Due to the various cognitive processes that dyslexia affects and the overwhelming societal stigma around the disability, individuals with dyslexia often employ behaviors of self-stigma and perfectionistic self-presentation in order to cope with their disability [1]. The perfectionist self-presentation is when an individual attempts to present themselves as the perfect ideal image and hides any imperfections [2]. This behavior presents serious risk as it often results in mental health issues and refusal to seek help for their disability [3]. Despite such difficulties that dyslexia presents, it is important to observe that some of the greatest minds and talents in history were dyslexic. Among them were Albert Einstein, Leonardo da Vinci, and Pablo Picasso.
