About the Author

Ron Davis, author of The Gift of Dyslexia, grew up "retarded" (what would today be called autistic) until his early teens. Even though he failed miserably in the school system, he later took technical courses and became a successful engineer, businessman and artist. He was functionally illiterate until age 38 when he discovered how to mentally orient his perceptions. After that, he dedicated his life to helping people with the gift of dyslexia achieve literacy and self-esteem.
