i only found out i was dyslexic when i was 21, in a way i'm glad i never knew as a kid as i may have used it as an excuse for doing badly.
But i'd have prefered that to being called lazy and lacking effort!
But when i found out i was dyslexic i got some help in a few important areas that have really improved.Check out Hambly Motorsport

I navigated for a couple of guys who would quite often set the car up to go the wrong way at intersections. I got around it by saying 'other left' or other right' when I felt the car being setup the wrong way for the corner. They got a bit worried because usually when I said it, my head was down.

you go through a series of tests involving reading writing and visual skills. This like reading articles and then being asked questions on it, writing a paragraph of you own choice, reading speed tests, visual tests on remebering items on cards to test short term memory. Basic numeric tests. Co-ordiation tests. telling the time of an anologue clock! and many other things i've forgotten about!
The last test I had took two hours and at then end i felt pretty stupid at how bad i was at some of the tasks!Check out Hambly Motorsport

Dyslexia is most common in males, just as a point of interestRIP Malcolm ;( Hope you have an audi quattro up there.
