My youngest boy is dyslexic. He started first grade without being able to read at all. He now reads well above grade level and is in the 92% percentile for reading ability. His school gave him 30 minutes a day of extra reading tutoring, using a reading specialist.

One of my brothers is a PhD candidate in chemistry and dyslexic. He does drug research. He has had a couple of papers named "most important" for the year that they were published. He is developing non-narcotic drugs for pain relief and for regrowing cartilage in joints.  He is extremely successful and yes, he reads fluently. (His handwriting is a whole other thing.  :lol: )

My other brother is dyslexic  a programmer who has done a lot of work in bleeding edge technology. He has a BA and an MS in Computing and Information Systems. He is brilliant and creative and has worked on stuff that you use all the time. Yes, he reads fluently.

My dad is a dyslexic. He built a $10 million a year construction business from scratch. He reads fluently

OP, I highly recommend that you read a book called "The Dyxlexic Advantage." It might help allay some of your fears. [/quote]
