My teachers were always confused as to how responsive I was in class but was absolute shit at taking exams. Finishing with 2/60 was normal for me.
My private tutor would ask the same questions & I& #39;d answer nearly all correctly, which only just adds to everyone& #39;s frustration. 1/8 https://twitter.com/PulseNigeria247/status/1305536181157928961">https://twitter.com/PulseNige...

What is wrong with this boy? Does he crumble under the pressure of exams? That was their conclusion and they weren& #39;t entirely wrong. Imagine knowing no matter how much you studied, you& #39;d still fail... Woefully 2/8
My parents stopped being mad & in a way accepted that I was different despite not knowing what dyslexia is.
I still have difficulty reading & spelling. I don& #39;t read words, I mentally take a pic of the word & commit to memory, if I can& #39;t remember the picture, I can& #39;t spell it.

I have to read a material at least 3 times to understand what I am reading.
The first time to check if they are words I don& #39;t have a mental picture of.
The second time is to get the flow and the third to assimilate what I am reading.

If you can& #39;t spell, obviously writing would be a problem and it& #39;s not just alphabers, it& #39;s numbers too. I mean to write 4 but I write 7, to write 6 but write 9, 3 but write 8 or 5. Because I remember via images, you can see why this is a problem.

These numbers look alike so it& #39;s easy to mix them up.
My ex boss"You& #39;re a good writer but write faster" this was when I was a writer. Currently, i work with Data, so I deal with a ton of numbers, so you can imagine the torture of checking, cross checking & checking again.

That plus my hatred for being touched, ectreemly short attention span, laughable short term memory and my tendency to fixate on things.
