  1. The only way to be sure is to get tested.... psychologists, doctors can do it... if you are still in school, have your parents request it.... what you are referring to might be dysgraphia.  Don't panic.  With accomodations and some sound info, you can do whatever you want to do.  Trust me.  I have what you might have and have made it to law school  and graduate school.  You can do it!


  2. Dysgraphia is the term used for handwriting issues related to dyslexia.

    Signs of dysgraphia include:

    -Unusual pencil grip

    -Writing is slow and forced

    -Writes letters with unusual starting and ending points.

    -Difficulty getting letters to "sit" on the horizontal lines.

    -Copying off of the board is slow, painful, and tedious.

    -Loses place when copying, misspells when copying, and doesn't always match capitalization or punctuation when copying.

    -Unusual spatial organization of the page. Words may be widely spaced or tightly pushed together. Margins are often ignored.

    -Can have unusually difficult time learning cursive writing, and shows continued confusion about similarly-formed cursive letters such as f and b, m and n, w and u.

    -Difficulty remembering how to form capital cursive letters.

    If you have difficulty putting your thoughts into words on the paper, this is still called dyslexia.

    There is a solution to your writing difficulty.  You can learn more at http://www.dyslexia.com

  3. i am not sure.

  4. There are three different known dyslexia genes. It gets complicated quick!

  5. Do you spell the same word 3 different ways on a page?  Is it that kind?

    This is very likely a visualisation issue: good spellers have a visual word-bank in their heads which they literally read to spell things. Poor spellers may have missed out on this natural development, but most can learn it.

    The key lies in where you are looking when you try to spell something.  Ask your friends (who can spell easily) to spell something, and watch where they look.

    They (if they are good spellers) will almost certainly be looking upwards - because they are reading it off a kind of blackboard inside their head.  This is what good spellers do naturally.  If you are looking anywhere else, you might be just lacking the blackboard technique, in which case you'll need to learn it.

  6. It's called dysgraphia, and there are lots of things you can do to help yourself. I have a friend who's son is dysgraphic, and he has an IEP in school allowing him to take tests orally, use a computer to type his work, and use a note taker if needed.
