Since dyslexia affects such a wide diversity of the world's population, and is so heavily influenced by our genes, it stands to reason evolution favored it in some way.. Our general reliance on effective literacy skills is even more recent, meaning the detrimental influences dyslexia has on individual cognition would have been negligible until recent generations.
Over the decades, psychologists have noted those who present signs of having dyslexia also tend to be better at global abstract and spatial reasoning. They also tend to be more inventive, and are better at predicting outcomes.This could be a coping strategy in a world that values abilities to pull information from walls of text. Though Taylor and Vestergaard don't think this is the case.
