Hey,

You know, I found out I had dyslexia when I was a kid and I have tryed meany things to help me to do better in all of it. But I haven't had much luck. I always heard what i'm sure most of us have heard all my life (your stupid,dumd, never going amount to any thing and much more). I never got help when I was younger and I try now.
I don't tell alot of poeple about it becuase I get laughted at and not helped. Even when I use the dang spell check it doesn't know what I mean. It can be frustrating. I try to ask poeple how to spell something or for help at work and I get made fun of and laughted at. I got the comment last week "didn't you learn anything in school". It's hard and alot of the times makes me sad. I get the two different ups shipping way mixed up, not how it gose but the names ups and usps. Almost every body here make light of it and laughs or make me tell them what one I need to ship something. When they do laugh at me I just laugh back, don't say anything and back back to my office mad and upset. My question is my boss belives that how you word something in a emial or how you write something out depicks how smart and how much of a hard worker you are. I bust my butt every day and do my job right. I'm not sure how to handle the other poeple in the office and I freaks me out every time I have to emial, write something or even talk to half the poeple in the office becuase of my spelling, mummbling, talking to fast, writeing every thing. Can some one give me some ideas on how to hande it or what to do.
