Ca Dr. Gaurav Bhambri thank you so much.

Dyslexia occurs in children with normal levels of intelligence and vision, the symptoms are delay in learning to speak and read, and difficulty learning new words. Famous entrepreneurs have had dyslexia, probably Richard Branson, Steve Jobs or Walt Disney himself were tired of the difficulty of learning through reading due to their dyslexic condition. Possibly, dyslexia could have been a problem in their education, but it was not in business for: John T. Chambers (Cisco Systems), Henry Ford (Ford Motor Company), William Hewlett (HP), Tommy Hilfiger (Hilfiger Clothing), Ingvar Kamprad (IKEA), David H. Murdock (Dole Foods), Nelson A. Rockefeller (Standard Oil), Anita Roddick (The Body Shop), Steven Spielberg (DreamWorks), Thomas J. Watson Jr. (IBM).

Dear Doctor Juan Carlos Apaza Paucara - thank you very much. I am a were of Mr. Branson. May I please ask, do you by any chance have any open stats or any reference material on those other names ?

Dyslexia does not prevent being a good entrepreneur:

Thank you so much Dr. Paucara, much appreciated. Forbes can become a good source. We have looked at this before , but the research about ADHD came in its way. We are now looking again at this topic and whether dyslexia may even be overrepresented among entrepreneurs and/or self-employed. Or not.

The challenge with the ADHD label is that it covers a broad range. There may be value in approach this from a neuroscience perspective (not mental health) and also vision studies (there is a relationship between the two).

Thank you Anthony de Sigley , yes you're right. That is why we did focus on one of them in the previous research. Even if the comorbidity it selves is interesting.

Stefan, thank you for sharing.

I think this needs to be approached more holistically.

Most of the literature that I have seen focuses on the negative traits of ADHD, rather than all traits. To answer core question, i.e. does ADHD make a +ve to entrepreneurs, requires an analysis of all known neurodivergences of the ADHD state to the 'norm', where each might be a dis/advantage according to a particular business and cultural circumstance, and then comparison to the attributes required of entrepreneurs.

There is also another perspective, which is that differentiation is intrinsic to strategy, so in a highly competitive world some neurodivergent characteristics are likely to tip the scales.

Yes, there is scientific research:

You are most welcome dear Stefan Lindstrom .

Wish you the best always

Juan Carlos Apaza Paucara Thank you for - The Dyslexia Handbook,

Thank you Anthony de Sigley , so you have mostly seen negative articles about ADHD/entrepreneurship.

Cuz we did mostly seen positive and therefore had some problem with getting the first message thought. And therefore wrote in our Clarification article=

It is interesting to note that the message we tried to convey did not reach everyone and because of that we feel compelled to supplement our argumentation. We have some comments. Is it the case that the discussion that has taken place, not only in Sweden, has not taken into account that ADHD often affects and limits an individual’s opportunities to function in an optimal way.

In some articles, ADHD has been highlighted in such a way that one gets the impression that ADHD would provide special conditions to be an entrepreneur.

What is the background to this? Is it about wishful thinking and perceptual defense mechanisms? That one has a picture and wishful thinking that it relates in a certain way. Or one does not have the patience and composure to read a text and analyze and draw conclusions. Another factor that may possibly explain why one so reluctantly claims ADHD as a positive factor in this context is the image one makes of the entrepreneur. It is an image of an entrepreneur who leads an uncomplicated and clear business. This can lead to the creation of a notion that ADHD would provide conditions that are not fulfilled in reality. etc etc more in the attached article. Best regards Stefan

Stefan Lindstrom thank you for restating these points, raise more questions than answers. The point of my earlier comment may have been overlooked; until such a comparative analysis is done most of these questions will remain open.

That said, statements such as "Or one does not have the patience and composure to read a text and analyze and draw conclusions", and disparaging to a whole group of people and unlikely to add much real value to the debate, and "to function in an optimal way" begs the question: what is optimal?

Haseeb Javed

Anthony de Sigley thank you,

-what is optimal?

In this context, we meant to be in the right environment, surroundings.etc. One way to look at it - is like professional football players, sometimes they end in a new club, country, tactics, way of playing, or just a new position. Sometimes that does not end up - optimal. Or even so-called miss fit. (or miss trade of player) One exemple of optimal. Best R, Stefan

It's a good analogy. As a blanket term 'optimal' can be a bear trap; optimal characteristics are entirely context-dependent. A striker does not necessarily a good defender make!

Waller (1994:26) confirmed that in dyslexics, “intellectual grasp of facts, logic, reasoning, imagination, lateral thinking and creative skills may all be present to a very high degree”
