I know there are some famous people who have had it. I will see if I can find a list. These girls are very mean. You could inform them that researchers have found that dyslexia is not associated with intelligence, and that they are showing their lack of knowledge by thinking it is. Then hold your head up high (be proud) and ignore their comments! Here is just one list. I'm sure you can find more people too on the Internet.
