or work as a research assistant in Educational Psychology?
I love research especially in the areas of Dyslexia and Autism.
I can read fine and have my own method of reading,but do you think it's possible.I have been to uni before and found it impossible to structure and do things academically,write essays- I did'nt know I was dyslexic at the time though.

I have mild dyslexia and one of my best subjects in college, besides art, was general Psychology. I aced the class. As long as this is what you want to study then go for it. As long as you want to do something Dyslexia can not stop you no matter what it is. It may take a bit longer for you to do the research, write the paper or input data in the computer but you can do it and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

While it is true that "nothing" is impossible and many people with disabilities are able to make their way through college and careers, everyone is different because of their motivation and capabilities. Since you said that you found it "impossible" to structure and do things academically and write essays, you're probably going to feel the same way, if not worse, in a Masters Degree program, where writing and organizational skills are paramount. Set your goals at a realistic level.

My partner is dyslexic and i know several people who have the condition as well. What I have found among dyslexic people is that their brains work differently to those who are literate. He needs to do something manual and creative. So for example; carpentry and woodwork is great, art and sculpture is good, hairdressing, chef, construction, crane driver, fork lift driver, warehouse work, horticulture and so on. He is probably acting out because he feels stupid. Most dysleic people think other people think are they stupid because they cant read well. Writing and reading is really a massively new concept in the grand scheme of evolution of humanity and I strongly believe that people think in different ways. He needs to be able to create something or build something so that he can build his self esteem and find something to be passionate about. Whatever that is he needs to decide, but you can help him along by introducing him to work related activities that are not related to writing, studying, computers etc. Sales is extraordinarily boring - he sounds like he needs something more that he can invest himself into. Good luck.

Absolutely. I personally know of several people with dyslexia who have/are working in psychology and/or education.
In fact, there are no areas--academic majors--for which dyslexia would be a serious problem. Go for whatever you want.

I know a man with a Doctorate in Psychology...he has a private practice. It took him a very long time to get through school and he wound up diagnosing his own dyslexia! I have a good friend who went through the Master's program with me...he asked for his assignments on the first day of class and then he'd get cracking on them...he'd finish early and ask one of us to sort of proof it for him. He worked harder than all of us and we were so proud of him when he graduated right along with us.

Hey, I think it is really cool that you wanna study in pyscology. I don't think that you should give up what you wanna do just cuz you have a problem. Well, sure it is a big one, but everyone has to overcome big problems. If you really want to do it then, DO IT. If you feel like you have the willingness to do it than go for it. Don't give up. You know you can do it.

You might be able to study better knowing your disability.
Also you might be able to wear glass to correct the problem and make it easier for you.
Have you thought about studying part time doing a few subjects at a time.

Sure, there's no reason they can't study what they want to. They just need to learn how to deal with dyslexia.

It depends on the determination of the person a disability doesn't mean inability,
