Wolf’s 2011 letter to parents of dyslexic children, written as a scientist and as the mother of a dyslexic son.
No one can ever prepare a parent for two things: the immeasurable love that comes with having a child; and the sorrow and confusion that comes when your child appears to learn in a different way from other children.
— Maryanne Wolf, The Guardian
