And many of whom were dyslexic!
My newly diagnosed DD9 is on a personal mission to discover how dyslexia can be viewed as an ability rather than a disability. When you are counted among the likes of Einstein, Churchill, Kennedy, Mozart, Edison, Lennon, Disney and Steve Jobs, you can't help but be inspired.
"Sally Shaywitz, a leading dyslexia neuroscientist at Yale, believes the disorder can carry surprising talents along with its well-known disadvantages. "Dyslexics are overrepresented in the top ranks of people who are unusually insightful, who bring a new perspective, who think out of the box," says Shaywitz. She is co-director of the Center for Learning and Attention at Yale, along with her husband, Dr. Bennett Shaywitz, a professor of pediatrics and neurology."
