Subject: Dyslexic who thinks in sound, not visually

I am the mother of a 22 yr old dyslexic who has started a degree this year, in his lifelong passion of music technology. This is brilliant when it comes to the practical stuff. One struggle however, unsurprisingly,is doing essays. Most suggestions for help are based around using visual things, like mind maps, which don't work for him. He describes that he thinks mostly in sound and I was wondering if there is anyone who is also like this or who knows any places we could find information that would be helpful around study skills and in particular essay writing for a dyslexic whose dominant sense is sound not vision. He has voice recognition software already, and it's useful, but he finds it hard to create an essay plan and then translate that into an essay even when he knows what he wants to say. He describes he is looking for a different kind of 'format', like a mind map, that can help him plan the content and order in a way that helps rather than hinders turning what he has in his head into an essay.
