S.P.A.G spaz?

I might be a S.P.A.G spaz.

As you know, I am at Uni and on and off for many years dyslexia has been brought to my attention. When I was a child it was cited a few times I may be a bit dyslexic and since being back at school (aka Uni) the same issues have arisen.

I am rubbish at spelling and grammar and my reading is a bit slow and clumsy.

About a billion percent of the people on art courses seem to have a dyslexia test and get lots of additional support and sometimes equipment to help them with things, as, apparently, they are classed as disabled for academic purposes.

So, after some advice from tutors I had a dyslexia screening and they said I might be dyslexic so referred me to an educational psychologist. He came round last night and tested me for a few hours on all manner of things. Spelling, reading, working memory, response times, visual awareness all that malarkey. It was surprisingly fun and interesting! I even had tests with puzzle arranging and spot the difference type pictures!

He told me he thinks I am mildly dyslexic, mainly because my common sense, awareness, general knowledge and intelligence etc were all good, but my writing and reading were the bottom range of average and my working memory was not what it should be.

He is writing a report that I should get in a week which will confirm if I am a SPAG spaz or not! I will keep you updated with the progress of my mental powers and what they offer me as assistance (if anything).

I apologise for anyone who reads this who is an actual spaz, I mean no offence by my choice of words it’s purely for comic effect. I have also realised I just used the word again when apologising! What a giddy goat I am.
