Dyslexia influences at least 1 in 10 people, apparently. Given how dramatically it can affect a child's education and hence career prospects, that is a huge number of people. 

EY's excellent piece looks at the advantages that dyslexia can convey in the modern workplace; it is very well researched and builds a compelling case for hiring and working with dyslexics as part of a modern, diverse work environment. 

Why, though, is a Big Four advisory opining about Special Educational Needs? 

Perhaps one of three reasons: 

• This piece demonstrates that they, like "dyslexic individuals really do think differently". 
• It also shows dyslexics (who as their survey shows are often very successful) that EY is not just another "one of them" but perhaps, surprisingly, "one of us".  
• Lastly, this approach shows EY walking-the-walk in diversity. Organisations that deal with change, need to have many differing views and approaches in order to solve new challenges in novel and innovative ways. 

As a person who knows many dyslexics, I found my view of EY changed by this excellent piece of thought leadership in a profoundly positive way. 

I take my hat off.
