ABSTRACT
This chapter argues that dyslexics suffer both testimonial and hermeneutical injustice, not simply because they do not have access to accommodations and recognition but also because those of us with dyslexia are expected to translate our experiences and knowledges, often literally, into formats and means that we are unable to understand ourselves. This, in turn, means that we are often unable to develop a relationship with our own experiences because we are only practiced in translating them to others. This results in what one may call, “epistemic loneliness,” or a sense of isolation from not just those around us but also from our own experiences.
