    Probably. But there is more to dyslexia then just spelling bad.

    I have dyslexia and it's nothing but an emotional nightmare at times when Especially when I have to write a 10,000 word essay in a few weeks. All the anxiety flares up because i can't even hold a pen probably and typing from a bright computer is also difficult. And then constantly mixing up instructions, thoughts etc. It's pretty much like trying to speak English but it's coming out in 4 different languages at once.

    And learning a new language is nearly impossible, because I have no phonological awareness.

    Anyway, perhaps you could speak to your teachers, parents etc. Maybe a Doctor who could refer you to an educational pyschychologist (Sorry, I get confused with that word)

    Only an evaluation by a professional will be able to answer your question, not YA. No one can do an accurate assessment of dislexia over the Internet.
