We need a coherent and globally united dyslexic community

Hi blog readers hope you are all feeling fab

We need a coherent and globally united dyslexic community so we can fight for positive change for all of us. It seems to me we are all still stuck in a medical \ discrepancy model time warp. We are falling over ourselves trying to prove that dyslexia is a disability.

We have been trying to solve the issues we face using terminology and ideas that in my view do not
fit or work for us. The idea that dyslexia is a disability is imposed upon us by non dyslexic thinking.

We have to stop thinking in terms of disability and focus on the idea that dyslexia is about diversity and difference. If we are going to build a community do we want one based on a medical \ discrepency model vision or social model of dyslexia vision?

What do you think?

Regards
