“Maybe when dyslexics confront the word ‘cat’ they instantly get a bigger network of meaning. They see, feel and smell cats. In school, this rich associative network encounters only exercises designed to shove the other senses back in the box. But it’s the detours that contribute to the rich landscape of creativity and dot-connecting that so often mark the entrepreneur, the innovator, and the creative.”

Ahhh…so the rest of them are finally catching on!

As a lefty turned righty, misspelling, mirror writing, number reversing, directionally challenged (W, E? , Right,left? b,d?whatever..), yet awesome test taker who is often bored in class, I could have told you this without a fancy magnet or 15 years of an over-priced higher education degree. By the way, I was never diagnosed and I can read well. But hey, at least the docs finally got around to realizing that they just can’t throw us all in the same category.
