"My problem with words is something I have never written down or spoken out about".
The writer, Stella Tillyard, talks about her "battle" with dyslexia - from her childhood to now.
She vividly describes the "gremlin that takes me by the hand, pulls my confidence away, and makes my heart beat too fast when I have - as now - to read aloud".
Producer: Adele Armstrong.
