Adult dyslexia: Anyone else dealing with this?

What? 🤔

velvetbear372 said:I stumbled upon this thread... can someone tell me how an adult goes about getting an "evaluation" and a formal diagnosis? Do you need a referral? Like, do you see a speech therapist? Does a primary care doctor issue the referral or what?

Thanks.

Yeah, you'd get a referral from your doctor for a speech pathologist.
You can always go private, then you don't need a referral at all.

I can't quite follow—could you clarify what you mean by that? velvetbear372 says:
He could request a consultation with a psychiatrist—someone who can screen for OCD and actually provide the necessary support. Alternatively, he should probably look into contacting the FBI.

None.

You can also go through private practice—in which case, you won't need a referral.

Thanks.
