Dyslexia Doesn’t Mean You’re Unintelligent

I love this quote from Tim Tebow. It’s a good reminder. There are many brilliant dyslexics in the world.

Hi JoyGenea here, International Neurodiversity Coach.

So I recently posted this great quote from Tim Tebow.

“You could be extremely bright and still have dyslexia.

You just have to understand how you learn and how you process information when you know that you can overcome a lot of obstacles that come with dyslexia.”

He really said it well.

What I’ve noticed recently and in a lot of conversations with clients and potential clients is that so often they- nobody’s ever told them how really bright they are, how incredibly amazing it is that they have navigated systems and processes and figured out so many things that their dyslexia did not gift them with, but they have figured out a way around that and that shows a high amount of intelligence.

So do not equate dyslexia with a lack of intelligence. You probably are very bright and very intelligent and dyslexic.

Thank you. Have a great day.
