There are three main types Of Dyslexia.
The three main types of dyslexia are
trauma dyslexia, primary dyslexia and
developmental dyslexia.
Trauma dyslexia usually
occurs after some type of brain trauma or
injury to the area of the brain that
controls reading and writing.
Primary dyslexia is a
dysfunction of, rather than damage to, the
left side of the brain (cerebral cortex)
and does not change with maturity.
Individuals with this type are rarely able
to read above a fourth grade level and may
struggle with reading, spelling, and
writing as adults. Primary dyslexia is
hereditary and is found more often in boys
than in girls.
Developmental dyslexia is
caused by hormonal development during the
early stages of fetal development.
Developmental dyslexia diminishes as the
child matures. This type is also more
common in boys.

I suppose my husband would fall into the
second category --- he developed dyslexia
as he was learning two languages with two
sets of alphabets --- Romanic and
Cyrillic. So, a "G" looked like an "L"
and an "R" like a "P". That kind of stuff
really messes with the brain.
How do you think you developed your
dyslexia?
