Tom Cruise has revealed that he had learning problems when he was 7. Cruise has credited Scientology for making him able to conquer his childhood disability, dyslexia. The Mission Impossible star has told Spanish magazine XL Semanal: “When I graduated from high school in 1980 I was functionally illiterate.”

Tom has been a Scientology hardliner. He credits his well being to his religion. He explained that his being “functionally illiterate” posed a row of problems in his early life.
Tom explained: “I asked myself if I was normal or an idiot. I would try to concentrate but I felt anxiety, frustration, boredom…”

Tom had offended members of the dyslexia community in 2003. Tom had claimed in an interview that Scientology had cured his dyslexia. Tom claims that he got over with his problems by diligently reading L. Ron Hubbard’s ‘The Basic Study Manual’. He talked about his days when he struggled with his illness: “Nobody gave me a solution and I wanted to know why the system had failed. Finally, as an adult I learned to read perfectly through the method of (Scientology founder) L.Ron Hubbard.”

Cruise is the founding member of the Scientology-based Hollywood Education and Literacy Project. He claimed that after reading Hubbard’s book ‘The Basic Study Manual’, his dyslexia was cured forever.

The Church of Scientology was established in 1945 by science-fiction writer L.Ron Hubbard and claims 10 million members around the world. Tom has been a devoted patron to the Scientology cause and the religion as a whole.
