@zoesaldana is a hero and champion for dyslexia. To put herself out there, and expose something so personal, took a lot of guts. Thank you for that.
Dyslexia is a neurobiological disorder that affects phonological processing and word retrieval. I know that’s a mouthful but there is power in knowledge. While dyslexics struggle with reading, and word retrieval, the way their brain is wired, they actually have an advantage in creativity and thinking “outside the box.” At my daughter’s school, they refer to dyslexia as their “super power.” Not unlike @zoesaldana in The Avengers.
The problem is, the majority of cases are not diagnosed, the children do not get the proper treatment, and that super power is never realized. 20% of school aged children have dyslexia, but only 4% are diagnosed. That’s a LOT of untapped potential out there.
It’s possible many people reading this post are dyslexic and don’t realize it.
Notable dyslexics include:
Albert Einstein
Michael Faraday
Steven Spielberg
Loenoardo da Vinci
F. Scott Fitzgerald
George Washington
Nelson Rockefeller
King Carl XVI Gustaf
Imagine what the world would be like without their contributions.
