I am particularly interested in hearing from Dyslexic people who are in the Creative and Performing arts, in whatever capacity.
My understanding is that the Creative and Performing Arts contain a higher proportion of Dyslexic people because of their ability to visualise and innovate in a non-literal form.
The other possibility is that the Creative and Performing Arts acts as a sanctuary and natural safe harbour for like-minded people, where literacy is less relevant.
I have short list of Questions that may help you tell your story and describe how you feel about You, Dyslexia and the Arts.
