Having dyslexia I remember counting paragraphs too. I still do not understand why people who are in training to become teachers are not given any lessons about dyslexia. Why do teachers feel they have to tell students they will " never amount to anything"? Thank you Vincenzo. I have always wanted someone to put the topic of dyslexia into films and media and you are doing it.

Even though I know Vincent personally, this comment is not based on my love and admiration for him. Knowing him as I do, I can assure you he is a personable, smart, happy, social, handsome, loving guy. However, to read about this wonderful young man in this article is heartwarming. His courage and dedication to the issue of dyslexia is the finest example of what a person is capable of doing with their life, even in the face of adversity. He has perservered and has never, ever given up. As you read his story, it brings it into focus how difficult everyday life with dyslexia was for him as he was growing up, and yet, he overcame the problems and has become a shining example of everything good about today's young generation. But the reason Vincent deserves our admiration most of all is the hope and help he has offered for parents of dyslexic children, and all of those who have dyslexia. His movie is an "eye-opener" to say the least. His movie has the potential to educate people worldwide, which will in effect open the doors of hope and education for others. He truly has made "lemonade from a lemon", and offered the world the recipe!

Vincenzo, Way to go! Just from reading this article, you have enlightened people of all ages. Many of us still can't spell for shi* and sometimes spell check won't even recognize the very creative word we type. Thanks as my twin and I did go through much in school just barley graduating to the next class due to, not the grades, but much effort of hours of study and tutors. Over the years I have come to understand that having dyslexia forced or moved oneself to other means of understanding things that the norm education was thought. for sure....Creativity! Thanks Patter

I burst into tears reading your article. THIS IS MY SON AND FINALLY---SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS!!!
My son is 10 years old and is currently in the 4th grade. You understand, more than anyone else (even me) what this child is going through. The schools are so ill-equipted to handle and help these children. They are some of the brightest people one will ever meet; yet the way our educational system is set up, they are written off as lost causes.
My husband and I are his biggest advocates! We really BELIVE IN HIM! We know his potential and hopefully we can get this through to him before 'society' beats him down.
Thank you for your dedication to this cause. I wish there were more people like you--then perhaps things can change!
Our sincere-sincere appreciation and admiration to you. Good luck to you. We know you have a great future ahead of you!
