Just for the sake of continuing the healthy discussion on a ‘condition’ that some important people in history were gifted with- dyslexia. Reading words is not an innate ability; and so, the brain must make internal adjustments in order to learn the process of reading before any benefit from reading can be obtained. Additionally, according to mainstream scientific studies and fossil records, homo-sapiens (modern human) have walked the Earth for 300,000yrs, yet reading has been in existence for only 5,000 of those. My question is this- if the brain, during its most vulnerable learning years, is forced to change a developmental progression that firmly established itself over a 295,000yr span- what potential skills are humans not cultivating or have lost entirely, due to the onset of written words, the printing press, the education system, and the industrial revolution?
Dyslexia is not a disability. It is a label that categorizes a certain group of people that exhibit a condition resulting from engaging in a task that is relatively new and unnatural to the natural progression of the developing human brain.
A mind full of words and the enlightened mind are never the same thing. Rise above the constant hum of the established norm. …Exercise the other half of the brain, as well.
