- What's it like to be dyslexic?
This is my personal experience of being dyslexic - with some tips thrown in for those who might live or work with someone who has dyslexia.
I said my vlogs would be kept raw and that I'd learn as I go. I learnt a lot from this one;
1) Remember to use the microphone - yes, it remained in my bag.
2) I need to do some more preparation, so I can make them shorted and more impactful - this is 16mins.
Its great to have this chance to learn - thank you for your patience.
Going forward - more planning, still raw, shorter - hope that works for you all.

Great video, hugely insightful!
Listened to this whilst on the bike in the gym, listening to you thoughts mad the time fly by
Hey you! I find your take on this SO fascinating. There are load of things here that I can really relate to but there are other things that are totally alien to me and my experience of dyslexia (diagnosed at 27). I just don't think I've ever given it as much weight as you appear to- maybe that's my dappy and also FORGETFUL nature due to (in part) having dyslexia. I dunno. I'd always struggled with words, thoughts, organisation, memory, focus, time to do things but I always had it drummed into me by my parents that I just need to work harder which looking back was great advice but also a little detrimental in the self-care and self-kindness allowance. We need to do a joint vid on this one! xx
Also you mention a book- link it in your description please! (Was it 'The Gift of dyslexia'? I'm yet to read it and hear about it YEARS ago!)

Thanks for the comments Nika - I think I'm still accepting it - I was 48 at diagnosis & that made me throw much of my life up in the air - I'm still working out where all the pieces go. Its made a lot of sense of so many things for me - why I was rubbish at school, why I can't concentrate or focus, why I struggle to remember, etc. etc.
I was treated badly at schoole - and work - because of it.
I'm just pleased that I know why these things are hard for me - hence why I want to spend more time doing what I love and I'm good at - I made a good career out of doing things which are totally against my dyslexia - so what can I achieve with my strengths?
BTW - joint vid would be awesome.
