10 CEOs with Learning Disabilities

#5 Bram Cohen

Asperger’s syndrome couldn’t prohibit Bram Cohen from changing the internet world forever. The disease kept Cohen deeply obsessed with the world of patterns, puzzles, and computers. And with this big asset in hand, he created Bit Torrent, a disruptive technology that lets people transfer huge amounts of information over the Internet.

Bram Cohen, also known as ‘Bit Torrent’ is an American Programmer, who is best known as the author of the Peer-to-Peer Bit Torrent Protocol. He is also the co-founder of CodeCon.

#6 David Neeleman

The positivity of David Neeleman, the Chief Executive of JetBlue, is that he is very much frank about his Attention Deficiency Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and he considers it as an asset just like the ‘Kinko’ man.

He once said, "One of the weird things about the type of ADHD I have is, if you have something you are really, really passionate about, then you are really, really good about focusing on that thing." He added that it his ADHD that led him to create JetBlue’s e-ticketing system.
