What is Dyslexia? Dyslexia influences as many as 1 in 5 people and is a genetic difference in an individual’s ability to learn and process information. As a result, dyslexic individuals have differing abilities, with strengths in creative, problem-solving and communication skills and challenges with spelling, reading and memorising facts. Dyslexia ranges from mild to severe. Around 40% of people with dyslexia also have ADHD. And those with dyslexia use about five times more energy to complete mental tasks. Generally, a dyslexic cognitive profile (mapping of the brain) will be uneven when compared to a neurotypical cognitive profile. This means that dyslexic individuals really do think differently. What causes Dyslexia? The science behind the structural differences seen in dyslexic brains is still not understood. Nevertheless there are some key characteristic differences shared by those with dyslexia. These can be both positive and negative. Diagnosis of dyslexia tends to focus on the challenges faced by an individual rather than the positive attributes.
