My Honeydew this week is comedian Phil Hanley! Check out Phil’s latest book, Spellbound: My Life as a Dyslexic Wordsmith. Phil joins me this week to Highlight the Lowlights of his experience with Dyslexia. From experimental needles in his head, multiple medication trials, to being enrolled in special education classes, Phil shares how he made it to senior year of Highschool before getting a proper diagnosis. We discuss some of the specific ways Dyslexia affects Phil’s everyday life, how ADHD and OCD also play into the picture, and how despite it all he was still able to write and publish his own book.
