Asking my parents for dyslexia testing..? HELP!
I came to discover that my struggling could be because of dyslexia. Since I found this out in August, I've just assumed that I had it so far. I think I should go to the doctor and get real testing though and it would make it a lot better for me in school if I could tell my teachers I was dyslexic and needed extra help. I'm 13 and for the first quarter of school this year I got straight A's. How do I ask my parents for dyslexia testing if it seems like there's no problem?
