[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here.  So for those people with dyslexia who are in IT, are you able to learn code?  I think with how my child processes reading that coding would be just as difficult.  And for accounting, I know it's numbers, but there must be some words in those spreadsheets?  I want to help my child on the right path and show him some options now, especially since these days it seems the kids have to specialize and choose their careers even as they're applying to college![/quote]

For my DC, with profound dyslexia, he has learned Python at school and has done well. He is slower at the typing out of it though.

For people with dyslexia, they tend to learn the jargon they need to in their niche job.  The words become sight words.  They will still have trouble reading things that are outside of their niche, but with text to speech getting better and better, it is coming lesson an issue.

My DC is in his sophomore year of college and is majoring in math with addtional interests in physics and evolutionary biology. He gets the accommodations he needs to be able to do the work. It also helps that at his school, students typically take four classes each semester.  [/quote]
