Will Ospreay discusses his dyslexia and other learning .
Will Ospreay was the latest guest on Hey! (EW) on Sunday and spoke on a variety of topics with RJ City, including his origin as a Billy Goat, rating Dave Meltzer as a critic and much more. One topic that Ospreay spoke on was his revelation that he suffers from several learning difficulties, including ADHD and dyslexia.
During the discussion on the topic, Will made the claim that he had to have someone read his contract to him due to his dyslexia. Ospreay also noted that he hoped that seeing him do what he does inspires others with learning difficulties.
"In the school system, I didn't find out a lot about myself until after I left. So I wasn't afforded any of the extra time. There were so many things in my education that I really needed help on and I didn't get that help and it's not just me, it's a a wide bunch of people. So finding out all this about myself, I just want to show people that like, you know, like, yeah, I've got autism. I have ADHD as well. I'm super dyslexic. I can't read. I had to have someone read my contract out for me. So like, it's super embarrassing, man. It really is. But like, I feel like I've got to the point where I am because of all these things that make me who I am and I want to inspire people. So like, a lot of people don't take risks on people that do have autism around my area. I would like to hope that seeing me doing this stuff, it does inspire other people."
RJ City would then ask if that made Will better than him, which Will curtly stated it did.
Ospreay is scheduled to face off with Bryan Danielson at AEW Dynasty, but will face Claudio Castagnoli one on one on Wednesday's edition of AEW Dynamite. You can read more about that here.
