You dont have to\nYou are who you are and to err is human\nMoreover, I dont feel that you have that disorder hun\nWhy not have a different kind of poet who spells differently\nIn the future you will be having your own editor so you dont have to worry about that

some people really can't spell. others, as I tend to do sometimes, just don't feel like using correct grammar and punctuation when the message can get across by using slang or a homemade version of shorthand.

Try to talk slowly and clearly, take your time and dont panic if they can't understand UK people can be quite rude to you if you don't speak english clearly but ignore them because they probably don't speak it properly anyway

You may be able to find a volunteer through local charities or voluntary advocacy services. failing that you could try to learn basic phrases in the persons mother tongue, or you can just carry on doing what you are doing and communicating on a human level, I'm sure they sense that you care and that's what really matters.

You should work on your spelling and syntax while you're at it. A private tutor is the best method... get the best one you can afford.

No its not possible to cure dyslexia, I think you just learn to live with it in some cases. Other people I know struggle every day with everyday things because of it. It depends what your dyslexia is concerned with. Some people it can be numbers, some it cna be words or spelling or processing skills. Things can make it better or less obvious depedning on the job you eventually take

Do others say or imply that you have such a condition? If so, try and see a specialist; a speech pathologist. I'm confident that with therapy you can overcome the impediment. Many famous well recognized people (public speakers) have overcome the condition.

try writing it in consise English so more people would actually understand what you are trying to say.  Otherwise, you would be considered illiterate...

Of course not!  Dyslexia means your brain is wired DIFFERENTLY than most people, which makes reading harder for you.\n\nHowever, that "different wiring" means that you do lots of other things BETTER than other people. \n\nYou are probably good at one or more of the following:\n--Putting together kits and puzzles\n--doing math or geometry\n--sports and other complex physical activities\n--woodworking\n--gardening or agriculture\n--music\n--drawing, painting, and/or sculpture\n--keeping people entertained by telling fun stories out loud\n--knowing the right thing to say to someone\n\nWell, the list could keep going, but you get the idea. Make a list for yourself of the things you do well. Reading and writing are NOT who you are. They are just tools you need to get your work done.

I'm confused- in earlier questions you posted a few weeks ago, you talked like you'd been identified as having a specific learning disability in reading.  You're in special education classes, so your mother had to gave permission for the evaluation and the placement, thus she knows your difficulty.  YOU ARE GETTING HELP.  \n\nYour mother may not know the specific issues you are having.  Talk to her and your special education teacher about these things so they can make accommodations for you in the other areas of your daily life.  You will be able to drive and all that with accommodations, as your 'functional literacy' can be built.  You can learn to recognize certain things you need to drive successfully and safely.  I know plenty of people with learning disabilities who function fine in daily living tasks (adaptive behavior is the fancy name).\n\nIf the problem is that you're confused as to why they didn't say 'dyslexia', please know that most states use the global term 'Learning Disability' since dyslexia is a medical term and we're not really allowed to use it at school.  Anyway, the word 'dyslexia' simply means 'difficulty reading' so getting services as a student with a learning disability is appropriate.
