Communication: A dyslexic minefield

As dyslexics we do not naturally think with words!

So when we are communicating with people it can really cause problems if we have a different idea/feeling or even visual image of what a word may mean.

I was reminded of this during the week.

We were in a meeting and I couldn’t get why the others weren’t as enthusiastic or as on board with my idea. In fact they seemed to be a bit resentful, I was so blindsided by this.

After the emotions had calmed down I realised that they had a different feeling and picture for the word equal.

It really reminded me that the best thing we can say to a dyslexic is, “what is your picture for that?” Or “what is the feeling attached to that word?”.

This way you can find out at the start if you have different images/ideas or feelings!
