I was a dyslexic kid.

I was dyslexic, so I was put in the silly class at school.

I'm dyslexic, although they didn't have a word for it when I was in grade school. The teachers said I had 'word blindness.'

I probably went all the way to junior high school before a school doctor told me that I was 'dyslexic.'

That said, being dyslexic, I wasn't a great reader when I was kid.

I wasn't dyslexic, I was just very slow. I passed my time daydreaming.

I was dyslexic, I had no understanding of schoolwork whatsoever. I certainly would have failed IQ tests. And it was one of the reasons I left school when I was 15 years old. And if I - if I'm not interested in something, I don't grasp it.

Being dyslexic, I was told that I was an idiot all the time.

I've had such a hard time with dyslexia my whole life. When I was a child, I didn't learn to read until I was a lot older, and I was behind in my classes; it was such a challenge.

Whenever people talk about dyslexia, it's important to know that some of the smartest people in the world, major owners of companies, are dyslexic. We just see things differently, so that's an advantage. I just learn a different way; there's nothing bad about it.
