I would suggest that a lot of the top musicians and artists did poorly in school, and many of the probably have learning disabilities. That seems to be fairly common with very creative people.

Carol I am not sure if this is you talking and I am not sure whether this is something that has been carefully researched or something you have an impression of.

I don't think there is any evidence that a lot of top musicians and artists did poorly in school - but I am happy to be corrected by detailed research.

Incidentally professionals in this country end not to use the word "disabilities".
