I am 27 years old, and I have always had a rough time with reading and writing. I am highly intelligent and this pasted year I just received my Ph.D. in chemistry. I made it through HS and 9 years of college without reading a single book and with having great proof readers who understand my writing. When I was two years old I had to go speech therapy classes because I couldn�t pronounce words. When I got to elementary school my teachers suggested to my parents I should be evaluated; however, my mom didn�t want to hear I had a learning disability. It is extremely difficult for me to pronounce first time words and I can�t sound out words while spelling. If I ask someone how to spell a word it�s difficult for me to transfer the letters I hear to paper. When it comes to reading I have to read paragraphs three or more time to understand the context and in most cases it becomes too difficult that I have to stop reading. I was wondering what where peoples thoughts? Also, where could I go to get help?
