The primary challenge posed by dyslexia for him personally is spelling rather than a fundamental lack of capability.

“But yeah, my dyslexia it's really just my spelling. I mean, honestly It's just that, yeah.”

Dyslexia served as a powerful motivator in her life because it fueled her desire to prove to others that she was not stupid.

“if I wasn't dyslexic and I didn't have a hard time in school I don't think I would have been successful believe it or not because I think everything I've done in my life has been one long attempt to show the world that I'm not stupid”

Dyslexia is sometimes used as a way to avoid personal accountability.

“Of all the modern medical diagnosis fads, which increasingly seem to be ways to dodge personal accountability, is dyslexia just an excuse for not wanting to proofread text messages?”

Dyslexia is often used as a convenient excuse to avoid tasks, even though it can also be a personal advantage.

“I think it is true. People use it as an excuse. I used it as an excuse growing up. I go I can't do this. I have dyslexia. I would go I got a little excuse to not have to do the thing.”
