Leonardo da Vinci - Dyslexic

"Leonardo da Vinci was dyslexic, and he often wrote backwards. "

Dyslexia is a learning disability that makes itself manifest primarily as a difficulty with the visual notation of speech or written language, particularly with reading. It suggests that dyslexia results from differences in how the brain processes written and spoken language.

Identified by Oswald Berkhan in 1881, [4] the term 'dyslexia' was later coined in 1887 by Rudolf Berlin [5], an ophthalmologist practicing in Stuttgart, Germany. [6] He used the term to refer to a case of a young boy who had a severe impairment in learning to read and write in spite of showing typical intellectual and physical abilities in all other respects.

Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci (April 15, 1452 – May 2, 1519) was an Italian polymath, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, painter, sculptor,architect, botanist, musician and writer. Leonardo has often been described as the archetype of the renaissance man, a man whose unquenchable curiosity was equaled only by his powers of invention.
