Unpacking Dyslexia: Misconceptions and It’s Superpowers - Whiskey Tangro Oxfot
In this enlightening episode, we delve into the world of dyslexia with the help of our guest, Angela Moriera. Together with Nathaniel, Jason, and Donald, Angela helps us unpack the many misconceptions surrounding dyslexia by starting with the fundamental question: "What isn't dyslexia?" By debunking common myths and misunderstandings, we aim to provide a clearer picture of what it means to be dyslexic.
The conversation then shifts to the unique strengths and "superpowers" that often accompany dyslexic thinking. Angela shares her personal experiences and insights, highlighting how thinking differently can be a significant advantage in various areas of life. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to better understand dyslexia and appreciate the diverse ways in which people process information and solve problems.
