Episode 88: Digital communications manager Jodie Adam shares the story of getting fired multiple times for being secretly dyslexic and why he now feels strongly about calling himself the Dyslexic Writ

"Never be ashamed of what it is. The only reason dyslexia will ever be a problem in your life is if you don't tell people about it. Tell them about it as soon as you think you are, as soon as you are diagnosed tell people and start to wear it as your badge. It will always be who you are. Your decision is whether you try and hide it and hence hide who you really or you wear it brazenly like a badge; this is who I am and be proud of who you are and be proud of your dyslexia." -Jodie Adam, The Dyslexic Writer  Check out Jodie's website here. This will also bring you to the page to send him your own dyslexic story to be included in his upcoming book, The Freedom To Make Mistakes. 

Om Podcasten

I, like many dyslexics, (sadly) grew up thinking I was stupid. I don’t want anyone else thinking they are dumb, less valued than those around them, or not good enough because their brain isn’t “normal.” That’s why I created the Dyslexia Is Our Superpower Podcast. Episode by episode a community of badass dyslexics has formed to show the world that dyslexia truly is a superpower. So whether you are a family member or educator of an awesome dyslexic or whether you have dyslexic superpowers yourself I welcome you to the tribe. In April 2019 the podcast changed direction a bit to include a very important audience: dyslexic kids. The Treasuring Your Dyslexic Superpowers series is a two part show. The first includes Super D, the dyslexic superhero as he goes on adventures helping dyslexics understand their brains better and realize they are beautiful not broken. And the second is an interview with a real life dyslexic superhero. Episodes come out every Tuesday and alternate between a chat with a real life dyslexic superhero and an adventure with Super D, the dyslexic superhero.
