Dyslexia diagnosis at 33?

I was diagnosed at the age of 47 when my youngest daughter was. No it didn't change my immediate life, but it did explain a lot of why I did so poorly in school. It helped explain why when I had the IQ that I have I still couldn't learn the way that my brothers and sister could, It helped me realize that it hadn't been my fault that I didn't do well in school. It made me feel better about my self and even though I read very well now it also explained why my two daughter's are also dyslexic. Learning disabilities run families. In my immediate and extended family we have found at least 15 people with learning disabilities. It will also make things easier if you ever want to go back to school, and you will know that if you ever have children that there is a possibility that they might have a learning disability. Although dyslexia is the paramount one in our family there are others and some kids have more than one. We all know now that if a child is constantly having trouble in school to get them tested to check for the possibility.

I have an uncle that is Dyslexic. For years his father treated like he was a moron, when all he had was a learning disability.

Once he discovered the problem and did something about it, his life turned around for the better. He is 70 years old now and loves nothing better than a good book or his morning newspaper.

The important thing is not to dwell on the past, but be grateful you know what the problem is and feel confident that it can be fixed.

if you've lived with it for 33 years, you're not going to want to change anything, and if you take medicine it might mess you up, I'd try it and seehow I liked it if I were you
