 Here's a radical thought: What if dyslexia isn't broken? What if the world is? When 20% of the population has dyslexia, when you add specific learning disabilities, ADHD, autism, and other neurodivergent conditions and the number reaches nearly 30% of humanity—almost one in three people—we need to ask ourselves a fundamental question: At what point does "different" stop being a disability and start being simply... human diversity? The Numbers That Should Change Everything Let's sit with these statistics for a moment: 15-20% have dyslexia 5-10% have ADHD 1-2% have autism 5-15% have other specific learning differences Add anxiety, sensory processing differences, and other neurodivergent traits, and we're approaching 30% of the global population That's not a fringe group.

Understanding why these behaviours occur and how to support children appropriately is essential for parents, caregivers, and educators.  Why These Behaviours Occur   Sensory Seeking and Self-Regulation: Children with autism often experience sensory processing differences. Touching or repetitive movements may provide calming sensory input that helps them regulate their nervous system, especially during times of stress, overstimulation, or transition.  Lack of Awareness About Social Norms. Many children with autism benefit from explicit teaching about social expectations, including privacy and appropriate public versus private behaviours. What may seem obvious to neurotypical children often needs to be directly taught.  Physical Discomfort or Medical Issues Sometimes these behaviours indicate g...
