    I also have dyslexia. I learned to perceive words as a painting with different contours was because I spell words better and then the reading also came into place. I think it is very individual what kind of tools you should use to get rid of your dyslexia. The paintings were my tool because I just love art and my brain accepted it.

    What a lovely guy. So honesty in this programme. I love his motivation, drive, determination. My takeaway from this programme: that many people who go wayward and that are perceived to be lagging behind in society wouldn't be if they had the right support from early on. That it's never too late to turn your life around, whether it's from an educational or mental health stance.

    • @MindMaelstrom

      If you can read well on your own it probably isn't dyslexia. Maybe some sort of anxiety of public demonstration? I went once on local television for an interview for an highschool project and started stuttering and repeating the same answers of a colleague of mine before me... And that was baffling for me since I had theatre lessons for over 3 years and even though I'm an introvert I always managed talking to a public.

    How did Jay Blades pass his driving test if he couldn't read? Surely in the test he'd be asked to read a number plate to the examiner and understand road signs - many of which have text and numbers on them.
    What about his glasses? If prescription, how did he get his eyes tested? You have to read letters. I'm intrigued by all this.

    • @n-gauge-us5219
      @n-gauge-us5219 Před rokem +1

      People with very low functional literacy often memorize the meanings of signs by shape, so road signs are not as big a stumbling block as you would think. That said, he might not have his driving license; it isn’t that uncommon for people in the UK not to. In terms of eye tests, one, he probably knew the names of letters, and two, he could tell the examiner that he is dyslexic and they can fit him based on perceived blurriness- actually being able to read the letters aloud isn’t very relevant for an eye exam.
