I'm in my late 30s and I recently got diagnosed with dyslexia which was such a relief. It was so validating to have my challenges acknowledged.

It made me look back at my education and uni life and be sad about all the unesesary struggles I had. So yesterday I went to an open day to do a Master's, something I'd never thought I'd be capable of despite my love for learning.

When I spoke to the disabilities person I had to hold back tears when she explained all the support I could access. It was quite overwhelming.

I'm really excited about potentially going back to uni with the support I didn't get before.

Excellent news!
It must be such a relief to know that there is support out there for you to fulfil your potential.
This is why I always say that a diagnosis is beneficial, not just a 'label'.
Congratulations Flowers
