Does Carly Simon have agoraphobia?

The singer learns how to say goodbye L ACKING EMOTIONAL STAMINA, CARLY WAS, BY HER own admission, “a fairly neurotic kid” who grappled from an early age with agoraphobia (literally, “fear of the marketplace”). She had a strong aversion to leaving the house to go to school, and often made the inevitable trip with stomach aches and a gagging constriction in her throat that she and her mother referred to as the “worry lump.” In class, she often stuttered so badly she could scarcely utter a sound, let alone recite or read aloud.

1. Carly needed extra attention, a lot of lap sitting and constant reassurance just to function.
2. She was about nine when the emotional dam inside her finally broke.
3. I was eating a bowl of Cheerios,” she remembers, “and I suddenly started shaking all over, feeling clammy and faint and utterly panicked and lapsing into palpitations– — I didn’t know what they were then.

I ran upstairs and started whirling around the bathroom, thinking that I was gonna die and telling my mother to call an ambulance and get a straitjacket — somehow I knew about straitjackets when I was nine. This episode lasted for half an hour, and Mom somehow subdued me and got me into bed.

• I think I cried it out.” The worry lump kept recurring, as did the stuttering, the anxiety and the agoraphobia.
• At age eleven, Carly saw her first psychiatrist.
• She would have to be excused from school each Tuesday and Thursday for her appointments, and the disruption in the classroom routine became a source of mortification that she feels undermined any benefits the experience might have offered.

It was the Fifties. Psychiatry was for misfits and malcontents. She was indelibly stigmatized. And it eventually corrupted her own image of herself. “There were teachers who explained to the kids that I was more complicated than the other children, as opposed to sicker,” she says.

Why did Carly break up with Simon?

Carly Simon and James Taylor were two of the defining voices of the 1970s, topping the charts with both their individual work and their duets. Yet while their music will leave a lasting legacy, the ‘golden’ couple’s romance lasted only a decade. The two singer-songwriters married in 1972, a year after their relationship began, and welcomed two children.

They divorced in 1983 and no longer speak. Regardless, if you ask Simon, their love story had a fateful beginning. In early 1971, she was walking down a street with her sister when she passed a newsstand holding a copy of TIME magazine, featuring a cartoon Taylor on its cover. “Without thinking, I blurted, with confidence: ‘I’m going to marry him’.

How did I know this? People have asked me over the years,” she recalled in her memoir Boys In The Trees. RELATED: How Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham’s split defined an era James Taylor and Carly Simon were one of the iconic couples of the 70s. (Getty) “The only answer I can come up with is he, James, was perfect for me in every way. If you believe in predestination or clairvoyance, that would be a terrific example of why you’re right to.” There was no standout ‘first meeting’ for Simon and Taylor; rather, the musicians came together after a series of fleeting encounters.

The pair had known of each other in their youth, as both their families spent the summer holidays on Martha’s Vineyard, an island in the US state of Massachusetts. Taylor recalled seeing Simon and her sister Lucy performing there in the mid-’60s, telling Rolling Stone he had found her “quite attractive”.

Noting he was 14 and she was 18 at the time, he added, “She was a bit less approachable than she was when I was 24.” After briefly crossing paths in the late ’60s, they met in April 1971 when Simon opened for Cat Stevens at Los Angeles rock club The Troubadour. “Without thinking, I blurted, with confidence: ‘I’m going to marry him’.” (Getty) They didn’t see one another for another seven months, but Simon said she frequently thought of Taylor and listened to his album Sweet Baby James every day. In November 1971, Simon was given tickets to see Taylor play at New York’s Carnegie Hall, and was invited to meet the singer during the intermission.

The ‘You’re So Vain’ singer made him an offer he evidently couldn’t resist. “If ever you want a home-cooked meal while you’re here in New York, I’d love to make lunch with you,” she declared, to which he replied, “What about tonight?” RELATED: John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s creative, controversial romance Simon kept her word.

to a point. Following the show and an after-party, they returned to her apartment and ate two loaves of Sara Lee banana cake — “perfect for our first meal together”. That late-night lunch, she told Harper’s Bazaar, “expanded into a life together”. One morning Simon suggested marriage to Taylor, who responded with hesitation: “There’s really no reason to get married. James Taylor and Carly Simon in 1977 (Getty) “I said, ‘Well, what’s happened between this morning and this afternoon?’ He said, ‘This afternoon it was my idea’.” Their wedding on November 3, 1972 was equally low-key — a small ceremony in Simon’s New York apartment.

