Chuck Close - Rising Above Disabilities

I subscribe to Neurology Now magazine (is free, check out their website: http://journals.lww.com/neurologynow/pages/default.aspx ) and a recent feature article portrayed the artist Chuck Close. Throughout his life he has developed several afflictions, including dyslexia, paralysis and face blindness. Reading the article was very inspirational, as not only has he overcome and learned to work with his disabilities, but he has attributed his success to his dealing with his disabilities. For anyone dealing with a chronic illness reading this article is a must:
