Dyslexia, is a challenging problem. I know first hand because my brother suffered with this problem in school and went undiagnosed until he was much older. The place to start is to have a discussion with your doctor. Share with him/her the reasons the adult has to be concerned about dyslexia. The doctor then can best determine a starting place based on the description of what is happening. Alot of things that happen medically are not necessarily an undiagnosed problem but could be something that needs immediate attention and can be corrected. So often, individuals I work with have waited too long to talk to their doctor or health care person about their concerns. This waiting leads to suffering by the individual and for some allowing an illness to progress that could have been taken care of quickly. So, whatever the issues are that makes someone want to understand and get a diagnosis please start with a healthy and honest conversation with your health practitioner. They can then refer you to the correct specialist to get the best diagnosis and corrective actions.

There are so many variations of dyslexia - many adults go through life having some or other mild form of it without ever being diagnosed. It is when it interferes with what that adult wants to do that it is a problem in which case he/she would - unlike a child - be able to give symptoms for the appropriate tests to be taken.

I was diagnosed with dyslexia 5yrs ago, i have to re-type my words sometimes as i put them or the sentences back to front, i can see i have done it afterwards, if you are an adult at university then there is someone there that can diagnose for you or ask your gp to refer you to the right person

my 8 year old daughter has dyslexia aswell as other learning difficulties. the hospital were talking about putting her on medication which i dont want,then i came across a private clinic called "dore" a man came out to the house to speak to me about it and it basiccly,beleive it or not,cures dyslexia and suchlike things. by stimulating a part of the brain by doing exercises. costs £60 a month but i am willing to pay if it helps. there was a man from dore on this morning talking about it and also adults and children who were diagnosed with certain conditions but no longer have them after doing these exercises. just type "dore" into your computer and have a look for yourself. see what you think.it is for adults aswell as children and are clinics over britain but i am not sure about other parts of the world.xx

you undergo standardised tests - word recognition, comprehension etc... your score is adjusted according to your age, and then measured against what is considered against the norm for your age. Usually the ball starts rolling at school where a teacher would have concerns and refer the child to the schools Special Educational Needs Coordinator. He /She will do some tests and if necessary refer the child on to an outside educational psychologist.

There are on-line tests you can do although how reliable they are is questionable. If you are a student, student services disability units can do the tests. If not I guess you need to go and see and educational psycologist
