Is Dyslexia a Curse or Maybe a Gift?

Life can be a struggle.

People dismiss your opinions and ideas and expect you to know things you don’t.

Some things are hard and people accuse you of being stupid or lazy. Sometimes you just don’t get it the first time and they say you’re not paying attention.

Even if you’re reading, perhaps it’s hard work and not much fun. It may be hard to get your ideas written down or even to get people to listen to them. Some days this dyslexia really feels like a curse.

But would you really like to let go of that quirky way of seeing things? That special gift that lets you find quicker ways to doing things, solutions to problems, better answers?

Okay, so maybe you can’t find where you put that tool, but you can probably find create ways around doing without it.

Here’s the reality…

Dyslexia is not just a problem with reading and writing. It affects everything you do and everything you are. You likely often struggle with paperwork, mostly because of limited working memory. You know what you want to write but youspend too much time on spelling and writing. There are techniques that can be learned to address this.

You likely often find it difficult to follow procedures consistently and effectively, particularly when they seem pointless and badly designed. But it’s also likely that you are exceedingly good in finding better ways of achieving the objectives.

Perhaps you often feel that your innovative solutions are ignored, but communicating those ideas is a skill that can be learned.

Quite possibly your challenges are based in difficulties in taking in visual or auditory information. This can be addressed through a neurodevelopmental program. Sometimes the challenges are in processing that information. This, too, can best be dealt with best through a neurodevelopmental program.

Even those problems with left and right can be addressed.

For people with dyslexia, there are specific secrets to succeeding in education, at work… and in life

Overlearning is not the only option. It’s more efficient to understand how your brain works to engage deeper learning.
You learn best by starting with your existing web of knowledge and understanding, and connecting new information into that holistic web.
You may find that using mind maps gives you a fast track to making those deeper connections when you read new materials.
It is important to deal with the things that are getting in the way – the underlying sensory/organizational elements of your body and brain that interfere with taking in information and processing it.
