Concerning Dyslexia

[Husar]

I am not attacking your values, Husar, I'm attacking the values of society as a whole. If you don't consider someone someone who can't do math stupid, then good.

I know and I'm challenging your attack, although it's okay if you have doublexia.

The fact remains that I have several students who feel like complete failures and idiots because they just can't wrap their minds around statistics. The number of people who feel that way because they have trouble writing is drastically lower. This is due to the term dyslexia and how society has accepted that inability.

Is that so or do you just assume it is? How are the treatments for other conditions? Of course they shouldn't feel that way but then again even I am dumb and sometimes feel worse than I am, I doubt it's because I lack a name for my disorders.

Dyslexia doesn't have a cause. "Dyslexia" is the term we give for those who have specific difficulties with writing. There are several reasons why people have such problems, from a number of causes, both biological and enviromental.

Tiaexz already answered this (see quote below).

And the sentence you bolded doesn't say "the same thing twice". The order of things is switched in the second half.

The order of words but not the order of the content because you just switched synonyms!
So basically it says the same thing twice...

So the premise of the thread is that people with marked disabilities such as dyslexica, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, autism, aspergers, ADHD are simply dumb people with fancy titles is in complete contrast to neurological impairments found in research which demonstrates evidence of different 'wiring' within the brain compared to atypical brain samples of people who simply are too lazy to check the validity of sources and pigeon-hole themselves in the conservative bubbles such as FOX news, reading only the headlines which makes them 'dumb'.

No, I think his point is that dyscalculia should get more social acceptance to make kids with dyscalculia feel great like kids with the socially dyslexia already do. Additionally I assume that he thinks people who watch Fox News all day aren't really dumb, just born that way and should get a fancy name for their disorder, like dysfoxia, so they can feel great about their birth condition as well.

What is interesting in this context is that you say different wiring in the brain, which is my understanding as well, while HoreTore adds "environmental" to that in what is no doubt a lame attempt to direct the topic towards class warfare. Of course I would like to see some evidence that dyslexia is caused by "environmental" effects that do not have anything to do with the brain and does not just victimize analphabets by reframing them dyslexics due to "environmental" effects.

People with disabilities are stigmatised heavily in society, even in the past exterminated / sterilised for conditions and yet you inflame the situation because a couple of forum members felt comfortable enough to express they had a disability to each other, you find it is totally okay to phrase your topic like this when it is your own ignorance on the matter which is at fault.

I think he has an impairment to bring his point across in the OP and the topic, we could call it "dystopia" so he can feel better about it.
