Dyslexia refers to any reading difficulty not associated with obvious problems (such as bad eyesight). Dyslexias include the inability to name letters, to read words or sentences, or to recognize words directly even though they can be sounded out. Dyslexia is not limited to reversing the order of letters in reading or writing; it may, for instance, include unexpected...
Are you getting help for your dyslexia? It's a long road, but it can help.
English is a tough language as it is, and when you see block test instead of letters in a word, it's frustrating. Sometimes I look at a word and don't recognize it. It's just a bunch of lines going this way and that.
Hope things are better for you now with her.
and when i cant i get so frustrated by it.
ive had a few people snigger at me in the past
some of them were english teachers ,i wasnt in class or anything
they were out side of work.people i knew.
also problems here and there in the real world when ive just looked dumb.
in the end she didnt make a big deal out of it.
really thought it was the start some big drama.
at least now if i want to back out of a difficult situation around her i can.
i only help myself,cant really get any help so i fix things myself when i see a way.
i see to much pattern in block text ,i get lost so easy
dont know if other people get that
i see the gaps a lot
so its alot like this.....if you look at the squares
its just a crazy code all over the page

I'm glad she is understanding about it. I think most people don't see us as any different than everyone else, except a few idiots out there who don't understand or care to understand. (like the teachers you talked about) I'm sorry they made you feel self-conscious.
Perhaps getting some help would help with your self-confidence, not to mention your reading. If you have insurance, a lot of insurances cover that sort of thing. It might be worth a look at.
in its way .
.it was good to have a reaction that was nice for a change.
there are still times where im left with a pen in my hand in front
of people feeling like im on ice that will breake
even if i think i knoew the word panic sets in that i am wrong
self confidence itsnt good at all when in text
dont have any kind of insurance .
reading i have found a strange loop hole in the text
if i ram the words into my mind eg read the text at an impossible speed i can pick up quite a lot off it ,in sort of crazy over flow
very odd
Sweetstar- I like your picture. I had dyscalculic as well. Math? Forget it. I still count on my fingers. :)
Well, we can say whatever doesn't kill us makes us stronger, right?
