Dyslexia

The Gift of Dyslexia by: Ronald D. Davis.

Interesting title, isn't it? Dyslexia as being a gift. The learning disability that causes many frustrations in reading, spelling and math due to the inability to "break the code," or perceive it differently. How can it be a gift? That is the exact question I thought of as I began reading the book.

It is funny, how a book can change you. That is one of the many reasons that I love to read, the fact that I can change my views and perspective. Wow, dyslexia can be thought of a blessing. It is their inordinate ability to perceive the world, they have an intuition that is incredible, and instead of looking at the details, they can see the whole. Amazing, they can perceive the world through their sense, with an incredible visual intelligence.

This book changed my melancholy mood about this reading disorder, to one of awe; the difference in how information is processed. It goes to show, it is in the high of the beholder whether the glass is half full, or half empty.
