both me and my father are dyslexic my father did not find out he was dyslexic until after i was diagnosed at the age of 7 i did not know about dyslexia until i was diagnosed
my father is now clinically depressed because of being called stupid by everyone including his parents during school and it wasnt untill around the time he started universityhe realised that he wasn't actually stupid just a slow learner who needed to put in a lot more effort to learn(the rod is never the only option)
i myself have been working hard at school and have kept up with my classmates by doing much more work i have never been an a grade student but i keep up
please do some research before discriminating

Oh, I don't know. If his parents had put a rod to his backside he would have put in the extra effort wouldn't he of.
You do realize that the part I highlighted up there is basically proof that dyslexics are lazy and not putting in the effort. I find it amazing that no children had this "disorder" when I was growing up. But then again we got fresh air, exercise, and a good beating when we needed it.
Sure some kids have to put in more effort than others, but that doesn't mean they're sick.

Not to mention the household chores I had to do as well. Laziness was not a part of my life at any time. Although, I do dispute the claim that I was Dyslexic

This is my point. People try to say our oldest has ADHD, that's why I yanked him out of public school in Canada. They seem convinced that every kid in class needed some sort of disorder attached to him and pills stuffed down their throats. They even wanted him to repeat Kindergarten, can you believe that!? Yet with home schooling he is excelling. No pills, no liebral zombie mind control, just good old fashioned teaching and a smack upside the head when he needs it.
