Hi Wendy Gillespie thanks for your reply

I understand, I really do, the amount of extra hours that I had to put in the get the same work out is not to be underestimated, it is very stressful.

i wish there was something that i could do to change that but there is not any think i know of.

some tips that got me through:

I had to let go of my leanings towards perfectionism (as in if i don't it 100% right then it an 100% failure that is not true, we beat ourselves with that and it increases our stress)

make sure to have the best dyslexic aids and software i recommend WordQ.

get support, I got other people to read my work and offer correction, and have people read my work out loud, you can get software to do that but it really helps to hear it read by a person. i got a relative to read for me paid her a nominal fee.

break down the work in to bite sizes, concentrate on each part once happy put all the parts into a coherent whole. as a dyslexic we like things in whole, when writing this trait can be overwhelming.

sorry if i'm teaching you to suck eggs for give me. but these things really helped me.

good luck
Carole
