For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.This isn't a disease so there are no 'early signs'. Dyslexia is a condition which means (in layman terms) the wiring of the brain is slightly unusual so the sufferer doesn't see written letters or numbers in the same way others do. The condition is often not recognized until the sufferer is almost an adult. Hope this helps.
No two people with dyslexia are exactly alike because dyslexia ranges from mild to moderate to severe to profound. Some people with dyslexia also have AD/HD.
Therefore, someone with dyslexia may not have every single symptom listed below. But they will have many of them. Professional testers look for a "constellation" or cluster of symptoms in the following areas.
If someone struggles with spelling, is a slow reader who has a difficult time sounding out unknown words, and has difficulty getting their great thoughts down on paper in acceptable form, AND that person has 3 or more of these classic warning signs, it is worth getting that person tested for dyslexia.
These problems are unexpected when compared to the person's proven abilities in other areas.

my son showed signs as early as 4
writing backwards,also numbers,not being able to tell the time,coulnt tell left from right, also he was very clumsy.
after6 years of trying finally got a statement of special needs,but because my son had got so far behind with his school work he could not cope with secondary school.
i took him out and taught him myself for the next 5 years,hard work but well worth it
