Hi all, just a short blog from me today.

This blog does not appear to be dyslexia related, but it is.

Just want to say I wish the non dyslexic community had the emotional intelligence and empathy of the dyslexic community

I see humanity is rattling its nukes AGAIN, result:

Hello mushroom cloud, good bye humanity, cockroaches inherit the earth, what's left of it. I was a young kid during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 sheesh. I was 4 at the time and still remember it vividly.

Here we go again.

Yes, a happy blog lol.

As a matter of fact I am all dyslexic

#IAm Dyslexic and if anyone does not like that they can bite my ass

Hello all: Dyslexia

For me focussing only on literacy is a real issue that I have a problem with when it comes to dyslexia. Yet the vast majority of support just does that. The disability model of dyslexia say dyslexia is defined as: deficit, disorder  and discrepancy. I believe dyslexia is about diversity and difference.

A dyslexic student I supported said to me: "nobody likes to think they have anything wrong with them, particularly if its the brain." But that is what many dyslexic students are told. 

We need a whole person approach. Ok yes I missed words and lines etc when I read but at the time I just thought it was the same for everybody else. When I was about 8. I was reading books from Thomas the Tank Engine to War of the worlds.    

So many dyslexic kids and adults have issues with trauma, self confidence, mental health and coping with empathy and emotional intelligence from our schooling.

 When I started on my entrepreneur journey there was plenty of support for entrepreneurs and practically nothing for dyslexic entrepreneurs. Yet so many entrepreneurs are dyslexic

I was invited for an interview for a podcast about dyslexia, learning and trauma. After the interview I realised I was still carrying trauma from experiences at school. Here is what i mean about whole person approach. I kinda liked school up until I was about 12. My dad was chronic and spiteful alcoholic and my mum use to beat my brother and I all the time. Their marriage was a train wreck and for me school was a sanctuary up until the age of 14.

We need to work with the whole person, dyslexia is not a little blob in my brain, as a matter of fact I am all dyslexic.
