Dyslexic people are often labeled as listless, inattentive and lazy; the experience, however, does not confirm this prejudice. “Dyslexia” comes from the Greek where “dys” means missing and “lexis” language. Dyslexia is not a weakness, it’s a condition, a disorder. It interferes with reading, writing, and counting, resulting in learning difficulties. With the help of compensatory strategies, dyslexic people can overcome the frustration that accompanies their experience and go on to great thing. Prominent dyslexics include Albert Einstein, John Lennon, Agatha Christie, Pablo Picasso, Magic Johnson, Jennifer Aniston and many others. With the right guidance, people with dyslexia can succeed in any sphere: the arts, sports, languages, social professions, science, nature. Or even photography, as in my case.
