Just remember - like any group, dyslexics cannot be painted with a broad brush. While there are many examples of very gifted artists, actors, scientists with dyslexia, not all dyslexics excel in these areas. My son is super dyslexic - very very hard to remediate. No question he has dyslexia with a capital D. That said, he is very very verbal. While his visual spatial abilities (in some sense) are strong, he would not reconsidered right brain dominant.
He is as Overcoming Dyslexia describes - poor at the lower levels of language processing and gifted at the higher levels. He thinks in word and excels in the humanities.
