When I was a child I was under IEP for a developmental delay, communication disorder yet dyslexia was never mentioned but I was continual reading failure. Recently tested I have it in three areas. I'm a college student, activist and under stress I forget lots of things. Recently I reversed an important email to Supreme court Judge Page. Writing to him because we are still face much discrimination in this system of things with IDEA being funded at only 17 percent. I get so upset I still cry just as I did as a child, because it is so frustrating when your mind does those reversals and the words move on the page and you can't understand what your reading and nobody acknowledges this disability and you feel dumb, in fact your discriminated against still in this day and age when people should know better. With no access to audio books or services I still struggle to learn just as I did as a child with no accommodations.

Over the past three years my dyslexia has made itself far more obvious at times.
I am not sure if my dyslexia has worsened as such, but rather that changes in work and also my personal life have altered patterns with which I had been comfortable.
I have always had problems with math, in fact the only phone number I could remember has now altered....and I hate it when people ask for your number and I stand there looking totally blank...thank goodness for mobiles....maybe in another ten years I will remember my new one!
Stress and altered environments definately have an impact on dysexia....it's yet another trial of life.
