I have been diagnosed with dyslexia. It mostly affects my writing (spelling, sentence construction and word blindness) and verbal processing. I never received any adequate support (this was the 80s) and when I told the careers councillor that I wanted to be an archaeologist at the age of 15, I was told to only look for careers that require a tertiary education.

2 years ago, I completed my MA in archaeology. If only they could see me now!

Getting back to dyslexia, I was very slow learning to read and write.

Even now forms do my head in. I rather dig a ditch than fill out a form.

Yes I believe I am but never got totally diagnosed officially. I was assessed and it showed I had serious traits.

Thank you. It’s a Master of Arts, a postgraduate degree. I spent a year going to college at the age of 40, then 3 years undergraduate degree and 3 years part time postgraduate degree (MA).

I’m now going to begin a postgraduate diploma in osteoarchaeology (may upgrade to a Master of Science), as I wish to specialise in bones.

Like most on this thread... it was not a think when I was at school... so learned ways to beat it... made myself read... but often have to reread whole chapters...

Spelling was and still is my enemy... as for missing whole words in emails... usually the important ones...

I am, I never knew until quite recently, I just thought I was useless. I struggled through a degree and a masters before going into teaching, it was then that I got diagnosed as dyslexic. I got by through just trying very hard to spell, use correct grammar and to read. I still make loads of mistakes and wouldn't get by without some sort of spell check.

Yes I am. I have to find words I can spell that mean the same or similar to what I'm trying to convey.

As i've got older I've come to the conclusion that if my spelling mistakes grind peoples gears it's their hard luck not mine, I tolerate these people who look down on us with dyslexia and other learning disabilities less and less by each day.

Yep, diagnosed as an adult and despite being written off at School it never held me back.

Now I have two honours degrees and work in management.

Since starting a new job a few years ago, it looks like I am on the dyslexic scale.

I don't mind it, however I do need to get all my work proof read now.
