Is Dyslexia more common in males than in females? |
I'm doing a research paper, and I can't seem to find out for sure. Websites are always different. If you do find out, please include the website you got it from, because I need to cite EVERYTHING! Trust me, I've read Wikipedia over and over...it says they used to think it was more common in boys, but now they don't know, basically. Well I'm not sure. I have dyslexia, but the thing is, I'm an excellent reader. No problem there. It's math that I can't do. I want you know that, because every time I tell someone I'm dyslexic, they don't believe me. So make sure you research all the different ways dyslexia shows up. I'm sorry thing that this has nothing to do with your post, but I'll give you my opinion, females, because I know many girls with dyslexia, and only a few males. .wonk t'nod i Developmental dyslexia appears to be the result of differences in affected individuals' neural organization for language and reading. Developmental dyslexia also appears to have a genetic component, such that it can tend to occur in multiple members of the same family. Reading difficulties in dyslexia can vary in their severity. The condition is not restricted to childhood, and can persist through adulthood. In addition, while early reports suggested dyslexia is more prevalent in boys, more recent studies have indicated it is not sex-linked, and occurs both in boys and girls with equal frequency. Dyslexia is an inherited condition that makes it extremely difficult to read, write, and spell in your native language鈥攄espite at least average intelligence. Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that is neurological in origin. It is estimated that three to four times as many boys have the condition than girls. It is characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition, and by poor spelling and decoding abilities. These difficulties typically result from a deficit in the phonological component of language that is often unexpected in relation to other cognitive abilities and the provision of effective classroom instruction. Secondary consequences may include problems in reading comprehension and reduced reading experience that can impede growth of vocabulary and background knowledge. |
