"How the hell am I going to write a whole book?"

Comedian Mo Gilligan told 大象传媒 5 Live's Nihal Arthanayake about his experiences with dyslexia and how he didn't think writing a book was a possibility.

Mo said his struggles with handwriting made him try harder to be better at typing.

鈥淚t was an easier way to see words I couldn鈥檛 spell and break it down,鈥� he said, adding he creates his own work using sequences in his head.

When he gets words wrong, he tries to own it and acknowledge his dyslexia.

鈥淚鈥檝e been on set and read an autocue and said the wrong word and had the whole audience laugh," Mo said.

Research shows that reading out loud can improve memory, bring communities together and help build confidence.
