Dyslexia Demystified: Insights for Success

Our guest today, Arije-Aike De Haas, is a YouTuber who is also dyslexic and has reached over 3 million people through his occupational content for dyslexics. He initially wrote about Video Education for Dyslexics during his M.A. but kept going since he got feedback from people who wanted to know more. He was hesitant to help people initially because he was unsure; however, he pushed himself because he understood the impact it would have on them. He now offers coaching for dyslexic adults.
Right from when he started learning to read, Arije noticed his learning differed from that of his mates. He also had to be given special attention to aid his learning in school, which showed him that he was not like other kids. Eventually, he was diagnosed at a centre in Holland and had regular visits to learn the fundamentals of living with Dyslexia. 

There are mental health issues linked to neurodiversity, one of which is Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD). 

Arije offers tailored coaching to neurodiverse individuals, focusing on what has happened in their childhood. 

Sarah and Arije are working on a workshop titled "How to manage your dyslexia.
