Dyslexia Series-Disabled Legend Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill described himself as having a "Speech Impediment", which he consistently worked to overcome. After many years, he finally stated, "My impediment is no hindrance."

Churchill's impediment may also have been cluttering, which would fit more with his lack of attention to unimportant details and his very secure ego. According to several sources Winston Churchill was not dyslexic and had no learning disability whatsoever. In his autobiography he played up his low grades at Harrow, undoubtedly to convince readers, and possibly himself, how much he had overcome; but in this he exaggerated. Winston was actually quite good at subjects he enjoyed and in fact won several school prizes.
