    Here’s a recent piece from The New York Times: "The Upside of Dyslexia"

    The article mentions a Laboratory for Visual Learning at the
    Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. They are looking at how dyslexics view space data in a superior way (more gestalt, better at finding patterns, etc.) ... so cool and interesting!

    Nice to have positive news about the real strengths of dyslexia; the weaknesses can be so obvious:)

    I also greatly enjoyed The Eide's book The Dyslexic Advantage.

    Anyone else have positive resources they enjoyed?
