‘Dyslexia is my superpower’
Zoologist and Springwatch presenter Megan McCubbin says if she could choose, she’d ‘absolutely’ have dyslexia again.
Speaking to 5 Live’s Hayley Hassall, Megan said realising she learned differently as a child was ‘traumatic’ as she “overheard a teacher, this was maybe third grade, saying they had to put me on the stupid table.”
Despite that, and after support from other teachers, Megan now believes that “difference in neurology should be celebrated because difference in neurology becomes difference in ideas.”
