Hi, Was diganosed dyslexic at age of 49. I had many an improvement needed due to careless mistakes. It came to a head in 2007 when I was on the road to disciplinary action.

The point to all this is the dyslexia diganosis led to access to work being called in to do a work place assessment. They pat 80% of all costs of any equipment or mentoring that is recomened for you to have. Beleve you and me it helps. you learn to to look at things in a different way. You do learn to find solutions. I am still working on the confidence bit.

Good luck

Thank you for your response. I really appreciate it. My boss doesn't know that I am a dyslexic. Not that I am ashamed I just don't want to be stereotyped. You know the way people respond when they find out. But I know I can't give up or I will have to emigrate. I have found some tools that have really helped, like claro V5. That reads out what you have written.I know your confidence has taken a hit!!! But just remember that some of the best people in the world are dyslexic. One of the best writers in the world W.B. Yeats was Dyslexic. The best thing about being a dyslexic is that you become very driven to prove people are wrong. We can do anything any1 else can do!!
