Hi @josh ,
I am also dyslexic, the current problem here in the UK is the lack of understanding of what are called the Cognitive Subtypes of Dyslexia.Dyslexia is a man made problem concerning decoding and recoding the visual notation of speech, or the graphic symbols society chooses to represent the sounds of speech.Dyslexia is language dependent.There are two types of dyslexia. Acquired Dyslexia, also known as Alexia, is caused by brain injury, stroke, atrophy, etc which is concerned with those loosing or have lost the previously acquired skills to decode and recode the visual notation of speech. And Developmental Dyslexia which has a genetic causes. There are three cognitive subtypes of Developmental Dyslexia - Auditory, Visual and Attentional. Which means that an Auditory Processing Disorder, a Visual Processing Disorder, an Attention Deficit / Disorder, or any combination of these issues can cause the Dyslexic SymptomSo those who are classified as being dyslexic need to identify the underlying cognitive / clinical / medical cause of their dyslexic symptom, so that they can fully understand the nature of their own specific disability, and the limitations it or they impose. And more importantly identify the alternative compensating skills and abilities that they will be best able to access to work around their personal limitations.
Hopefully you have been able to identify the underlying cause of your dyslexia.
Auditory Processing Disorder is the cause of my dyslexia.1 -

Hi @josh
The main underlying cognitive cause of dyslexia is the Temporal form of Auditory Processing Disorder (APD)
APD is a listening disability, or the brain having problems processing the sounds the ears hear, which include the sound based communication system we use, speech, and any notations of speech.
The temporal type of APD is about having problems processing the gaps between sounds, which can include problems processing the gaps between words in rapid speech (like legal limitations described during radio adverts). Those of us who have the temporal form of APD are not cognitively able to use phonics, or process the gaps between the sounds that the letters in a word represent. We are not cognitively able to phonetically sound out new words from the written word, text.
