My daughter, 10, and husband, 46, both have dyslexia. Neither are diagnosed, but based on this blog post, I am finally pushing the school to get my daughter evaluated. I never had any of these issues but thankfully my husband did so my daughter has an ally in him. Thank you for laying out the "symptoms" so clearly in such a way that I can clearly see the issues, that she needs help and how she won't just "get better" by practicing her spelling even more - that specialized, targeted, training is in order. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing you guys. I am 43 years old right now. All my life it has been about communication problems. I misunderstand people when they are communicating with me, and then they misunderstand me when I am communicating with them. I have communication disorder called auditory central processing disorder and it frustrating but I am still not giving up on communicating with others, no matter how frustrating it is for me!!!

Wow while I was diagnosed with a disability closer to dysgraphia, after reading this I am definetly going to see at my next evaluation if it might be dyslexia for me my absolute worst word has to be:
dose and does
As in does he want a dose of medicine - public embarrassment

Great Article! As a fellow student with Dyslexia, I could relate to everything you said even the colon comment haha. A special english teacher was the hero in my story. She never gave up on me, and that pushed me to never give up on myself.

Thanks for sharing, and I hope that one day our paths cross!

Hi, I am one of those adults that has dyslexia.. I am going to be 65 this November. I have lived my whole life thing I am stupid. my mom called me stupid growing up so I believed her. but now that I have my window to the world and all the knowledge I want I know iam not stupid! my God it took almost all my life to learn this. I feel sad and happy at the same time. I am an untrained artist kind of. I can't believe how close to whole I feel. never stop doing what you are doing!
