Dyslexia: Not an issue.
Dyspraxia: Talk to your doctor.

So you are 12?

I do, having suffered from Dyslexia all my life (back when nobody gave a ****, and you got a clout around the ear cos they thought you were just lazy). My Nephew also has it, but with a more progressive education system has conquered it completely.
As for Dyspraxia, I say talk to your doctor because I do not know to what level it impacts on your motor or speech skills, he or she does, presumably as they have diagnosed you as such. They will also be able to tell you whether your level of dyspraxia is compatable with the Garda Medical entry requirements.

No need for the "hattitude". You asked for advice, I am offering it.

You spelt Dyslexia right the first time. Dyslexia has nothing to do with spelling.

There is no support given to applicants applying for an Garda siochana. It's a competition where each applicant has to prove their merits. From what you have mentioned it sounds like you would have trouble passing the verbal reasoning and report writing exercise on stage 2 as its a time pressured test.

Realistically though being a Garda requires a lot of paperwork from notebook entries to statements, files, books of evidence and interpreting law etc. Spellcheck can assist to a certain degree but is no substitute.

The best way to find out If they are a disqualification is to contact garda head quarters. If they are not you will more than likely be shot down in aptitude or report writing anyway. Spelling and grammar is very important as a guard. Court cases can be struck out for spelling mistakes. Judging by the posts this will be a major problem for you.

'Santa Cruz' is it your intention to join the guards? I see your name pop up in every thread relating to gardai and I can't seem to figure out wether you wanna join or your just giving out advice for the sake of it?
