[quote=Anonymous]My 9 year old ds has a similar profile op.  I understand the anxiety but it’s not necessary especially about a career etc.  dyslexia is in many ways a superpower and you have described your son as bright and curious.  That’s great.  He sounds like he has many strengths which will serve him well.

Direct your energy towards one thing right now - remediating his dyslexia and getting him on grade level or above.  That’s it’s.  Find a school that can do this. I’m not in the DC area but my ds attends a dyslexia specific school. Only dyslexics - no other learning profiles.  He is making good progress towards remediation.   This is my ds third school.  Started local public then moved to an another public in district with a dyslexia program (did not move the needle for a profile of more severe double deficit dyslexia).   Now our second year at a specific private for dyslexia.  Yes it’s tough socially to move but I bet your ds will adapt quickly.  Plus their confidence will skyrocket once they don’t feel stupid in the classroom - because they aren’t!  They are quite bright but need a lot of support to get up the curve with reading and writing.

You are doing a good job. The road isn’t easy but it’s doable and your ds will be able to thrive.  [/quote]
