I finally experienced one of those “dyslexic superpowers” my middle school tutor always claimed existed
I hate when people try to spin a disability into being a secret superpower, especially people who don’t have said disability. It always comes across as a way to dismiss the real struggles it causes or force some toxic level of denial/optimism. But today! Today I realized a benefit of dyslexia!
While everyone else complains about the dreaded NYT Connections “X but missing a letter” or “Y with an added letter” categories, how they’re so impossible, I am unbothered. I get the correct answer by simply misreading all the words and submitting them expecting the category to just be “X” or “Y”. This has no real world benefit other than feeling a childish sense of pride at beating my husband’s time by 43 seconds, but I will take me wins where I can get them
