Much of the current literature on dyslexia focuses on literacy and study, and in some ways `misses the point' - that it affects your whole life and your personality.

This book helps readers to understand how dyslexics feel and how they develop coping strategies; it will be enlightening for dyslexic people themselves, their parents and teachers/tutors. It is written in a non-academic style and will immediately strike a chord with readers who have experience (first or second hand) of this condition. It contains anecdotes and stories of personal experiences. Many dyslexic people also have dyspraxia and/or ADD, and the book considers the additional challenges presented by these overlapping conditions.
