I'm no expert but it sounds like you may have more than just dyslexia. Possibly ADD. If I were in your situation I would talk with my family doctor about it. I'm also dyslexic and Have found that putting a blank piece of paper over what I'm reading and moving it down the page, one sentence at a time as I am reading really helps me keep focused.

I understand im 60 now and just learned to keep it to myself, but i do find that i do have a short fuse i think my temper grew with my age its very frustrating living with this...it is to me. i just do the best i can and try not to be so hard on myself because this has been with me all my life, and will be with me for the rest of it...so i try to laugh things off and make the best of it...what else can you do?

You're never too old. I don't care for IDA because although their techniques work for some, they don't work for all and this organization is heralded by school districts way too much. An alternative (and I say this because I've witnessed dyslexics who try all sorts of methods) is DDAI (David Dyslexia Int'l Association).
