Dyslexia

Dyslexic people think faster than they can read.

People with the dyslexic neurotype struggle to parse written language. Though this neurotype can often come with associated shame, it’s important to understand the underlying mechanics: dyslexic people process information so quickly that their eyes can’t keep up.

It’s not that they’re “stupid”, whatever that means. It’s that their brains are working so fast that written text trips them up because they have to slow down so much to make sense of it. Imagine how frustrating that would be!

⁠

A guided shadow work journal with over 100 writing prompts specifically tailored for Neurodivergents, by a Neurodivergent author. Shadow work is the process of getting to know the hidden parts of yourself—thoughts, emotions, behaviours and parts of your personality that you’ve repressed because you were taught that they were undesirable or because of trauma. By bringing these hidden aspects to light, you get to understand yourself better and work towards self-acceptance.
