According to the International Association of Dyslexia, dyslexia is a language-based learning disability characterized by difficulty in recognizing words, along with poor spelling and decoding skills.
"I want people to know that having dyslexia does not mean you are not smart! "It means that your brain receives and processes information differently," explained Lindsay Fleming.

She is a licensed professional counselor, who was diagnosed with dyslexia at the age of 6 years.
Recently, Lindsay decided to do a TikTok showing what reading through her eyes looks like, through a "stimulus".

Dyslexia is on one spectrum and does not always seem the same to everyone.
In the video, Lindsay challenges others to try to read like her. People without dyslexia began to see how real this "war" is:

Most people surrendered halfway through:

Of course, the challenge was difficult even for dyslexic people:
@lindsayfleminghype Had to give it a go even though I am dyslexic ? @lindsay.fleminglpc today has been a really hard day with dyslexia as well. My test did not go well
