“
“I think one of the things that we learn about [dyslexia] is that it is a condition, like having blue eyes. I mean, it’s the way my brain functions. I think it’s an advantage, not a disadvantage because it allows me to use abstract thought in a way that most people can’t. I believe that the stories that I tell and the imagination that I live with everyday is the gift that this condition gives to me.”
