[quote=Anonymous]Anyone else have a dyslexic teen who has begun calling themselves dumb/stupid as their peers track into more accelerated classes or finish their homework quicker? My DS is also comparing himself to his non-dyslexic brother, who breezes through school. On the one hand, I am trying to assure DS that he is in no way dumb. At the same time, there is no mistaking that school is easier for some kids, and now he's seeing it firsthand as kids split into diff classes, and I can't deny that to him - yeah, his peers are doing AP. He has plenty of educational support; I'm more worried about his self-esteem. He also wants to know "why" he is dyslexic since nobody in our family is. This only began coming up with the start of school this year (high school) and I am really struggling with how to buoy him.[/quote]
