If you or a loved one have dyslexia you know how incredibly frustrating it can be to explain the condition and its effects to people who have no experience of it.
For children who live with dyslexia, school can be a veritable battlefield as they navigate day-to-day life in a classroom filled with signs, notices and books which do not appear the same way to them as they do to their peers.
In an effort to offer an insight into the lived experience of someone with dyslexia, Victor Widdell created a script which randomly swaps letters and jumbles words in a short passage which was posted online amd inspired by a friend of his.
Attempting to keep up with fellow pupils who don't have to endure the frustration brought about the condition, children with dyslexia can become mentally and emotionally drained by something which many people fail to properly understand.
Commenting on the simulation which has been published on Dsxyliea, Victor explained: "A friend who has dyslexia described to me how she experiences reading. She can read, but it takes a lot of concentration, and the letters seem to 'jump around."
While thankfully not every person living with dyslexia is confronted with as intense an experience as Widdell attempts to create, unfortunately some are.
