Hi! Thank you so much for what you have written. I had a similar situation where I had had a stroke but didn’t know until I had a tia that left me with slurred speach. I never got much follow up and now vice. Was told I was young (approx 49) and didn’t have any physical symptoms or obvious mental problems. Butidid - it turns out I have executive function issues and audio and a bit I’ve visual working memory problems and tested positive for dyslexia! If someone had explained that to me at the time I wouldn’t have struggled for2.5 years before I got the dyslexia diagnosis. Now I manage better at work and managed to keep my job. I just have long slow speech and word finding problems and stuttering when I’m tired, stressed or have a migraine. Thank you for highlighting dyslexia

my sister has dyslexia but it went undiagnosed all through school , we just thought she was a bit slow with reading and writing , on the bright side none of the family criticised her for it , we used to just check anything she needed written , our view was she was good at other things so why worry about that , me on the other hand my trick was sitting reading a book to my sister and cousin when i was 3 i coud read really early but im no genius either
