I discovered a downloadable font that's been designed specifically to help people with dyslexia to read better. I thought it was kind of interesting and thought I'd share it since I think a lot of members here struggle with dyslexia, and who knows, maybe it'll help someone. It's called dyslexie. What do you guys think? http://studiostudio.nl/

Giving up doesn't always mean you're weak.
Sometimes it just means you're strong enough to let go.
I have dyspraxia and do sometimes have trouble with fonts if it's small writing. That font looks horrible, I don't think it would help me at all.
The thing that does help is my purple glasses as they mean that there is less contrast between the font and the page. You can get overlays as well I think to see which colour suits you best.
The world is just illusion always trying to change me.
You will find wonder wherever you can, and spread joy whenever you are able.

I love how I've been diagnosed with it since I was like 15 and have never before googled or even particularly thought much about it, have now done so and the stuff Wiki tells me explains so much stuff I just thought I was thick at ;-p I think I've just always focused more on my discalculia as that has tended to affect my life more.

I don't even remember when I got diagnosed, I think it was when I failed the 11 plus, just so that I could actually get into the school I appied for. Haha.
Fair enough, I guess it's natural to pay most attention to the thing that is causing you the most difficulty and stuffs...

Definitely! Also with lot of other learning kinda things too (such as autistic spectrum disoders).
My dad has both too, my bro got the dyslexia and I got the dyspraxia. Haha.

Yes! That is definitely a good idea! Invent it and make millions.
