Should I tell my employer that I have dyslexia ?

In this video I discuss whether or not you should tell your employer you have dyselxia. I cover the pros and cons and my personal experience. If anyone has been discriminated against for having dyslexia, I'd love to hear your story!

I have struggled for so long I think its time to disclose this to my employer

Thank you so much for sharing this. I am 41 years of age and I found out two weeks ago that I have dyslexia. Like you, I am also working in a bank :) and I was undecided about telling my employer until i watched your video. I have to say I have had a lot of negative thoughts over the last two weeks, ( I was never really one for asking for support) but I have decided to let them know. Thanks again, I really appreciate it from Dublin, Ireland.

Thanks for that. I am a Chartered Accountant working in a West End accounting firm. I have been working for my current firm for almost a year and have not told them that I am dyslexic (for matters most of us here understand). I don't know whether I should...but your video is convincing and maybe it would be best to just embrace who I am and f*** the haters.

It's best looking elsewhere is a perfect sentence, if the disability doesn't get understood and there are some unfair treatments then it's not good.
I told my disability and yet they're always annoyed that it's hard for me to comprehend tge tasks yhst I'm given

Mine has gotten so bad. Please don’t assume everyone else’s dyslexia is just like yours.

Omg, I am so happy I came across this video. I was thinking about telling my employer

just started a new job and I’m afraid to tell my employer that I have dyslexia. I’m a service maintenance worker for a large private property company and their is a lot of writing. Either to keep records or write a letter resident. I managed to slip on bye for a couple days but I’m afraid if I tell them I’m going to be let go.

Im dyslexic and I always felt embarrassed by it

My advice; never reveal you have dyslexia especially to you employer and especially if you work with students in a school settings. Your employer is the school principal and most not all principals or administrators have never experienced what you go through on a daily basis. Remember(very important) administrator are concern with two things 1. Money and 2. Politics. If your interfere with that perception your in trouble.

In my case not only i have dyslexia but also adhd and hearing problems so i think I'm gonna get strongly hated
In terms of normal talking it's all fine but when someone talks with soft voice from far i find hard to hear
