Dyslexia is becoming an eye opener now because people are more aware of the condition they have and willing to subject themselves to adult dyslexia test and treatment. Years ago people will not believe about reading and learning disability and they just tag you as slow learner, lazy or simply not as intelligent as other kids without giving the proper treatment.

Many dyslexics have been known to interchange digits, thus writing, for example, 16 as 61.
Adult dyslexia symptoms like reading and spelling difficulty is hard and embarrassing for an adult to accept. But there are ways on how to deal with it.
