I appreciate the effort but it focuses only on the disadvantages of dyslexia. Their is good evidence that dyslexia an other learning-disabilities are a neurological tradeoff between short and long Cortical Minicolumns, where dyslexics have on average fewer and shorter column that are thicker, have less connection, but that reach farther. Sort of like the difference between GPU and CPU. Maybe we need a tool to showcase the advantage of interconnected reasoning and narrative skills instead of just focusing on the negative aspects.

- apex_sloth 6y agoI first found the book "The Dyslexic Advantage: Unlocking the Hidden Potential of the Dyslexic Brain", which in turn talks about the spacing between minicolumns in the brain. So looking for these terms yeilds some intressting stuff, for example this: https://dept.wofford.edu/neuroscience/neuroseminar/pdfspring2010/autism&deslexia-minicolumn.pdf https://dept.wofford.edu/neuroscience/neuroseminar/pdfspring... https://corticalchauvinism.com/2016/12/12/dyslexia-and-autism-cognitive-profiles-at-the-tail-ends-of-the-same-spectrum/ https://corticalchauvinism.com/2016/12/12/dyslexia-and-autis...
- wrnr 6y agoYes, The Dyslexic Advantage is a good start, it's where I first encountered the science.
- apex_sloth 6y agoI started it and are actually surprise how much it fits to my own experience to this day. Can you recommend further reading? Thank you bring this to my attention!
