i was the bad kid too at age 8 i could spell my own name ! im 29 year old life guard. im poor and feel like theres no place for me to get work. i'm trying to be strong and keep trying to think of how to get myself a career !Often my spelling is so bad spell checks like " sorry i dont know what the f your trying to spell there". ive stopped going out with friends because its too embarrassing when their all doing well and im .....a life guard . I really just want to end it all.

thanks to typing my writing is brilliant, although it took almost 16 years to discover that I had dyslexia, its crazy that primary schools and high schools dont push people to get the test done, i could have done so much better at school if I had the test at 13-14 but atleast I finished my collage art degree with a distinction grade and then followed on to go to university to get a BA hons (although the disability team lost my dyslexia files whilst at university, which meant poor essay marks )

GET SOME COLORED GLASSES! Like trying to teach a blind person to drive a car. You can tell them how to shift and turn, but they can't see the road. In 1988, 60 minutes aired a segment, colored glasses for dyslexics. I was severally dyslexic. I went out and got a pair. Purple was my color. Blues or reds are the colors that work best. At 28 I could read for the first time! I could see the print. It's a physical handicap. Side note, after laysic eye surgery I don’t need my colored glasses any more.

i have dyslexia, i found out that i had dyslexia i was about 7 or 8, i thought my life was over, but as i got older i was able to live with it.. life is still hard for me at times but now im working with computers and goin to go back for teaching kids with dyslexia.. so no matter what u think about life with dyslexia, u can over come anything u put ur mind to.

Never been tested, but I know I have dyslexia. Can't spell or write 2 save my life. Seems like the only good I can do, is ride a horse, any horse! Nice 2 know I wasn't the only kid having problems in grade school.
