Can I get diagnosed for Dyslexia from overseas (Asia)?


I am a non-British national working for a British Government agency in Asia. I feel I might have Dyslexia. Part of my work involves mundanes tasks which require much sequential activities, verifying ID numbers, etc. Can i be tested from overseas? If I am dyslexic, is there any risk of losing my job by disclosing the fact. I perfom my main duty l, which is more cognitive, well, but these procedural tasks are important and can cost me my job if i make mistakes. Are the laws on my side? Where can i get support for these questions? Sorry for asking so much! Thank you.

First you do not necessarily see everything backwards, some people do and some do not - its a lot more complex than that. I have never seen words backwards and I'm dyslexic.
Here is a quick and simply basic Dyslexic Assessment which may help. But if you do think you have, should get professional help - but there are lots of sites where can help to a point on line.
Use the following list to see if any of these occur in life or in school:

Vision
Changing or reversing shapes and sequences of letters or numbers
Incorrect / inconsistent spelling
Seeing letters and numbers move, disappear, grow or shrink
Omitting or altering letters, words and lines while reading or writing
Omitting or ignoring punctuation and capitalisation

Hearing
Difficulty making speech sounds
Perceiving sounds or words not really heard or experienced by others
Accused of not listening or being negative
Hearing sounds softer, louder, nearer or further away than they actually are
Balance and Movement
Dizziness or nausea while reading
Poor sense of direction
Inability to sit still
Difficult with handwriting (dysgraphia)
Balance / coordination problems

Time
Inability to sit still or maintain attention for long (ADD)
Inability to learn maths (dyscalculia)
Difficulty telling time or being on time
Criticised for daydreaming and fantasising
Distracted easily
Trouble with sequencing (getting things in order) or setting priorities

If a few or more of these symptoms are consistently experienced, dyslexia is the likely cause.

I do have some links on my site http://www.asplanet.info/ goo to main menu and can find under links/blogs... also have more information on this and associated conditions on my forum, but as I said lots of great sites out there. There should be one in Asia, and yes the law should be on your side not sure about asia, but in most countries they should have to cover for training for this. Not sure what part of Asia your in, but should be able to find help on web site. Feel free to ask me any questions on my forum...

If you are dyslexic you are seeing everything back words unless, you have a mirror in front of you you remember everything back words.
