Dyslexia in Adults

It is estimated that 1 in 10 people have dyslexia. Nowadays people are more aware of this disorder and children are better diagnosed during childhood than they used to be. Indeed, many adults with reading and writing difficulties throughout their entire lives still have never heard of dyslexia. Adults with dyslexia unaware of their disease is usually the worst-case scenario. Even if they have normal or above-average intelligence, it is more likely that at some points in their lives they have been considered stupid or bad at school.

Treating dyslexia starts with using educational tools to enhance the ability to read. The earlier dyslexia is recognized and addressed, the better. If left untreated, the disorder may lead to a number of problems, such as low self-esteem, behavior problems, anxiety, aggression, and withdrawal from friends, parents and teachers. The inability to read and understand can prevent children from reaching their potential as they grow up and can have long-term educational, social and economic consequences as they become adults.

Adult Dyslexia

Most adults with dyslexia try to hide their disorder because they are ashamed of their mistakes. While these people go to therapists, usually they do not get many results because it is difficult to reach the root of the problem: diagnosing dyslexia in adults.

Dyslexia is not related to intelligence, but to the way the brain processes information. This is the reason oftentimes people with this disorder tend to better sharpen their senses, and develop higher levels of intelligence, strategic vision and creativity.

Symptoms of Dyslexia in Adults

Though early intervention is beneficial for dyslexia treatment, it's never too late to seek help. However, diagnosing dyslexia in adults is more challenging. Doctors investigate the adult’s genealogical history to find evidence of dyslexia running in the family and ask questions about school years too. The symptoms in adults are similar to those in children.

Here is a list of some common dyslexia symptoms in adults:

  • Difficulty reading, including reading aloud.
  • Trouble telling left from right.
  • Trouble with word problems in math.
