hello all,
I'm current doing a project in my final year of university based on anxiety affecting those with dyslexia and dyspraxia and would like to hear what your opinions on it or any research that you have come across.
Do you think more research needs to be done?
Is it common to see symptoms of anxiety in those with dyslexia and dyspraxia?
please let me know how you feel and what you find.
Naturally, it alters them by increasing their dyslexic errors and dyspraxias by raising their tendon and arousal level ... although, paradoxically, a "mild" increase in anxiety can be beneficial because -as the "sample: good or healthy stress "- it would increase their attention, reflexes and response capacity in general: we would therefore be facing an example of the Universal Law of" inverted U "by Yerkes-Dodson
As someone who left school at 15 and was later diagnosed as severe dyslexic, anxiety was related to perceptions of being thick as "diagnosed" by my teachers and told by the Headmaster that I would not mount too much and would be lucky to get two 'O' levels (exams usually taken at year 11 age 16). The anxiety is related to others' perceptions as much as your own. On a positive note it does often provoke sufficient anger to motivate an individual to achieve. Either academically or criminally, so many criminals suffer from dyslexia often not diagnosed.
On a more serious note some researchers do argue there is a relationship between dyslexia and dyspraxia.
Good luck with your study MJB
Thank you for your input on this topic if you see any studies that you wish to share I would be happy to read them.
Albert Einstein was also told that he would not mount to much. He was also dyslexic, if I remember correctly.
I clarify: Making them read, speak and express themselves and understand in general WORSE, because here anxiety would function as a distorting variable that would raise, in such subjects, their arousal levels, surpassing their most adequate levels of performance, according to the Law of Yerkes-Dodson's "inverted U" and, like any Universal Scientific Law, it was also valid for Einsteis that, in fact, his great physical ideas could not be formulated properly mathematically well ... for which he needed the help of his wife, Mileva Marić, whom he later left to marry another. Not having awarded her the Nobel Prize, "ex aequo", has also been and continues to be one of the greatest scientific injustices in History ... but, of course, SHE WAS A "SIMPLE WOMAN"!
