"The Upside of Dyslexia"

Over at The New York Times author Annie Murphy Paul has given us "The Upside of Dyslexia".

The point is that while there are problems with being dyslexic, there are also some benefits, such as better peripheral vision and a better ability to grasp the whole scene in a glance.  Maybe people with dyslexia make better fighter pilots.

On the other hand, having to have your own tutor to learn how to read has its own drawbacks; and a big thank you to Ms Hester Waldo, wherever you are.
