Education
In this episode, a colleague and friend of my mother’s joined me to talk about his dyslexia. Jon was one of the first and youngest children ever to be diagnosed with dyslexia in the mid-70s. His mother was a teacher and fought for Jon’s learning difficulties to be recognised. He was tested and given much specialist support in how to overcome this condition. This testament was really special because I had never heard of anything like it and because it gives an insight into Jon’s journey into his career as a copywriter. He says that dyslexia was “taught out of him”.
