I hide my dyslexia at work. I use spell check, proof read under a lamp with a ruler, and confide in one or two people who will proof read for me.

Interestingly I don't like the wiggly lines coz they break the creative flow. If you are mid thought, the last thing you need is to be thrown off by a o-god-how-the-hell-do-i-spell-that-moment. If you are writing fiction, I suggest switching off altogether and forgetting about it. The most important things, if I can use painting for an analogy, is to get the broad brush work done first, you can mop up the drips later.

Question - has anyone written a spell checker for dyslexics?
