Can you suddenly become dislexic when you are a teen?

Question

all my life i have been great at english and other subjects in school (star of the class) and as i started turning 12/13 words started jumbling up every now and then and it was rather difficult to read, its strange because i can rite and spell ok but when it comes to reading its not to great anymore and my spelling isnt that good either, (this was written by my sister, i told her what to write)

please tell me what this could be because i am rather worried!! so can you get dyslexia after all those years of being perfect?

Answer 1

Maye be

Answer 2

Maybe you should go check your eyes?

Hope you'd be okay!

Answer 3

I am not a doctor but there has to be some type of brain damage.  Maybe caused by sickness or some type of head injury.

Answer 4

No.  In all seriousness, you should get evaluated for a possible neurological condition.

Answer 5

After about 5 shot glasses of vodka, anyone at any age can become suddenly dyslexic.

Answer 6

Dyslexia is the condition of having average intelligence but not learning to read with ordinary reading instruction.

If you could read well before the age of 12, you cannot develop dyslexia.  It could be that you are not a good decoder, but you had a good sight vocabulary and mastered the controlled vocabulary in your lower grade level.  As you get into the upper grades, you are introduced to more difficult materials and a lot of new vocabulary.  If you don't have good strategies for decoding, you will begin to have an increased number of problems reading.

Answer 7

most people are dyslexic in one fore or another. I'm dyslexic and did not find out to I was 21 years old. I was always at the top of my class but when I got to College and My teacher seen how I spell They told me to get tested and I did, and found out so I got help for it and I live a good life.

But first I would get my eyes tested first, and then see you Doctor and tell them what is going own it may be something eels all together.

Answer 8

To the best of my knowledge, I have never heard of this happening later in the teen years.  I would check with an eye doctor and make sure you aren't having any problems there or contact your primary physician to be sure.  I wouldn't just sit around and wonder...you may have something more serious going on.

Answer 9

Hello. being dyslexic is a brain thing. I'v been dyslexic all my life. but i wasnt diagnosed tell i was 10. but i have always had a hard time with writing and reading. To my knowledge dyslexia is not something you can just develop. And if you really think that is whats going on i would run my @ss to the doctor and get looked at.

Answer 10

Check out some websites about dislexia, but maybe you could if you maybe got an injury or something. You should talk to someone about it.  Good luck!
