We at Decoding Dyslexia CA take great offense to the wording and description about why someone with dyslexia  cannot be the president of the United States. Let's make one thing clear, this is not a rebuttal in support of any particular politician. 2/11

It is because people with dyslexia, particularly when areas of weakness have become well remediated and they've learned multiple ways to compensate for their weaknesses, have tremendous strengths that provide incomparable value to not only in CA or the US, but to the entire🌎6/11

This is a statement about the abhorrent discriminatory language used in @LATimesSkelton article that characterizes a person with dyslexia as being incompetent of handling any public speaking. 3/11

Mr. Skelton, although you do acknowledge that previous presidents have been dyslexic and you make a reference to Einstein, another famous person with dyslexia, the tone of your article insinuates that maybe the word “genius”. . . 7/11

In fact, when we assess people for dyslexia (and other specific learning disabilities), we look at both overall cognitive skills separately from a person’s specific academic achievement skills. 9/11
