia occur?

Dyslexia occurs when a person's brain processes information differently. In people with Dyslexia, a different part of the brain works while reading compared to others, making it difficult for them to study. They find it very hard to understand the sounds of alphabets and combine these sounds to form words, which makes it difficult to recognize short words and pronounce long words. It takes a lot of time and focus just to read words, making it very difficult to understand their meanings, and they struggle with their studies. People with Dyslexia have difficulty with spelling, writing, and sometimes even speaking.

How dangerous is Dyslexia?

For some people, Dyslexia is not very severe. Dyslexia does not get treated, but with the right help, many people can learn to read even with Dyslexia. They try different methods to learn things. When people with Dyslexia read, their reading may be slow, and they might mix up words, so if someone else reads the information to them, they can remember it better by listening. People with Dyslexia also find it very difficult to solve Math problems and remember spellings.
