Here are some extracts from the book "The Gift of Dyslexia" that may give you more of an understanding of Dyslexia.

Dyslexics don't all develop the same gifts, but they do have certain mental functions in common.

Here are some of the basic abilities that all dyslexics share:

  1. They can utilise the brain's ability to alter and create perceptions (the primary ability).
  2. They are highly aware of the environment.
  3. They are more curious than average.
  4. They think mainly in pictures instead of words.
  5. They are highly intuitive and insightful.
  6. They think and perceive multi-dimensionally (using all senses).
  7. They can experience thought as reality.
  8. They have vivid imaginations.
