As someone diagnosed as #dyslexic as an adult, this chimes with my feelings. ‘[d]yslexia [has] caused me to distrust my intelligence which in turn [has] resulted in a lack of faith in my opinion [...] My lack of trust in my judgement [comes] from a fear of making mistakes.’

Being an independent scholar can be a lonely business, but recent correspondence with friends and colleagues around the globe reminds me that, if they can, they will help if you ask (nicely!).
