My Dyslexia Strengths

Personally, I don't think I have any, I suffer all the typical issues that dyslexics have. If there are any that I do have then it might have gone hand in hand with my autism. I have mentioned in other blogs that in the many years I've had 2 dyslexia test, one in primary and one in university.


Even though both didn't really give me a helping hand, but I had to improve myself, to make me look like I'm a normal person. This was due to the amount I have read in different medias; like playing games, reading books and graphic novels, and even writing. Mostly it was essays, but I did have some creative writing outlets from time to time.


I do recall at university among all the coursework I had to do, I ended up writing a 25-page short story. And all that was based on was a dream on the day. And once it was all written out, I sent it to the person who I had the dream about, and they loved it. Fast forward a year and I had picked script writing as an elective and I modified the story I had wrote into a script. And it was one of my highest scoring grades I had throughout my university life. Have I used those skills since, NOPE.


If you struggle with dyslexia, just take your time, and let people know that you might need a little extra time.
