We went to a talk yesterday at Joey's school yesterday give by Phillip Schulz, Pulitzer Prize winner for poetry.  He couldn't read until he was 11 yrs old, always had difficulties in reading easily and was only realised he was dyslexic when his son was diagnosed when Schulz was 58 years old.  Very moving.  Tears in the eyes stuff.  It reminded us both how challenging it can be to be dyslexic but also how it can be overcome and how it can bring gifts with it - verbal skills, imagination, energy, and creativity amongst others.

He also - almost as an aside - suggested writing in the 3rd person when writing about yourself.  So I will try that and see how it goes!
