Will Ospreay Opens Up About Dyslexia and AEW Contract Assistance

AEW wrestler Will Ospreay recently shared his personal experiences with learning difficulties during an appearance on the Hey! (EW) YouTube show. Ospreay, who has been open about his struggles with autism, ADHD, and dyslexia, discussed the challenges he faces due to his conditions, including the need to have someone read his AEW contract to him because of his inability to read. Despite these obstacles, Ospreay hopes that his story can serve as an inspiration to others with similar challenges, demonstrating that success is achievable even with learning difficulties.

The professional wrestler emphasized the importance of taking risks and the potential for people with learning difficulties to succeed in their chosen fields. He expressed pride in his openness about his neurodivergence and aims to set an example for others. Ospreay's discussions on the topic also touched on the broader issue of how individuals with autism are perceived in the professional world, and he hopes his example can encourage more opportunities for those with similar experiences.

Currently active in the wrestling circuit, Ospreay is scheduled to compete against Bryan Danielson at the AEW Dynasty event on April 21 in St. Louis, Missouri. His discussions about his learning difficulties come as he continues to establish himself as a prominent figure in the wrestling industry, following his recent transition to AEW in March after his time with NJPW.
