I'm #dyslexic. I was diagnosed 30 or more years ago. So I say with respect, stop calling #Dyslexia a super power. It belittles & glamourises a condition that is to many crippling & leads to terrible anxiety & self esteem issues. I struggle to read, I struggle to understand
What I've read. I struggle to process information & convert it to long term memory. I struggle with the lesser known fun that is false memories because of this processing deficit. To maintain an average academic ability, my brain had to work twice as hard as others.
Sure, I have a slightly different way of interpreting the world around me, this new #DyslexicThinking that LinkedIn is promoting. But it comes at significant cost. Now, it is going to be desirable to say you're dyslexic, when in reality you probably are not.

I've known I have #ADHD for 4 years. I've known I'm #dyslexic & Autistic for 2 months. This semester, I've spent enormous time/energy understanding what this means for me. I am relieved & unbelievably excited; I've found an incredible #ActuallyAutistic community through Twitter;
& for the FIRST time in my life (let that sink in) I'm seeing other people talk about experiences that mirror my own. I understand myself in a way that I have tried to find words for my entire life. (TY @SNeurotypicals @steve_asbell @autistictic @A_Silent_Child) #ActuallyAutistic
I'm also navigating grief. I now see the ways I'm called to & do invalidate, erase, & hurt myself in the "necessary" betrayal of my needs to exist in a neurotypical, "appropriate" way. Camouflaging causes negative health outcomes & creates #healthdisparities #NMHM2020 #Autistic

After reading this, your thinking on the brain will not be the same. The thoughts are mine. The words from @nickwarren #tweetstorm cc @subsetharry @kimadele10 @argent_phil @iPerrySimpson @ai_rajsharma @DaveHillman2 @Samlindley9 @CaroleAnnRice @scottkeyser @NikiCassidy @pennypower
#1 - They diagnosed me with #dyslexia when I was 43, but by then it didnāt matter.
#2 - I already knew my brain was different.
"I have #dyslexia. Iām not good at # reading or writing. The teachers couldnāt understand my problem, and I was expected to keep up with the rest of the class. Other students would laugh at me..." 1/4

"..And I just couldnāt do it. Now I feel lost. I keep to myself. I have nothing to do and Iām just sitting on my talent. I have a mechanical mind. I can understand any machine.. " 2/4 bit.ly/2UlPSGh by @humansofny
"...But no engineering program will consider you unless youāre good with books. And there are no facilities for #dyslexia in our country". 3/4 bit.ly/2UlPSGh by @humansofny
