Adelle Tracey speaks to Nick Ransom for Neurodiversity Celebration Week about living with dyslexia and dyscalculia
This summer, runner Adelle Tracey will be on the world stage in Paris chasing her Olympic dreams. She has already reached big finals for Great Britain and Jamaica but for Neurodiversity Celebration Week, she wanted to reveal what it is like being an elite athlete with dyslexia and dyscalculia. Dyslexia is a specific learning difficulty which primarily affects reading and writing skills, according to the British Dyslexia Association.
'So there's a lot of numbers and I usually write out a schedule for every race day for what time I'm going to do everything, just to take that process of thinking away from what I'm trying to do. 'And it'll always be some random number - like racing at 1752. That's the other thing - working in 24 hours and trying to calculate how long it's going to take me to do everything. So I always allow for more time.
