The mass media often reports on successful people who had disabilities in their childhood. For example, the inventor Thomas Edison, Lee Kuan Yew, the former prime minister of Singapore, British prime minister Winston Churchill, American vice-president Nelson Rockefeller, and movie star Tom Cruise and all had some sort of learning disability.
以媒體報導來看，許多成功者小時候都是有障礙的孩子，例如發明家愛迪生、新加坡前總理李光耀、英國前首相邱吉爾、美國前副總統洛克菲勒、明星湯姆克魯斯...... 等，都曾是輕重程度不一的學習障礙生。
