After all trips to speech therapists and extra English homework, as autistic it's sense of relief to hear we all in same boat. Not sure if it's asd or ADHD that is reasoning, some blame computer based learning devices in the UK so it's prevalent in number of places.
According to the National Literacy Trust, 1 in 6 people in the UK have poor or no reading skills: “More common is the use of the term 'functionally illiterate'. Around 16 per cent, or 5.2 million adults in England, can be described as functionally illiterate".
Tackling the UK's childhood literacy problem with reading support
It's such a stress in our house, of course homeschooling sends shivers down my spine when I consider I'm worst English teacher who is responsible for an area that already needs extra work. Maths and science are easy but language is required for pass rate.
Years ago a family friend had a son who was maths boffin but couldn't write words and had similar conflict with the school grading system.
Is the literacy issue affecting