Taylor was 26 and Simon 30. In a 2010 interview with ABC’s 7:30 Report, the ‘Fire and Rain’ singer admitted getting married at that age had been a “premature” move for him: “It amazes me that people get married in their twenties, I mean, what do you know?” The couple welcomed daughter Sarah, known as ‘Sally’, in 1974 and son Ben three years later, who both inherited the musical gene and became singer-songwriters.

Simon and Taylor’s marriage coincided with the peak of their fame and success, making them something of a musical ‘power couple’. Along with their individual work, the pair recorded a number of duets. However, behind the scenes things weren’t quite so harmonious. “You could fall in love, but if one of the people is addicted, it’s not going to work,” Taylor said. (Getty) One challenge was Taylor’s drug addiction, which had begun in his teenage years and continued throughout the marriage. In their joint Rolling Stone interview, Simon admitted she hadn’t understood “the extent to which James was addicted or needed drugs” when their relationship began.

“It just kind of confused me that there was a wall up between us and I didn’t know exactly what it was,” she said. In her memoir, she recalled him shooting up heroin in front of her one night; Taylor had reasoned that having her witness it might “take away the cat-and-mouse game” of his addiction. “I can’t have you and the habit at the same time.

I can’t. I’ve got to get rid of this, You have to watch me,” Simon quotes him saying. RELATED: How John F. Kennedy Jr found his ‘equal’ in Carolyn Bessette Speaking to Parade, Taylor said his addiction had ruined his earlier relationships, including his marriage to Simon.

1. You could fall in love, but if one of the people is addicted, it’s not going to work.
2. The whole person is simply not available,” he explained.
3. He echoed this in an interview with The Guardian : “I mean, you marry an addict, you just have no idea who this person is, and he doesn’t have any idea who he is either.” Yet Simon doesn’t believe it was the driving catalyst in their split.

“If the demons that were in him went someplace other than drugs, it would have been something other than drugs that would have been difficult to live with,” she told People, Taylor, pictured in 2018, has married twice since his divorce from Simon. (Getty) Their marriage was also tainted by infidelity on both sides. In fact, Simon claims Bianca Jagger, wife of Rolling Stones frontman Mick, called Taylor on the eve to inform him she’d been unfaithful.

1. She told James that he shouldn’t marry me because her husband and I were having an affair,” she wrote, admitting there had been an intense mutual attraction between them.
2. Taylor is said to have replied: “I’m sure that’s not true.
3. Carly has told me about it and it’s not what you think.
4. I trust my wife-to-be.

I trust Carly.” Later, Taylor had affairs with “a few other women”, eventually setting up a separate home with one of his dancers while still living with Simon and their children in New York. Simon claims she confronted her husband’s mistress, who she names ‘Evey’.

By 1981, the couple had separated and were no longer living together. Simon told an interviewer they had realised “things were no longer really mendable”, adding, “Hopefully we’ll stay friends.” That particular wish hasn’t exactly come true. The couple divorced in 1983 and aside from a reunion at Livestock 95, where they both performed, Simon claims her ex-husband no longer speaks to her for reasons she does not know.

“I would say that the relationship is very resolved from James’s point of view, which makes it clearly impossible for me to have a relationship with him because he’s put down an iron curtain,” she told Salon in 2015. Simon claims Taylor has ‘put down an iron curtain’ and no longer speaks to her. (Getty) “But it’s been very hard to raise children without having their father to talk to.” Simon claims Taylor’s disavowel of her goes so far that she’s “not allowed to be part of” certain political and musical events because he’s involved in them.

• I do love him, and I think he’s fascinating and brilliantly talented.
• And after all, how could I not love him, because he’s the father of my children,” she added.
• I guess some people can do it, but they have a better ability than I do to turn all my feelings off.” Taylor has been more cagey about their marriage, but he addressed Simon’s claim he refused to speak to her in an interview with The Telegraph,

“That’s sort of the point about divorce, that you go your own ways. I don’t know when she has determined that the relationship ended, but we communicated closely for years about the kids. Carly was important to me. But it did end.” Taylor also told 7:30 the marriage had been “kind of doomed”, admitting, “I was unfit to be a husband and father.”

