I like the way you explain dyslexia.
I’ve had it all my life, I can read in mirror image as easily as normal reading. I also have degrees in 4 different engineering fields. It’s not a problem for me. It’s a problem for those who don’t understand and want to put labels and victim status on everything. I’d bet that Da Vinci was dyslexic. He wrote his notes in mirror image as a code, and he certainly was no dummy.
Both of us being engineers - I have to correct your use of the word “explain”. I’m simply offering my analysis of the issue, which is formed solely from my own learning and experience, and shouldn’t be confused with scientific fact.
It’s just my viewpoint.
But I’m glad you can accept it as a useful analysis. Take care!

Same here. My family is rife with this type of neurological wiring, and visual strengths seem to exist at the expense of linguistic ones. Math/engineering are where our strengths lie. Two of my kids are also diagnosed with Auditory Processing Disorder, a common underlying condition of dyslexia (identified and measured via responses to machine stimuli) but they’ve learned to adapt and succeed despite this. Another taught himself to read and write entirely backward before he learned how to do it forward (reminiscent of da Vinci’s notebooks).
There’s no doubt it’s not exactly typical, but I certainly don’t view it as a weakness.
