Hello, I’m Rebecca, I am dyslectic and I’m currently doing masters in psychology. I have struggled a lot since I was a child, but even if it’s been a bumpy road for me I am grateful that I am writing a thesis about Dyslexia and I need more people like me! But as you know lots of us live their life without even knowing we are dyslectic at all and endure so many difficulties throughout our lives and I would like to change that one day. My thesis is about Dyslexia and Creativity. If you would like to help me with my thesis, please click the link below and do the survey. It’s good be with people who are like me! Thank you so much!

Sorry, but I'm really confused about the questions and who is supposed to complete the survey. Is this about family members who are dyslexic or oneself? If it is about a family member, why wouldn't they be filling in the questionnaire themselves?

Anyone who has or has not dyslexia are welcomed to fill this survey. I just need people who are older than 18.

Hi I'm 19 I struggled all my life I read and looked at all the symptoms regarding dyslexic. At the age of 19 I'm finally getting a test privately as it has messed with my head knowing if there anything wrong with me. But I will be finding out this year.

Hi Rebecca,

Congrats that you are the university!! This is inspiring!! Your survey confirms my dyslexia/etc is not a bruised or black sheep of the family. I got this from my family as they are in their own way. You helped me identify something that they overlooked. Because they are disguised in a different way.....My dad is a civil engineer. My mother is a teacher in home ec/bachelor of science. My sister is a kinesiology degree. Other sister is a creative writing in political science degree. I am the dyslexia with mental illness in fine arts (design/drawing and painting/art therapy) with home economic, creative writing, and music interest background that I will be going back to university soon. I didn't find out til it was too late now but I am the oldest. I put myself through college which helped out!! at first with a business diploma. I am the oldest that I feel is the late bloomer as I experience childhood sexual abuse and emotional/mental bullying by peers and family with schizophrenia/schizoaffective thorough learning disabilities. I feel that I might have ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, and synesthesia. Yet I excel in school in one subject (art) that pulled me through but I was put into special needs because my English at grade 13 was at a grade 7 or 8. I was devasted that I took a year off but I got into the best art school. Yet I dropped out as I needed to work on my skills, my maturity, my psychological problems, and my calling!! If you would like to contact me, email me at lisaramos2@hotmail.com.
