Richard Branson is dyslexic, but I suspect he shows signs of dyspraxia.

Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine's dyspraxic and dyslexic. She's told people in interviews, she also went to my art college :)

I'm amazed no one's mentioned actor Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter). Apparently his mother persuaded him to take up acting when he was a kid because his dyspraxia meant he was having difficulty at school and she wanted him to gain confidence. Looks like it worked! :D

he was also rumoured to have had aspergers syndrome as well, there is some well known writers like Emily Bronte and Charlotte Bronte who also may have had Dyspraxia :grin:
