is it even worth it looking into a dyslexia diagnosis at 17?
This is my first time posting anything on reddit so sorry if i do anything wrong but I think I might have dyslexia but i dont know how to approach talking to my parents/ school about it or if its even worth bringing up, im also worried that it could just be that im struggling more at the end of the academic year and im just looking for an excuse. I've been moved onto using laptops for my exams bc my handwriitng is illegible when i write fast (lol) but its consistently bad unless i spend a lot of focus into making it look neat. I also struggle reading large blocks of text because the word melt togehter and my eyes start skipping words as im reading it (which sucks because im doing 3 essay subjects at a-level -.-). My issue is that im in yr 12 (im 17 years old) and im going to be done with my a-levels in a year and a bit so is it even worth me asking about it? Im worried that because i am a lot older than most people are when they get a diagnosis that its not wroth talking about because ive gotten this far without any accomodations or anything so should i just firm it until i get to university?
tldr - I think i might be dyslexic at 17, should i even bother with trying to get a diagnosis? If i do how should i talk to my parents about it?
