"Curiosity and Willingness"
I find it very weird and possibly even offensive that somebody is trying to 'claim' that people with dyslexia are more curious or willing to explore than 'typical' people.
I think it might mean that they look at themselves and consider their strong points (which I applaud and support), but phrased like this it reads to me like they want to claim that dyslexic people are, on average, more curious and willing to explore than typical people, and that, to me appears plain wrong and even egoistic (hence the offensive) to claim.
The author tries to come up with a reasoning for this conclusion to be true, but fails to provide a set of arguments that amount to the conclusion, let alone are supported by fact.
People should stop thinking that just because they have weakness (dyslexia) that they don't have strong points, But the reverse is also true, just because you have strong points, you're strong points aren't more special just because you have certain weaknesses. Life is not a D&D character builder where you can spend X points and having a dump stat means you excel at something else.
