Robert,

Hi, thank you for responding. I am 53 years old. I have
been teaching physical education for 30 years. I struggled through school and received my Masters degree- all through hard work, grit and determination.
One of my biggest problems is being a convincing and effective communicator.
I know people think I am stupid, maybe I am. I get facts confused, can't remember events from the past, and get tongue tied when I try to talk. People do not respect what I have to say, instead they make fun of me.
I found this site and wanted to explore what other dyslexic individuals were dealing with. I have not seen anyone's message about having poor memory recall. So maybe I am alone in that respect. What kind of work do you with dyslexic people?
Kim
