well i just had my test for dyslexia yesterday as the assessor had that i have a strong possibility so waiting for results, as by the way i am 48 years old.

so i am going to change my ways soon for the better

There is nothing wrong with your ways. If you have Dyslexia your brain is just wired differently. We would not have such a variety of people contributing to the world if we didn't have Dyslexics. Reading and spelling are a new skill introduced to the brain and not natural like speaking. Your Dyslexic assessment should show you strategies to support your weaknesses using your strengths. Technology will also help level the playing field and allow you to express your ideas. Please don't loose all your ways as I suspect the world would then be a more boring place!!

Thank you for advice so maybe I had said it wrong as what I mean that to improve my skills by using different ways unless you suggest any ideas? Thank you

That's very true. We all have great things to offer - and the rest just requires a bit of support and careful handling. I wonder if you enjoyed or hated the dyslexia tests?

Alright Scoobie Matt, I'm Velma ( you know ...My glasses, My glasses Im dyslexic, erm nope, yep, that's all I have to say. Profound! Most definitely.

Oh except... if you pass and are dyslexic! Me and a shaggy looking bloke, a super smart looking couple (Daphne and Freddie) and a great dane are going to a haunted hotel to workout whats happening, do you want to tag along?

You know Dyslexia is the new black right ....

[Hidden in reply to CarolineLondon]

oh you both are super smart! so what is scoobie then? well i get my nickname from ex brother in law as i always sound like scoobie when first answer the phone call, as now like mates now.

let see my results first then it's a new game for me?

so you like haunty things? well me and my lady do like those hautie programmes on tv. so where's the haunted hotel?

[CarolineLondon in reply to Hidden]

Sorry I didnt realise you didn't understand the reference. I thought you were Scoobie Matt because of the programme Scooby Doo.

The image of me, here by my name is of a Character in Scooby Doo called Velma.

The team in Scooby Doo consist of Scooby Doo the great dane, whose a coward, his friend Shaggy (a skinny surfer dude) whose also a coward, Velma, Freddie and Daphne.

Each week they solve a problem often a haunted house or hotel. It has always been rigged by the hotel Manager who wants to make money by buying the hotel cheap cos everyone is too scared to stay there and then selling the property for a big profit to developers. The team always catch him out, at which point he ALWAYS says ...."I would have done it too if it wasnt for you pesky kids"...lol.

This happens EVERY series, it's a kids cartoon...lol.

So sorry no haunted houses for you, but look up the programme online. If your Mrs (partner) looks like Daphne dont blame me if there are some strange goings on in the hotel up the road from you...lol.
