Cloudy Future with Disabalities 6 Replies
I was diagnosed with ADD when I was 19 and Dyslexia at 25. While I struggled with reading in the 3rd grade, it all came together during my years in college and post college years. In high school I was an A-B student, but college was all so different. College was the hardest time of my life. I majored in math, which I LOVE until I had to start reading the textbooks to understand them. Because of my difficulties, I always felt it was nothing but God that got me through college. Being diagnosed at the age of 25 was my confirmation that He gave me my B.S. (to this day, I never felt as if I truly earned it). Now that I know my disabilities, I am more understanding as to why things are the way they are. However, I’m assuming because I was diagnosed so late in life, I feel as if I may be holding myself back. In a perfect world I would love to get my maters degree, however I feel I could NEVER make it in graduate school because of my disabilities. I know graduate school is mainly reading and writing: two things I am horrible at. So, I rather have kids and start a family with my husband than go back to school. I think I fear reliving my undergraduate experience and putting that stress back in my lift and now on my marriage (however I do have a very supportive husband) Also, I currently teacher and so many people see potential in me, but I’m scared to act on it because of my disabilities (that no one knows about). Are there any school administrators, counselors, department chairs out there with Dyslexia? How do you manage? What other professions are on this message board? I am just curious in knowing what success is out there for people like me.
Online Classes? 0 Replies
I need to take a class for my teacher recertification. There is a 7 week online class avaliable. Do you think I should sign up for it on take a traditional class? With me being dyslexic and having ADD, I’m nervous about taking an online class because my reading and writing skills are horrible! Has anyone out there taken an online class and how did you make out?

Dyslexia in Math? 4 Replies
I am a student in college right now and I have struggled with math all of my life. I have no other issues in learning (reading included) but when I look at math equations I have trouble understanding what it is even asking. I have never encountered someone else who has this much of an issue in math (without other learning issues), so I am reaching out to this community in hopes that someone might be able to help.
