Scientology Seemingly Healed Him
Very few people know Tom was diagnosed with dyslexia, a learning affliction affecting reading, writing, and spelling abilities, when he was seven. He later claimed that his involvement with Scientology helped him overcome this condition, crediting the controversial religion and its “Study Technology” program for providing him with methods and training to alleviate the condition.
Naturally, Tom’s claim has generated considerable discussion and skepticism within medical and scientific communities. Dyslexia is a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition, and individuals living with it can learn strategies and coping mechanisms to mitigate the associated challenges. However, despite extensive research, there is no universally recognized cure.
