I think I am being unreasonable.

But I am really annoyed with my mum for not keeping any of my dyslexic reports from when I was diagnosed in yr 7.

She has given me most of my other important documents which thankfully she did keep. Other bits I now have would also be nearly impossible to replace.

I'm in my 30s and looking to do some professional exams. I could use the extra exam support but I can't prove I deserve it.

More of a rant.

AIBU? She should have kept it right? She has secretary course certs she did in circa 1986 so she does keep things

YABU to be annoyed. She helped you get a diagnosis that helped your education, how was she to know you'd need it in your 30s!

You seem to be taking umbrage that she has her secretarial cert but not your papers from when you were 11.

Did you not need the paperwork for university if you went? If yes, why didn't YOU file it safely?

Were you formally diagnosed because it may have been the senco or ta just screened you for traits. You can pay for an assessment now.

Did she ever actually have anything in writing that did confirm it?

Can you get it from the education authority? You could do a subject access request to see if they have any information.
