Famous Dyslexics
Dyslexia(n.[医]诵读困难）is a learning disability that can often be devastating(adj.破坏性的）if untreated. People who suffer from dyslexia primarily have trouble with written language, both reading and writing. Despite having this affliction(n.痛苦，苦恼）, many people overcome it to lead normal and successful lives. We’ve compiled a list of some well known people who suffered (or were thought to suffer) from dyslexia, some of whom will definitely surprise you.
Albert Einstein
He couldn’t talk until he was four and didn’t learn to read until age nine but went on to develop the theory of relativity and stay in most people’s mind as a genius.
George W. Bush
The 43rd President was head cheerleader his senior year of high school but struggled academically, especially with reading and writing. His response to his diagnosis of dyslexia? “No, I’m not dyslexic,” Bush said on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” “That’s all I can tell you.”
Winston Churchill
The former Prime Minister of the UK had a lot of problems in school due to what historians believe was undiagnosed dyslexia.
Tom Cruise
The actor went through 15 schools in 12 years and was put in the remedial(adj.补习的，治疗的） classes at school but claimed that Scientology cured him from his dyslexia after he converted（v.更换）.
