Dyslexic/Gifted Students

[GoodQuestion]

I am looking for families of students that are dyslexic, gifted, and/or twice exceptional to compare notes with around schools, tutors, etc. I’ve done a lot of research and am happy to share what I’ve learned. Still gathering as much information as possible and would love to learn more from anyone that has any insights, relationships, or contacts.

Is there a relationship between dyslexia and "giftedness"? I always thought that most dyslexic students were just average. My sister is dyslexic so I've read a bit about it.

Its not unusual for a person to be twice excpetional and that can be gifted with another condition like dyslexia, AD/HD, Dyspraxia, ect. Do you have children with this in Argentina?

Gifted wouldn't be the adjective I'd use for Dyslexia. It's a real disadvantage.
