Dyslexia Isn't the Problem, The English Language Is
In this episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott dive into life with dyslexia and how the quirks of the English language—like silent letters, inconsistent spelling, and grammar chaos—make reading and writing harder for neurodivergent minds.
🎤 In this episode, we explore:
- 🔤 Why English spelling feels like a cruel joke to dyslexic readers
- 🧠 What “brain muddle” really feels like during writing
- 📚 Tips for navigating reading and memory challenges
- 🎧 How audiobooks and alternative formats can level the playing field
- 🤯 The emotional impact of being misunderstood (and how to cope)
- ✍️ What it’s like to self-publish with dyslexia — the good, the bad, and the typo-ridden
If you’ve ever felt like your brain just doesn’t "get" English, this episode is for you!
