Jacob, yours is an interesting perspective. Thanks for adding it. I can understand the idea you present. I also wonder whether, had you overcome dyslexia when younger you might not have taken strength from that triumph and used the experience as a springboard to tackle problems.

It’s fascinating to speculate on the different sorts of spin that people put on experiences. From what I hear, some of the most fabulous athletes focus on little bits of experience–even an imagined slight–to goad themselves to new heights. (Not to say that this is what you’ve done, of course.) It’s sort of when-life-gives-you-lemons-make-lemonade approach.

I am a bit wary of some arguments of this sort. Probably most of us have heard the idea that blind people have natural musical ability. I don’t have the evidence at hand, but I think there is a pretty solid basis for dismissing this generalization. So, too, I’d be reluctant to generalize that all or even the majority of individuals with dyslexia have been able to find the benefit that you report.
