[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for that nice personal example of your strengths. I need to re-read that book. You've inspired me to show my 8yo dyslexic/add child some of the cool data visualization work that is happening and talk about data science as a career path. She is always asking what she can be when she grows up and is increasingly tired of my "anything you want to be" answer. [/quote] Did you know that while people with dyslexia make up 10-15% of the population, 35% of entrepreneurs have dyslexia? Proust and the Squid is also a good book for explaining the positive attributes of brain differences correlated with dyslexia. I also mentioned The Dyslexia Empowerment Plan by Ben Foss on another thread. A lot of that book is Ben's personal story and is good read. The audio book version is narrated by Ben himself and includes segment on how he did that which I found pretty impressive. [/quote]
