My first stop would be the Disability Rights Commission,(http://www.drc-gb.org/).

Quickly followed by a visit to you local Job Centre to see the Disability Employment Advisor. Ask about Access to Work funds.

Before I was diagnosed as being dyslexia, which didn't happen until I was 35 or so, I hated people seeing my writing, filling in forms and just writing in general.

It made school a painful place to be, so much so I just dropped out at 14. It was like a giant boot attached by a lever to my back. Everytime I was given a writing task to do the boot would kick me right up my backside.

I believe the real thing that makes dyslexia a disability are schools and society in general. They cause the problems to be worse and make it a lot harder for a dyslexic to achieve their potential.

There is help out there all you gotta do is access it. After the way school and society has let us dyslexics down you deserve a little pay back.
