My dyslexia battle: Aniston
J *ennifer Aniston *has opened up about her battle with dyslexia, saying for a long time she thought she just "wasn't smart".
Like many movie stars, the actress overcame her learning difficulties and admits she was relieved when she learnt of her diagnosis in her early 20s.
"I went to get a prescription for glasses. I had to wear these Buddy Holly glasses. One had a blue lens and one had a red lens," the former Friends star has told The Hollywood Reporter.
"And I had to read a paragraph, and they gave me a quiz, and gave me 10 questions based on what I'd just read, and I think I got three right.
"Then they put a computer on my eyes, showing where my eyes went when I read.
"My eyes would jump four words and go back two words, and I also had a little bit of a lazy eye, like a crossed eye, which they always have to correct in photos.
"I thought I wasn't smart. I just couldn't retain anything.
"Now I had this great discovery. I felt like all of my childhood trauma-dies, tragedies, dramas were explained."
