A ‘labelled’ child carries the impressions others heap on him, for life. Dyslexia is a learning disability plagued by misconceptions. Common labels for children with dyslexia include ‘slow’, ‘unintelligent’ or even worse, ‘stupid’. Some are even left behind, overlooked or ignored in kindergarten or school settings.
Misconceptions of Autism
This article summarises some of the misconceptions individuals have heard and experienced first hand by self-advocates, caregivers and practitioners.
