Having almost come to the end of my course, I wish that as much information had been around a number of years ago when my son was having trouble concentrating at school and was sometimes disruptive in class, acting like the class clown! He did not appear to have any of the classic symptoms of dyslexia but he took ages to read any texts put in front of him and they made his eyes hurt. I was very lucky to have a friend who's child had been diagnosed with the Irlen syndrome and she put me in touch with a clinic which provided Mark with tinted glasses. Now I would say that one of the symptoms I observed was Mark's habit of turning his head sideways to view something or someone on front of him, to get them in his line of vision. To me it is a telltale sign now but there was little information on the subject o be had at that time.
