In second grade, I was diagnosed with clinical fear of school and depression, and I had lost 10 pounds. I had a tic. Even into high school I was in that defeated mentality. In many respects, it's something we all face. But yes, very much.

In our broader culture, you see dyslexia associated with stupidity and ADHD associated with being crazy. That is a fundamental bias. Pursue formal diagnosis - you have to do it if you expect any services as your child gets older. And it helps if you understand how your mind works, and that's a great thing when you're learning. When the diagnosis occurs, tell your kid about it.
