How Dyslexia Became My Superpower: Growing Up With A Learning Difference

By David Gobris

As a dyslexic child growing up in a rural town with limited understanding of the learning difference, I struggled with reading and was held back in first grade. Despite passing the second time around, my reading skills remained stagnant, and I was labeled a slow reader. What stuck with me is that I was just "slow". This launched my true struggle with feelings of inadequacy, leading to low self-esteem that became my secret obsession. Years later, when my son was diagnosed with dyslexia, it was like a light was turned on in my own brain. As I helped him navigate through his learning difference, I also discovered the cognitive talents that dyslexia had given me. With newfound forgiveness for my poor reading skills, I embraced my creativity and analytical thinking, leading me to success in life. But my journey was not without its challenges. In " How Dyslexia Became My Superpower ," I share my personal story of growing up with a learning difference and how it shaped me into the person I am today. With the hope of helping children and their parents understand the struggles and benefits of dyslexia, this book is a must-read for any family that is facing their own battle with learning differences. Fans of children's books that address learning differences will also enjoy this personal and insightful journey of embracing dyslexia.
