Far from it, I clearly know you more than you.
It's no co-incidence that the people who refute the reading of books are the ones struggling. It's natural to avoid what we find difficult to deal with.
You know nothing.
You still think it's all about reading words.
Both my housemates took the test just to get a load of free stuff. They probably failed it on purpose. Both of them are very good at writing.
nothing wrong with them
You can't cheat the tests.
In my department a member of my team is a dyslexia tester and she says with everything that she knows it would be impossible to cheat.
The only help my daughter received through high school + college was that she wasn't asked to read something out loud, she's allowed to write in blue and when she asked how to spell something the lecturer had to tell her without arguing about it.
What none of doubters can comprehend is that she has lost a lot of her childhood because she would be sitting in front of a PC + books trying to piece everything together to make sense.
She would quite often sit there from 5pm until 1am doing work which a 'normal' person would take 2 hours.
She wanted to carry on like this but the Uni/College said she wouldn't cope at Uni so asked her to do the tests which took ages.
The 28 page report is quite sad and bought tears to my eyes.
However, I do agree with Dirtydog's comments about employers taking on dyslexic's.
In such a cut-throat society why should she be allowed 25% extra time over a 'normal' person?
Why should her works PC have Dragon Naturally Speaking, Inspiration and other software installed?
Why should she be allowed a scanner with OCR and convert to MP3 capabilities?
If somebody sat next to me and were allowed 25% extra time to complete I'd be pretty miffed unless they worked 10 hours to my 8 hours and didn't get paid any extra.
