Frustration

unedited - sometimes not being able to spell and do things that others can do is frustrating. sometimes when it takes me four or five times trying to spell a word just to get spell check to pick it up makes me want to scream and throw a tantrum but i have found that takeing a deep breth and counting can help. it also makes it hard when there is no spell check or limited spell check cuz then i can tell if the word is right or not so i have to copy it and paste it in a word document and then edit it. i tutor after school and i have been asked for help in english and have had to turn them down because i cant help them. i cant edit my own work witch is hard cuz it means i have to find someone with the pachents to do it. not being able to spell can also be hard when i have to ask how to spell something thats comon knolage to everyone else. ive also had to substute words instead of others when i just couldent get it to come up on spell check. i have also click on the wrong word in spell check by mistake and not known until my mom looked at it. sometimes it can be really hard and make me want to cry like when i spelled night wrong i know how to spell it but i still spelled it wrong and i dont know why. sometimes the hardest part is not knowing whats causing something to happen. like i dont know why my hands will write one thing when i am thinking another and i dont know why no matter how much i studdy my brain wont learn how to spell. i dont know what is different in my brain hat makes it happen and i would love to know the more infromation you have the easer it can be.

Edited - Sometimes not being able to spell and do things that others can do is frustrating. Sometimes when it takes me four or five times trying to spell a word just to get spell check to pick it up makes me want to scream and throw a tantrum, but I have found that taking a deep breath and counting can help. It also makes it hard when there is no spell check or limited spell check, cause then I can't tell if the word is right or not so I have to copy it and paste it in a word document and then edit it. I tutor after school and I have been asked for help in English and have had to turn them down because I can't help them. I can't edit my own work which is hard cause it means I have to find someone with the patience to do it. Not being able to spell can also be hard when I have to ask how to spell something thats common knowledge to everyone else. I've also had to substitute words instead of others when I just couldn't get it to come up on spell check. I have also clicked on the wrong word in spell check by mistake and not known until my mom looked at it. Sometimes it can be really hard and make me want to cry, like when I spelled night wrong. I know how to spell it, but I still spelled it wrong and I don't know why. Sometimes the hardest part is not knowing what's causing something to happen. Like I don't know why my hands will write one thing when I am thinking another, and I don't know why no matter how much I study, my brain won't learn how to spell. I don't know what is different in my brain that makes it happen, and I would love to know. The more information you have, the easier it can be.

  1. My son was diagnosed with dygraphia last year at the very end of 3rd grade. He has a 504 plan this year and receives OT. Even with the 504 no real accommodations have been implemented in the class. The teachers and the school don't seem to really know much about it. They go about like it's not a true learning disability. It breaks my heart because he is extremely intelligent but has very low self esteem and feels he is not smart.

    I enjoyed reading your blog. I wish you the best. I hated even using the words learning disability in the above paragraph. It is the school systems disability in not being able to properly school children with dysgraphia. It is a shame that the school system is not recognizing that people like you and my son have a lot to offer the world. Your minds work differently. And people with minds like yours have change the world.
