Dyslexia in the workplace

Successful business people talk about how they overcame their learning difficulties; how the world of work is so different from school or college; and discuss whether to disclose your learning difficulty to an employer.

@Blunder1248 i had the same problems

I found when I started to look for work that telling employers at interviews your dyslexic made the interview going very short and bad. I found when trying to get a Job with Ford they were the worst I ever had as they asked me to leave as soon as they read on a bit of paper I was Dyslexic!

But just for the record Ford Cars have terrible safety records and their engine management system are stupidly developed and prone to simple problems which in turn costs the owners a lot of money.

I'm in a tech field and I've done quite well for myself. There are actually people at work here that think I'm a genius, which I find funny. They don't know I've had trouble reading all my life. I read A LOT, and it never seems to get easier. Dyslexia sucks!!! If they hear me read out loud, they'd think I was illiterate.
