What if the hardest part of having dyslexia wasn’t the reading challenges—but the bullying that comes with it?

In this confronting episode, we expose the deep, often ignored link between bullying and dyslexia. While bullying is a global issue, dyslexic individuals are three to four times more likely to be targeted—and the emotional scars can last a lifetime.

Inside this episode:

• Why dyslexia makes someone more vulnerable to bullying

• The shocking statistics from countries like the UK, Russia, and the U.S.

• The devastating long-term effects on mental health, confidence, and education

• Why self-blame is common—and dangerous

• What parents, educators, and communities must do differently

This episode is a wake-up call to stop dismissing bullying as "just part of growing up"—especially for those already navigating a different way of learning.

👉 Tune in now and be part of the change that ends silence, stops stigma, and starts support.

You'll hear:

• What undiagnosed dyslexia feels like through school, work, and life

• How self-doubt and frustration can hold back even the most capable people

• Why late diagnosis can be both a relief and a revelation

What if being called "clumsy" all your life was never about carelessness—but something far deeper that’s rarely talked about?

In this powerful episode, inspired by a moving post from Dr Martin Bloomfield, we explore Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), also known as Dyspraxia—a form of neurodivergence as common as ADHD, yet still largely overlooked.

Dr Bloomfield shares his personal story—of stumbling on stairs, cracking teeth on cutlery, and taking years to pronounce certain sounds—highlighting everyday challenges many people experience but struggle to explain.

We dive into:

• Why DCD is still under-recognised despite affecting millions

• How it impacts coordination, speech, learning, confidence and daily life

• The emotional toll on individuals and families

• What schools, workplaces, and communities can do to offer better support

• The urgent need for early awareness and understanding

Whether you’re learning about DCD for the first time or want to deepen your awareness, this episode opens the door to empathy, insight, and change.

We explore the transformative impact of diagnosis on adults, the growing recognition of dyslexia in the workplace, and how access to formal assessments influences support in education and employment. At the same time, we unpack the argument that interventions should be based on need—not labels.

For many, it’s a lightbulb moment—bringing clarity, relief, and a surge in self-confidence after years of silent struggle.

We’ll break down why so many people in the UK are still being missed by the education system, what the diagnostic process looks like, and how adult diagnosis can unlock potential, heal self-esteem, and even fuel new purpose. Whether you’re neurodivergent yourself or know someone who is, this episode will open your eyes to the life-changing importance of recognising dyslexia later in life.

The UK government recently announced a reprieve for 157 BTEC qualifications initially slated for defunding, sparking debates about the future of education. But how does this decision impact neurodiverse students? In this episode of Unpacking Neurodiversity, we dive deep into the tension between T Levels and other qualifications, exploring whether these changes truly accommodate diverse learning needs or limit opportunities for those who don’t fit a one-size-fits-all system.
