Edited - Dysgraphia is different for everyone and you may not realize how it affects you if you have it. I keep realizing things all the time. For example, just last night I realized something, I write letters that I don’t mean to write. I will explain a little more. I write by either sounding out the words that I haven’t memorized how to spell and spell them phonetically. The words I have memorized how to spell, I spell out in my head, saying the letters as I write them or looking at the letters when I type. For example, when I was writing down the word “nights” last night, I thought out N-I-G-H-T-S but wrote N-I-G-G-T-S. I had thought “h” but wrote “g”. I have done this several times before: a's and d's, and b's withs p's are just a couple. I wonder why it happens? I have a theory but, I will wait to write about it in a later blog. I keep looking for ways to help me with Dysgraphia. I know that some people suggest therapy, but I don’t see what  a therapist can do that I can’t do myself. In this case, accommodations work best. I have accommodations in school to take notes on my iPod so I don’t have to write by hand, and can read what I am writing later. I also have my mom edit everything that I write. She edits the edited version of my blog posts for me. I don’t know what I would do with out her.

My Experences

unedited: you may be wondering how i managed to edit my last blog post my mother was the one who edited it not me. i always have my mom edit everything i write because i canot edit it myself. a lot of people are mislead to believe that dysgraphia is a fine moter disorder witch is not always the case i do not have any fine moter problems but i still have dysgraphia when im writeing it doesnt occur to me to add puncuation it is often an after thought and i can look at something and only sometimes tell that it is wrong but i dont know how to fix it most times. i have had sevral intresting encounters that had to do with me haveing dysgraphia but the most intresting and one that made me really mad was with my english teacher last year. she had just learned that i had dysgraphia and i needed to take notes on my ipod to make things easer and she says sevral times that i need to just study more i thought that was as bad as it wold get her telling me i need to try harder when i had already tryed very hard and it diddent help one bit but what i learned later that in one of the phone calls between her and my mom she clamed that she could and i quote "break her (me) of dysgraphia" now i am makeing an assumption when i say that she had never heard of dysgraphia before now but even if she had she shouldent go mouthing off about stuff she evidently diddent know anything about because it is impossible to "break" someone of a learing disorder it is part of who they are it is just the way there brain works its not a bad thing. i dont enjoy not being able to do things that other kids can but ive gotten used to it and found things that help me as should anyone with a disorder should do find things that help you accomplish what you want to and never ever think you cant do something because of a disorder.


Edited: You may be wondering how I managed to edit my last blog post. My mother was the one who edited it, not me. I always have my mom edit everything I write because I cannot edit it myself. A lot of people are misled to believe that dysgraphia is a fine moter disorder, which is not always the case. I do not have any fine motor problems, but I still have dysgraphia. When i'm writing, it doesn't occur to me to add punctuation. It is often an after thought and I can look at something and only sometimes tell that it is wrong, but I don't know how to fix it most times. I have had several interesting encounters that had to do with me having dysgraphia, but the most interesting, and one that made me really mad, was with my English teacher last year. She had just learned that I had dysgraphia and I needed to take notes on my iPod to make things easier, and she says several times that I need to just study more. I thought that was as bad as it would get, her telling me I need to try harder, when I had already tried very hard and it didn't help one bit. But what I learned later was that in one of the phone calls between her and my mom, she claimed that she could, and I quote, "break her (me) of dysgraphia." Now I am making an assumption when I say that she had never heard of dysgraphia before now, but even if she had she shouldn't go mouthing off about stuff she evidently didn't know anything about because it is impossible to "break" someone of a learing disorder. It is part of who they are. It is just the way their brain works, it's not a bad thing. I don't enjoy not being able to do things that other kids can, but i've gotten used to it and found things that help me, as anyone with a disorder should do. Find things that help you accomplish what you want to, and never, ever think you can't do something because of a disorder.

Beginnings . . .

creating a blog with disgraphia is a hard thing to do. i created this blog to tell about my experences with dysgraphia. in my experence unlike many people think dysgraphia is not something that can be cured it is something lots of people have to deal with on a daily bases but most do not know they have it i diddent know until last year and diddent realy understand what it intailed until now. at first i thought it was normal but over time i relized i was wrong i couldent do things that the other kids could do and it was very frustrating everyone else could spell write and use grammer with ease but i couldent. i started to think that i might have dyslexia but it diddent add up i could read faster than most kids in my class. i could also understand what i was reading more and faster than all of the other kids. when i was fourteen i got my answer my mom is a speech pathologist and had known since i was in fourth grade that i had dysgraphia but diddent want to tell me thinking i would give up trying when little did she know that i had stopped trying to learn how to spell a long time ago. with this bloog i am planing on showing my storie of growing  up with dysgraphia for every blog post i will put one post of my orignal version and then an edited vershion below it this is the unedited vershon.

Creating a blog with dysgraphia is a hard thing to do. I created this blog to tell about my experiences with dysgraphia. In my experience, unlike many people think, dysgraphia is not something that can be cured. It is something lots of people have to deal with on a daily basis, but most do not know they have it. I didn't know until last year and didn't really understand what it entailed until now. At first, I thought it was normal, but over time I realized I was wrong. I couldn't do things that the other kids could do, and it was very frustrating. Everyone else could spell, write, and use grammer with ease, but I couldn't. I started to think that I might have dyslexia, but it didn't add up. I could read faster than most kids in my class. I could also understand what I was reading more and faster than all of the other kids. When I was fourteen, I got my answer. My mom is a speech pathologist and had known since I was in fourth grade that I had dysgraphia, but didn't want to tell me, thinking I would give up trying. When little did she know, that I had stopped trying to learn how to spell a long time ago. With this blog, I am planing on showing my story of growing  up with dysgraphia. For every blog post, I will put one post of my orignal version and then an edited version below it.
