We finished the testing for dyslexia, or rather, cognitive problems, and I got the results. Although they can't just give me a certificate and say I have dyslexia; the tester said that I have a cognitive disability. But, to sum it up, I have trouble with my auditory memory; a portion of the working memory. In the test part it had been people on a tape saying numbers and I have to repeat them backwards. Gods that was hard. It also effects remembering things and following recipes.
But I'm glad its over. I was so nervous when my teacher was talking to my parents about that. I almost went inside (we were playing baseball) and into th tester's room, just to hear what they were saying.
The teachers also thought it was pointless 'cuz it doesn't really influence the marks I get, or at least it doesn't seem too, but who knows, I might have some hidden power waiting to be released. We would only know until I crack this barrier.

- I am a teenage girl who is hoping to go into Psychiatry once I get through my Art School. Because of my interest with the brain, I was able to find things wrong with myself and managed to set an examination with a counselor. I was diagnosed with a Learning Disability which I think may be Dyslexia. My mother may have Asperger's but once she mentioned it to a psychiatrist he laughed in her face (he thought she would be nearly incapacitated if she had it) and thus couldn't get tested. I am also in the process of writing an autobiography which is about the years I lived on various Native Reserves (I'm white) and a fantasy book I've had in my head since I was 11. I also have unhealthy obsession with Japan, and often hang out with friends that either cosplay or dress in Gothic Lolita. I read tons of manga, and love Asian guys :D Wish me luck...I'm out in the world just opening my eyes.

Ian has learning disabilities as well. Because of that, when he was in high school and university the Office for Persons with Disabilities gave him extra time and a quiet environment in which he could write exams.
So having a diagnosis of dyslexia or learning disabilities can help you, later on. It's not getting special treatment - it's leveling the playing field so that you can shine as much as possible in spite of the learning disability.
