I don’t care what any one says! If you tell people your dyslexic them people act as if your mentally retarded!
I can remember in 3 job interviews that were going well. The second i told them i was dyslexic the interview promptly ended! one said we don’t want some with Dyslexia!

I know how you feel I also have dyslexia but its only a disadvantage if you let it hold you back… Just remember we know more about space then we do the human brain… My Dyslexia is based on hearing if someone talks to me I don’t remember a single word but visually I remember everything… Don’t let people put you down.

I try to tern my disabiltiy into an abiltiy, I’ve found ways to cope, I play in a band, just about to record an album.

I don’t see dyslexia as a disabilty much now, more of an advantage. The disabilitie gives me advantages in music. Therefor I’m almost happy I have it

I know how you feel, I was forced to resign from a career as a police officer because of it, and that was only a few days ago. I am so stressed and no one understands truly unless they have experienced it

The thing is your most probably a lot more intelligent than the majority of people without dyslexia, and people affected should be reminded of this more often. Ofcoure i know the pressures of acedimia can weigh you down and it can be hard to find what you truly excell in, but once that happens its a path to sucess. Theres soooo many sucessful and influential dyslexic people.

If your wernt dyslexic the way your mind works would be different. You wouldent be you.

I always found if I mention dyslexia in a job interview I never get the job and the staff doing the interview suddenly change there attitude and some Ive been told Im not fit for the job there and then!

I never get this problem if I never tell.

Why is your life different and how? What has this one word changed? Surely you have exactly the same abilities and difficulties as before? Knowing what it is called makes no difference at all. If you want help with it the look on the website for The British Dyslexic Assossiation. Loads you can do.

You could sue for unfair dismissal. That’s not legal.

I was told in high school that I would never be able to go to a university of college because the courses I was taking weren’t accepted there. I was really down on myself and felt I was so stupid because that’s what the teachers said. They all said I was stupid and slow and didn’t try hard enough. I got diagnosed in 2008/9 and auditioned for a university to study music. Now, after all those years of being made fun of by teachers/students I’m SO happy! Music is a gift that is HEARD. =)

I am dyslectic, I suffered in school, I scraped through school, I have huge problems writing this without making 40 spelling errors. (spellchecker)
I have MASSIVE problems remembering names. I am 22 years old, I have no engineering training but I can build a scale model jet engine out of scrap engine parts, no one showed me how. I always see the things other don’t, I am HUGELY Talented and I will never trade this gift for anything in this world. My dyslexia will make me famous.
