Glib talk about appreciating dyslexia as a “gift” is unhelpful at best and patronizing at worst.

There are, however, vision therapists who can provide special glasses that actually have very carefully crafted prisms instead of normal lenses, basically spreading the peripheral part large and minimizing the center, and they can completely change the way certain individuals are able to see the world. Like, kids with severe dyslexia put on a pair designed for their unique visual field, and they can instantly read. It's cool stuff.
