Neurodiversity Stories 🎙

Delighted to announce the next guest for my Neurodiversity Stories

Aaron Swan - Topic of talk - "Dyslexia is my strength and is a great advantage in engineering and tech. I

got thinking about the reasons why I am such a sociable person. Is it innate or did I, at some point, make the choice to be that way? I came to some conclusions and realised that my dyslexia had a huge hand in the way I have ‘turned out’. As cliche as it is, although I am not defined by dyslexia, I certainly am made by it. Whilst I’m hoping that the way dyslexia is handled in schools has changed a lot since I was young, I wanted to write something about it in order to highlight that despite being defined as a ‘specific learning difficulty’, it can also be incredibly useful - if you can come out of school with your self confidence intact. Let me explain. I am the third of 4 boys, and when we were younger my parents would have navigated any obstacle in order to fight our corner. My mum tells a story of me coming home in primary 1 (about 5 years old) and telling her that “I wasn’t the same as the other kids”. My mum said that she had noticed a difference between me and my brothers, but this was the catalyst that she needed. Being the way she is, she marched into school and told the staff that they needed to work with her to find out what was going on as she wasn’t about to let her son feel ‘different’. Sure enough I had all the tests and it came to light that I was “really quite dyslexic”.

Dann Casswell - Company Director: Creative Connection Animation Studio  

Topic of talk - "Writing Out-loud How being dyslexic helps me to explain."  

I’ve always been a communicator. Since school I’ve always loved explaining complicated things in a way that people can understand, often with relatable metaphors that can put abstract ideas into the real world. I love watching them ‘get it’. In school people who sat next to me would always go up a set, while I stayed where I was because my written work was so poor. Then one day we took a multiple choice maths exam and I despite being in set two, I got the highest grade in the school, this led to my dyslexia diagnosis. (at Uni they tested my IQ as 137 which would be great if my wife’s wasn’t 138) I didn’t really learn to study till I got to university where I studied creative writing, and sociology and then an MA in scriptwriting. I also had some creative work read on radio four… never really had any success in print!

Emma Downer MBA  

Topic of talk - "From disguising to thriving with dyslexia"  

I was 17 when I discovered I was dyslexic, but it wasn't until I was 28 and I met a dyslexia coach that I fully accepted being dyslexic as part of who I am. Being educated on dyslexia opened up an entirely different and better way of managing the way I work and how I exist in the world. Its now integral in my work as a DIY Educator and as a Life Coach and I am able to help others understand their own ways of working.

Martin Bloomfield  

Topic of talk - "Dyslexia: Teaching, Studying, and the Consolation of Philosophy"  

Like most people with dyslexia, I was the bottom of the class in most subjects at school. I found school humiliating, confusing, and frightening. And it was this that drove me to becoming a teacher - for two reasons: first, that I wanted to make sure others didn't suffer like I did; and second, that I was excellent at being creative and communicating ideas, and found a niche running extra-curricular drama classes, so that instead of spending my whole time at school hating life, I could at least feel validated by this one "lesson" per week that I ran. But I also became a philosophy student late in life, and discovering what philosophy was "about", allowed me to really flourish and grow in ways that the school system never let me.
