Dyslexia is a neurological condition that is often associated with being non-academic, leading to an emphasis being placed on famous dyslexics from the world of sport such as Lewis Hamilton, Caitlin Jenner and more. However, being dyslexic does not mean that the world of academia nor professional work is out of reach. In fact, the traits which see so many dyslexics excel in sport would see them do the same in the world of work should opportunities arise and confidence not be quashed.
