Boy, 12, says dyslexia gives him his own superpowers

Ryan Hamilton Black’s superpowers do not allow him to generate unlimited amounts of energy, travel through time and space, or manipulate matter on a subatomic level.

He is, however, especially clever “at knowing how other people feel” and “at figuring how to work out problems”.

His dyslexia is not a curse but a superpower, he says, in his contribution to an innovative book whose title he inspired: Dyslexia is my Superpower (Most of the Time).
