This thesis project aims to explore the condition of dyslexia from a perspective that goes beyond the boundaries of the educational context, focusing in particular on its impact in the workplace and on the construction of personal identity. The first chapter outlines dyslexia according to the diagnostic criteria of the DSM, highlighting how this condition not only affects learning but also involves the emotional and identity dimensions of the individual. It emphasizes the need to move beyond the clinical label and to acknowledge the psychological implications associated with the diagnosis. The second chapter analyzes the dynamics of discrimination and stigmatization that may arise in the workplace, examining the consequences on self-esteem, performance anxiety, and self-perception, as well as on relationships with colleagues. The final part of the thesis is dedicated to identifying compensatory tools and support technologies for workers with dyslexia, emphasizing the importance of inclusive and collaborative professional environments. The thesis concludes with a reflection on the urgency of promoting a work culture that recognizes and values neurocognitive diversity as a resource.
Il presente progetto di tesi si propone di approfondire la condizione della dislessia in una prospettiva che superi i confini del contesto scolastico, focalizzandosi in particolare sull’impatto che essa può avere in ambito lavorativo e sulla costruzione dell’identità personale. Nel primo capitolo viene delineata la dislessia secondo i criteri diagnostici del DSM, mettendo in luce come tale condizione non si limiti a influenzare l’apprendimento, ma coinvolga anche dimensioni emotive e identitarie dell’individuo. Viene sottolineata la necessità di andare oltre l’etichetta clinica, riconoscendo le implicazioni psicologiche legate alla diagnosi. Il secondo capitolo analizza le dinamiche di discriminazione e stigmatizzazione che possono emergere nel contesto lavorativo, esaminando le ricadute sull’autostima, sull’ansia da prestazione e sulla percezione di sé, nonché sulle relazioni con i colleghi. L’ultima parte del lavoro è dedicata all’individuazione di strumenti compensativi e tecnologie di supporto per i lavoratori dislessici, evidenziando l’importanza di contesti professionali inclusivi e collaborativi. La tesi si conclude con una riflessione sull’urgenza di promuovere una cultura del lavoro che riconosca e valorizzi la diversità neurocognitiva come risorsa.
