[quote=Anonymous]My son is in 4th grade, and was diagnosed in 1st. He has always been open about his dyslexia, and will tell people about it if asked. It was very empowering for him to know what was causing his difficulties and then tell people "yeah, my brain works differently than most people's. X is hard for me, but I really like doing Y." Now in 4th it comes up a lot less, as his reading is now within the normal range. But there are still isolated skills that he struggles with (reading out loud, memorizing math facts) that is still helps to be able to say "its going to take me more time to master that." Socially it has been a total non-issue. I think there are social implications to disclosing ASD or ADHD, but not dyslexia. Since it impacts just learning and not behavior I think there is very little stigma.[/quote]
