Dyslexia,a self compensating mental disorder

The topic took my attention because of the famous Dyslexic people....we are not very much aware of the strengths of dyslexia.There are many examples of Dyslexic people who were lacking in learning abilities but used their imagination to be a symbol of superiority....
These famous dyslexics proof that nurturing the dyslexic capabilities contributes to their own potential and happiness. In fact, they even contribute to a better world by using their abilities: Albert Einstein used his imagination to come up with relativity theory; Thomas Edison used his to invent; Walt Disney to entertain us; Winston Churchill to rally the British against Nazi Germany; Richard Branson and other entrepreneurs to create better products and services whilst creating employment in the process.

  • yslexia is
    a syndrome of many and varied symptoms affecting over 40 million American
    children and adults. Many with dyslexia and related learning and attention
    disorders realize quite early that they are not like their peers. Their
    learning and coordination or klutzy difficulties often lead to ridicule
    and/or self-recrimination — leading them to feel dumb and depressed-isolated.
    As a result, one can only wonder just how many potential creative geniuses
    — how many Einstein’s and Da Vinci’s — have been stigmatized
    and pushed aside?
