Hello,

This is a page all about the differnt kind of learning difficulties that people live with every single day from the differnt types to celebritites who have not let it hold them back...

I was officially diagnosed with Dyslexia last year, after years of fighting to get help at both primary and secondary schools.

I found it really frustrating as I was told I was either “too bright” to receive help or “Dyslexia was holding me back from reaching my potential”, but no one other then my parents and my friend seem to be fighting my corner.

I just wanted to know whether I was dyslexic or not.

For me, Dyslexia was never something that was a big deal, until people found out and then they would ask me to write in simple or short sentence or even bullet points. Dyslexia does not mean I’m not intelligent, it just means I work slightly differently to others with spelling and English.

I support accessibility for disability because I want to be able to do whatever job I want to do without feeling like my Dyslexia defines who I am as a person or how I will be treated.
