- Confusion triggers disorientation.
When dyslexics are confused (or curious) they might mentally look at objects, words, or ideas from many angles. We call this disorientation. Disorientation is part of the natural thinking style of a dyslexic person. This disorientation contributes to creative thinking as well as distraction and distorted perception.
- When people are disoriented, they can make mistakes.
