The article focuses on debunking myths and misunderstandings of childhood dyslexia by identifying 4 common beliefs about the disorder, and then discussing how modern neuroscience has been able to disprove these beliefs. Dyslexia as a “phase” of childhood has been debunked by neuroscientific studies on adults who suffer from the disorder. The second myth is that it is a euphemism for “lazy/stupid”, which is not true due to the structural differences of the brain. The third and fourth (different way of thinking/visual only) are debunked by studying phonological processing and subjective traits.
