Dyslexics can and do succeed but many do so in spite of their education not because of it.

We must change how we think about what it means to be dyslexic in a society that disables. We must change how we think and talk about dyslexia.

We have to challenge the current medical discrepancy of dyslexia. It is a model that has nothing positive to say about dyslexia or to dyslexics. It is a model that has only served to trap us behind a narrow one dimensional negative stereotype definition of dyslexia. A definition that totally ignores and stifles our potential and strengths.

That is why I support the social model of dyslexia. It talks about dyslexia in terms of diversity and difference and it recognises that it is society that disables us.

#dyslexia is a difference that reflects #diversity. We need to unleash and nurture that potential not remediate or stifle it.

Being dyslexic can be?

 

Me sitting in our old studio over 40 years ago.

Hello every one, hope all is well with you all,

Anyone who knows me understands that I am very positive about being dyslexic. However, there are times,even for me, that my dyslexic life can become overwhelming and isolating.

There are times when I would gladly stick a couple of knitting needles up my nose to give myself a full frontal lobotomy. Just to shut my dyslexic brain up and walk away from my dyslexia work altogether. If I had any real sense that's what I should do lol.

Anyway, that's my wee moan over with.

Thanks for reading and a big hi five to all my followers of my dyslexia social media.
