Realising The Dyslexic Advantage
In this video, multiple speakers reflect on the concept of dyslexia as an "advantage." One parent discusses how labelling dyslexia as a "superpower" can sometimes feel disingenuous, especially for children still struggling with their differences. They share how their son initially found being dyslexic challenging because it made him feel different. Over time, however, he’s embraced his unique thinking style, creativity, and strong empathy. Another speaker highlights how dyslexia has enhanced their child’s sports abilities and executive functioning skills, allowing them to thrive in ways others might not. The conversation emphasises embracing dyslexia as part of one’s identity and unique strengths.
