Ten things that change my life as a dyslexic.
In school, I was always last. I did not learn to read until I was 12, can not spell to save myself, never won an academic award, and never went to university. I believed I was dumb. My first job out of school was as a groundskeeper; I mowed lawns.
As a groundskeeper, I purchased my first computer, a Tandy. That was the start of my journey to tech.
Now, here are the tools I use to give me superpowers with my dyslexia.
1. Speechify
2. Grammarly
3. Ugmonk
4. Pomodoro
5. Audible
6. Read Aloud In Outlook
