Dyslexia in Adults - with Natalie Brooks

Natalie Brooks is the founder of Dyslexia in Adults, a company that works to create a safe and creative space to discuss both the challenges and strengths of being an adult with dyslexia.

● How a working environment that benefits dyslexic employees can also benefit everyone at work
● Her own struggles with self-doubt and low self-confidence at work

Thank you for this. I’ve struggled with dyslexia my whole life. So much of what Natalie said resonated with my own experience. 😊

I it’s so hard that you have a disability that nobody sees.. I’m on the verge of being fired at my job from last year complete discrimination against somebody with a disability .. People with dyslexia just don’t been in the same box.

It said that Dyslexia effects 5 to 20% of the population. I was lucky mine was diagnosed @ the age of 12 in 1966.Since my Child hood development progressed as what was expected expected unti I started School. Question is how many more go undiagnosed ?
