In some places and in some industries  the days when dyslexia, learning diiferences and other school based disabilities are seen as debilitating and in need of only rememdiation are gone.

Today, particularly in tech and some governmental agencies, "dyslexic thinking" is seen as an asset and not as a disability or a liability.

Dyslexic thinking can be defined as (Dictionary.com) "an approach to problem-solving, assessing information and learning often used by people with dyslexia that involves pattern recognition, spatial reasoning, lateral thinking and interpersonal communications".

The term dyslexic thinking can be thought of as an umbrella idea that encompasses terms such as twice exceptional or 2e, or neurodivergent.  

Reserach and practical experience are recongnizing that not only is dyslexic thinking not a "handicap", it can be a gift that is and will continue to be highly prized by business, industry and the public sector.

A study that is used as the basis for this episode has found that the skills and talents of dyslexic thinkers are the most valuable of any group to benefit from the rise of AI.
