Q: How Do I Get Treatment Or Education About Dyslexia

Okay, so I found out in college I was dyslexic. I am very good at reading and writing. Except I am absolutley terrible at math, even basic math like adding and subtracting I have to take longer to think about than others. Also, I can read fast but I have a hard time comprehending what I am reading and when I talk sometimes what I am thinking about what I am going to say in my head comes out backwards from my mouth. Like two words are mixed up or whatever. I have a hard time reading a clock and my lefts and rights I am always getting mixed up. My problem is I dont have insurance and have never had any sort of treatment or education on how to deal with my dyslexia and could use some advice or recommendations. Also, about the workplace. I am looking for work and found myself not applying for some jobs that I may think dyslexia might affect. So, another question is, do I let the employer know I have this during an interview or after I am hired, or how do I even mention a thing like this? I am lost at words... Sad

i totally understand you. ive known about my dyslexia since i was seven and didnt learn to read until i was eight. there are many different types of Dyslexia and even more different symptoms. you have problems with math, this is probably Dyscalula. to cut this short, Dyslexia is much more complicated than people think. id like to talk to you via email or private message on this site to tell you more. one thing you must understand is what you have problems with in terms of your Dyslexia will vary throughout your life. for a few years you may have problems mostly with math, then either gradually or very suddenly, your main problems will be with speaking or reading or any of the others.
as for your job hunt. dont tell your employer durring the interview. if you feel you have to tell him/her, i advise you only do this if it becomes a real problem. anyways, give me an email or PM and ill talk to you more and help you further.

Check out the "Am I Dyslexic" forum. I hope it helps. Let me know what happens. I'm currently in the process of getting tested and am in a confused state right now. Confused
