Picture this: You spend 47 minutes crafting the perfect dating app profile. You research potential matches like you're writing a dissertation. You analyze their photos, decode their bio, stalk their Spotify playlist.

But when's the last time you put that same energy into getting to know YOUR dyslexia?

Most of us are living with a complete stranger.

Living the Single Life

Here's the rub: You know more about your favorite Netflix character's backstory than your own dyslexia.

You've been operating on a self-assessment from third grade.

That profile needs an UPDATE.

________________________________________________________________

Swipe Right on Your LEX

What if you approached your dyslexia like you were trying to win it over? With curiosity instead of judgment. With "tell me more" instead of "here we go again."

Because…. the more you actually KNOW your LEX, the clearer your choices become.

After all, you can't leverage what you don't understand.

LEX DATING 101

PHASE 1: Create Your Dating Profile

(Because you need to know what you're working with)

Your "Interests" Section: Use Made by Dyslexia's 6 Thinking Skills as your starting point:

• Visualizing (your mind's movie theater)

• Imagining (your idea factory)

• Communicating (your connection abilities)

• Reasoning (your pattern detective work)

• Connecting (your dot-joining magic)

• Exploring (your curiosity engine)

Rate yourself 1-5 in each. Be honest.

PHASE 2: Getting to Know You

(Weekly dates with different sides of your LEX)

Monday - Visualizing Date:
Notice how you picture things. Do you see the whole forest or zoom into individual leaves? Both? Neither?

Wednesday - Reasoning Date:
Track your problem-solving style. Do you work backwards? Jump around? Connect random dots that somehow make sense?

Friday - Communication Date:
Pay attention to how you explain things. Stories? Examples? Hand gestures that could direct air traffic?

PHASE 3: Going Steady

(The Next-Level AI Hack That Changes Everything)

Here's where it gets SPICY.

Remember all those assessments collecting digital dust? Personality tests, old psych evals, that career quiz from 2019?

Check your emails, folders and drives - Collect them ALL.

Feed them to AI with this prompt (edit as you see fit):

"Based on these assessments and my dyslexic thinking profile, analyze my unique combination of traits and help me understand: What specific skills and characteristics do I possess that I might be undervaluing or completely missing? How do these traits create advantages in professional settings? What career paths, roles, or industries would naturally amplify my strengths? What communication approaches would feel most authentic and effective for me? What work environments, team dynamics, and daily structures would help me perform at my best? What potential blind spots should I be aware of, and how can I work with them rather than against them? Finally, based on all of this data, what would be the most strategic next steps for leveraging my unique profile?"

PHASE 4: Fascination

(Because sometimes you need outside perspective)

Download Sally Hogshead's Fascinate Assessment. I’m not affiliated - I’m a big fan and here’s why.

Because it flips the script entirely.

Unlike other personality assessments that measure how YOU see the world, this one reveals how the WORLD sees you when you’re at your best.

It shows you what others find compelling about you; the qualities that make people listen, remember, and engage with you.

It asks How you fascinate others?

You Incomplete Me

Most dyslexics are making major life decisions based on who they think they are, not who they actually are.

You could be choosing careers, relationships, and goals using outdated or incomplete data.

We Need to Talk

As a deep dive into myself, I gathered multiple assessments going back over a decade, including DISC, Thomas PPA, LEX and ADHD reports.

I strategized with AI by including my future goals and getting tailored-made roadmaps based on my Unique Dyslexic Profile.

This process, collectively, goes deeper and wider than any of these reports do on their own.

That’s because YOU’RE asking the questions!

You & Dyslexia’s Relationship Status

Right now, you might be:

• "Just Friends" (I acknowledge my dyslexia exists)

• "It's Complicated" (Some days I love it, some days I don't)

• "In a Situationship" (We're figuring it out together)

• "Ride or Die" (This is my power source and I'm owning it)

The goal isn't reaching Perfection, it’s to Connect.

________________________________________________________________

Here’s Where the Magic Happens

When you understand your dyslexic profile, decisions become clearer:

• Should you take that promotion that requires tons of detail work?

• Is freelancing or corporate life better for YOUR brain?

• Which environments help you think vs. drain you?

• What communication style makes YOU shine?

• How do people view you professionally?

• What are some of your best qualities?

Stop trying to force marshmallows into keyholes; design life around your Operating System instead.

You Matched! Meet Your Zone of Power

Your Zone of Power isn't some mystical place you stumble into.

It's what happens when you stop being a stranger to yourself.

It’s when your passion, energy, skills and capabilities aren't fighting each other because you finally understand how they work together.

The best relationship you'll ever have is the one you build with yourself.

So... are you ready to swipe right and Date Your Dyslexia?

P.S. - If dating metaphors aren't your thing, think of this as a professional consultation with the most important person in your life: YOU.
