Dyslexia is a term applied to a wide range of neurological "data processing" that most problems in particular (and usually) are manifested in problems with reading. Therefore, the word "dys" (not functional) "Lexia" (which has to do with the written word and reading). This article is about dyslexia symptoms. 

Today almost all public school systems screen students for dyslexia, which affects 10 to 15% of children of school age. But those of us who entered the school system before you understand dyslexia and began testing it, confused along the best he could, by being "different" 

Not being able to understand, make sense and to handle and deal with words and numbers as well as our colleagues, those of us with symptoms of dyslexia in general had a tough time of it. Dyslexics are labeled as "students with learning difficulties" or "lazy, does not apply himself" or "a little dense." 

When our turn came in the class to read aloud, laughed at, ridiculed, and it hurts. Most dyslexics ended with a low self-esteem as a result. 

Today one of the main symptoms of dyslexia in adults is low self esteem. In a list of symptoms of dyslexia then we could put a low self-esteem as a primary indicator. 

Next on the list would be sub-standard acquisition of reading skills. Adults with dyslexia usually try to hide their reading problems by not reading much. They can also spell bad writing and avoid things. Although, many of adults have excellent in creative skills and which may seem to have a phobia against reading and writing. 

Another symptom of dyslexia is that adults with dyslexia may have difficulty concentrating, can often be restless, have problems with short-term memory, and may seem confusing at times. 

Another witness or telltale symptom of dyslexia is underemployed. Many adults with dyslexia are employed in jobs that appear to be below their intelligence and abilities. This because they may have trouble finding a more suitable job because of his dyslexia based inabilities. 

This, of course, tends to lose more self confidence and self esteem. All this tends to make a dyslexic person feel inadequate, isolated, rejected, and have low self-esteem and low confidence in themselves. (See "... the leading dyslexia symptoms ...” supra). 

Other common symptoms among adults with dyslexia are that it can take time to read and understand a book, stop reading some words or lines (and avoid reading and writing). They may have problems with the sequences of steps or events, problems with taking notes, and / or difficulties in time management. 

All dyslexic problems described above can be overcome. They should not be allowed to hold the sufferer's back. The other side of the "currency of dyslexia" is the extraordinary ability demonstrated by many dyslexic people. 

A simple test for dyslexia could identify any problems a person may be dyslexic, which would be the first step to overcome these problems. This could put them on the right path to success and happiness and to achieve their full potential. 

If you or someone you know has any combination of the above symptoms of dyslexia, would be a good idea to at least take a selection test to confirm or deny the possibilities. 

In any case, you do not know for sure unless and until the person with dyslexia may have a dyslexia test for measuring aspects of dyslexic possibilities. You see, no two dyslexics are exactly the same symptoms. Thus, simple screening tests, with the aim of the masses, they can lose many important details.
