If you are dyslexic or better… a “Multi-dimensional
FreeThinker”–in short FreeThinker, one who thinks freely,
and with out boundaries you are in good company. The following
is a list of famous or recognized people who have been reported
in the media, on the web, and in books as having some form of dyslexia
or of struggling in school. Our intentions are to research these leads and profile their inspiring stories with factual information about their lives in hopes of opening the door to self-discovery for others. Some of the names are linked to others’ websites that feature their biographies. Those with a little picture have a biography by
us (Van Gogh, Dornenburg). Those listed with “*” have confirmed references to their learning
difficulties. If you
have any leads to confirm their learning difficulties, we would
appreciate the information. At the bottom are references to other
lists we have found on the web. [Keep
updated on what’s new] If you are a student doing research
and have a biography of anyone on our list, send it to us and
we may post it.

If you are
on my list, or you can contact someone on my list please do.
I need to interview you, students are desperate to hear your
story! Please right me or call me. [click]

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Stacy Poulos

At one point of my life, I thought
my writing was too pitiful to pursue. Beyond my wildest dreams,
this website emerged thanks to my Macintosh and encouragement
from a columnist of the San Francisco Chronicle. This
website is the story of my struggle with dyslexia. It is also
the story of the struggles of others, how they contribute to
our world, and the light they bring to people’s lives, including
mine.

 

List compliments of Playback.net
Video Film Multimedia under our Golden Visions mission and the people who support my vision.

If you’d like to contribute to our effort
to bring light to dyslexia, click

or have comments, input, suggestions, or insight you would like
to share, or if you know someone who does, do tell. We would
love to hear from you.
