Just as the title says. I’ve been doing middle/high school physics, chemistry, biology and math for about little over 2 months now. Whenever I want to make sure I understand something or reassure myself I actually understand it, I’ll go to YouTube and read a little deeper.

Are there any alternatives I can use to learn outside of khan academyIf there aren’t any free ones, I don’t mind paying as long as the service is good and I can actually learn from it. All the STEM apps are “learn *certain topic* in a week!” which is obviously bull. So yeah, I’d just like to know of any alternatives so I’m not learning from just one site.

I literally just started thinking about this maybe like 3 minutes ago, so I do apologize if how I explain things seems choppy or incomplete.

All my life I’ve dealt with reading comprehension issues. I can “read” but it takes effort because I have to give it a bit before my brain starts to actually process what I’m reading instead of just seeing organized, structured scribbles.

I was just thinking about how whether it’s 30 seconds or 5 minutes, while my brain still isn’t processing what I’m looking at, I’ll go into my mental library and remember what that particular scribble or scribbles means and visualize it. To give myself some sort of idea of what I may be reading. So in this time, I’m mentally going through multiple files at the same time trying to get an idea of what I’m looking at. But what I realized just now is this contributes a huuuge amount to why Im extremely visual when it comes to learning and processing things. And maybe that’s why I absolutely must know the why behind things which then makes things magnitudes easier.

Was just wondering if anyone else with dyslexia has dealt with anything similar and if so, how’d you learn to deal with the mental load it has on you?
