Look at the Channel 4 programmes that were broadcast last summer.
Look at Susan Hampshire: Every letter counts;
Eileen Simpson: Reversals
Anything by Ginny Stacey.
Rydern: Dyslexia - how would I cope?
"Dyslexia Contact", the newsletter of the British Dyslexia Assoc, which has
a writings by dysl people in it every month.
And their leaflet "Sign of the Times" with a wonderful colourful image of
dyslexia in it, done by a dyslexic artist.(I've got a lot of copies if you
want one.)
And also the Arts Dyslexia Trust.
And some heart-rending stuff in Janice Edwards: The Scars of Dyslexia;
Riddick: Students with Dyslexia. Osmond: The Reality of dyslexia.
That's to just to start -I'm sure you'll get a lot more from other people!
