Let's go beyond reading, writing & spelling.
When I started the Truth About Dyslexia podcast I never thought it would get over a million downloads.
I was naieve and thought if I could change just 1 life it would be enough.
Thte podcast was created for me. To share my inner most thoughts, lessons and bring on the occasional guest who understands those of us with Dyslexia and ADHD.
Over the years I have been on a journey of self discovery. I learned along the way I have ADHD and most likely a bit of Autism.
I have suffered with moments of Depression and days of anxiety that have been tough. But using different methodologies from Red Light Therapy to Keto diets I am always improving.
The podcast is not going to teach you how to spell dog the right way. But will help you understand why you overthink and why you find hard things easy, and easy things hard (and much more). I hope you enjoy an d if you do give me a review.. if you remember lol!
Adult Dyslexia Podcast
Being diagnosed with dyslexia as an adult can feel like someone finally turned the lights on.
You're not broken. You were just never told the truth.
In fact, more and more adults are discovering they have dyslexia later in life.
Just recently, a 66-year-old joined our Truth About Dyslexia Facebook community. That moment hit me — hard. How many of us were missed?
Why So Many Adults Were Never Diagnosed with Dyslexia
If you’re over 35, chances are your school never even considered the possibility.
Back then, dyslexia wasn’t well understood. It was expensive to diagnose. And let’s face it — many of us learned to mask it just enough to get by. Struggling quietly. Adapting constantly.
Today, we see adults realising they may be dyslexic after a child or grandchild is diagnosed. It is heredetary after all.
That’s exactly why this podcast exists.
💬 What Truth About Dyslexia Is All About
This is not your standard dyslexia podcast.
It’s real, raw, and practical.
I (Stephen) share what I’ve learned, what I’m still figuring out, and the often-unspoken struggles that come with living life as an adult with dyslexia.
Most episodes are short — between 7 and 15 minutes — because I know exactly what it’s like to have a wandering mind. I pack them with insights you can use. No fluff, no filler.
From time to time, I bring on guests — experts, educators, or others living with dyslexia — to hear their take on what’s working and what’s still frustrating.
🎧 Why Listen to the Adult Dyslexia Podcast?
Over 986,000 downloads and counting.
Listeners tell me the podcast feels like someone finally gets it. Like you’re not alone in the madness anymore.
Topics I Cover:
- Being diagnosed later in life
- Working with dyslexia (and making it work for you)
- Entrepreneurship & career
- Relationships & confidence
- ADHD, anxiety, and emotional regulation
- Parenting kids with dyslexia (as an adult with it)
- And even the odd episode mentioning… Donald Trump 🧐
The podcast doesn’t focus heavily on reading or spelling — we go deeper than that.
We talk about the mental load, the emotional patterns, and the hidden struggles no one explained to you at school.
