Peter James Wilson’s A Journey with Dyslexia is more than just his life story—it’s an invitation to see the world differently, to support people who learn in unique ways, and to work toward a kinder, more inclusive society.
Dyslexia comes from the Greek language and means …”difficulty with words”.
Diagnosed with dyslexia at 23, Peter taught himself to read and write. His educational handbook describes creating neural pathways to help others learn. Despite facing frustration and discrimination, Peter overcame these challenges and now shares his knowledge with teachers and students.
At fifty-five, after purchasing a computer, he authored 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 To date, he has written six unpublished fantasy novels.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 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.
Whether you are dealing with dyslexia or you are simply curious, this memoir will leave you with a fresh perspective and plenty of hope.Through sharing his own journey with dyslexia, and that of others, he gives us a window into what is experienced by individuals living with dyslexia.
