Scared

My mom thinks that i have dyslexia
it would explain alot in my life
and for the first time in a long time the goddess is scared really scared
I have included some infomation that i found on the web:

'Dys' means 'difficulty' and 'lexia 'means 'words'. Dyslexia affects millions of people all over the world. It is a highly visual spatial learning style that affects a person's abilities to think with symbols and words, therefore affecting reading, reading comprehension, spelling, writing and sometimes math. Dyslexics are right brained visual-spatial learners.
For some, the term dyslexia conjures up thoughts or images of a disability, a disease, or a deficiency. Many people have this misconception about the condition of dyslexia. They therefore dismiss the notion of dyslexia as having any relevance to themselves simply because it implies a deficiency that one has, or a ‘deficiency’ that one is unwilling to take ownership of. It is none of these things!
A dyslexic is very intelligent and learns best in ways that facilitate his/her highly visual learning style. Dyslexia is a perceptual distortion that occurs within the visual cortex of the brain when the person is exposed to words (or symbols) that they find difficult or impossible to conceptually visualize.
Traditional teaching methods don’t often enough provide curriculum or methods to adequately address these visual learning styles. Therefore, the dyslexic’s experience with learning sustains their difficulties with concentration, perception, memory, verbal skills, abstract reasoning, hand-eye coordination, social adjustment (low self-esteem is a commonly observed behavioral characteristic), poor grades, and underachievement. Sometimes people with Dyslexia are considered to be lazy, rebellious, class clowns, unmotivated, misfits, or of low intelligence. These misconceptions, without understanding dyslexia's effect on the person's life, lead to rejection, isolation, feelings of inferiority, discouragement, and low self-esteem.

I know that I would have known earlier. When I was 7 the doctors thought that I had a brain tumor
because I would confuse my d w/b and I would write other letters backwards. I didn't know this until last year... my parents said that they werent sure that I had a brain
I am technically not dyslexic, I have most of the symptons because of the way I learned to read.
