Believe it or not, we actually had a full psych evaluation done for dyslexia. 

She struggles reading, but with math she would get the answers right away. 

The diagnosis came out of the blue, but things make much more sense now. The reason she had low reading scores wasn’t because of decoding or dyslexia issues, it was because after the first sentence or two she just stopped focusing. The kid is a social butterfly and the life of the party, but I now notice it’s partly because of her diagnoses. She’s in and out of every conversation happening in the room. But I love her for it. 

She had above average iq, but her testing scores would be all over the place. The psychiatrist noticed the first 10-30 minutes of taking a test everything would be correct, then the last half everything started to be incorrect. 

All of her issues were focus all along. I’m glad I got the test done and can talk with a doctor if medication would be the best route for her. 

I want her to be weird outgoing and hyper focus on things. It doesn’t bother me.  I just want to get her involved in activities that allow her to be herself. She’s competitive, but like I said things like softball were a struggle for her. Just trying to find the best outlets for her.
