I grew up with a visual dyslexia known as ‘Irlen syndrome’ or ‘Scotopic Sensitivity’ which I did not discover until I completed school. When I was diagnosed at age 16, I realised in hindsight, why I had excelled in some subjects and struggled in most. The few subjects that provided coloured handouts or handouts that we coloured ourselves, made it easier for me to see, learn, and retain.
