Im a 23 year old male in second year at
university. I recently done really poorly
in one of my modules, an essay. Once
going over it with my lecturer she asked
me if i was dyslexic and i replied no.
The essay was full of spelling mistakes,
even although i used the spell check,
using the wrong words at the wrong places
etc.
I really find it difficult writing essays
and thought i had aced this one. It takes
me up to a month to write an essay whereas
some of my class mates can do it the night
before its due. I write it out again and
again just changing little words. This
gets me really worked up. I cant remember
figures, phone numbers, names, places
addresses etc. I use the wrong words at
the wrong time and spend hours searching
for the write 1. When it comes to
writing, i often write the second letter
followed by the first and when talking in
public i think long and hard about what im
going to say before saying it, when i do
eventually say it it comes out wrong, i
trip my words up and stumble.
I pretty much failed school then went into
construction before realising that isnt
what i wanted to do. Two years after
enroling in college i find myself here. I
always thought that i had done so poorly
at school because i didnt try but now i
try like a bear and its so difficult.
Could i be dyslexic or am i just worrying
too much? If i am what do i do?

you very well could be. you seem to have a
lot of the symptoms. I would go to the
"Disabilities Center" at your college and
inquire about testing. If you get dx, you
could get accommodations that would make
your college life much easier such as
extended time on tests.
