Robbie Williams has heartbreakingly shared how his daughter was left 'devastated' after being 'dumped' by a friend after receiving a diagnosis. The singer has revealed that his eldest daughter, Teddy, has been diagnosed with dyslexia.
In a new interview, Robbie has shared how he and wife Ayda Field had to explain to 10-year-old Teddy what her diagnsos was. Dyslexia is a learning difficulty that primarily affects the skills involved in accurate and fluent word reading and spelling. Characteristic features of dyslexia are difficulties in phonological awareness, verbal memory and verbal processing speed, according to the British Dyslexia Association.
"My older daughter suffers from dyslexia, just like me. When I was growing up in Stoke-on-Trent in the Eighties, however, dyslexia was still a completely unknown diagnosis," Robbie told Galore magazine.
