Question

Can your develop dyslexia at any age? Honestly when I was younger I didn't have a problem reading or writing but now since I'm a teen it's getting harder for me to read correctly and to write words the way they should be written while I get the letters switched around. When I read out loud I say words in the wrong order even If I read fast or slow.

Answer 1

I don't believe dyslexia is a born disorder, and can be developed at any stage of life, given the circumstances leading to the development. It doesn't occur out of the blue, there is always a reason for the development of a learning disorder. I would not jump to the conclusion that you have dyslexia, though. It is simply a possibility. Other reasons your reading and writing could be affected includes lack of sleep, hormone rampages, environmental changes, etc. etc.

Answer 2

Yes, it is possible for you to have dyslexia at any age. Since you're having issues with reading correctly right now, you may possibly be developing dyslexia and you may want to consult a doctor for an exam/test.
