Symptom #7: Difficulty with Sequences
Our ability for abstract thought is very beneficial to us. It helps us to determine what should come next and what should occur at some point in the future. For example, it can let us know where a prey animal is likely to be in a few moments time, allowing us to anticipate to strike at the right time.
This also has other benefits, such as with mathematics and problem-solving. Children are often taught at a young age to work out what comes next and it is a powerful learning tool overall. Children and adults with dyslexia, though, can struggle to tell what comes next, even in the most basic of sequences.
