Abstract
The case history of a young man with remarkable concurrence of developmental dyslexia, emotional difficulties, and literary creativity. The supportive role of others (mother, teachers, therapists) in helping him to overcome his difficulties and express his talent is described. Some concepts are mentioned that may be helpful in attempting to explain a creativity that is primarily in the area of deficit. It is suggested that many dyslexics, such as this man, may have special adaptive traits which they and those who work with them can put to use.
