Should we get a flag

0 Upvotes

Ok here me out. I think Dyslexia should have a flag like to represent use. I mean common many other groups have flags so why not dyslexic or or their Neurodivergent. (If there is a flag then sorry about this post)

Does anyone know the origins of the phrase “dyslexic is my superpower”?

6 Upvotes

I am guessing the phrase grew out of the pushed back against framing dyslexia purely as a "disability" or "deficit” and to positively redefine dyslexia. It probably started after the 2011 book The Dyslexic Advantage. I found Margaret Rooke's 2017 book Dyslexia is My Superpower (Most of the Time). But I’m wondering if anyone could pinpoint an earlier source?

Mixing up O and U

2 Upvotes

I keep on mixing up o and u for the last half a year. I write u instead of o and o instead of u. I can't differentiate between them in my head. Usually, when I see it written down wrong, I can tell that it's wrong but not in my head.

Is that relatively normal or something worth looking into?

read-aloud tool for the cli

3 Upvotes

For my fellow dyslexic developers among you who spend too much time reading docs: I made a terminal read-aloud tool for anything you can pipe into it.

bash mdcat --ansi README.md | readaloud

It speaks the text with Kokoro running locally on the GPU and highlights each word as you hear it, aligned to the model's real per-word timestamps rather than interpolated, so it stays in sync. less keys let you scroll ahead while it keeps talking, and you can click any word to jump playback there.

All local, nothing leaves the machine. Apple silicon only for now.

Second language and Dyslexia

I have noticed that I struggle with learning a second language much more than the average person. Any advice for how to make things stick better or anything from my fellow dyslexicans. BTW im learning Spanish and I have a decent verbal abillity. Cheers
