Dyslexia and Friendship troubles

[Eggybready]

Would like recommendations of groups on Facebook/Instagram or any websites/books or just someones own experience of children who struggle in friendship groups due to dyslexia/slow processing
My child is 9
We are new to all this so any help is appreciated

Anybody?

Hi, I’m searching under slow processing speed as my DD is 4 years old, teachers suspect slow processing speed as she struggles to follow
a set of instructions in class, and routines. I really worry that this will affect her social groups as she struggles to quickly respond to social interactions sometimes. I have noticed that ring leaders have been feisty with her already and I just worry sick that this will greatly impact on her. How is your child coping at the moment? Have they got any solid friend/friend group? DD seems to always have a story about someone not being her friend but I do think that’s just girls 😂

You need to build self confidence in dyslexic children - work on their self esteem first then work on friendships.

There are groups who will advise try the dyslexia association.

What social issues is your child facing? Are they definitely linked to dyslexia?

I am dyslexic. Friendship issues when growing up we're not related to my dyslexia they were just normal not getting on with everyone and cliques that come with age.

Like the other poster said, build confidence. I had that is bucket loads and it helped me overcome a lot.

Hi, my daughter is undiagnosed but I think teachers suspect dyslexia/ADD I know these two conditions are separate but share many similar conditions.

she sometimes has trouble organising her thoughts and tries to race her sentences which in turn ends up slowing her down and sometimes over thinks what she will say before saying it if that makes sense. Then before she has had a chance to answer the moment has passed. Im sure this will improve with age as well but I have noticed a bit of a delay in answering when with her peers.

how would you suggest building confidence at this age? She goes to dancing classes and gymnastics which she loves and has built a little social group In These classes too. Thankyou for your answers. I’m new to this as well.

My daughter does not have dyslexia, but she is diagnosed with dyspraxia and auditory processing disorder (ASD related). She is home educated and most friendships started in sport clubs, art classes and those sorts of shared interests. I would recommend having a search for what is on at your local leisure centre, evening clubs and browse eventbrite for things she maybe interested in.
