“He was dyslexic, which meant he couldn’t learn two lines without making a mistake. That meant he had to understand what he said, to feel it. That gave him a certain strength. He never played a scene the same way twice. He was a restless presence.”

- George Sluizer

When Ron, frustrated with studying for NEWTs and with Hermione’s anxious sixth-year nagging, explains to her what reading is like for him, Hermione’s breath catches. “Ron, you’re dyslexic,” she says, softly, and instantly regrets every snide comment she’s ever made towards his study habits. 

Soon, by asking around, Hermione amasses a list of spells for Ron to try - some stilling the page, some changing the font of books for easy reading, some going after Ron’s temporal lobe directly. 

These help, a little, but not as much as knowing there’s a word for why reading is so hard for him. That it’s normal, that he’s not stupid, and that Hermione suddenly helps instead of criticizes, looks for solutions rather than complains, praises instead of gloats.

Bill Gates (ADHD)

A guy who is so successful and so smart that is seems nearly impossible for him to have ADHD. Bill Gates is the man behind Microsoft, and he also started the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation with his wife. He is known for his solid intellect and his money, of course, but he also is a prime case of someone with ADHD who persevered. As a child, he was often the one interrupting the class and speaking over other people. He was having trouble in school so he dropped out of Harvard University! Amazing, right?

Emma Watson (ADHD)

It seems that everyone on earth just adores the loveable and pretty Emma Watson. She appeared in all of the Harry Potter films and acted superbly in each one. Yet many people do not know that Emma Watson has ADHD. What? The same Emma Watson who is a star actress, completed a degree in English at Brown University, and serves as an ambassador in the United Nations? Yes, that Emma Watson. People who learn about Emma’s attention disorder are often shocked, but the mental health stigma needs to end. Nothing like ADHD could make us stop loving her, am I right?

Zooey Deschanel  (ADHD)

Zooey Deschanel is beloved by the media and the public for being quirky and cool and sexy all at the same time. She has an affinity for being odd and strangely adorable, even if she is not quite sure how she does it herself! She is also one of the many people who suffers from ADHD. She does have some entertaining patterns of behavior and she is a creative, and that may be somewhat attributable to her attention disorder. Zooey says that she does not want to have kids because that is just not where her focus goes. Good on her for recognizing that and being okay with who she is. As a child she struggled with being bullied, but just look at her now!

Michelle Rodriguez (ADHD)

Michelle Rodriguez hit the big-time when she starred in the hit series Lost. She also dated Zac Efron for a time, but we will leave that be. Michelle is another famous female who was diagnosed with the attention disorder. She talked with Cosmopolitan Magazine about it and we must give her kudos for discussing her mental health with such a popular magazine. Hopefully loads of readers saw the interview and realized a mental disorder does not make you crazy or scary. In fact, there are loads of people living with ADHD in the United States alone. Michelle may need extra help focusing, but that’s no problem!

Pete Rose (ADHD)

Pete Rose contributed to a memoir in which he revealed what life is like with ADHD. In the book My Prison Without Bars, Rose writes about how he sought out competition and struggled with achieving greatness in the face of an attention disorder. He spoke out about how having ADHD is like living with something inside of you that you can’t really control. Yet it was that dopamine imbalance that was one of the biggest factors in pushing him to achieve superstardom on the baseball diamond. There is no “easy answer,” as Rose puts it, but it is something that sufferers just live with.
