I discovered I was profoundly Dyslexic when I was 40! Ended up being tested by the Dyslexia Institute. I thought it was normal not to be able to read at 13. I went on to get the highest grades in the school and run an engineering company world wide. Written off by school and others is a tough lesson, you sink or swim and its down to you no one else was gonna help, you were classed as a lazy, thick, idiot. Scrawled in red pen across your 7 hour attempt at a 30 minutes English homework SPELLING!!!!<br>If it wasnt for those teachers involved in metalwork, technical drawing, and physics Id be swinging from the rafters, not once did that school think to test my IQ which was at 125........so not thick then lol,(reply>), Not saying this didn't happen,(reply>), Ya the story didn't add up,(reply>), Lol his dyslexia popped up at the end when he said “so not thick then lol” and meant to say “not so thick then lol”
