It is the result of a natural talent, the ability to see or perceive multi-dimensionally all at once, from any one place at a time. In the truest sense of the word, dyslexia is a perceptual talent. It is truly a wonderful gift when really understood
Why is dyslexia a gift?
Dyslexic people are visual, multi-dimensional thinkers. They are intuitive and highly creative and excel at hands-on learning. Because they think in pictures, it is sometimes hard for them to understand letters, numbers, symbols and written words.
Dyslexics can utilize the brain's ability to alter and create perceptions. They are highly aware of the environment. They have the gift of curiosity about how things work. They have
strong visualization; they think mainly in pictures. They are often highly inventive, quick-thinking, creative, imaginative, innovative, intuitive and insightful. They think and perceive multi-dimensionally, using all senses. They can experience thought as reality. They have vivid imaginations
