For my readers:
Unlike popular impression, Dyslexia is common and affects 5-12% of school age children, and only 1 in 20 people with dyslexia are identified. Many dyslexic children suffered in school and as a side effect have low self-esteem, anxiety, aggression, withdraw from socializing because they were treated wrongly as a child. Growing up in a place where school is competitive, I witnessed several friends and relatives struggled from dyslexia and lost their confidences as they are being called "lazy", "stupid" when going through school. The purpose of this webpage is to help people understand dyslexia better, to understand the super power of dyslexics better, to think about dyslexia differently and to help dyslexics gain confidence and realize their potential!
