We need to value and embrace our dyslexia and be dyslexia positive

Hi blog readers hope you are all well and ready for a restful weekend.

Like everyone else we dyslexics have strengths and weaknesses things we are good and things we are not. That's what we say neuro diversity, which includes dyslexia, is as crucial as biodiversity.

The world would be a poorer place if it were not for dyslexic creativity people, entrepreneurs, engineers, writers, scientists and performers etc.

Here is a list of dyslexic strengths:

Highly aware of the environment

Highly curious

Great intuition and insightful

Thinking and perceiving multi-dimensionally (using all the senses)

A lively imagination

Can experience thought as reality

Creativity 

Holistic, see the big picture, don’t get lost in details, get to the important aspects

See patterns, connections, and similarities very easy 

Can be very driven, ambitious and determined

Superior reasoning

Capable of seeing things differently than others

Love for complexity

Simultaneous multiple thought processing

Not following the crowd

The ability of visual, spatial and lateral thinking

I know school can be a real pain for many dyslexic kids. I know because I was a dyslexic kid myself. But we can succeed because of our dyslexia and the positive strengths it give us. 

That's why we say #uniquedyslexic #vivaladifference
