Dyslexia affects around 10% of people. We may think it is about reading, writing and spelling, however, it can affect other skills as well. People with dyslexia often have difficulty with sequencing and prioritising, and may find following verbal instructions confusing. They can at times appear chaotic or disorganised. They are often better at practical things than writing and can have creative and unusual ideas.

Nowadays many people think of dyslexia as a learning difference not a difficulty. This means that the dyslexic brain simply works differently. This can make literacy-based tasks hard, but tasks involving creativity and 3-D skills may feel easier.
