Is It Normal?
What do you think?
Dyslexic?
since i have been in second grade i have always been below my reading level. when i was in forth grade i was tested for any problems i might have but they never found any. in 5th grade they took me to speech lessons and told me i just have a dissfluency. but now im in hight school and i am so nevous when i read aloud i skip over words and combin word and add in words. i also have to read over something about three times until i can actually understand it. the page moves when i read and i cant spell for my life. I joke around about how "im dyslexic" but im serious. I researched it and about everything on the page applied to me. so i told my parents and they told me they would look at it and when they did they just laughed and told me its all in my head. i really want to get tested but no one will let me.

I'm dyslexic and dyspraxic, the way I was diagnosed was via a series of educational psychologist tests. Because of my IQ I was meant to have a reading age of 4 of my own of a non-dyslexic, but I was only average for my age. y dyslexia shows itself in my terrible short term memoery, writing speed occassional mispronunciation (I think words much faster than I can say them, my handwriting, and my spelling. I think by far the worst aspect for me is my short term memory and organization. When i was diagnosed, (at age 8), I went to a dyslexic school for three years, and by age 9 (my first year) had the reading age of a fifteen year old. If you have taken a standardised IQ test, or visited an educational psychologist, they should be able to tell you if you are dyslexic. It sounds, from what you have written, that you could be. The way to cope with it is work, and not allow yourself to become nervous, but just keep it up without getting embarassed (you have no reason to be). Im glad im dyslexic, because I've devised my own way of completing intellectual tasks which I think is fundamentally different from most other people, and allows me a totally different perspective. Usually dyslexics are also strangely good or have a unique way of handling at least one or more subjects, and we apparantly have a much stronger sense of justice (I know i do).
Well your parents suck. Tell them that if they love you they will do this for you. They shouldn't laugh at you for telling them you think you have a disorder. Tell them that too.
