About this listen

What happens when a dyslexic diagnosis comes long after the early elementary grades? In this episode, host Tracy Young sits down with her daughter, Alexandrine, to share Alex’s journey of discovering she was dyslexic.

They explore the missed “red flags,” the frustration of being misunderstood by teachers, and the challenges of advanced coursework. Their conversation details the path to obtaining an evaluation in high school and the validating power of a dyslexic diagnosis. The message offers hope, encouragement, and practical strategies for both parents and teens navigating a similar path.
