Not sure I agree I am dyslexic and I simply do not have all the inate skills that non disabled peopel have eg I have to work hard to spell of "of" and not "ov"

But on the gripping hand I had a reading age of 18 or so at 10 - Average for population is 13 :-)

Don't people with dyslexia have other inane skills, such as better spatial perception?

Suposed to be one of the diagnostic indicators but its not 100% garented.

I think it helps with visualising some tasks eg set thoery and SQL
