Well, I also questioned the statement about dyslexic people being intelligent.

rkz, do you have any reference for your statement at all because if so I'd love to see it. I'm seriously doubtful that there could be such a thing although I have no doubt that some people with dyslexia are very intelligent and can achieve great things if and when their problem is identified. In fact, there is one member of my family who has dyslexia and he was a brilliant honours student and now helps design weapons to kill people with. There are other members of the family who have similar problems and they're definitely not einstines in any way even though they're definitely not as thick as swine stool either.

I just don't believe your statement due to my own personal experience and also academic research.
