Dyslexia people typically have advantages in un-ordinary talents/brain wirings so being dyslexic could be a tip-off that you should investigate these talents i.e. "the dyslexic advantage". (While we're at it, same is true of ADD)
Great video on this page produced by authors of the book "The Dyslexic Advantage"

The Unappreciated Benefits of Dyslexia

"It’s a huge mistake to regard a dyslexic child as if his or her brain is trying to follow the same pathway of development as all the other kids but is simply doing a bad job of it. In reality, the brains of kids with dyslexic processing styles are actually developing in a very different way. They establish a different pattern of connections and circuitry, creating a different kind of problem-solving apparatus."
btw - Dyslexic Heart is a great song from the early 90s - kicked off the movie Singles
