My brother and my husband both have dyslexia and both are avid readers who’ve kept on persevering in spite of struggling with learning to read and write.

I love what you’ve written about substituting one word for another and that you’re able to show rather than tell. Not having dyslexia myself, this is hugely interesting for me. I’m the opposite – I often struggle to show rather than tell. I’m learning but it’s taking a while.

That doesn’t mean that I think you shouldn’t write about it. On the contrary. It’s important for everyone to know as much as they can about it, including the advantages and disadvantages it brings. Thank you for adding to my knowledge.

With someone I know well it’s fine, I’m relaxed and articulate. Sometimes even witty. But with stress and tiredness it sneaks out and starts to win, the internal override switch no longer works and I lose control. Letters don’t sit in the right places, they swap themselves around when I’m not looking and thoughts jump around in an illogical way. Alice with labyrinth thoughts, twisting and turning, branching out then suddenly ending with no warning. That’s the dyslexia.dyslexia…  […]

I also teach creative writing to adults and in nearly every class I have at least one student who is dyslexic – sometimes unrecognized. While I applaud your positive attitude, I wouldn’t want to underestimate the struggle that many dyslexics experience. They are at least as bright as most people and are often a good deal more creative with an infinity for language and design, but they have a barrier to overcome and it is a tough one. You only have to look at the incidence of dyslexia among the prison population to know that without skilled support and understanding, the frustration and anxiety of a learning difficulty that can put you at the bottom of the class when you ought to be competing for first place can be destructive.

i think these types of posts are valuable and inspirational to many. they also provide your friends/followers with deeper insight into you. and that is appreciated
