My daughter never considered herself stupid and we would never have allowed her to. We did pull our hair out at not being able to find out what her problem
was.
Perhaps Dexter did not get the support at home, might not have had as good a school etc, but I will stand by my statement that being dyslexic does not mean you are stupid.

..I'm glad that it didn't hinder your daughter smudgie and of course dyslexia doesn't reflect your intelligence but the effect on everyone's learning who has it isn't the same and that's hugely to do with when it's diagnosed as well and how much support that person gets which I'm sure you know....
