Hello. I just wanted some help and support. I am dyslexic but I can't help but want to write books but because my mind just gets sidetracked and I find it hard to concentrate. It is really hard. At the moment I'm writing a book called Antonio. I've only written a chapter but my spelling and grammar is bad. I just can't get out the story in my head onto paper. There was an agency in America who wanted to sign me for my book, but they wanted 20% of whatever I earned. I didn't know if this was right, so I didn't sign. I can't stop daydreaming and going into my own world and I can't talk out loud to people either. I find it hard and I avoid phoning people. I just text. Is there any help out there for me? I've heard you can put different color shades in glasses but does it work? My confidence and self-esteem is so low. I really want to be an author because I need to get my ideas out. It’s like there is a brick wall and I need help breaking it down. I live in England. Is there any help in my area?

I’m writing on behalf of my sister and her 8-year-old son, who has significant dyslexia. Everything I’ve read on your website has been eye-opening—it aligns with what my sister has been experiencing and trying to support. Her son struggles with school-related activities that should be fun, like plays and class parties, often becoming anxious and developing a tic, though he remains a kind and well-behaved child. He’s falling behind academically, and the school has provided little help, prompting my sister to consider moving and enrolling him in a specialized school. We’re concerned about the impact of such a big transition and are wondering if a behavioral or clinical psychologist could help. As a nurse, I’m frustrated that, despite England being a country known for its education system, dyslexic children like my nephew are still being let down.
