I was diagnosed with Irlen Syndrome in 8th grade. Mine affected how I saw numbers mainly, rather than lettering. It was insane being able to see numbers without getting a headache. My scores went from 0%-20% to 70%-80% because I could finally understand what I was seeing instead of it looking like a jumbled mess of hieroglyphics.
