I'm 24 years and spent most of my childhud in NZ. I've taken some tests thats say if you get 10 questins wrong out of 30 your Dyslexia.

I got all of then wrong. I was crying for a few minutes. I've been told all my life by my Dad that I never try thats why I'm no good at school. He was Shocked when I got 100% in my drving licence theary test. I thought He must think I'm not very bight. I started learning how to help myself at seconary school as my parents where not helping me out. Although my Mum tried bless her. I watched progams on how to balence out my brain.

I started playing the drums and going to Ballet lesions and focusing on things I'm good at like Design and cooking. I intsantly saw an inprovment in my work. I was one of the top students in my Clothing desgin class. I'm abnormaly creative. I dream of things every night some creazy ideas or so intence that i have to write them down but most I can just smile about and keep to myself. No-one will ever truely understand how incredible my brain really is. I think the only chance I had to do well was when I was provided with a reader in my Exams. My College could only provide me with a reader for two terms. When I found out that i could no longer have a reader my heart sunk, it was like I had lost all of the new hope that I had finely been given. I was 16 at this stage. Now that i understand how I work and know more about my condtion I've come to realised I'm very blessed to have a such a gift that has put me through hell and back.
All I can say is if your Child has Dyslexia the best thing you can do for them to to try to undersatnd it. I think this web site is fantastic we need more suport like this. :)
