Truth About Dyslexia

In todays episode - I just talk about how I am feeling.

I'm in my head, too many pots on the boil & just that overwhelmed feeling is appearing. I wanted to share and be real with you all. I wanted to also share what I am doing to help my dyslexic brain relax & see what is going on.

It's all about learning how your mind works and how to play with it better.

Do you use supplements to help with you Dyslexia (and/or ADHD)?

I think we have all tried a few over the years. I wanted to talk about what I do on a regular basis and 2 I am trying at the moment to see if it helps. Dyslexia does not have a lot of research in this way that I can find - It is more lived experiences - so here is mine.

Here is the link I mention to what I am trying - https://amzn.to/3y9OXZb

Hey my tribe, my people that get the dyslexic way and are opening their eyes to how it effects them.

I wanted to do an Updatecast talking about my journey and experiences at the moment. I have been dealing with a bunch of uncertainty in my gut about a challenge (not able to see it) and it recently lifted. I wanted to talk through why and see if you feel a similar way.

I have had this request a bit recently to interview other awesome Dyslexic's. So when one pops out of the shadows - I locked him down for a story telling session.

What I love about this story is the other side - on the outside you would think just a successful person with a few bumps along the way - but inside there was always something missing until the realisation around Dyslexia.

For anonymity we use the name Philip in the interview (I'm pretty sure he is not actually James Bond but you never know).

I wanted to put my Steve-ra-damus hat on today. To look at where Dyslexia is going in the next 20 years.

How will schools be?

What will it look like to be diagnosed?

How will work be?

Are we ready to step out of the neurodiverse closet?

Work & Employer challenges are really common - we get the question a lot. I decided to go talk through a story, a lesson and some tips to help you out. I hope you enjoy it.

I don't usually release coaching calls with clients but Allison has kindly allowed me to :)

Her story is like so many I hear, so you will probably relate to some or all of it. This is much longer than a usual dyslexia podcast so it is a great one to listen to when going for a long walk or drive.

The first half is going though Allisons story of Dyslexia, school and life. Then the second half we dig deeper into some tools & challenges. 

I hope you enjoy it.

A question I never really had when I was younger was - Do I also have ADHD? It honestly never crossed my mind. For me personally I realised it was part of who I am when a friend asked to grab a coffee and find out more about the work I was doing in the Adult Dyslexia space.

He mentioned he had just been diagnosed with ADHD and told me his story. He said one of the things that he learned was that if you find yourself tapping your foot in meetings or at boring times. It was a common sign of ADHD - It's like you are trying to speed up a super slow situation.

Of that whole conversation that stuck with me like it had been glued on. As I noticed myself doing it I dug deeper & went to get diagnosed. I actually started by watching a video on ADHD - see the link below for that.

Since then the ADHD & Dyslexia connection has only grown - I wanted to share my take on it.
