<p>As I usually do, I agree with Poetgl re: Mitdu’s situation. For the most part, and as a parent of dyslexic, they are highly intelligent and their LD shows itself in specific types of situations, especially as the child grows older and learns to compensate for many of the issues. The dyslexia on top of the experience of heading off to college will definitely require another adjustment (on top of all the ones dyslexics make along the way from elementary through high school.) My son is comfortable with his LD, but as he grows older I’ve noticed he is inclined to want to “hide it” and resist help that is available to him as he doesn’t want to be classified as “dumb” when clearly he is not. The Disability office at the school may be able to help him with his personal concerns regarding that aspect also. Oh a lighter note, I’ve not yet met a high IQ dyslexic without other issues that isn’t highly social and gregarious…this can be a problem in and of itself in college. Not sure if the highly social + dyslexia is a research proven theory but it is this mom’s theory LOL.</p>
