«We see a bright dot, his mind shows him the sky…»

And that was when I looked up from the book and caught a glimpse of a picture my son had done laying on my desk: a perfect and imaginative representation of the word «water» on a sheet in his notebook (they were working on a project about water at school); I thought for a instant about all the problems I have with him and his dyslexia… my son also had some genius traits and until today I had only ever seen his difficulties, his exaggerated personality; exaggerated in everything he does, but also passionate about the things that he likes.
