Dyslexia Primer

This article on CNN regarding dyslexia is very informative and just the tip of the iceberg in what I assume is quite advanced research into the disability. But what really touched me was the following quote at the end of the article:

[upon seeing a MRI image of his own brain] "That's my brain?" marvels Patrick, staring at images from the scanner as researchers show him his own cortex. "Wow!"

I hope Patrick can find ways to overcome his dyslexia and maybe, just maybe, consider studying similar areas when he gets older. It is his reaction that fill me with happiness; someone who sees just how (for lack of a better term) COOL stuff like this can be. I'll be smiling for the rest of the day.
