Learning Of Dyslexia

Kaiya Stone, a comedian, found out that she had learning difficulty called dyslexia and several others while she was at Oxford University. She has written a show about the experience. She was diagnosed so late in life because she moved around between schools a lot as a child, but later teachers were dismissive of her struggles as well. While she now has received treatment for the conditions, she thinks that the education system should make some changes as well.
