Dyslexia is such a contradiction of symptoms… I can spell well but maths is a nightmare for me. I know other dyslexics who really struggle with spelling but are great at Maths. One of the contradictions of Dyslexia is we can have incredibly good common sense, or street smarts, or we are superb at reading people. The flip side is we can be incredibly naive and just not see the obvious pitfalls or problems that others do. Realising why I did this has really helped me embrace my naivety and see it as a good thing!
