Human Living Library: Dyslexia (Huey)

“[If you have dyslexia] you might have to put in more work than your peers and that might be more difficult for you, but there's nothing stopping you from achieving.

Huey

Dyslexia

Here Huey talks about his life experiences with dyslexia and the impact of prejudice on his life. Huey highlights that having dyslexia doesn't mean someone is stupid or incapable of achieving success, he explains that it may simply take a little more work and focus for people with dyslexia.

Dyslexia is a general term for learning difficulties that involve difficulty in learning to read or interpret words, letters, and other symbols, but that do not affect general intelligence.
