My Issues with non Dyslexics, not understanding Dyslexia

Quite recently I have had some very public and furious criticism and quite possibly the most cutting and hurtful was the criticism that revolves around my disability, with critics referring to me as ‘Thick’, ‘Illiterate’ & ’stupid’. All these points more hurtful because of the fact that they are inaccurate and are born out of ignorance, bigotry & a self serving desire to make themselves appear more intelligent at the expense of another.

I hope to in this article to explain my take on Dyslexia, recount some personal experiences and explain why public humiliation is not a good idea, my reasons for doing this are not only to get it all off my chest, move on and counter the stupidity but hopefully to illustrate to other people suffering from bigotry over a point of difference that they are not alone. Finally I hope to at least educate one or two would be perpetrators that it is not acceptable.
