Dyslexia in Adults

  • Summary

  • Welcome to the Dyslexia in Adults podcast, a weekly podcast discussing the reality of dyslexia, but only in adults. I'm Natalie, the Founder of Dyslexia in Adults, and I am incredibly passionate about talking specifically about adult dyslexia. It frustrates me so much when people talk about child dyslexia with only a cursory mention of adult dyslexia. When you think about it, there are more adults with dyslexia as nearly seventy percent of the worlds population are over the age of eighteen! There is also a wave of adults being diagnosed with dyslexia later in life, with little or no information about how to navigate the challenges that are specific to adults with dyslexia. It also doesn’t help those people who want to help adults with dyslexia; line managers, work colleagues, friends, family, if the only information available is that to support children as opposed to what it means to have and support dyslexia in adulthood. I have rolled up my sleeves, and I am determined to create a space where we only talk about adult dyslexia. It's not part of the conversation, it is the conversation. Come and join the conversation and help us grow the community. All I ask is that, if you find the content valuable, please rate, review and share this podcast to help others find it.

    Episode 85 - What if You Became Best Friends with Deadlines?

    Welcome back!

    In this episode, we’re exploring how schools often misrepresent dyslexia, especially when it comes to teaching time management and handling deadlines. For many, these early experiences shape how we view deadlines in adulthood, making them feel like an impossible challenge.

    But what if you could become best friends with deadlines?

    We’ll dive into strategies that will help you shift your mindset around deadlines, turning them into a tool for success rather than a source of stress. From breaking tasks into manageable chunks to using tools designed for dyslexics, this episode will empower you to handle deadlines at work like never before.

    Plus, we'll share tips on how to communicate your unique needs with your boss or team to make sure deadlines work for you, not against you.

More please

Thank goodness I found you.
Despite feeling a bit sales-y, very much promoting paid for services within the business, I love listening to someone who really gets it, gets me and can eloquently describe exactly what I’m experiencing.
