After being bullied repeatedly throughout my life from the age of 5, treated like an air head and outcast for being different I think that social withdrawal may be a natural method of self protection. My responses to bullies and adversity has always been to stand up and confront which had got me through. I have always spoken up for the underdog and more recently I became a wildlife activist with a relatively high media profile and ran for local council. Unfortunately as the years wear on and the bullies you tackle particularly if political are often powerful and use methods to destroy that are very damaging including cybercrime the vulnerability and veneer of strength that comes with dyslexia becomes less able to protect. Socialise and work for and with other species has been my method of healing and coping and making my life worthwhile.I shall always stand forward to speak up but it is sad how few people are there at the end. As dyslexia comes with empathy I gather we are more sensitive to the tragedy and suffering. Do your part in this area as you shall continue to get beyond your own small world that can occur through social isolation. Rally mates who are other species they shall restore your faith possibly not in human nature but we are only one of millions of species and probably the least interesting. all the best Wendy

My daughter was diagnosed with dyslexia as a child. With accommodations,she was able to graduate from college and has a good job. She is very disorganized but manages to do well with a job that requires a great deal of organization. Her major problem, now, is money management. She shows no self control when it comes to money. If she wants it, she buys it. She is constantly in financial distress. She tells me her money management problems are related to dyslexia and not her fault. I always end up bailing her out as I feel she does so well in other aspects of her life despite having dyslexia. Is there any information on dyslexia and money management or dyslexia and impulse control.
