[quote=Anonymous]I suspect my gifted child has dyslexia. People who meet her always suggest inattentive ADHD but it's been ruled out. The child is a disorganized mess who can't complete assignments on time, who freaks out at word problems or any writing assignments but actually has nice handwriting. Go figure! No one mentions dyslexia and I'm not Dr. but she seems like she may be dyslexic and that her IQ may be masking it. Something is off about her. No one can name it. I'm told she has slow processing and anxiety but why else would a child with a 145 IQ sounds like she can't read in the 3rd grade but have reading comprehension way above grade level. Listening to her actually read is painful and it baffles me. Meanwhile she's a math whiz. She's a classic visual spatial learner. Her reading ability or lack thereof is making her lose self esteem and she's starting to be fun of. [/quote]
