It’s only been a week since I launched this website, and I’m still catching my breath.
But something unexpected and deeply moving has begun to unfold.
Since launching My Dyslexic Husband on April 25, 2025 something quietly remarkable has happened:
The site has reached readers in over 15 countries. Germany alone accounts for more than 60% of visits, with Canada, the U.S., and Iran close behind. Others have found their way here from France, the Netherlands, Russia, the U.K., and even places like Latvia, South Korea, and Israel.
Each visit is more than a number—it’s a sign that this story is resonating across cultures, across silence, across oceans. People are finding fragments of themselves here, in these words, in this story that was once just mine.
Let’s keep going. Let’s keep sharing.
Why This Story Travels
When I built this site, I imagined a few close readers. I didn’t expect it to resonate in Germany, Iran, or Azerbaijan. And yet… here you are. That alone feels like a kind of miracle.
So why is this story traveling? Why now?
Germany: A Culture in Transition
Germany, like much of Europe, is in the midst of a cultural and policy shift—especially when it comes to neurodiversity. Key changes include:
- Inclusive education laws aligned with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
- Broader insurance coverage for ADHD, autism, and dyslexia evaluations and support
- A growing parent and academic community vocal about change
Culturally, Germany has often leaned toward stoicism and privacy—especially around emotional needs. That makes stories like mine (and maybe yours) harder to speak aloud. So when one is spoken, it can feel like a breath of fresh air.
Other Cultures That Are Listening
I’ve also seen readers arrive from countries with their own complicated relationships to emotion, difference, and relational struggle.
- Iran, with its deep intellectual history and complex sociopolitical context, is a place where many must carry their inner lives quietly.
- France is elegant, expressive, and brilliant—but emotional vulnerability often remains cloaked in formality or intellect.
- The U.S. is loud on awareness, but quiet on relational accountability.
- Canada has made policy strides, yet many couples still lack tools for navigating emotional nuance.
- South Korea, Japan, and parts of Eastern Europe are cultures where high achievement and social harmony are often prioritized over internal complexity.
Across all of them, there’s one thing in common: a growing hunger for honesty, empathy, and stories that name what’s been hard to say.
This Is Bigger Than Just One Story
Neurodiverse relationships are not bound by borders.
Neither is the longing to be understood, to be held, or to feel seen.
Whether you arrived here through a friend, a therapist, a post in a parenting forum, or just quiet curiosity—I’m so glad you did. If this story speaks to you, share it. Pass it to someone navigating a similar road. You never know who might need it.
Let’s keep this conversation moving.
Let’s keep building a world where emotional safety and neurodiverse love are not the exception—but the understanding.
Thank you, wherever you’re reading from.
If you’ve found something here that resonated—a sentence, a story, a breath of relief—I invite you to pass it on. Not for me. But for the next person who’s wondering if it’s just them.
Note: This reflection also lives in our “Behind the Memoir” section—where we share the impact, surprises, and conversations unfolding after publication.
