Visual Mind: 3 Dyslexic Realisations 11.10.2021

Dyslexia is a label. It is a label that with it brings a set of common traits. One of those traits is many of us have much much much more more powerful visual minds than the average person.

Dyslexia and Supplements - My Top Picks 23.08.2021

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.

Interview: Winning & Losing with Dyslexia 16.08.2021

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.

Dyslexia and ADHD in Adults 04.08.2021

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 i...
