This book unmasks the many faces of Dyslexia and other challenges. The author reveals that dyslexia is not just a reading and spelling difficulty but a different way of relating to the environment influencing all aspects of the person's life. As a child he faced the challenges of dyslexia, confused handedness, nonverbal communication as well as the derision and ridicule of his schoolmates. He sheds light on the way his challenges affected him as a teenager. He shares his social misadventures with sincerity, frankness and honesty that allow the reader to feel his pain and to glory in his achievements. Through out the work he brings hope as he demonstrates that a dyslexic person can succeed as an undergraduate and graduate student and be successful in the world of work as well. Although the experiences were sometimes painful he was still able to see the humorous side and even laugh at himself. Dyslexia: Different not Disabled is an inspiration. It presents such revealing insights into the world of the dyslexic that it makes interesting general reading but compulsory reading for researchers, concerned and teachers.
