To read a great personal account by an
adult diagnosed with dyslexia later in life, check out, I
cried with relief to hear I was dyslexic. Derry Ann Morgan, 48, says,
"I couldn't concentrate, and I had terrible trouble learning my spellings
and tables. I was a nervous child. I took everything seriously, and I was
desperate to succeed. But the harder I tried, the less well I seemed to
do."
Her children show signs of dyslexia too
but now she feels better able to advise them, "The children are brilliant
in their way. They see the world differently, but the disability creates
ability in other ways. Gary has phenomenal spatial skills. He's brilliant at
making things, as is Niall. And Emma is a wonderful artist."
