Dyslexia can’t be 'cured'. It's lifelong. Dyslexia primarily affects reading and writing skills, but not many people know this, it can also indirectly impacts how one interacts with and will understand others, particularly in social situations.
While not a direct cause of social difficulties, the challenges associated with dyslexia can lead to misunderstandings, frustration, and even low self-esteem, which can then affect social interactions. Thus I hate myself.
Not so very surprising, dyslexia can present challenges in romantic relationships, but with understanding and effort, relationships can be fulfilling and strong. It can definite affect communication, memory, and emotional regulation, but it doesn't define a person.
Open communication, patience, and a willingness to adapt are key for both partners in navigating the challenges. This morning my lips feel cracked again. Somehow the black dog is loose again. This is how a person with dyslexia feels at times.

I was "diagnosed" dyslexic as an adult at an adult education center. They really helped me. Reading is now one of my favourite things whereas in the past I'd simply avoid it as it seemed "too difficult".
Looking at that map thing I can associate with so much on there. I often cast off these things as "Krazy Katy" but inside it hurts when I stand out because of it. Some have suggested I've ADHD and I know I can struggle with attention to the task at hand but I feel there's only one thing at play.
Don't hate yourself though. Embrace your difficulties and push through.
@KatyO83 I went for a test at one of your specialists here when I was 45 (because a new work boss made my life difficult there) and she told me that I was the worst case that she knew about working at my level
