My lovely OH is severely dyslexic,this affects his memory,his confidence,his speech,he can "read" by picking key words to make sense of a sentence,cannot spell,he has coping strategies,and always held down a job until we both where forced through circumstances to give up work,at 39 he (And I but Iam 59) are trying to get back into work,it isn't going to happen anytime soon .
Essex did not recognise dyslexia,mainly I believe because it would cost them .
My lovely OH is intelligent,intuitive,and perceptive.
Not enough is understood about the condition,it is not just about mixing up letters,employers,and colleges that OH has been involved with have belittled,and treated him like an idiot,he has had to fight to get the 2NVQs that he is proud of only to be told they are not enough to secure a job for him,so who holds him while it eats away into him while he believes he is a failure,my lovely brave caring manxxxnellie
