hey i just came across this and i do believe there is a connection. I have grown up with Dyslexia and ADD, i am still in high school right now but i asked my therapist about this question and she said that at least with me i got really self conscious and that mixed with how much stress and pressure there is for school. you never feel good enough. You dont feel like you belong and you dont think that you will ever make anything of your self. So many people give up on you but they dont know how hard you work. Never give up, show them wrong how smart you are surprise them all. But with dyslexia every single day is a challenge.

This is the first time I ever wrote on a forum I am 46 yrs old, due to the fact that my spelling is so bad, and it is painfull to over think every word you write,i can write the same word 3 times in a day 3 different ways!due to my dyslexia. My pronucation of words sometimes can be so scrambled, So yes I think that there are some days that you feel down on yourself, but with finding out that I have dyslexia only a few years ago, now I own what I have, and have a better understanding for myself and that helps.
