I agree it’s not a hook but can potentially be used in a positive way, possibly as an essay topic. Your D’s example shows resiliency and determination to overcome obstacles instead of making excuses which we see a lot of on “chance me” threads here. As I’m sure you know, there are a lot of extremely famous, successful dyslexics. My favorite is Richard Branson who has spoken out about the positive aspects of dyslexia. My younger D also has dyslexia. There’s a good subforum here for learning disabilities with useful info including getting accommodations for testing. http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/learning-differences-challenges-ld-adhd/
