Albert Einstein and Learning Disabilities: Fact vs. Myth

There is no credible evidence that Albert Einstein had a learning disability (e.g., dyslexia, dyscalculia). Historical records show:

• Early speech delay (spoke in full sentences at ~3), but advanced comprehension.
• Excelled in mathematics and physics from childhood; mastered calculus by 15.
• Failed entrance exam to Swiss Polytechnic at 16 due to non-science subjects (French, chemistry)—not ability.
• Developed special relativity (1905) and general relativity (1915) while working as a patent clerk.

The "Einstein had dyslexia" narrative is a modern myth, possibly conflating his late talking with language disorders. His cognitive profile was exceptional, not impaired.
