Hi everyone,

I am a little confused at the moment. I am study a MSC at uni and a lecturer recommened me to go for a test for dyslexia.

Talking to 3 other learning support people they suggested a possibility of having dylexia. I find processing info quite slow, my short term memory is poor, and every project i do i get pulled up on clarity, spelling and grammer.

I took theonline assesment which cost around £30 and that also indicated dyslexia. but i went to the educational psychologist and i was border line, processing was down, short term memory was (apparently not that bad) - however they let me use my coping stragies which i usually do to remember things. Anyway he said he did'nt want to give me the label of dyslexia....these tests are they sensitive enough for diiferent forms of dyslexia? i mean i am in the ta and on the army website it says people with dyslexia have problems with drill - sequencing and learining the drills. I have that problem and its really frustrating.

I feel a bit lost and confused....whether i have it and it was missed on test day (i was having a good intelligent day that day) or i have a mild form.

can anyone advise?

cheers
