how to get DXed with dyslexia?

Post Reply New Topic

I know I have dyslexia. I just need to know how to get it official. Should I contact the local high school and ask for an evaluation or something?

how do you know you have dyslexic.

do you get d's and b's mixed up.

I think i may have a bit, I'm a terrible speller

when I'm reading back a phone number, I get some of the numbers mixed up. I do sometimes substitute b for d and maybe p and any combinations thereto.

It's especially awkward when I'm reading the total amount due to someone at a store and it's something like $112.36, I'll say something like $116.32 or something.

yeah i think that sounds dyslexic

Get a psychiatrist to get Dxed

Why get diagnosed? For another patch on the vest of diagnoses? Just self-diagnose. Not like they have pills to adjust dyslexia that would require a diagnosis to prescribe. Not like it is a mental illness or anything - it's a learning disorder (or an info processing disorder, something like that). You don't need a doctor to figure out you have a learning disorder or info disorder.

I had to add an edit to say that I have dyslexia too, just a teeny bit. If it is not bad enough that someone reading your work notices, I don't think it is worth an official diagnosis.
