Friends

The best and most import hack of them all. Surround yourself with great friends that you care about and they care about you. Your friends are great for proofreading that application you are about to make or website you have built (like the number of my friends who proofread this one). Not only a proofreader, you can have some fun times laughing and making humour of your dyslexic works. They’re a good sounding board for understanding the issue non-dyslexics have with things and highlighting your positive traits.
