Dsylexia

Hi
Just thought I'd ask if there are any late diagnosed dsylexics out there? I was diagnosed at 36, but always kind of guessed I was maybe borderline. Turns out I am a classic case.

Getting support at work and uni now which is good. Seems I put myself under a lot of undue stress for many years. It's like "coming out" again. I'm telling everyone. Irish and dsylexic tho', think of the mileage of jokes you can get with that ;o)

Would be good to hear of anyone elses experiences in the workplace, etc.

Hi Colin

How did you hear about your dyslexia?

I have often wondered as I find certain tasks more difficult that they should be and getting words and phrases mixed up.

I have never been an intellectual academic type but not too stupid and often make basic errors. I would be interested to find out whether I have a mild form or, as my wife would suggest just thick : )
