I am a 62 year old male who was diagnosed a dyslexic at 16 (1967),
Many older dyslexics have not had the luxuries and privileges portrayed in this book . I believe this book paints a rather poor picture of what it is like growing up dyslexic.Her solution is to join her program and you will be mainstreamed. She omits too much to be considered a legitimate book on the subject. It is a sales pitch!
