A very honest interview. BBC News – Charley Boorman on a childhood spent with dyslexia.
A great start to a Friday
A great start to a Friday invoicing what could be better. It wouldn’t be possible without the freedom of the reading and writing software on my computer. It makes me feel complete somehow, means you can take responsibility for your own reading and writing needs.
Self Serve Checkouts
The last couple of days I have been to B&Q and Tesco’s and used their self serve checkouts for the first time I was extremely impressed with B&Q. Tesco’s needs a bit more work on their software to become more dyslexia friendly. One of my goals in life Is getting the supermarkets more dyslexia friendly. Kent libraries are a shining example with dealing with dyslexics ironically there are millions of books with a little help from me with the workshops they hold for their staff once a year.
Watched Avatar last night
Watched Avatar last night, a fantastic film but doesn’t it get spoilt for a dyslexic person when the subtitles come up. You would think with all this technology we have they could sort something out so it could be read to you may be through your telephone.

The Daily Dyslexic Battle
Last night I watched Lord of the Rings I’m sure you have seen a film. The thing it reminded me of with dyslexia it can take ages to get to the place you want to get to with your reading and writing and you sometimes fall down like they did time and time again in the film. But they always found the energy from somewhere to get back up all their friends help them to achieve their goals. What I’m trying to say is that because we struggle with dyslexia to get to our goals there is always something there to help you, like reading and writing software or somebody to tell you that elusive word you are struggling with.
Sorting out your self worth
Until the Government sort out are self worth the issue of confidence will always rear its ugly head. I know I was in that place for years that awakening is one of the best feelings you can have in your whole life. Believe in yourself and the possibilities are endless go on take that step you will be glad you did. It doesn’t matter what disability you have just go out and be the person you always wanted to be you will be amazed how far you can go.
Is dyslexia a gift.
People ask me quite often do you think dyslexia is a gift. I have thought about it into the night sometimes and if struggling every day and brain fog is a gift then yes it is. The one thing dyslexia has given me is becoming a entrepreneur because my brain thinks out of the box all the time so maybe that is a gift leave that one for you to decide. Dyslexic Entrepreneur
