Dyslexia Jokes

Last Friday, I admitted that I’m not only a writer, I’m also lysdexic. I am currently hunting for a publisher for my young adult novel about a dyslexic teenager, and figured it might not be too horrible of an idea to try to build a “dyslexia” platform for myself, not just a writing platform. I did this before, I had a whole blog about dyslexia a couple years ago. The problem was that there is only so much to say about bad spelling and I ended up spending most of my time blogging about non-dyslexia related topics. That’s the reason why I moved over here.

I like some of the stuff that I said about dyslexia in some of those old blog posts though. So I’ve decided to re-post a dyslexia related blog post here each Friday. Once I’ve reposted all the good stuff, I’m going to officially take down my old blog. I am starting with a blog I first posted on June 15, 2009. This is hands down the most popular thing I have ever unleashed on the internet. Right now when you google the term “dyslexic jokes” my blog post from 2009 is the number one page that comes up. I usually get 20-30 hits a day, and a lot of comments.

So before I give you the jokes, I’m going to speak to all you future commenters. I AM NOT TRYING TO BE MEAN AND I DON’T THINK YOU ARE STUPID!!! I am dyslexic. I am also an intelligent person with multiple college degrees and a budding writing career. I know that dyslexics aren’t stupid, and I know that if you are dyslexic and reading this, you are probably a very talented person who is capable of doing many wonderful things, just maybe not spelling. But I also know, sometimes it’s good to laugh at yourself. So by posting these jokes, please know that I’m not laughing at you. I’m laughing at me. Okay? Are we good now?

Without further ado, here are some of my favorite dyslexia jokes.
