Dyslexia is one of the most common learning disabilities. By some estimates, as many as one in five adults living in the U.S. have it. But it’s also very misunderstood.
Did you struggle to learn how to read as a child? Were you in special education classes in elementary
school? Do you still avoid reading things now? Do others struggle to read your writing, either because
of poor spelling or messy handwriting? Do you get your rights and lefts mixed up a lot? If you can say
yes to any of these questions, you may be dyslexic.
