How do people you work with treat you after they know your Dyslexic?
Does your bosses make a big deal about you having a learning difference?
Do you catch people talking behind your back?
Those are just a few questions that come to mind. There are tons more that impact Dyslexic people in the work place. Its hard enough dealing with our differences, to then have to deal with dumb-ass people making jokes or name calling us. I personally have been impacted by this in the work place. In my career before I went back to college, I was required to write huge investigative reports with no way to proof-read my writing. One of the biggest issues with writing with the way Dyslexia effects me, is I can not proof-read my writing. I see exactly what my mind wanted to write instead of what is actually on paper. Weird, and I'm not sure if other Dyslexic people have that same issue?! Never asked other Dyslexics about that, It would be interesting to find out.
I remember people I worked with saying I heard the boss laughing at what you wrote, he said a 3rd grader could have done better. I even remember being written up for me not being able to write the way they wanted me to write. So here is what I have to say about all those people in my life that laughed and made fun of me. Kiss my ass!
