What is dyslexia?
Dyslexia is a brilliant and different way of thinking.
Dyslexic brains process information differently. This results in a pattern of strengths, such as problem-solving, creative thinking, and seeing the big picture. Plus, challenges like spelling, reading, writing and rote learning.
Dyslexics have created some of the greatest inventions of all time, from the light bulb to the motor car, the iPhone to the aeroplane.
Research shows that Dyslexic thinking skills are the highest in demand in any workplace. This is why LinkedIn officially recognised it as a skill in 2022 and why it was added as a noun in the dictionary.

[ dis-lek-sik thing-king ]
