Best known for playing the role of Rachel on the iconic sitcom Friends, actor Jennifer Aniston shared in a recently with Stephen Galloway that she has dyslexia.

Aniston says she was diagnosed with dyslexia in her twenties:

“The only reason I knew [that I had it] was because I went to get a prescription for glasses ... I had to read a paragraph, and they gave me a quiz, gave me 10 questions based on what I’d just read, and I think I got three right.”

The revelation was “life-changing,” says Aniston in the interview. When she was young, she wasn’t a good student because of issues related to her undiagnosed dyslexia.  She just thought she “wasn’t smart” and “couldn’t retain anything.”  But with the new discovery came a new knowledge of herself: “I felt like all of my childhood trauma-dies, tragedies, dramas were explained.”

Her struggles in school pushed her to develop an “innate humor.”  She channeled that humor into making friends at school and eventually into acting.

More and more Hollywood stars like Aniston are sharing their stories.  Read inspiring quotes from celebrities who are speaking up about learning and attention issues.
