Dyslexia Is A Gift

from Between The Lines · host Corine La Font

Approximately 10% of the world’s population ‘suffer’ from the gift of dyslexia however most of society label dyslexia a learning disorder. By concentrating on “fixing” the problem, it can make it difficult for this 10% of the population the chance to express their natural-born talents and gifts. FMRI studies show a non-dyslexic person utilizes the brain’s left-hemisphere more. This is a gift in its own right: logical, sequential, and great for literary skills, such as writing, reading, and spelling. Dyslexic people, who tend to use the right hemisphere more, are often bright, highly intelligent, and articulate but are simply unable to read, write, or spell at the level expected of them. The written word has been with us for only a short time in our long human evolution, before the advent of writing there would have been no such thing as a “dyslexic person”.
