Patrick’s battle with dyslexia

by AmyD

I just read an interesting article about Patrick Dempsey’s dyslexia. He wasn’t diagnosed until the age of 12. He spent much of his childhood struggling to just read and not understanding why he was having so many problems. He reveals that even now he has trouble reading the scripts in the read throughs. He prefers to memorize it. But he does say “I think it’s made me who I am today, It’s given me a perspective of – you have to keep working. I have never given up.”

You’ve got to love that attitude. Keep on keeping on.
