My one in 10 people are dyslexic t shirt logo

Hi everyone, hope you are all doing away, as they say up here in Scotland.

This is not really something I am comfortable doing. Blowing my own trumpet that is. But I have just got a new mentor from the, Impact and Performance Social Value Lab.  Its all about showing the value of your work. So, I thought this might be a good start:

Just watched your blog video well done, like yourself I am dyslexic, I started a Facebook page called the dyslexic teacher, a bit of a play on words as a dyslexic I wanted to help people with dyslexia using a system that works for me I own a small production company producing promos and commercials for people, which consists of myself and my wife who does the editing we both come from a TV and film background, dyslexia is very common in the television and film industry, by using speak to text On my Apple computer and now Apple phones or virtually any smart phone using the Siri system it writes for me life changing for me personally, I've been involved helping young and old dyslexics using this system for me it's ground-breaking at 65 years old I can now write to whoever I want to definitely a game changer for me and I've helped many people overcome some of the problems we have being dyslexic, if I can help anybody by producing a small Film Please don't hesitate to call me we have a round camera and we can help with the editing, I will leave my email address if anybody wants to contact me

Your post is so true, I will have to re-post this over on my twitter and facebook page. I had a raw deal myself in the 60s/70s at school. I did get a degree in my late-40s that I,ve written a book about my years in the wilderness branded a failure. Thanks for the post Steve. https://www.amazon.co.uk/DUNCE-SCHOLAR-DYSLEXIA-Road-University-ebook/dp/B01E2W50QA/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1470140374&sr=1-1

yes the Dyslexic Prism idea makes a tone of sense no two dyslexic's see the world the same way, BUT unlike non dyslexic's we are able to understand each others view points, and even spot another dyslexic who may have been thinking themselves stupid or lazy because that is what non-dyslexic call people who are dyslexic. Its like with reading, some dyslexic's can deal with black font on a white background, but a number of us need colour overlays to make the text stay still or make it simply easier for our minds to read! and again no two dyslexic's will have the same colour overly, my partner has a horrid neon orange were I have an EVIL rose pink (I hate pink), but nether of us can read font via the same overly as easily. that's just a physical example. but mental well with out dyslexic's there wouldn't be e=MC squired Yes Dr Albert Einstein was a dyslexic so that alone should dispel the myth of dyslexic's being stupid. >:( the thing I really don't get is why suddenly Dr's want to dub it an illness!! yes sure it can be a disability if you never get the chance to be shown how to overcome its problems so you can fully embrace its gifts! but to dub it an illness ughh I wish they would stop looking for medical cures for everything and start finding practical work around like, oh I don't know teach ALL school children as if they were dyslexic so that none of them fall behind, But I guess that would be to much dyslexic common sense for non-dyslexic's in charge of the so called education system. :/

You are an amazing guy, Steve, we learnt so much from our recent meeting. Wow our brains were whizzing round over 100 miles an hour, lol. All very positive I must add. Now its time for me to rein in.........argh that is so difficult for me to do.....as you could tell from talking to me. However, I know how important it is to me to focus on one thing at a time to accomplish my goals. I will definitely be in touch with you very soon. Thank you so much for your invaluable time and support you gave us, we can not thank you enough. Watch this space....... !!! A very happy dyslexic :-)
