An essential guide to understanding dyslexia—for dyslexic people and their families, friends, and workmates.

Dyslexia is a common condition that affects approximately one in ten people—both adults and children—but information on how to manage it is not as accessible as you might think.

Chanelle Moriah has already published bestselling books on autism and ADHD, helping countless people to feel less alone in their experiences. At the age of 25, Chanelle was diagnosed with dyslexia and decided to take another deep dive.

Chanelle shines the spotlight on dyslexia in their unique style, creating a simple resource that explains what dyslexia is and how it can impact the different areas of someone's life. I Am Dyslexic is a tool for both diagnosed and undiagnosed dyslexic people to explain or make sense of their experiences. It also offers non-dyslexic people the chance to learn more from someone who is dyslexic.

With clear sections explaining the many aspects of dyslexia, accompanied by Chanelle's beautiful illustrations, and with space for readers to write down their thoughts, this book is designed to be personalised to the individual's experience.

In I Am Dyslexic, Chanelle has produced another invaluable resource, bringing first-hand knowledge to an often-misunderstood condition.

About the Author

Chanelle Moriah (they/them) is a neurodivergent author and illustrator and is the author of the bestsellers I Am Autistic and This Is ADHD.

They are passionate about creating spaces of understanding to allow the freedom of individual expression. As someone diagnosed with dyslexia, ADHD and autism as an adult, they are passionate about bringing awareness to the different ways in which neurodivergence can present, and the importance of being able to live your life accordingly.

They hope that by sharing their life and experiences, and helping others to understand, they are reducing the harm and trauma (even if only for one person) that neurodivergent individuals face in existing in a neurotypical world.

Chanelle lives in Wellington and enjoys bubble tea, lego and sitting in the rain.
