It is inappropriate to "suspect" a living person, even if they are a celebrity, of having dyslexia. If they are still alive, it should be considered their private medical data until they have released the information to the public. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Amorrow (talk • contribs) 2005-06-22T20:50:22 (UTC)

Yeah, I have never heard of Jefferson or Washington, and that is just a theory, on top of that I know Jefferson was a very avid reader, he also showed no signs of it at all.

Think before you speak.

list needs another clean-up

My criteria would be: you do not make it onto the dyslexia "A list" if you do no link to dyslexia in your Wikipedia page. Also, this pre-20th-century people are borderline at best. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Amorrow (talk • contribs) 2005-07-18T04:36:30 (UTC)

Steve Jobs

There are many articles referencing his adoptive mother teaching him to read before he started school, and yet his biography (which is not a diagnosis) says he didn't learn to read until much older. ^[1]

Shouldn't Arnie be added as well? Didn't he say, I think it was last year (2023), that he was identified as dyslexic due to him having to memorise a script? 86.144.206.155 (talk) 14:44, 26 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
