In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Jennifer Aniston talks about being diagnosed with dyslexia in her early 20s. The Hollywood Reporter quotes Aniston as follows:
"The only reason I knew [that I had it] was because I went to get a prescription for glasses," she recalls. "I had to wear these Buddy Holly glasses. One had a blue lens and one had a red lens. And I had to read a paragraph, and they gave me a quiz, gave me 10 questions based on what I'd just read, and I think I got three right. Then they put a computer on my eyes, showing where my eyes went when I read. My eyes would jump four words and go back two words, and I also had a little bit of a lazy eye, like a crossed eye, which they always have to correct in photos. The revelation that she had dyslexia was life-changing. Until then, "I thought I wasn't smart. I just couldn't retain anything," she says. "Now I had this great discovery. I felt like all of my childhood trauma-dies, tragedies, dramas were explained."
