What happens when a “Dyslexic” ends up going to Art School only to find out during his “color theory” class that he was also colorblind?

He did what most dyslexics do: He worked around “it”. He didn’t say anything about “it”. He did just fine… if not better because of “it”.
Communication has always been my goal. I could not write what I needed to communicate so I had to figure out other ways. Being a “severe dyslexic” made traditional learning not very user friendly for me. So I have always had to figure out other ways to do the same things as everyone else. This turned out to be a gift when it comes to communication of all types, not just written, but spoken, user experience, graphical and intra-office communication.

Because of this “Disability” I was labeled with: I am fascinated with communication and the way the brain works. In this great digital world we live in we have so many great choices on how we communicate. We have options to reach more people today than ever before. How are we utilizing this to our advantage? Are we forgetting that we are social creatures and that with the advances in communication we can get our point across to the world… how cool is that? But are we forgetting about the person on the other side of that cubical wall. Communication is also all about getting the individuals to work together as a team. The more we communicate in the office the better our brand, the happier our life.

I am passionate about:

Learning more about how the brain works especially with Communication and Learning

Online and Social Media, how the way we use the web is how we shape the web,  trends and their effect on small and large business.

Communicating with fellow Dyslexia, and how this “dysfunction” turned out can be our biggest asset. 

So my new goal is to communicate with you about 365 new things I am going to learn. I love to learn and the best way I learn is through stories and verbal and graphical, so I will be sharing with you my daily journal of learning things. Being a true dyslexic… we tend to like experimenting to see how things work and what we can use this for? So I hope you like what you see and if you are interested in this stuff and have a question feel free to ask.

My Idea of fun is teaching my clients how to use and build a better online brand, or public speaking for small companies teaching them how to create a stronger team and use their employee’s abilities to the fullest or whether it be through laughs in a comedy club telling jokes or from stories about my life as a dyslexic during a keynote. I want to inspire!

Here is the Wikipedia page for dyslexia. I have to say its more than reading and math, and it comes with a bunch of added bonuses, once you learn to use your “Dyslexic Brain” the way it was built rather than try to fit into the learning process of the non Dyslexics. 

Dyslexia is a very broad term defining a learning disability that impairs a person’s fluency or comprehension accuracy in being able to read, and which can manifest itself as a difficulty with phonological awareness, phonological decoding, orthographic coding, auditory short-term memory, or rapid naming. Dyslexia is separate and distinct from reading difficulties resulting from other causes, such as a non-neurological deficiency with vision or hearing, or from poor or inadequate reading instruction. It is believed that dyslexia can affect between 5 to 10 percent of a given population although there have been no studies to indicate an accurate percentage. There are three proposed cognitive subtypes of dyslexia: auditory, visual and attention. Reading disabilities, or dyslexia, is the most common learning disability, although in research literature it is considered to be a receptive language-based learning disability.

Accomplished adult dyslexics may be able to read with good comprehension, but they tend to read more slowly than non-dyslexics and may perform more poorly at nonsense word reading (a measure of phonological awareness) and spelling.  Dyslexia is not an intellectual disability, since dyslexia and IQ are not interrelated, as a result of cognition developing independently
