Dyslexia When John Made a Boo-Boo: A Miniature Mix-Up - We Print Miniatures

Mistakes happen. We all make them. And sometimes, they turn into funny little stories—like this one. Our very own Dyslexic John at We Print Miniatures made a bit of a boo-boo and accidentally ordered the wrong size wrappers for our Fantasy Miniatures Boxes. Not exactly a catastrophe, but when you’re a business that’s passionate about delivering top-quality miniatures to gamers and collectors, even small mix-ups can throw things off track.

But instead of letting this delay your orders, we’ve come up with a quick fix: you can pre-order your Fantasy Miniatures Box today, and we’ll ship it immediately— and then follow on with a new internal box that will fit the wrapper. As soon as the correct-sized boxes arrive.. That way, you get your hands on some amazing miniatures now rather than waiting for everything to be perfect. After all, in the world of Dungeons & Dragons and other RPGs, things rarely go exactly as planned—and that’s what makes the adventure exciting!

What’s Inside the Fantasy Miniatures Box?

Each box contains 6 beautifully sculpted 28mm Fantasy Miniatures, carefully selected from our popular Heroes of the Hamlets and Heroes of the Southwald starter sets. These figures, designed by the talented RN Estudio, bring rich detail and character to your tabletop battles, campaigns, and painting projects. Whether you’re a dungeon master looking to add new heroes to your world or a collector eager to expand your display shelf, this set has something for you.

But this whole situation got us thinking about something bigger than just miniatures and packaging mishaps: dyslexia and how it affects people in everyday life—including in business.

Dyslexia and the Challenges of Running a Business

John’s mix-up wasn’t just a random mistake; it was a small example of something many people deal with daily. Dyslexia is a learning difference that affects how people process language, including reading, writing, and sometimes numbers. It’s estimated that 1 in 10 people have dyslexia, meaning a huge portion of the population navigates the world with a brain that’s wired a little differently.

Dyslexia has nothing to do with intelligence—far from it. Some of the most brilliant minds in history, from Albert Einstein to Richard Branson, were or are dyslexic. But it does mean that things like reading product labels, placing orders, and even responding to emails can sometimes present unexpected challenges.

John, like many others with dyslexia, occasionally struggles with processing specific details—like, say, the size specifications for a bulk order of box wrappers! It’s an easy thing to overlook, but when you’re in a business that deals with precise measurements and orders, small mistakes can lead to logistical headaches.

Supporting Neurodiversity at We Print Miniatures

At We Print Miniatures, we embrace neurodiversity—which includes dyslexia, ADHD, autism, and other cognitive differences. We believe that people who think differently bring unique perspectives, problem-solving skills, and creativity to the table.

Yes, that sometimes means a mix-up with a box order. But it also means innovative thinking, fresh ideas, and a company culture that values adaptability and teamwork.

If you or someone you know has dyslexia, here are a few helpful strategies for success in the workplace:

  • Use Digital Tools – Text-to-speech apps and dictation tools can make reading and writing easier.
  • Double-Check Important Details – Having a second pair of eyes on orders or documents can help catch small mistakes.
  • Play to Your Strengths – Many dyslexic people excel in creative thinking, problem-solving, and visual reasoning—use those strengths!
  • Create a Supportive Work Environment – Open conversations and team collaboration make a big difference.

By understanding and supporting neurodiversity, businesses (including ours) create an environment where everyone can thrive—whether they’re designing miniatures, placing orders, or handling customer support.
