Do dyslexic children have any problems with social skills?
Some dyslexic children may have difficulties with social skills and grow up to become difficult individuals. This could be because of their low self-esteem, repeated experience of failure, parental pressure and non-acceptance, inability to comprehend implied meanings in a social context, and the constant need to mask their inherently puzzling disability to read fluently. They are either too sensitive and withdrawn, or aggressive and demanding, or they chose to wear the mask of a clown. Many of them have problems making and keeping friends. Or in the other extreme some dyslexic individuals have very good interpersonal skills and are surrounded by friends all the time.
