Mind Maps and Mapping your dyslexia

[CarolineLondon]

What a brilliant idea! I just found it on a website called dyslexic.org. It has examples and I think it's a brilliant idea, I'm going try it out today, to map not just my short comings of which there are plenty but some of the stuff I'm good at! Let me know please if you create one too. Heres an image I got from the site.

Would just like to point out Sue Bell is a woman who runs courses for dyslexics in Manchester her website is hi2u.org. I wish we had more people like her in London she seems to really understand the impact of stress and consequently fatigue on dyslexics.

You could also try the specially trained dyslexia teachers that work for Dyslexia Action. You can find your nearest Dyslexia Action Centre at the following address: dyslexiaaction.org.uk/find-us

I've heard about these and I know dyslexics who swear by them. Me, I tend to make very sloppy outlines that look even less organized but make sense to me. In fact I'm the only one who would call them outlines, everyone else who sees them argues with me that they aren't outlines at all.

Mind maps lays out dyslexic non-sequential thinking in a neat two-dimensional form. If you have to show your notes to some one like at work, I think even a left-brain thinker could follow a diagram like this.

Hi Thanks for your considered reply I just meant it would be interesting to do a mind map to better understand my own short comings and talents. Of course I haven't done it yet, procrastination being one of my talents

I think it's great you do outlines, very creative!

Apparently doing poorly with written directions is one of mine.

I have to get my thoughts on paper so I can think sequentially or at least look like I'm thinking sequentially.

Lol... I love the.... 'or at least look like I'm thinking sequentially'
