I'm dyslexic.
Adam Neumann
I've been dyslexic and had Attention Deficit Disorder at some time in my life. I still read with a highlighter, but I've always loved to read.
Andrew Young
Being dyslexic, creativity was my way of expressing myself.
Ashley Nell Tipton
I was very active but I was dyslexic and had a really hard time at school.
Ashley Scott
I'd like to help other kids with dyslexia, because I'm dyslexic. It was very hard, and I know that what I went through, other kids are going through.
Bella Thorne
I have to work extra hard because I am dyslexic. People said that I couldn't be an actress, but I'm proving them wrong. Acting has helped me overcome the challenge.
I'm a bit dyslexic so I found learning to read hard. I muddled up the letters but learnt to power through.
Ben Fogle
If I wasn't dyslexic, I probably wouldn't have won the Games. If I had been a better reader, then that would have come easily, sports would have come easily... and I never would have realized that the way you get ahead in life is hard work.
Caitlyn Jenner
If you are dyslexic, your eyes work fine, your brain works fine, but there is a little short circuit in the wire that goes between the eye and the brain. Reading is not a fluid process.
I was a dyslexic kid.
I probably went all the way to junior high school before a school doctor told me that I was 'dyslexic.'
My greatest gift in life was being dyslexic. It made me special. It made me different. If I had not been dyslexic, I wouldn't have needed sports.
It caused more problems as a young kid, because the simple process of perceiving words on a piece of paper was hard for me. Many people think dyslexic people see things backwards. They don't see things backwards.
If I had not been dyslexic, I wouldn't have needed sports. I would have been like every other kid. Instead, I found my one thing, and I was never going to let go of it. That little dyslexic kid is always in the back of your head.
The biggest problem with dyslexic kids is not the perceptual problem, it is their perception of themselves. That was my biggest problem.
The truth is everybody does it from time to time. People dial telephone numbers and they get a wrong number only to find that they've read the last two digits backwards. Everybody does it, but dyslexics have this tendency to a higher degree.
So I'm half deaf - and dyslexic. How about that? Nobody's perfect, and I'm proud of my defects.
Carmen Busquets
As a kid, I thought of myself as stupid because I needed remedial help. It was not until much later that I figured out that I was dyslexic and that my trouble with spelling and sounding out words did not mean I was stupid, but early impressions stuck with me and colored my world for a time.
Carol W. Greider
Throughout human history, some of our most influential inventors, entrepreneurs, and leaders have had disabilities. For example, Bill Gates, Sir Richard Branson, and Charles Schwab are all dyslexic, while scientist Stephen Hawking has used a wheelchair for decades.
Cathy McMorris Rodgers
Whenever people talk about dyslexia, it's important to know that some of the smartest people in the world, major owners of companies, are dyslexic. We just see things differently, so that's an advantage. I just learn a different way; there's nothing bad about it.
Charlotte McKinney
There are so many artists that are dyslexic or learning disabled, it's just phenomenal. There's also an unbelievably high proportion of artists who are left-handed, and a high correlation between left-handedness and learning disabilities.
Being dyslexic, I was told that I was an idiot all the time.
I was dyslexic, so I was put in the silly class at school.
Now, where does my comedy come from, like, as a human being? Yeah, when I was a kid I was dyslexic and had to go to special-ed every day and felt stupid about that and got very witty to defend myself.
I'm dyslexic, although they didn't have a word for it when I was in grade school. The teachers said I had 'word blindness.'
I like to call myself numerically dyslexic, but officially, I am mathematically thick.
I was dyslexic and uneducated and left school at 14. I grew up in Finsbury Park, which was a pretty bad place where you had to fight and be beaten. It was just a constant roundabout of violence.
I loved 'Harry Potter' growing up. I'm dyslexic and a slow reader, but I could get through the thick ones in days!
At school I was really heavily dyslexic, so I really struggled academically with reading and writing.
The one trait in a lot of dyslexic people I know is that by the time we got out of college, our ability to deal with failure was very highly developed. And so we look at most situations and see much more of the upside than the downside.
I'm quite dyslexic in school. My dad let me figure out what I wanted to do on my own. My parents never really lecture me.
I was dyslexic and didn't know it until I was 31. Couldn't do math, spell, or tell left from right - left was the elbow that stuck out the window while I drove.
I didn't think anything I wrote was going to get published. I'm a dyslexic kid who had tutors through college. But I had a very strong impulse to write.
There was a time when I would sit with my books and immediately put them away. I'm not dyslexic, but I was like that child in 'Taare Zameen Par.' Coincidentally, the character's name was also Ishaan.
I was dyslexic, so math and formulas were not necessarily my strong suit.
I wasn't dyslexic, I was just very slow. I passed my time daydreaming.
I'm completely dyslexic, so academia was never really my path.
I'm completely dyslexic - it's the writing part. People read what I've written, and they have no idea what I'm trying to say.
My sister is dyslexic, and she's so smart, so intelligent in all of the ways that matter.
I was incredibly shy and insecure as a child. I was bullied. I was dyslexic. I had an immigrant single parent. I was the opposite of that kind of ideal, cool girl thing.
I was painfully shy as a child; I was dyslexic. I had a single mother who's an immigrant. I just didn't believe acting was something that people like me could do on a professional level.
I've got one grandson gone to MIT. Another grandson had been in the American school here. Because he was dyslexic, and we then didn't have the teachers to teach him how to overcome or cope with his dyslexia, so he was given exemption to go to the American school. He speaks like an American. He's going to Wharton.
I picked up reading late because I grew up dyslexic. When I went to college, a friend who was a big reader got me started on a number of writers, including Hemingway.
I've got a funny way of looking at things. It's because I'm dyslexic, and I was diagnosed with ADD when I was younger. And I'm left-handed as well.
Being very dyslexic I couldn't even tie my own shoe laces until the age of 21 and I struggled at school.
An incredibly high percentage of successful entrepreneurs are dyslexic. That's one of the little-known facts.
So my dyslexia has got me into trouble, but I feel I can talk about it because I want to say to everyone who is dyslexic that the technology exists to help. The most important thing was being diagnosed.
Technology can be an enormous enabler. I'll give you one example. I have never really talked about this before, but I am dyslexic and I didn't find that out at school.
I don't want anyone to feel they can't achieve their ambitions if they are dyslexic.
I'm dyslexic, which means I have trouble reading and writing. So images really speak to me.
