Famous
People who may have been dyslexic.
The dyslexic condition is often misdiagnosed or missed
altogether even today. Looking to the past we can only surmise if
someone might have been dyslexic. To determine such we look at their
accomplishments. Dyslexia is a relatively more recent understanding
of the way some people learn and perceive the world around them.
Sometimes their own words as to how they imagined or otherwise
envisioned their projects give us a clue as to their possibly being
dyslexic. We will more likely never know whether or not those of the
past were actually dyslexic or not Walt Disney -
entrepreneur, founder of Disney Land
Disney may or may not have had dyslexia, if he did it would
certainly explain his genius for the visionary designing of Disney
Land and the cartoons that followed.
Thomas Edison - Inventor,
Studying his life Edison was determined to have been dyslexic which
accounts for his visionary genius.
Albert Einstein - E=MC2,
Mathematician.
Einstein's parents were told by a teacher he would never amount to
anything. Dyslexia would account for his ability to envision beyond
the norm and lack of attention to his personal finances.
Pablo Picasso - artist.
Picasso had trouble with writing but would paint as he saw his
subjects guiding the orientation of his paintings, sometimes,
backwards, upside down, or out of order.
