Being dyslexic doesn't mean we are all genius, but it is important to know that having a problem with reading, writing, spelling, or math doesn't mean we are dumb or stupid.
Being dyslexic is a gift in the truest sense of the word: a natural ability, a talent. It is that something special that enhances each dyslexic as an individual.
All dyslexics doesn't develop the same talents, buy we do have certain talents in common. These talents are:
○ We can use our brain’s ability to alter and create perceptions.
○ We are highly aware of the environment.
○ We are more curious than average.
○ We think mainly in pictures instead of words.
○ We are highly intuitive and insightful.
○ We think and perceive by using all our senses.
○ We can experience thought as reality.
○ We have very vivid imaginations.
