I wrote a dictionary for dyslexics, "American Wordspeller & Phonetic Dictionary" it's also an App on phones. The reason I mention this is because I just now talked with a wealthy realtor on the plane coming back home last month and he said he overcame his dyslexia by reading his books out loud while standing up and walking around. He said he also sometimes read and walked around while listening to music turned very loud. Now he can easily read. I'm certain it has to do with eye muscles and that ADD most dyslexics have (like my daughter).

Anyway, of all the remedies I've heard, that one sounded like the best.

i am dylexic and i qualified as a driving instrutor and did the job for 14 years. you should get extra help because you are dylexic. however some poeple are not willing to disclose the fact that thay are dyslexic and this makes it hard to help.

what i would say to you is you need to overcome dyslexa in your life and then the driving part will be no problem.

i went back to collage at the age of 53 and got help and and past a Diplomer.

you are probly like me very inteligent but have a disabilty it possible to overcome this find a organisation that will help you dont strugle all your life like i did only to find out how inteligent you are and what you could have atchived.

some of the things that realy helped me i learnd to touch type, strated to use dragon net voise to text techonlage, and was properly assesed.
