They had some ok answers. I would sum it up as “educational or medical diagnosis”. They say they do both. I don’t really understand but as long as I can get a medical diagnosis and it is legal I am good. So I’ll keep reporting back and see how it goes.

I am digging in more to figure out what is going on and wrote a bunch of questions. We will see how they respond. Overall it seems that they do certified APC profesional assessor which does meet medical standards in UK to diagnose Dyslexia, but they can not diagnose ADHD even though they are related

I am asking some questions regarding who actually does the evaluations. And at this time I am not totally clear. It is quite expensive so it would be I portent for this to be very clear, and know how this relates to medical diagnosis. For at least their ADD/ADHD assessment it is not medical.

Looks like when accounting for pounds to dollar conversion the full neurodiversity assessment package is about $3k

She also talked some about why companies want to hire people on the neurodiversity spectrum, & it is because they are able to cut theiugh the crap & connect dots that others would never be able to see. And they can many times do it quickly, effortlessly and fast. So companies want that. Interesting.

Lastly there was one very interesting thing that was exactly what we would expect to hear. She said that you can’t be fixed if you are diagnosed. There is no program or treatment for these evaluations, it is just the way you are and the way your brain works. So that is what we are looking for.

I’ll send more information soon. Here is the website: www.dyslexiatestcentre.co.uk I’m excited about this, as my first step is just understanding what I am, what is my own identity. It is possible that scientifically I don’t even have dyslexia, but it is most likely an overlap of multiple things.

So for just dyslexia, disgrsphia etc it would be $600-$700. And if you wanted a Autism / ADHD evaluation it would be an aditonal $700-$800. It technically would be possible to do the full Neurodiversity analysis for a little over $2k. So that is pretty cool as nowhere else offers that I could find.

The questions were random but also specific for remembering childhood traits. They said that they definitely feel I was on the spectrums of all the related dysgraphia dyslexia and autism, it is all related. They offer multiple peofedhinsl analysis options and the range is $600-$800 each.

It has been a long time, but I finally got a first consultation with one of the UK dyslexia / neurodiversity evaluation offices. They were very nice and just went directly into the questions and could immediately gadge some of the potential issues.

Dyslexic Thinking Support & Collaboration @dyslexicthinking.bsky.social · 17/01/2025
Good to know. $6k seems steep. It also is against the concept of Dyslexic Thinking being an ability and instead being a liability that needs to be fixed. For now my focus is on getting re-diagnosed and then having a legal recondition for when interviewing so that it isn’t me who needs to change.

Dyslexia is different for each individual but more recent studies have found correlations and it is clearly not just spelling. I particularly like this research on Picture Thinking: www.dyslexia.com/research/res... But Davis has 10-15 categories of Research. The definition continues to evolve.

I also reworked the profile to be scientifically balanced. From what I’ve seen so far even if there are power/abilities, there seem to be weaknesses as well. And for each person it is different. But the research continues.

I found a place where you can get profeshinslly evaluated from anywhere in the world. Still don’t know how much it costs, but they do it all; Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia, and Dyspraxia. Also curious about picture thinking and neurodiversity in análisis. Shall see. www.dyslexiatestcentre.co.uk

The research and journey continues. I will continue to document everything I can find. And hopefully it will provide answers and a clear path for using this new science and neurodiversity movement to actually benefit real people’s lives who have struggled for so long.

My life has been a disaster and I have no access to anything and have been told I am unfundsble and unhirsble that I lost all hope. So now I have a glimmer of hope, but it is all still a dream. Where is the access? Where are the results.? How do people with Dyslexia get these benidits if at all?

I feel the same as you. That is why I am doing this research. My goal is to figure out what is really going on. I read and am told about how Dyslexic Thinking is a skill on Linked in and that neurodiversity can even be a pro for recruitment agencies, but it all seems too good to be true.

So far so found that if you have concerns with dyslexia & feel you would benefit if you had access to disléxic thinking services for job & funding opportunities, then one option that came up is talking to your normal doctor & directly being referred to a psychologist or other profesional evaluator.

@ennmo.bsky.social Hi. I was wondering if you had any contacts or resources for getting re-diagnosed. It seems like a logical scientific first step for anyone.

Dyslexic Thinking Support & Collaboration @dyslexicthinking.bsky.social · 14/12/2024
Anyone have information or contacts for dyslexic thinking certifications or dislexia diagnosis? I feel like we are looking for something official & meets a basic criteria with a minimum standard of scientific acceptance. Obviously it may be expensive to be evaluated by a profesional. Any ideas?

Dyslexic Thinking Support & Collaboration @dyslexicthinking.bsky.social · 14/12/2024
So I’m going to be starting to search for how to actually get certified as a disléxico thinking. This is both to be able to prove your value if this is a skill, and to protect your rights to have access to somone who understands disléxic thinking in the org you are proposing to.

I got some great information today from the national ADA Technical Assistance hotline. 1 800 949 4232 they made it clear that the law states all diagnosis be current. So to have a right to dislexia thinking and be able to legally request access in a job search or grant, a profesional e al is key.

They do have a one time session for $200. And I’m sure there are other options based on needs. It was really nice to finally talk to someone and actually connect about solutions and understanding more about what is going on. Overall great experience and I’m going to continue researching Into them.

I finally talked to someone from the Davis Method and Dyslexia.com and they were very nice. They understand the concept behind Dyslexia as a Identity and way of thinking. They have resources including a Research section on picture thinking which I will post later. The course is a bit expensive. $6k

I’ve been doing some research on my Dyslexia. I never knew it was a core component of who I am as a being. It has cause so Much harm in my life. I hope I can turn it around & get support from people even if they don’t totally understand me. I swear even though my ideas are different they have value.

Doing some basic research in the news Dyslexic Thinking is a new term in the last few years. But seeing benifits start having articles going back at least to 2015 or before. It seems the topic expanded when they found out the majority of shark tank entrepreneurs are all dyslexic in 2018.

I swear my auto typer has learned how to spell words incorrectly because of how bad I am. So I do spell check and it changes them to wrongly spelled words. I’ve tried to install different key boards. Helps a bit. I’m working on research regarding dyslexia as a Benifit. It’s new to me too.

I’m just learning about Dyslexic Thinking. You can read spell and have great grammar, but you just think differently and communicate and interact differently. I’m still trying to understand it. If true dyslexia is much more then just spelling.
