Henry Winkler, the actor who played “The Fonz” on the hit t.v. show, Happy Days, was diagnosed with dyslexia at a young age. At that time there was very little known about dyslexia, and he was punished for being “stupid.” Now that he knows he is dyslexic, Winkler is very angry at the way he was treated by both children and adults during his youth.
Henry Winkler overcame dyslexia to act and write children books.
Henry Winkler decided to take action and to vent his anger by writing children’s books with a main character that has learning difficulties. These books are currently being made into a TV show that Winkler also stars in. The hope is that the show will increase awareness of dyslexia in young children.
