So many of the disorders that afflict modern society are deeply misunderstood by the general public. Certain mental disorders, like seasonal and clinical depression, have been getting more and more attention, but others have been left in the dust.

One of these disorders is dyslexia, which can manifest itself in several different ways, but the main thing is a difficulty with words -- whether that means reading, writing, or spelling. In fact, it's the most common learning disability in the world.

That's why everyone should visit Dsxyliea, a website that demonstrates the kind of struggle that dyslexic people have to deal with every single day. The ailment has nothing to do with intelligence or aptitude -- as you'll soon see the moment you open the page.

Admittedly, the website shows how dyslexia would manifest in an extreme case, but the general concept is sound: letters seem to "jump around" at random, which means reading takes a whole lot of concentration.

I admit that this was an eye-opening experience for me, and I'm amazed that all it took was a bit of JavaScript to do so. If you suffer from dyslexia, or know someone who does, consider using this helpful font designed for dyslexics.

Was this as eye-opening for you as it was for me? If you have any other websites like this that help provide glimpses into certain disorders, please share them with us in the comments!
