If you think that you have dyslexia then getting yourself properly diagnosed is the first most crucial thing that you should be doing. As an adult, dyslexia screening tests can be of great tool for understanding the underlying causes of your problems and developing coping strategies against them.

Most people suffering from dyslexia actually remain undiagnosed well into their adulthood and thus miss out on a lot in their life. Their problems remains effectively hidden as they are endlessly told that they are not trying hard enough, too lazy, too dumb, could do better... etc. If any of this sounds familiar then you most certainly are a dyslexic and should seriously consider taking professional help.

To gain a better understanding of yourself, see if you have noticed the following symptoms in yourself:

a. A family history of learning disability with either one or both the parents having dyslexia or any other similar problem such as ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia etc.

b. Laborious speaking and gibberish writing.

c. Late learning, i.e. learning easy tasks well beyond the common age.

d. Highly distracted and zones out of reality.

e. Is either hyper active or very withdrawn.

f. Seems gifted but cannot live up to his or her potential.

g. Cannot perform in a team.

h. Cannot complete tasks on time.

i. Will hate file-work.

If you find any of the symptoms mentioned above in you then you should get yourself diagnosed by taking an online adult dyslexia test. These tests are cheap and can be taken from the comfort of your home. Also since they are designed by qualified and experienced professionals the results obtained are very accurate.

After taking the test you should approach a local psychologist who can help you in overcoming the symptoms of your dyslexia. You should know that dyslexia can be cured or completely eradicated; this is a condition which lasts a lifetime. However the symptoms that hold people back can be tackled so that the person can live a healthy and productive life.
