Hi, I'm 16 years old, and I think I'm
dyslexic. I can't really spell; although I
used to be a lot worse; and I have trouble
reading things out loud. My biggest
problem, though, is with numbers. I can't
get almost any numbers with more than two
digits in the right order. Sometimes, I
even replace the numbers I see with
numbers that are one higher or one lower,
such as: 346 might become 436, or 633, or
even 356. The point is, the number is
either all mixed up, or not even the right
number. Math has always been challenging
for me, and I'm often really frustrated in
school becasue when I get my tests back,
there are all kind of stupid errors, such
as getting the right answer, but copying
it onto the answer sheet wrong. Its become
a pretty big problem, and I don't think I
can ignore it for much longer... I wanted
to know if there was a way to make it
easier, or even try and correct the
problem somehow. If anyone has advice, I'd
really like to hear it.

Are you in school? I would go see your
school psychologist. S/he would be able to
offer some good recommendations. There are
many strategies the psych can show
you.What are your grades like??
You do have some hallmark symptoms
indicative of possible dyslexia.

mount That teacher like
Tmddyan has said had no right to do that
to you. I don't know if reporting it would
be the best thing for you to do as I don't
know you. What I do know is with an
attitude like he has, hes no place to be
teaching. A teacher should inspire and
give confidence to you not make you feel
like you are now. That is just one person.
Don't let that get to you.

Hey Posted: 03-03-08 20:25pm
i have the same feeling as you as well. i
have never been able to get my numbers
right even at work. when i have to tell
them the price Ex. say something is $1.46
i would say that it is $1.64 and then i
end up correcting myself and making myself
look stupid. i get in trouble at work for
getting things wrong or getting orders
mixed up and i feel like I'm going to be
fired. (for something i cant help)
i have been identified with an IEP. but
that doesn't help. its not just the
numbers when i read out loud i find that i
shudder and feel even more embarrassed. I
also cant spell very well and my former
best friend use to always correct me on my
spelling and tell me how bad of a speller
i am and always told me to stop reading
out loud. I also think that i can have a
form of ADD cause i cant concentrate most
of the time at school. i cant study
either.
if you need somebody to talk to i'm here
and i know what its like. i want to know
if there is a way to find out about being
dyslexic but my mom wouldn't do anything
about it even if i did bring it up.
