Dexter has dislexia. He's been told he's stupid his all life. I want to hug him.

Dyslexia does not make you stupid.
He should have tried harder at school maybe.

I just KNEW this would get pulled out as an excuse now,Ah well I suppose he needs some as he has no merits of his own.

No, but unless you are lucky enough to get a diagnosis at an early stage it very much gets you labelled as stupid.

There is still a stigma attached to the condition.

I used to teach adult literacy and many of my students were undiagnosed dyslexics. Many of them self-identified as stupid because they'd been called stupid or thick whilst they were growing up, both by other kids, and by teachers.

Dexter said he has dyslexia. He has been called stupid his all life and was bullied because of it. He also said he has dyspraxia, which explains why he struggles in social situations.

My lovely daughter was an undiagnosed dyslexic right up until she went to uni.
She struggled, she had to work harder, we had to help her more. But she still managed to leave school with 11 GSCE, went onto uni got her A levels then on to do her masters.She is now HOD in secondary school.
My daughter never considered herself stupid and we would never have allowed her to. We did pull our hair out at not being able to find out what her problem
was.
Perhaps Dexter did not get the support at home, might not have had as good a school etc, but I will stand by my statement that being dyslexic does not mean you are stupid.

Of course it doesn't this guy will use any trick or manipulate any situation to his advantage, he is thinking about nominations and trying to play the pity card is all to guilt trip the other HM's.
If he does have dyslexia using it in this context was a PR stunt and nothing else.

@Bold and i suppose you have seen how Dexter's family handled the situation that you are making such theories, what an awful assumption to make about someone elses family....

Of course being dislexic doesn't mean you're stupid. But i think some dislexic people feels that way. Maybe because they didn't get the support they needed.

..I'm glad that it didn't hinder your daughter smudgie and of course dyslexia doesn't reflect your intelligence but the effect on everyone's learning who has it isn't the same and that's hugely to do with when it's diagnosed as well and how much support that person gets which I'm sure you know....

Definitely. She had a late diagnoss but we knew something was not right.
I do think it is terrible that early diagnosis is not the norm makes a big difference to a person.

Callum keeps lying about Dexter. His gameplan is not so smart if people can see through it.

Callum putting words into Dexter's mouth that in fact he never uttered...don't forget, this is the same Callum that told Sam that he got cheers on Friday night...another Callumism.
