Share your story with us

A collection of first-person pieces, for/by shares the voices of people living with differences like dyslexia and ADHD. Our mission is to reduce stigma, debunk myths, and build awareness.

These honest and powerful stories are written for people who want to learn more about differences. And they’re by people who experience them.

At for/by, we’re building understanding — not just of differences but of people. And we want you to join us as we counter misconceptions about learning differences.

If you’re interested in sharing your story with us, please reach out to Tara Drinks, tdrinks@understood.org. (Yes, we’re paying writers for accepted submissions.)

We’re currently looking for:

· Firsthand experiences from people with a learning and thinking difference (ADHD, dyslexia, etc.) as well as people whose lives are touched by these differences

· Reflections of what people wish their peers knew about their learning challenges or behaviors

· Similar topics you think would be a good fit on for/by

Together, let’s amplify voices and shape this world for difference.
