Dyslexia is a disorder that affects the ability to read despite normal intelligence. In another tweet, Broadis expressed concern that school children affected by this disorder never hear that they are often able to think in ways others cannot.
There's a common misconception that only people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can be dyslectic. The truth is that it can be caused by both environmental factors and passed on genetically.
Some people were quick to call this poem a palindrome but that is not entirely correct - a palindrome is something that can be read from both ends and still spell the same word, like 'racecar' or 'madam', or even whole phrases like "A man, a plan, a canal, Panama!". And let's not forget 'taco cat'.