Do any celebrities have agoraphobia?

Howard Hughes – As we have already discussed, Howard Hughes is possibly the most famous agoraphobic celebrity. Hughes had suffered from mental health issues for years but after a plane crash that almost killed him his anxiety increased. He isolated himself more and more, going so far as to tell his staff not to even look at him.

Has anyone recovered from agoraphobia?

Agoraphobia is a stressful phobic disorder that can take years to overcome. There are varying degrees of the illness. Some agoraphobics are so severe, they can’t leave their beds, while others only have a few days here and there where leaving the house seems too daunting a task.

Agoraphobics can be scared of traveling or being in open spaces. They can be scared of going out alone or of being made fun of. They may fear failure and embarrassment in the outside world, including the workforce. They can have strained relationships with loved ones and struggle to form new relationships.

They can have monetary problems, as most are unable to maintain a job or a career. Having had the disorder myself, I know it is not easy. Being stuck in fear can be just as debilitating as being physically paralyzed. It can feel like your room is a prison and the outside world is a place of torment and hell.

1. For me, every time I got close to the front door or the door to my bedroom, the overwhelming panic set in.
2. I felt as if I was dying, and that if I went anywhere, it would lead to mine or someone else’s destruction.
3. I feared someone might hurt me, as people have done in the past.
4. If I stayed in my room, I thought I could avoid the pain.

But, that was SO not true. By staying in my room, I avoided happiness, success and freedom, too. If I can overcome my agoraphobia for the most part and be in recover, you can, too. I now live a full life, unafraid to go out of my house most of the time.

Open up to those who understand. Knowing that some people have the same disorder you have and learning how they’ve dealt with it can be a big key to helping maintain your own recovery. Bring a book or magazine. Getting lost in another world can make this one not seem so harsh and hard to deal with. If you are focused on something else, you won’t be looking at people and imagining them staring at you or a disaster striking wherever you may be. Music. Carry headphones or devices with you to surround yourself with the calming presence of music and release tension and stress. Remember. You had a life before being an agoraphobic, and you can have a life while in recovery. Think back to all the times you had in the past when you weren’t sick or struggling with anxiety. If you were happy then, you can be happy again. It takes time and patience. Small acts of bravery every day can make a huge difference in getting to a happier place. A simple act of taking a shower can make a person feel more like facing the day. Exercise. Start with five minutes a day and work your way up. Even thirty minutes, three times a week should act as an anti-depressant and can make you see the world in a happier, less stressful way. Laugh. Set time every day to laugh. Whenever you find something that makes you laugh, do it for as long as you can. You can never laugh too much. Make a schedule. Write a list of eight or nine things to do today, such as cleaning, reading, starting a new hobby or continuing an old one. Stick to it. See a therapist and doctor regularly. Even if you need to get someone else to drive you. Or see if they will come to you. Forgive and forget. Let the guilt go, whether it is directed at yourself or others. Keep the past in the past. Take your medicine. When directed by a doctor, anti-anxiety and other medication can really take the edge off and help you live a normal life. Don’t compare yourself to others. We often compare our greatest weaknesses with others’ greatest strengths. Be fair to yourself. Only focus on how you’ve improved from one day to the next. Give your life meaning. Whether it is religion, a strong sense of spirituality, or a particular talent, if it makes you realize you have a purpose and a reason to exist, it should be a part of your life. Prayer or meditation can also be powerful tools to achieving peace and calm. Don’t isolate. Give someone a call or text. Have whatever interaction with others that you can. Learn to say no. The world’s not such a scary place if you know how to say no to drugs, food, sex or whatever may be pulling you down. Don’t let others make decisions for you. Practice and repeat the word, “No.” What you want is just as important as what another person wants. But what you need has to come first over what others need. You’re the one who has to live with your decisions. You belong in this world just as much as anyone else. You are more valuable out in the world. You can help someone in a similar situation or you can go out and learn that things are not nearly as bad as you made them out to be. Let your room and house become a safe place. It’s okay to have a safe place to lash out at the world and cry. But allow yourself only an hour a day to do this. The rest of the time is better spent trying to experience the world or learn that it’s not such a scary place. Judge less, love more. Judging yourself or others keeps you from seeing the good in yourself and everyone around you. Judging is just an opinion, and doesn’t make it fact or truth. To understand someone, you have to get to know them. Take time every day to increase your self-esteem. There are workbooks you can order online or books you can read. You can also join a focus group on self-esteem, even if it’s an online group. You have your own unique personality to offer this world that is different from anyone else’s. We need you. Get a pet. The one thing that helped the most in my recovery was to get a dog. She helped me face the world, especially as a service dog, and I was able to bring her wherever I went. Most of the time, I couldn’t leave the house without her.

