Dyslexia - what's the best sources on this and how does one approach recognising if this is an issue for them? Also, does anyone know any key points in regards to the relationship between dyslexia and bipolar?
I'm hoping to get into post graduate studies and just want to confirm if all the difficulties I have had throughout life is due to dyslexia or just bipolar in general. I want to get this info sorted before I start a class so I can get disability services working for me from the get go! |

Oh screw everything. I love not having 200 bucks to see my pdoc just so I finally have someone to talk to and I can't even stand talking to him. Sigh.

I don't know about best sources, but it's pretty easy to find a list of symptoms and an online quiz (Google "testing dyslexia" or something similar), which would give you some sense of whether to pursue it further.
Are you already accepted to a program, or still planning applications? If it's the former, you can probably contact the university about what their requirements/recommendations are for their Office of Disability Services. They may even be able to offer referrals (local to that area, most likely, but it's a place to start). If you're still planning applications, then I'm not really sure where you would start - a pdoc would be one option, but there are probably others. You might be able to make a call to the pdoc's office just with the question about getting tested for dyslexia and get a referral without anything complicated, but it obviously will depend on your pdoc. Since dyslexia is a learning disability, it seems like that's usually handled through various complicated educational system stuff, rather than various complicated mental health system stuff, but I might be completely wrong on that! I didn't find any good quality resources on a link between dyslexia and bipolar, so it looks like either it's not been investigated much or maybe there's not much of anything there. It could just be lousy luck to have the two conditions!

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
