Please provide some do's and don'ts on living with dyslexia.

Ignore: Do not delay in identifying kids with dyslexia. Dyslexia do run in families.

Ignore: Slowdown you're thinking while you're talking, reading.

Ignore: There are many forms of dyslexia. Most can be overcome greatly with persistence over time.

Ignore: Don't let your dyslexia dominate your life! Find your talents and invest in them.

Ignore: Like some can't sing, some have trouble decoding written language. Don't hide. Learn workarounds.

Ignore: Read from heavy (so you can't see the other side), matte (non-glossy) paper. Less distracting!

Ignore: Don't print onto or read from white paper—too visually distracting! Do use light pastel or cream.

Ignore: Take your time, don't rush; hang loose and all is well.

Ignore: Language delays are the earliest and most common risk factor for further developmental difficulties.

Ignore: Do practice and use a tutor with a phonetic approach. It gets better with time!

Ignore: Never underestimate your ability to think and to understand what most of us cannot.

Learn: Learn your strengths, as these must be leveraged in your real-life struggles to compete.

Don't: Don't let shame, lack of self-belief and fear of judgement hold you back.

Ignore: Many people with dyslexia are also affected with dyscalculia. Early treatment is imperative.
