Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A Journey with Dyslexia” is an educational descriptive Essay of 16680 words about Peter (77) and his experiences in overcoming dyslexia. Peter started exploring dyslexia when he was diagnosed at age 23. He has taught himself to read and write and now feels he has the knowledge to help dyslexic sufferers and school teachers. His educational handbook describes procedures for creating neural pathways that could enable sufferers to learn to read and write. Peter experienced frustration, discrimination, lack of confidence, and poor self-esteem. He overcame all the trials. With sixty years of personal experience, Peter now understands what happened to him and continues to progress. In his early childhood, he had many negative experiences that caused extreme stress. He started to realise that he was not stupid and that he might even be intelligent. Through determination, he looked for clues that linked every part of his life and formed a complete picture of his dyslexic experience. He used this to compile evidence of his experience with dyslexia and its many traits. However, with the techniques that helped him, he helped others develop neural pathways. At fifty-five, after purchasing a computer, he wrote a story, fulfilling a lifelong wish. After writing it he found he could read novels, understand the story, its twists and turns, and remember the plot. To date, he has written six unpublished fantasy novels. At sixty-seven, He was diagnosed as autistic and needed to reassess his dyslexic journey in the light of this diagnosis. In his seventies, Peter understood his journey had come full circle. He had beneficial knowledge to share with teachers, students, and parents. He used the strategies he developed for himself to help others.
