The article explores the experience of living with dyslexia, focusing on the struggles of distinguishing left from right, which complicates learning in spatial concepts. The author reflects on personal challenges in school stemming from traditional methods of education that favor a different cognitive processing style. Despite these obstacles, dyslexia is also framed as a potential cognitive advantage, promoting creativity and innovative thinking. The author draws a parallel between human dyslexia and the cognitive functioning of multimodal large language models (MLLMs) that may exhibit similar challenges in processing directionality.
As someone with dyslexia, distinguishing between critical left-right directions in language, math, and even the layout of time can pose significant challenges, affecting daily life.
Despite the challenges of dyslexia, such as difficulties with reading and directionality, it can be a gift that encourages alternative thinking, creativity, and innovation in problem-solving.
