[quote=Anonymous]I am dyslexic with a dyslexic teen. I struggled through elementary school and high school (I was undiagnosed). I gradually got the hang of things in college, and knocked it out of the park in graduate school. I still can’t spell, my handwriting is pretty poor, and I have really poor working memory - I can’t remember a string of numbers, a spelling, or step by step directions to save my life. I literally have to be looking at them to use them. But give me something like an IKEA thing to put together and I do great, because while I can’t remember the next step, I understand it when I look at it, and then it isn’t about memory but actually understanding. My kid continues to struggle in school. He is probably a bit like the PP’s daughter who dislikes school because it stresses her out so much. My kid does fine when he does the work, but he hates it so much he rarely does it all. I just have to have faith he’ll figure it out. I did. I think most of them do.[/quote]
