A Dyslexics Life
There is a well written article covering the emotional aspects of being dyslexic over on The International Dyslexia Association website: Social and Emotional Problems Related to Dyslexia
” … Margaret Bruck, in her review of the research, offers two possible explanations for these problems:
* First, the social and emotional difficulties of dyslexia, “are part or a manifestation of the same disorder as is responsible for academic failure.”
* Second, Bruck suggests that because dyslexia puts the child at odds with his environment, he experiences great stress, which in turn creates many problems in social and emotional adjustment.“
