I'm dyslexic, diagnosed as an adult. I don't know anything about unemployment, but I can suggest a couple of resources:

This is a really good article about dyslexia, talking about the different ways it can impact both children and adults, and it gives some insight into why it's difficult to diagnose.

Like a lot of dyslexics, I learned to read really early, but had a history of erratic performance. You can learn to compensate, especially if you have good language skills and intuition, but for me, it would have meant a lot to know that I was just different - helps avoid thinking that you're lazy or stupid.

In Switzerland, there is an organization in Geneva, called ASK (all special kids) that provides some advocacy for parents. You can find them online at

www.allspecialkids.org

Since I am not a parent, I don't really know enough about them, but someone there might be able to help you. I know it can be tough for parents, and I hope you can find some support and some help. But i also agree that a second opinion is important, because the diagnosis is never clear cut.

Good luck!
