I have dyslexia, but it wasn't actually diagnosed until college. So I learned to live with it and have never gotten any real help. I think I probably also have Auditory Processing Disorder. I also really only know what I know about it because of the internet. I did well in school and always tested really high in standardized tests and actually read above grade level, so I don't think anyone thought to test me for any learning disabilities. When you look up the symptoms of it though, I have every single one of them - phonetic issues, spelling, can do complex math, but mess up a simple part in the middle, difficulity remembering things, etc. What I worry about now though is my almost 5 year old son will occasionally write and read backwords. Like completely backwards. He will sometimes write his name as SALOHCIN (nicholas) with some of the letters turned backwards and some not or will see the number 17 and tell me its 7 and 1. I really don't know what to think about this. He is only in preschool, but do you think I should have him checked for learning disabilities? He is actually advanced in most areas, but so was I.
