In architecture there is high proportion of left handed and dyslexic people. Antonio Gaudi spent 10 years doing a 5 year course because he was dyslectic. Richard Rogers, Jørn Utzon (Sydney Opera house) and Mackintosh are all dyslexic as well.
The funny thing with architecture the best architect didn’t go to collage Frank Lloyd Wright, Corbusier and Mackintosh were all put of work by the architectural profession and all hated architects.
The modernist movement in architecture is all about none qualified architects doing architecture.
Makes me wonder why in the UK it is a 7 year course which progresses from part 1 to 2 to 3 when architecture is the art of being holistic.

Great list Michael! My 6 year old son is dyslexic. He might not be that academically inclined though he is physically advance. He learned to swim and ride the bike on his own , when he is about 2-3 years old. I know with the right guidance and support , he can become successful. Regards from Manila 🙂

This is a great list! I am a teacher of elementary dyslexic students. I am always looking for famous dyslexics to encourage my students.

Are there any people of color you can report on?

This gives insight into who is clearly being assisted in the system we live in.

If someone isn’t succeeding, it’s important to consider not why they can’t get ahead but also the situational and systemic factors that block them from being able to advance.

That’s really interesting, I have often read about successful people being left handed and or dyslexic, I suppose that from every difficulty comes an equal and opposite effect. Well done for taking the time to compile that table!

This is the right post!!!!
