I have for many, many years been having, though not debilitating, errors of writing and speaking that people have told me resemble dyslexic symptoms. These kinds of mistakes where I flip-flop numbers, words, whole parts of sentences (oftentimes without catching myself) have become a problem in school( I am currently doing a pre-med program) and teachers are not very sympathetic to this. I also can read a whole sentence and think I have read one word where there really is another word; this also happens when I listen to people.
My parents and friends tend to laugh this off, but I don't. I have gone to a professional vision center that did find something awkward about my reading habits but the testing that they proposed for dyslexia was way too expensive ($1500) and I am a full-time student.
I have always been drawn to the arts but I enjoy the sciences as well, but when one gets a low grade on a test its difficult to keep up the enthousiasm for the course, though the intellectual enthousiasm still burns.
Do you have any recomandations on reasonable testing sites and/or therapies that I can try on my own.
Thanx for your considerations.
