So it's not a surprise, all the literature and all the research that I've been doing and talking to people involved in research, that there's this huge budding field of the strengths on the other side of spontaneity.
These difficulties with specific school related tasks and a framework that I love to use when discussing these issues is I love using Dr. Brock and Fernette ID's framework of the mind strengths.
And I did a tremendous amount of research talking to the specific individuals involved in a lot of the studies with the strengths that come with dyslexia.
And having done a lot of my own research, I always come back to the fact that Dr. Brock and Fernette Eide, the authors of The Dyslexic Advantage, did an amazing job really synthesizing everything.
And so the way that they talk about the mind strengths, and I can share them super quickly.
is M-I-N-D is an acronym for M is material reasoning.
And it has to do with three-dimensional spatial, visual spatial reasoning.
So it's the ability to see something and rotate the shape in your mind.
So to see a Lego piece and imagine how to use that piece in a bunch of different contexts.
It's to be able to see a couch in a store and imagine what it would look like in a room from many different perspectives.
And that's the same strength that some dyslexic kids, although not all of them, they'll do letter reversals past what's developmentally appropriate.
And it comes from that super flexible way of thinking that, you know, if I can imagine a couch in many different positions, I can imagine a Lego piece in many different positions.
It's hard to keep my B's and my D's and my Q's and my P's in one position because it's that flexibility of being able to rotate shapes and images in a three-dimensional way.
way.
And that's why you see very high levels of dyslexia in the design profession.
So in interior design and graphic design and video design, those fields are pretty inundated with dyslexics.
And the Royal College of Art, actually, they did a survey of everybody in their art school, and they found that one in four students were dyslexic, which is a huge over-representation than in the population, where in the population, you're talking more about 16 to 20%.
of the population having some kind of learning disability, and they say dyslexia is the most common one.
So that's the first one.
The second one, I'll just go through these really quickly, is interconnected reasoning.
