People with dyslexia tend to have a different thinking style and are often strong visual thinkers. This means that they process information holistically, rather than sequentially. Some common characteristics are:

creativity (think of Andy Warhol and Mika)
being sensitive to other people; being able to read and respond to body language (like many actors and actresses)
having the ability to approach things from an unusual perspective and produce new ideas (like Richard Branson and Bill Gates)
being able to see the whole picture and how things inter-connect (many of politicians, for example Michael Heseltine)
being able to think of new ideas (like many of our greatest scientists)
and most dyslexics are very articulate and have a wicked sense of humour (one obvious example is Robin Williams).
