[QUOTE="Hopeful applicant, post: 239069, member: 43062"] but then saying otherwise would open them to some seriously bad PR and (possibly?) lawsuits. I'm kind of not sure how the system is supposed to work - I could see firms not wanting people with dyslexia, since a big part of a trainees work (at least in the pre-gpt era) is fast and effective proofreading. In that case telling the firm "Oh BTW I am extra slow and inaccurate at that" would not intuitively do wonders for the application. Edit: just to make sure the tone is right -- I have dyslexia myself and I am extra slow and inaccurate at proofreading :)) [/QUOTE]
