In it, he says that in order to memorize scripts, he has someone read them to him and he memorizes them verbally. You cannot cure dyslexia, but there are ways to learn to live with it and function better in your lives.Tom Cruise's dyslexia is documented in one of my special education textbooks.

But since the originator of this credo was a sci-fi writer and actually said he would establish a religion to make money I figure it's fair game.Money, they do make .Cultish to say the least. To prey on the gullible because of star quality members is the norm. I also believe we are the descendants of an alien race marooned on this hell hole of a world,destined to purge ourselves of our own thoughts before reaching a clear state. ... MORE >

I could read better by the time I was 30. I was teaching at 24 and had to memorize scripts that I read to my class. For me, groups of words would disappear. For all of you that are suffering, you are all gifted people. Share your gift to the world. When someone calls you a 'nut job', just smile. Carry on with your dreams. You probably see in 3D. Most don't have that. I won 3 awards in video production last year. I have 6 million viewers on ivnet.tv. My guidance councilors told I wouldn't make much for myself. I have a Masters in Education plus 32 extra credits. Was elected 4 times to public office. I have 15 people that work for me in Video Production. My goal is to bring Hollywood back to New Jersey where it began by a dyslexic Thomas Edison. Have a great Year! RWB ... MORE >

• Mom of dyslexic in SJ Monday, Jan 5 at 1:34 PM FLAG COMMENT so if he was functionally illiterate before he joined Scientology, how was it possible that he read his scripts and was able to perform before it was magically cured?? There is no 'cure' for dyslexia, people who have it must learn how to cope with it, they learn techniques that allow them overcome it, but are not cured of it. The brains function in a different way, CAT scans have proven that - but in my opinion that can be a benefit, allowing them to see things in new and different ways and come up with new solutions to problems. There are many famous people who are known dyslexics, including Charles Schwab and John Chambers. I just don't see how a functionally illiterate person could possibly become an actor and get through all of the scripts that they would have to read and memorize to succeed as an actor. ... MORE >
