Marilù Gorno Tempini
Neurodiversity and dyslexia
In the past, human intelligence was described as a symmetrical constellation of so-called higher cognitive faculties, such as language, attention or calculus. Today we speak of “asymmetrical” intelligence when the functions of a specific cerebral network appear to be strained, while others fall within the norm or above it. This is the case for dyslexia, which is characterized by a selective difficulty in processing the written language. These ailments are often the result of “neurodiversity”, that is, a simple variation in the efficiency of different neural networks which is exhibited through asymmetrical intelligence; such neurodiversity, often associated with abilities that are suitable for a technologically-developed world, should be given more value within the school, work and social systems.
