Stress is not always mentioned in discussions of dyslexia, but it's important to be aware of this secondary characteristic. As this video discusses, stress affects the processing skills that require concentration and memory, causing a dyslexic to struggle even more.

Dyslexics are prone to stress because, as they grow in a non-dyslexic world, they have trouble adjusting to their own ways of thinking visually. However, this stress can be alleviated thanks to support from educators and employers, who should acknowledge their different ways of thinking. By accomodating these processing differences, the dyslexic can express themselves in creative ways, and overcome the stress of the disorder.
