Underachieving, Low Self-Esteem, Depression, Moodiness, Acting out and even Dropping out ​& worse may be the result of undiagnosed Irlen Syndrome

Picture

Underachieving

Those with Irlen Syndrome often have difficulty achieving goals or finishing tasks and may be told they need to "try harder", even though they are trying their best. (See Reading Problems)
Picture

Low Self-esteem

When best efforts are not successful or recognized and outcomes are poor, frustration often results and self-esteem may be affected.
Picture

 Depression-Moodiness

Moodiness and depression are possible outgrowth of underachieving and the resulting low self-esteem.

Acting out, dropping out and worse

Picture
Many underachievers ultimately give up hope and go down the path of acting out or rebelling, getting involved with others in a similar situation and even dropping out of school.
Picture
An estimated 82% of people who are incarcerated are high school drop-outs. One Irlen Screener who works in a prison in Michigan has had many prisoners complete their GED's within one year of having their Irlen Syndrome diagnosed and being provided the needed Irlen Overlays! They finally found out that they weren't stupid or lazy!
