The Dyslexia Week

Albert Einstein(1879－1955), Walt Disney (1901－1966), and Pablo Picasso(1881－1973) have something in common. They were all extremely clever, brilliant and creative－but they all had dyslexia(诵读困难). Today, around six million people in the UK have some degree of dyslexia. Yet many people don't understand the condition or even realize they have it.

Dyslexia Awareness Week(DAW) aims to change that. Starting on 3 October, dyslexia charities across the country will be encouraging (鼓励) conversations about it, giving people advice and support.

What is dyslexia?

Dyslexia is not an illness or a disease. It is a condition that affects(影响) the way a person learns. It doesn't mean that a person isn't clever. It just means that their brain works a little differently. Just like people have different skin, hair and eye colours, the way our brains see the world and process information can be different too. This is called neurodiversity.

How does dyslexia affect people?

Dyslexia affects people differently. Each person has a unique experience. Some people may have problems with reading, writing and spelling. For example, a person with dyslexia might write the word “pest” as “pets” because their brain confuses(混淆) the order of letters. They might find it difficult to match letters to sounds or to remember how to spell words.

How might the condition affect daily life?

Dyslexia isn't just about reading, spelling and writing. It can affect concentration (专注力), coordination(协调性) and memory, which can make everyday life tricky. Dyslexic people might find it hard to copy down lots of notes from a board or to organize written work. They may find it tough to follow lots of instructions or rules when playing a game. However, dyslexia can be found by special tests. This is the first important step for people to get the help and support they might need.

What are the positives of having dyslexia?

People diagnosed (诊断) with dyslexia might worry how others see them, but thinking differently can be a superpower. Many people with dyslexia often have strong logical(逻辑的) skills and great imaginative ideas. They can be good at noticing patterns and solving problems. They can be super creative too. There are many authors, actors and inventors from every corner of the world who are successful with the condition. Dyslexia is nothing to be afraid or ashamed of. It's part of you.
