With the Christmas season upon us, I thought I would share some words of wisdom and encouragement, throughout the next few weeks, from people who live with dyslexia and have succeed because of dyslexia.
So, on the first day of Christmas, Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson book series.
“Dyslexic kids are creative, ‘outside-the-box’ thinkers. They have to be, because they don’t see or solve problems the same way other kids do. In school, unfortunately, they are sometimes written off as lazy, unmotivated, rude or even stupid. They aren’t. Making Percy dyslexic was my way of honoring the potential of all the kids I’ve known who have those conditions. It’s not a bad thing to be different. Sometimes, it’s the mark of being very, very talented.”
