Dear Devin;

I am not sure how to go about answering you question however I can tell
you my son and I have similar symptoms noted below. I have just ordered
a book titled "The Gift of Dyslexia" which was highly recommended to me.
I have not read the book as of the writing of this email however it is
very high on my list of things to do.

Richard.
