Both me and my fiance are both dyslexic, t there is a difference between us. I was diagnosed dyslexic at the age of 12 and have learned to cope with it in my own way (ie, I don't take the support), whereas my fiance was diagnosed dyslexic at the age 19, not long after she came to university and only received university support for dyslexia (which is kinda crappy).
I've learned to cope with my dyslixia, however I still get what I call "brain freezes", where mid-sentance I will forget a specific word or name of something and wont remember until a good hour or so afterwards (or until someone mentions the word themselves).
