Dyslexia is becoming an eye opener now because people are more
aware of the condition they have and willing to subject themselves to
adult dyslexia test and treatment. Years ago people will not believe
about reading and learning disability and they just tag you as slow
learner, lazy or simply not as intelligent as other kids without giving
the proper treatment. But now with the awareness of this disorder, you
and the people around you are more adept to deal with this disorder.
Although there are most cases that dyslexia are diagnosed when they are
already an adult. But now that dyslexia is openly identified as a
serious condition, you should immediately seek professional help once
you suspect that you are suffering from dyslexia signs and symptoms.
There
are many ways to know if you are suffering from dyslexia. As an adult,
it is your responsibility to identify if you have dyslexia signs and
symptoms through proper tests and evaluations. You should seek
professional help to effectively get the necessary treatment. Here are
some dyslexia signs and symptoms that would indicate you have dyslexia.
Direction
Confusion. One dyslexia signs and symptoms is difficulty recognizing
directions. It comes in many forms like difficulty in recognizing left
and right, up and down, following maps and compass and following
instructions. Directional confusion is also the reason why dyslexics
interchange letters like b and d, p and q, n and u etc. Dyslexics are
confused not only in letters but in numbers too, you may read or write
16 to 61.
Spelling Difficulties. Another dyslexia signs and
symptoms is the difficulty to spell simple and troublesome words. You
may find it difficult to spell even simple short words. Other words are
spelled the way they are spoken like please to plese, knock to nock and
search to serch.
Math and sequences difficulties. Difficulties
understanding math lessons and conceptualizing sequences is another
dyslexia signs and symptoms you must observe. It is a big challenge for
dyslexics to understand numbers in correct order or to reverse that
order. You may find it hard to count to 100 forwards and backwards. Due
to short term memory, dyslexics may also find it hard to understand
mathematical operations like multiplications and divisions.
Comprehension
difficulties. Dyslexia is not only limited to written words but in some
cases even in speech recognition. Another dyslexia signs and symptoms
you must be aware of is comprehension difficulties. You may find it hard
to retain what is said to you and may not be able to repeat the words
said to you. It is also hard for you to follow instructions or follow 3
or more procedures that you need to do.
Having these dyslexia
signs and symptoms can be a serious condition but it is not that
complicated if you immediately seek professional help and address the
problem.
