I do not understand how someone who lives outside of dyslexia, or any other uniqueness (fibromyalgia, little people, autism, Amish, you name it) can possibly decide what is “hurtful” to dyslexic people especially if the art is created by a dyslexic person.
Let’s exchange dyslexia with African American or gay. A gay man makes artwork, and a straight person declares, “That’s unhelpful to gays.” Who are they to decide?? Or a Black woman writes a poem and a white person says, “That’s hurtful to Blacks.” What gives them that right to decide?? How about fibromyalgia—someone writes a story about their experience, and someone else says, “That’s wrong.” I just don’t get that mindset.
I would not ever dare to think that I have any qualification or justification whatsoever to decide what’s right or wrong for someone whose community or unique experience I do not share. What gives me the right to look into someone else’s expression of their own personal experience and judge it to be hurtful or helpful to a community they already live in??
If someone was making fun of dyslexics, that would be different, but if someone with dyslexia expresses himself in a way that’s unique to them and their community- leave them alone.
