Dyslexia Is Our Superpower Podcast

I, like many dyslexics, (sadly) grew up thinking I was stupid. I don’t want anyone else thinking they are dumb, less valued than those around them, or not good enough because their brain isn’t “normal.” That’s why I created the Dyslexia Is Our Superpower Podcast. Episode by episode a community of incredible dyslexics has formed to show the world that dyslexia truly is a superpower. So whether you are a family member or educator of an awesome dyslexic or whether you have dyslexic superpowers yourself I welcome you to the tribe.

A new spin on things: Originally I had the idea to introduce the character Super D, the Dyslexic Superhero in a four part episode special. However, after the first episode was so well received I had to give into the requests for more and have changed the format of the podcast to include our dyslexic superhero friend as well as an interview from a real life dyslexic.

Episode 88: Digital communications manager Jodie Adam shares the story of getting fired multiple times for being secretly dyslexic and why he now feels strongly about calling himself the Dyslexic Writer and owning his dyslexia.

“Never be ashamed of what it is. The only reason dyslexia will ever be a problem in your life is if you don’t tell people about it. Tell them about it as soon as you think you are, as soon as you are diagnosed tell people and start to wear it as your badge. It will always be who you are. Your decision is whether you try and hide it and hence hide who you really or you wear it brazenly like a badge; this is who I am and be proud of who you are and be proud of your dyslexia.” -Jodie Adam, The Dyslexic Writer
