[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 539138, member: 1550"] Thank you very much, but it comes from experience. I was very verbally astute and gifted in some creative areas. I could always ace an interview and get hired. But then the boss would wonder why it took me a long time to catch on or wonder why I couldn't remember things well and had to take slow, long notes. I was mistake prone too. They don't cut you any slack at work unless you are coming from the Dept. of Vocational Rehab (which I highly recommend). They help young adults with disabilities get jobs and the workplace is aware that the person may need extra help, whether it is more time or a job coach. My son is going through DVR. I love them. You may want to look them up...there is probably stuff about your local Dept. of Vocational Rehab on the internet. She may be less resistant to a place like that. She can also take one course while she is working at least part time. Maybe she is afraid of all the reading she will have to do for the class...make sure she knows that a community college will usually accommodate dyslexia. The workplace is another issue. Maybe she's afraid they'll get angry at her for having trouble reading at work. That's where a place like DVR comes in. They WILL care if she can't read or comprehend as fast as other people unless they understand. Huggles....keep us posted on your daughter. I don't really think she will end up marrying Mr. Wonderful. Maybe she just thinks "He's a loser, just like me." Sadly, I would understand if she did, even though she is NOT a loser. She may think she is. [/QUOTE]