Is agoraphobia a real disease?

Overview – Agoraphobia (ag-uh-ruh-FOE-be-uh) is a type of anxiety disorder. Agoraphobia involves fearing and avoiding places or situations that might cause panic and feelings of being trapped, helpless or embarrassed. You may fear an actual or upcoming situation.

• For example, you may fear using public transportation, being in open or enclosed spaces, standing in line, or being in a crowd.
• The anxiety is caused by fear that there’s no easy way to escape or get help if the anxiety gets overwhelming.
• You may avoid situations because of fears such as getting lost, falling, or having diarrhea and not being able to get to a bathroom.

Most people who have agoraphobia develop it after having one or more panic attacks, causing them to worry about having another attack. They then avoid the places where it may happen again. Agoraphobia often results in having a hard time feeling safe in any public place, especially where crowds gather and in locations that are not familiar.

Did Carly actually like Simon?

Characterisation – Carli has little romantic interest in Simon but uses his obvious infatuation to her own advantage even encouraging Simon to study a subject he is not doing at school purely to assist in her own revision. This will damage Simon’s chances of passing his own exams but he is evidently happier to assist informing Will that he “can always re-sit”.

• Simon is quite stricken and thinking about her and trying to be near her occupies much of his time.
• He commits several embarrassing faux pas while pursuing her including declaring his love in a huge painted love-heart on her parent’s driveway, being drunk and vomiting profusely over Carli’s kitchen and younger brother and sneaking into her house at night.

This latter causing upset between the two families with Simon’s own father thinking Simon might be harbouring paedophile tendencies towards her little brother (he mistook the room for Carli’s) and her father telephoning Simon to inform him that if he goes near their house again, he’s “gonna fuck up” – a message conveyed to a vomiting, hung-over Simon by his father.

Carli is generally friendly towards Simon much of the time but this is purely platonic. She is often accompanied by friends (particularly Rachael) when Simon interacts with her and due to Simon’s infatuation, he usually makes a complete idiot of himself. Her friends are often seen ridiculing Simon in front of her and question her judgement in having anything to do with him.

In the first episode, Carli engages Simon in conversation and as she leans forward to smell his aftershave, he glimpses her cleavage and bra through the open neck of her shirt and becomes aroused. Jay immediately latches on to this fact and publicly announces it to the other pupils in the common room leading to him to be given the nickname of “boner”.

Carli has a much older boyfriend who owns a car and only when they split up briefly does Simon finally get the intimate moment with her he has dreamed of. Carli crushes Simon later that same day by announcing that she has reconciled with her boyfriend – although early in the movie, it is clear they have started dating again and possibly for some time.

Simon states it has contributed to the best year of his life – at which point he is crushed once more as Carli dumps him again. Carli does not appear to be held in such high regard by the other three boys (especially Will and Jay ) and is often referred to in derogatory terms, much to Simon’s annoyance.

• Simon being dumped at the end of school prompts them all to go on a “lad’s holiday” so Simon can get over her.
• They all agree but it ends up being largely overshadowed by Simon’s obsessing about Carli which is a major theme throughout the movie.
• It is not helped by Neil’s poor planning which has resulted in them going on holiday to the same place as Carli and Rachael.

Even though Simon has been affected by his split with Carli, she seems oblivious and proceeds to use him in one of the closing scenes to make James jealous by kissing him passionately, all the time with her eyes on James to gauge his reaction and muttering to herself “that should do it”.

