Understanding Dyslexia – what we all need to know

Now many of my more regular readers will know that my son has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder since just before his third birthday.

What I don’t often mention is that my daughter is is four years old is dyslexic. In fact she made a film about it a few years ago which you can see here. She also explains, in part, what it is like to have a sibling on the autism spectrum.

So I thought I would take the opportunity to share this infographic. It is a great overview of dyslexia. So do feel free to share with people you know to raise awareness.

Thanks very much in advance.

Dyslexia Awareness Week 2013 – please like and share to show your support for People with Dyslexia


Lots of people are Dyslexic.

When I was a child many people, including teachers, claimed it did not exist and that people with dyslexia were “illiterates”.

This attitude blighted the lives of many people of my generation.

Please help us change attitudes in schools and the workplace.
