Dyslexic Psychology students!!!

Of course they can. They just have to be open to jokes about how ironic it is.

I was asking students with Dyslexic who are or thinking about doing psychology. Are you in that category? if not then please don't comment.

By the look of it you're lucky I even commented at all. And that was unnecessarily mean.

Why should a psychology degree be any more taxing for a dyslexic student than any other arts/social science degree?

My sister has dyslexia and has just finished a phD in it - she says it wasn't any harder than anything else would have been, but it depends on the severity of your dyslexia.

EDIT: finished a phD in psychology that is, not dyslexia .. :p:

I can't help but feel this is a very stupid thread.

Dyslexia has something to do with psychology, therefore one must not be able to do psychology if they have dyslexia. But if they took a degree in Medicine/English/Music etc. they'd be fine.

OP, are you really being serious?

Idiocy, laziness and un-intelligence is what makes someone unable. Not dyslexia.

For the record, I have dyspraxia and the Educational Psychologist who diagnosed me was dyslexic.

I know many dyslexic people who have got degrees in many different subjects. Don't worry OP, your academic ability has got you as far as degree level, so there isn't anything to suggest you will fail a degree in Psychology just because you have dyslexia.

Just because someone has Dyslexia does not mean they are not highly intelligent. I know because I'm Dyslexic. I can read people like a book and help people that can't read. I may not be the best speller but I am a really good reader. Though when I was younger I could not spell at all and reading was out of the question. So you tell me if this makes any sense, our is your brain to small to pick up simple words.
