Most schools don't "look" for dyslexia when they scan for learning disabilities because they don't conside it a learning disability...you need to ask if your child was screened for dyslexia...you'd be suprised. Schools need to step up and catch this early on the earlier it's caught the better managed it can be.

Sometimes I cant remember and get confused if a letter is backwards or not

I wonder if i have this. Although i have good writing and spelling skills, sometimes i am horrible at reading. For instance, if i see a word, sometimes its spelled differently in my mind. I also tend to pause and studder alot when reading out loud.

@razellify YES! I found some on ebay under "John Lennon glasses". The cheapest were $10 shipped! I've been told the blue and red colors work best. Mine were purple. It's what ever color work best for you. Use them under bright light. They also said the glasses will cure 75% of the dyslexics, the ones with the physical handicap. Good luck and pass it on.

My teacher embarrassed me in class, when i kept asking questions about a paper, she said "Seriously, This class is NOT for Dyslexics." Since then, people always ask questions and ask if im autistic. No, im not.

I'm dyslexic. I won most spelling bees in school, which were spoken-responsive, and I can write well on paper; but the keyboard is a nightmare! The problem is inhererent to 2D versus 3D conceptualization. Many dyslexics have advanced 3D abilities at the expense of 2D thinking. They make the best mechanical engineers, but lousy accountants. A neighbor, who was the Neuorology Dept Head at Stanford Medical School, enlightened me about this 20 years ago.
