In some cases, a child may have a skill or talent because of the way their brain works differently. In fact, some of the most famous celebrities and important innovators had some kind of learning disability.
Historians have theorized that brilliant geniuses Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, and Amadeus Mozart all may have been on the autism spectrum. There is also great evidence that Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, and famous novelist Agatha Christie both had dyslexia.
There are present day examples, too. Both Tom Cruise and Whoopi Goldberg, two of Hollywood’s leading actors, have been outspoken about their dyslexia. More recently, influential director Zack Snyder has opened up about having dyslexia. Imagine the different world we'd be living in if these people were discouraged from pursing their talents!
