I'm a bit confussed, I'm 33 and just been told by a college leacturer that I may be dislexic.. I'v tried to do a bit of reasurch but most of the information i can find is about children, when i was in school there was no such thing... I think i have alot of the personnality traits and have a lot of spelling issues, which i have just taken for granted, "thats just me!" but how and where do i find out if I AM dyslexic?? Can any one help me... please

Forgive me, all silent readers.

"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy." [William Shakespeare]

Likewise, mosaics of physiological variants could produce apparent typologies of pseudo dyslexia. In other words, forget these websites if you really want to know. Go to a recognised expert in educational psychology, and if you can manage it, one who is a qualified clinical psychologist.

To paraphrase a role of Jack Nicholson, "The troot, there ain't no troot." All we have is what we know, and that keeps changing.

It's funny how we wish for the things we haven't got.

I think many people would wish for your gift of improvisation.

I think my first wish might be to have a voice that others would want to hear.

Cherish your gift of improvisation. Why not let that take you where it will?

Carol Reid, 30 June, said (plus my punctuation):

"I can help you. You may have already had this information, I'm not sure, but if you contact Dyslexia Scotland ... Not sure where you are based, but they are in Stiriling. They are national as well, so will probably have a branch in England. The phone number is 08448-008-484 or dyslexiascotland.org.uk hope this helps."

I bet the link will lead you where you need to go -- to your local dyslexia association.
