A difficult read

TOM Cruise has said publicly that the practice of medicating children is wrong. He was reportedly diagnosed dyslexic when he was seven years old. The psychiatrists wanted to put him on drugs but his mother refused. And today, he says, “Had I been put on those drugs, I would never be here today ? having the career that I’m having.” What is dyslexia? 

Dyslexia is a neurological learning disability. There are still a lot of theories and speculation about its origins. A dyslexic’s brain is different from that of a “normal” brain. But after many years of research with CT scans, MRI, PET scans and SPECT scans, everyone is still not certain which area of the brain is the root cause of dyslexia.
