Well I actually got diagnosed with dyslexia at the age of 15. I have always wanted to do great in school and it kills me inside that I'm not a straight A student. To finally have my school say I'm dyslexic was a battle for 7 years. Between me and my mom fighting the school. Many of my teachers saw it but they couldn't say anything because I wasn't formally diagnosed." Many teachers called me lazy and said I didn't try hard enough but little did they know I was working harder than anyone else. So anyone else who hasn't been diagnosed please don't give up it is just a hard fight and if anyone says Dyslexia is the inability to read please correct them because that is exactly what my child study team told me and because I had a reading level I couldn't be dyslexic .

My grandson started having trouble reading while in kindergarten. He failed the second grade. He is now in the 3rd grade and is still reading like a first grader. His teachers have finally decided that he is dyslexic. They have submitted the application for testing. I don't know why they waited so long to do this. It should have been done while he was in the 2nd grade the first time. Hopefully, he will be able to catch up to where he's supposed to be.

Just found out today I have dyslexia. Took a memory test. It explains why I had so much trouble and had to work so hard in school 40 years ago. But you know, I worked around it and became very successful. Can't read or write well, have trouble looking for words sometimes while speaking but I excell at math. I am glad I wasn't diagnoised back then, because I might have limited myself. Life is full of adventure no matter what doctors or teacher say you have YOU CAN DO IT.

I was in university before my dyslexia was diagnosed. I was performing poorly in my chemistry class and tested me on suspension of dyslexia. The disorder never held me back and I over compensated for it throughout my school years.

It helps some people to capitalize B's and D's, maybe it will help to capitalize P's and Q's. I am just beginning to learn about dyslexia. I am a teacher. I would really like to learn more about this so I can help my students who have this.

I read and wrote upside down. At 32 I still can read upside down fairly well. I spelled a lot of words out of order. Who and how still get me, saw and was, are another set. I have a kid that wrote all numbers except 1, 8 and 0 backwards.
