S/O Laurel--Yanny--What does your child with dyslexia hear?

[popmom]

Mine heard both. But full disclosure...She does not have a formal diagnosis yet. Which makes me all the more curious what other kids who actually have a diagnosis hear. One of my fb friends said there is some speculation that dyslexics are more likely to hear both. I have no idea why that would be.

My kid with dyslexia isn't here but I'm dyslexic and hear Laurel.  :0)

It's probably just coincidence...I'm in this fb group--a local group for parents of students with dyslexia. Someone there asked this question. I guess it's no more than 7 or 8 people that commented, but every single one of them said their dyslexic child could hear both. There have been some studies that show a difference in sound perception in dyslexics. That's why I started this thread.

This is interesting to me, because my chid with dyslexia (not formally diagnosed, but informally "labeled" by a special ed person at our local school, who has children with dyslexia herself), froze, and couldn't answer the question, even though my other children all answered immediately.

From what I'm seeing as analyses come in, what a person hears has to do with which sound frequencies they hear most prominently.  I'm not understanding what dyslexia would have to do with anything.

The NYT has created a tool which allows you to move a slider back and forth on the sound spectrum between Laurel and Manny.  https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/05/16/upshot/audio-clip-yanny-laurel-debate.html?smid=fb-nytimes&smtyp=cur
