Customer Reviews

This book helped me

I am a young adult and I discovered that I was dylslexic just recently. This book provided comfort to me, as my condition has caused much pain in my life. I made many mistakes in my childhood that could have been avoided had my condition been diagnosed. As an adult, I was accused of a serious crime that I did not do. The good news in my life is that I now know what I am fighting. This book and others like it have showed me that I am not alone in this battle and that others have faced the same obstacles.

A must read for dyslexics

As a dyslexic who has been mocked and humiliated quite often (and to this day), I found it reassuring to see that there are people in the medical field who are not afraid to challenge the old-school paradigms. I hope that every dyslexic buys this book and others on the market as a way to help themselves, and also as a way to encourage research in this important area.
