      Absolutely! Im dyslexic and dyspraxic (co-ordination issues). I could run all sorts of experiments and really understood them if I was doing it, but if I read it in a book..no chance! Its taken me some time to figure out what works for me and how to get round it but I do and can!

      To tell you a secret, I wasnt smart enough to do triple science. I am a good bioloigst but failed physics. Its all about finding what you love. For my work, the only science I do now is what I love, human sleep and neuroscience (brain biology).
