Hello. Have you asked your GP? I am not sure if you are looking for assessment of learning difficulties such as dyslexia or learning disability. If your GP is not sure then there are often learning disability professionals they the GP can ask, or give your their number so you can ask. Also you could pay for an assessment. Not everyone can afford this as it can cost a lot. There are often private psychologists in your local area. You would need to look on the internet. Make sure they are registered with the Health and Care Professionals Council. You can check on their website. I hope you find someone to help you with this.

Hello

I agree with @lolo - please do talk to your GP about this.

If you could also call our helpline so they can have a chat with you, and find out what other support you might be able to get. Find out more about our helpline here - mencap.org.uk/advice-and-su...

Best wishes

Try googling "learning disability services" most areas, if not all, in England have a service, many of which accept self referral, this is certainly the case in Lancashire & South Cumbria
