Synopsis
Now in its third edition, this accessible book describes and illustrates graphically how written communication can appear to a dyslexic, and how a dyslexic's efforts to communicate in this way can appear to others. Suggestions and hinys are given on how best to use the dyslexic's abilities to by-pass inabilities, and enable him or her to live a normal life in society. This book draws on the experiences of several people with dyslexia, including the author himself. It is intended to increase awareness of the experience of individuals with dyslexia and to reinforce positive attitudes towards dyslexics in parents, teachers and employers: to give the necessary knowledge of how a dyslexic is affected, and how to concentrate on their strong points in order to minimize the effects of dyslexia, and find a form of communication that is accessible to everyone concerned.

About the Author
Michael V. Ryden was diagnosed as dyslexic by Mr McDonald Critchley (London) in 1969, and then examined by an educational psychologist who reported an IQ rating of well above average. A further test in 1973 confirmed this. The only help that the local education authority was able to offer at that time was a suggestion that he be sent to a school for the educationally subnormal. He could not gain entrance to university in the United Kingdom because of his English grades, but was fortunate enough to go to a university in the United States of America where he obtained a BSc in Photography and Graphics. He is now starting a career in Photography.
