The big day has arrived - I'm off to get my long-awaited dyslexia assessment at the age of 49, ahead of the start of term at university where I'm due to enroll on an MA Music. I take myself off on the train to Dyslexia Action in Swansea, South Wales. I get lost going there and back, but at least I made it.

Isn't it frustrating how much school misses. My son started his Masters degree only to have to stop because of difficulties. Turns out he's had ADHD all his life . Apparently a lot of people only pick things up such as Dyslexia and ADHD at a higher level because in my son's lecturers words you can't wing it anymore. He had to get his diagnosis privately and medication and restart another year for his Masters. He's been able to get special things for disabilities too.

The relief of knowing! It will help with the next Degree just knowing, not to mention the extra help. Thank you for the video.

It’s good that now you know Imo. And you will get the help and benefits that you’re entitled to. X

I'm playing catch up. Oh not nice having pain in your knee. Glad you got help finding your way out, through the wee staircase 😆

@joannedavies4958 10 дней назад

I live in Neath area and work in Swansea. I’m familiar with that car park. 😂 Yes it stinks of wee. I was getting anxious watching the video… but you can’t hear me shouting ‘no! Don’t go back, you need to go down to the bottom of those stinking stairs!’ 🤣 I’m glad you finally have your dx now. I think it makes a difference to know for definite if your have a neurodivergence… you’ll have to learn the lingo now lol. Normal people = neurotypical. Those with dyslexia, dyspraxia,ADHD etc = neurodiverse… or as a nickname neuro spicy. X

I'm glad you confirmed the dyslexia. That should help you in University. Cheers

I would say get your dsa application in asap, it can take ages to get sorted. My son had problems getting Student Finance Wales to accept his evidence, even though it met all their requirements. Once that was sorted, the process was easy and provided some fantastic software that has made a massive difference to his learning. It amazes me the difference in support for Uni students, if only the software was made available sooner in the education system it would change young peoples outcome in education. Goid luck with it all X

Hi I had an week long dyslexia assessment in the 70's in a private hospital in London which the NHS paid thanks to a good GP. ( I lived in Surrey at the time) Hospital said I should go to Millfield School as they had a whole house of dyslexics. My parents asked the LEA to pay the education fees and my parents said they would pay the boarding fees, but LEA said no, so I went to a local private day school which took 2 dyslexic a year. I was there for 4 years till we moved to Wales. 1993 I went to college they said the assessment that I had in 1973 was too old so THEY paid for another one, also when I requested a copy and a copy of the old one too they did, as long I didn't let anyone else use it. The diamond test was a big fail for me, I still to this day can not do jigsaws, I can read but like you I am slower, but I knew that. Something I was told at the last assessment, I had not realise, but makes sense . Because somethings are more challening for dyslexics we tirer easier. ( I am 10 years older than you.)

Late dx ADHDer here. I'm most likely Dyspraxic too. My kids are dx with ADHD and Dyspraxia. I'm intrigued that you have found learning to drive anxiety making. It's probs linked. You may find you are on a neurodivergent spectrum too. Hence the curating of your lifestyle. You will manage this course. You have tenacity and wisdom. You will find a way. The DSA is pretty good you can get study coaches and all sorts. I'm assuming your daughter did the ax process before she went? It takes a while to get all the stuff through though.

@howareyou857 10 дней назад

I struggled learning to drive and although I have been doing it for over 30 years..I loathe it only do it out of necessity

@theshaulfamily 10 дней назад

I was holding my breath for you on them carpark stairs haha I am so glad you have got your diagnosis ,so you can get everything you need in place at uni and in day to day life ❤

@rebeccacorser-wallace9885 10 дней назад

Knowing you're dyslexic must really help. I was diagnosed as a child. It took me a long time to feel confident to say it. I was definitely treated like I was stupid at time at school.

@TheThriftyGma 10 дней назад

You turn being lost into an adventure. Myself, I would have been triggered, and set myself into an anxiety episode. I have a deep rooted fear of being lost.. not sure why, but I've always been like that since a child. When hubby and I go somewhere, and I need to use the washroom, he knows to stay put, and not wander around, as I will have a "small" meltdown if I can't find/see him. I know it sounds so weird, but it is so real too. Am happy for you that you got the results of being dyslexic, and hopefully it will make things easier for you as you go to uni. It was sad listening to you talk about your feelings and how you felt inept as a child. :(

@Helen-tz5ue 7 дней назад

Must be good to know after all those years Imo. I’m 56 so a little older than you but teachers were so cruel back then, I suffered from extreme shyness and got constant criticism at school.

@cerithomas2032 10 дней назад

Glad you got your diagnosis and can get some extra help at uni .you were probably good at the diamonds cos you do a lot of jigsaws x

There's years of a waiting list for ASD and ADHD as well. I only got my daughter assessed by getting social services involved, who had the power to bring her appointment forward. I wish I had my diagnoses as a child. Good luck with yours. My brother is dyslexic.

As well as applying for DSA, you need to register with your university's student support service, so that you can also get extensions to assignments etc if needed. With DSA I think you will get a laptop, printer (and your printing costs covered), Dragon software, and a study skills tutor. I'm not dyslexic myself, but I am neurodivergent in other ways and thanks to the support I was given I managed to gain distinctions at degree and master's level (whilst in my 40s). Overall, my advice is to go with the flow and work WITH your brain, rather than AGAINST it. Advocate for what you need to be successful

My job is to advise students about how to access disability support and DSA. Get your DSA form sent in as soon as you can as it can take a while. Your university will have disability services support that can help with this.
