In this video, I speak about the loneliness that many people with dyslexia can feel, especially if their reading difficulty hasn’t been identified and they’re not receiving any help or support for it. I discuss the ”masking” that can occur as a result, as a way to hide one’s dyslexia. At such times, it’s important to find support that offers a more positive view of one’s reading difficulties and gives clear steps to overcome them. The video provides information about many organizations or groups that advocate for dyslexic individuals, including national associations, online social networks, divisions of colleges and universities focused on neurodiversity, library adult reading classes, and more.
