Why is dyslexia a
gift?
Dyslexic people are
visual, multi-dimensional thinkers,
typically with average or above average intelligence. We are intuitive and
highly creative, and excel at hands-on learning.
Because
we think in pictures and often transpose or
"jumble" written images, it is difficult to
quickly and efficiently transfer our thoughts onto paper
or through a keyboard.
Officially, dyslexia is
a problem that is neurological in origin. Nonetheless,
we learn to read,
write and study efficiently using methods geared
to our unique learning style.
