As a dyslexic, learning what jobs NOT to apply for is helpful. It's helpful to know to avoid data enty or proofreading jobs. But I'd also like to know more about what types of jobs to look for as a dyslexic.
1) Copy this text make it 14 point san serf double spaced. 2) Find passionate value based experts that interest you. 3) I cannot write a computer program, but I had to write them. Two people gave me guidance: a) Start by knowing what the program is supposed to do. Read the assignment. What is the output? Ask again and again. Learn pseudo-code, then transfer it into the required programming language. 4) be patient with yourself and others. 5) If you cannot do the whole job - find short term and long term partners 6) appreciate your partners especially when they are clueless. Best wishes,
Jobs that require problem solving. This can be anything from building to scientist or artists. Anything that involves creative problem solving and strategy.. In NLP there's a metaprogram (characteristic) that has Detail at one end and Global at the other. A detailed person loves to enter data, organise, follow rules and procedures and sort etc. Global people like to understand concepts and overall perceptions, know what the gist is and propose solutions etc. In short Dyslexics tend to have a more "global" perspective in that only want to know the detail to see what value or flaws ghere are etc. But creativity/problem solving is what interests us most. Hope that was useful
Hello I have been listening to the Dyslexic Advantage Book for several years. I have completed chapter 4 or 5.; 4 or 5 times. I don't feel pressure to complete the book, so I let myself react, remember, connect past events good and sad, rewrite my internal stories and more recently identify when I leaned into my big picture. For example I have written papers published by the National Academy of Science. I have trouble reading what I wrote. I really cannot read out loud what I wrote. But I can speed read complex text; forget most of the stuff and grab the core message. I was blessed with family, teachers and mentors, especially from 1 -20 years, who expected me to do things I liked and do things I did not find interesting. I believe my super power is not being afraid of the pain of failure. Thank you for the work you are doing.
As a dyslexic I think there is still a long way before corporations effectively welcome dyslexic professionals and unleash them enough room to let them bloom. I congratulate Dr Brock and Dr Fernette for the book and also "Dyslexia Explored" for the podcast. Every single initiative is essential in order to reduce misunderstandings and prejudices.
Thank you for this clarity. 🙏 I love this talk, and I am there, dyslexic,. College too me forever. , It would take 3-10 times as long to do a simple test, yet I was an A student in college. I have working memory overload, I wish when I was tested in this 30 years ago. My partner, dyslexic, he can't comprehend basic things and freezes. Yes he can follow the most abstract ideas,. ... I was not diagnosed, just gave me 16 pages on how my brain may work. We need more doctors trained in adult dyslexia.
I am in my late 40s and I have found assistive technology to support me with my dyslexia about 10 years ago. I went back to college as a non-traditional to learn how to help myself and my boys ADHD. The one annoying issue I have found with Google read aloud is it doesn't know the difference between what Dr. & St. Is it doctor or drive? Is it Street or Saint? In reading books it's usually doctor and Saint. But it usually defaults to street and drive. I think the initial programming was for GPS reasons.
Darius, this was a barnstorming episode, I’ve replayed some parts several times and am sharing with my network. Appreciate the work you do and your informed, curious, clear questioning so much. Cheers from my - very autumnal - bit of the Southern Hemisphere 🌏🍂🦘
Chat gpt. Yes, I agree I am currently going back to school and my son told me about this thing called chat gpt and I looked into it. I was a little bit shocked that kids and college students already was using this stuff before me. It made my life a lot easier to form my thoughts into almost like an outline (my thoughts are quite scattered.) It saved me a lot of time and when writing an essay I was able to apply relatable real life experience to finish off my essay. Yes, people can say this is cheating, but I actually love learning new stuff and used it towards that. I am of course concerned that kids with not a lot of life experience can just put together an essay off chat gpt and not learn a thing.

Making people conform to perverse languages with perverse spellings and perverse alphabets is utterly Perverse. Much better to ensure that language, spelling and alphabets conform to the needs of humanity. When researching the history of our current languages we see that is a complete mixture of different unrelated ones, with uniques spelling styles. Additional complications were caused and introduced by british academics who decided to alter simplistic spellings by adding unpronounced letters ed in ‘debt’, ‘comb’, etc. Was this an effort, a deliberate effort to maintain their own status as ‘intellectuals’? In effect, these academic morons have ensured the loss of highly intelligent people’s input into society, and the status quo is thus made up of conventional robots. No wonder modern society is in the doldrums. And yes, I also am ‘dyslectic’, but to me, I am Normal! One question I have - how many so-called dyslexic people were forced by parents, teachers, peers to change from being left-handed by nature, to being right-handed by convention? Just a question.
Huh? "Go for lo-level jobs".Where did they say THAT? I heard just the opposite. I heard them say that low-level jobs can be more problematic than higher-level jobs.

The audio is really good compared to most zoom calls, very helpful for listening to ❤

Thanks! Much appreciated!
I'm 48, never diagnosed until 46 at great expenses, and the only advantage I see is to get it sorted asp as I don't see any till now.

Great perspective.
Some say the number of Dyslexic's is about 20% of the population. Higher % in prisons and Corporate leaders.
This is VERY out dated. Many dyslexics are highly intelligent , low level jobs are not for then. and yes you are missing the point.
Huh? "Go for lo-level jobs".Where did they say THAT? I heard just the opposite. I heard them say that low-level jobs can be more problematic than higher-level jobs.
chat gpt helped me a lot.
