"What exactly is dyslexia? The Everyman definition calls it a reading disorder in which people jumble letters, confusing dog with god, say, or box with pox. The exact cause is unclear; scientists believe it has to do with the way a developing brain is wired. Difficulty reading, spelling, and writing are typical symptoms. But dyslexia often comes with one or more other learning problems as well, including trouble with math, auditory processing, organizational skills, and memory. No two dyslexics are alike--each has his or her own set of weaknesses and strengths." (FORTUNE) This article focuses on dyslexia and describes how several professionals, such as Charles Schwab and Whoopi Goldberg, have managed to overcome the disorder.
