““As we’ll describe throughout this book, dyslexic processing also predisposes individuals to important abilities in many mental functions, including: • three-dimensional spatial reasoning and mechanical ability • the ability to perceive relationships like analogies, metaphors, paradoxes, similarities, differences, implications, gaps, and imbalances • the ability to remember important personal experiences””
