Im like 99% sure I have dyslexia however im not diagnosed and wonder whether it is worth trying to get a diagnosis in year 12 or is there no point now?

it may be different depending on where you're from and your ski but did they just test you in school and end of. I dont want like an on going process with a big fuss

i am completly the same, im also in yr 12 and convinced i have some form of dyslexia, i know it isnt extreen dyslexia because I can read fine, but in that same reading I shorten down words so I wont have to "read" the whole word bc sometimes a word is just too long. And I am terrible at spelling and writing down my ideas in my head into a page (although that has been slightly better with me trying to write a book but education wise it is still terrible). I also told the sixth form I am at and they said I seem normal and my results are back normal, also above avarage, but I know im not at my potentioal so I dont know either. Like is it wronge for a school to be saying stuff like that? Is it not? idk if that made sence to you I can try reword it if that would help, but basically I am stuck in the exact same situation as you

I'm from Scotland, I was diagnosed in primary school so it might be a bit different. but honestly I do think it is quite a long process from what I remember you will have people coming in to talk to you and like be given tests and stuff to see your ability in sertain aspects like reading writing spelling etc

idk you would like to think that the school would offer actual support and stuff like that. maybe not like extra time as you can read fine. but still maybe coloured paper or stuff like that may help you im not sure. however im nearly the opposite I hate reading because im slow and struggle with it but my spelling is okay I get letters mixed up like I often find myself writing n/m or c/s and I always write like god when I mean dog and vice versa but idk 🤷*♀️

i completly understand with the writing part, and tbh i am not even doing ti for the extra time because I know I dont need it, but becasue I am trying to go into medicine as a career I dont want to be struggling because I never got tested you know. But then there is the factor that I am scared to get tested bc what if it comes back negative and it just turns out im stupid😭. Honest I feel like school should provide more for kids because its so difficult

honestly I was talking to my friend earlier saying imagine if its negative and they say im actually just stupid. likewise I wanna go into medicine/ pathology but in gases I was very very average I got 5s a 6 and a 7 so recon that's out the window but delusion is telling me if I do well in alevel and have good work experience gcses won't matter too much 😬. but im so scared ab it being negative cuz like what happens then? literally nothing other than I've just been told im stupid🫣

this is my exact fear, and i know it is so mental to think this way but its litteraly my mind set because what if i am just stupid. although i do suspect i have some form of adhd too i just dont knowww.
