My son just recently turned 15 about two weeks ago and he has always been an average student in school.
He would get mostly B's a few A's and 1 C (usually in math)
He's always been a great writer!
But recently he's been writing a little strange and is stressing out over it. It's nothing to major but its big enough to affect him in school and concern me.
He was writing an essay on a book he read and here is a random sentence I picked out of it :
"Wen he was at the atack he din't realise that it affected him so he left it bottle inside."
None of that sentence has a typo in it sadly.
He has never even shown the slightest sign of dyslexia, in fact the his teachers think hes pretty smart.
My great grandmother had dyslexia but no one else has had it.
So my questions are :
Is it normal to randomly show multiple signs of dyslexia like this?
And do you think its possible to have dyslexia for that long and only
start showing signs of it at 15?!
I'm taking him to his school then maybe a doctor to get him tested for it. I'm not exactly sure where i should take him for it but ill do some research
Thanks for your opinion and help!

Unfortunately, I believe this could be a symptom of something worse, such as brain damage (has he had an undiagnosed concussion?) or a tumor.
Although before I scare you to death, take him to a real neurologist (which I am not), and hopefully they'll give him an MRI or at least a CAT scan.
God bless!
