It does a few things for me, generally I get stuck on words much less and am able to sight read words with less false interpretations. And after reading for an extensive period of time I feel less fatigued than I do with other main fonts. Even the punctuation is clearer, something I tend to miss meaning sentences weeve in to one another or quotes "" end up becoming part of the sentence which has had me very confused in the past.
Dyslexia is a very broad diagnosis, when I was statemented at about 7yo, I was told I have classical dyslexia (not sure this is an actual definition. Edit, this is not a formal definition and is a short hand for Phonological dyslexia "where the primary difficulty is in phonological processing, i.e., breaking down words into their component sounds, which affects decoding and reading new or unfamiliar words.") so I'm sure this font can help many but not all.
So to answer: yes, its a more readably font for most dyslexics. I don't know the magic on the back end but from first glance, capitalisation and lower cases is more apparent, 0 and o's are as well having a small dot inside the number 0, also 1's and l's and i's are all clearer. Line spacing and letter spacing are much clearer too.
I would imagine most fonts are made to meet two criteria: style, readability. Whereas open dyslexia has its sole focus on readability with very little focus on style.
Update:
I had asked HR if I would be working the 8 hours and said I was not used to this length of trial shift. Hr replied in loose language with what I would be doing, which further lead to me believing that I would be working anywhere between 2 to 4 hours.
I brought this up onsite to management nearing the 4 hour mark, showed him the email and he called HR to then confirm verbally that I would need to work the full 8 hours unpaid to get the job.
I pointed out how this was legally grey and left.
Other bits I did not like were:
through the online training session I did on their computer. Forced me to agree to fingerprint scanning which luckily I only sign an agreement and never actually had to scan my prints.
Also on the online training, they stipulate that any sign in issues would encure fees to the employee due to admin work, these fees would equate to an hours pay.
HR lead bor the same last name as the company.
The onsite manager made anti communist remarks.
Also when I said "nice to meet you John" his reply, "you won't be saying that later.
It would be good to be back in work asap, having a gap in employment been very detrimental for my employability. Getting far few interviews than before for lower level jobs.
So I need a gap filler. I have sent an email back to Hr asking for confirmation, my hope is that they are reasonable and legally savvy enough to give me an actual trail. I am however worried that with that confrontation they may choice to drop the offer.
But beyond that, their pension scheme, clocking in and even promotions (pay increases) seem to sign that they are a company that want to pay as little as possible.
I did a trial at my last job, took an hour where they had me soldering an old busted PCB and filling paperwork for employment, proof of address, banking details etc etc, which I was happy to do. And this current place that demands physical labour for the role, I'm slim built and assumed they'd see if I could lift and move stock, or use a till, communicate with customers, all this can be condensed down to an hour really and I would happily do that. Free labour though, the company smells rotten.
A lot of therapy is about acceptance, which our current society makes a boggy man from mental illness especially NPD and BPD which doesn't help the matter so in essence most therapy is self correcting with guidance.
But how ever we will frame it, in a classless society people with NPD, or a general lack of empathy will get the help they need.
What has he got to worry about, even if his stocks plunged to 0 he would still have a better retirement then the rest of us. Capitalism is a sickness even the capitalist are turned mentally ill by the system.
The one with the husband having doubts about his partners infidelity had me feeling sick, not something we need promoted in our media especially when his doubts turned true which could imbolden abusive partners.
The Boys. First season had raw charm with some cool punk tracks, then season two sterilised it and it seemed to become another day time TV show. Had a similar experience with Black Mirror once that got the American/Hollywood treatment. Always Sunny lost its charm when the gang went to Ireland. Aweful end to what was otherwise a good series. But I mostly dislike American TV.
