Did you know Henry Winkler has dyslexia? He has written a memoir which mentions his struggles and ways he overcame reading and memorizing scripts! He also had to take geometry 4x before passing---and no one has once said "hypotenuse" to him since high school. He attended Yale regardless. 

He has co-written several children's books, including ones featuring overcoming dyslexia stigma! Here's a link to one series he has co-written: Hank Zipzer Collection 10 Books Set Pack Henry Winkler And Lin Oliver https://a.co/d/jeucsRL

Thank you, Brian Copeland, for introducing him to me last night.
