While we tend to view dyslexia as a debilitating disorder, an alternate view is that it's just part of a different type of brain we can and should accomodate. Neurodiversity is the idea that, because all our brains show differences in structure and function, we should be more open to accepting people with different brains. This video provides insight into what it's like to have dyslexia, and how the idea of neurodiversity plays a role.
A common misconception about people with dyslexia is that they see backwards; in reality, they see images like everyone else, but have difficulty navigating language (or have other processing differences that get grouped under the term). Students typically have to be accommodated in the classroom, but there are ways to treat the disorder. In fact, dyslexics can actually change their brain patterns with an intensive multi-sensory intervention, which breaks the language down and teaches the reader to decode based on syllable types and spelling rules.
