Thanks to the invention of the computer and information technology, my world changed. (Both of my children were diagnosed with dyslexia, one at the age of seven and one much later, although, I could see my traits present in him, and both have excelled academically in their chosen professions.) I wasn't diagnosed with dyslexia until I attended university at the age of thirty. So writing a few paragraphs usually made me sweat.Īs a child I discovered coping strategies and developed my own ways of getting by, I wasn’t stupid by any stretch of the imagination, but left school at fifteen without any academic qualifications. The thought of doing this, was something I never thought I would entertain, because being dyslexic, during my childhood and adolescence, I found it very difficult to get past how to spell something, never mind how coherent the sentence sounded. People continually tell me I have an ability to tell a story and make even the mundane sound interesting. I have lived my whole life with comments from both, relative strangers and close friends telling me I should write a book.