While trying to use Simon in further goading, he finally sees his feelings have little value to Carli and decides to leave and meet up with Lucy, The inference is that Carli will no longer figure emotionally in Simon’s life (despite them inevitably meeting through family ties) and she has lost her hold over him.

Though Carli’s surname D’Amato is of Italian origin, she, however, is of full English background.

When did Carly Simon come out?

Carly Simon Carly Simon’s body of work encompasses a significantly wide spectrum of activity. In addition to having recorded 22 concept albums of her own compositions, she has composed four film scores, including Heartburn, This Is My Life, Postcards from the Edge and Working Girl, for which she won a Grammy, a Golden Globe Award and an Oscar.

Simon has also written four successful children’s books for Doubleday, including her most recent, “The Nighttime Chauffeur.” The most far-reaching of her accomplishments is the opera, “Romulus Hunt,” for which she was commissioned jointly by The Metropolitan Opera Guild and The Kennedy Center. The co-production was performed both in New York and Washington.

Referring to the opera, a recent review in CD Magazine states, “Here is a genuinely beloved artist, with years of popularity, with a vast public that American opera composers would kill for, bringing that public to opera with an ease few composers can match.” Carly Simon was born in New York City, the third of four children born to Richard and Andrea Simon.

1. Richard Simon, the founder of Simon and Schuster, was also a pianist and Andrea Simon was a civil-rights activist as well as a singer.
2. All four children were raised in an atmosphere conducive to self-expression.
3. All three girls became musicians: Joanna, the eldest, a prominent opera singer and television personality; Lucy a two-time Grammy winner for her children’s album; Peter, the only son in the Simon family, is a successful photographer.

Lucy and Carly Simon, while enrolled in Sarah Lawrence College, sang professionally for three years as The Simon Sisters, and scored a hit single record of Lucy’s song, “Winkin’, Blinkin’ and Nod,” on Kapp Records. When Lucy married, Carly began singing and writing on her own.

Her debut album, Carly Simon on Elektra Records, was released in 1971 and included the single, “That’s the Way I’ve Always Heard It Should Be.” The album resulted in her first Grammy for “Best New Artist.” Following this release came an unbroken string of songs, all of which were to become classics with memorable but quirky melodies and personal, literate lyrics.

The list includes songs like “Anticipation,” “You’re So Vain,” “Loving You Is the Right Thing To Do,” “Haven’t Got Time for the Pain,” “Mockingbird” (with James Taylor), “Jesse,” “Coming Around Again,” “Give Me All Night,” “The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of’ and “Let the River Run (Theme from Working Girl ),” among others.

Because Simon grew up in a household where show music and jazz was played along with classical, pop and folk, she wanted to do an album of her own favorite standards. The result was 1981’s Torch, The album proved to be a sleeper and took Warner Bros. Records, to whom she was signed at the time, totally by surprise.

Because of her acceptance in this genre, she convinced Clive Davis, president of Arista Records to do another jazz/standard album, My Romance, released in 1990. An HBO Special was produced and aired in conjunction with the album. One of the songs from this collection, “In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning,” was featured in the smash soundtrack album for the film, Sleepless in Seattle,

1. On Epic Records.
2. During the 1990’s, all of Simon’s albums have been released on Arista, with the exception of the “This Is My Life” soundtrack on Quest/Reprise and “Romulus Hunt,” which will appear on Angel.
3. She is also represented on the current Frank Sinatra Duets album, with two wonderful performances, “In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning” and “Guess I’ll Hang My Tears Out to Dry.” She also recorded a song for the album of music by The Gershwins, produced by George Martin.

Carly Simon is married to writer James Hart, and has two children, Sally and Ben by her former husband,, : Carly Simon

How rare is agoraphobia?

Epidemiology – Anxiety disorders, encompassing generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and agoraphobia, are highly prevalent in the general population. There is some disparity in estimates for the prevalence of agoraphobia as it has only recently received its own diagnostic criteria rather than as a qualifier for panic disorder.

• According to the DSM-5, agoraphobia is present in approximately 1.7% of the general population.
• It further states that most cases of agoraphobia present before the age of 35.
• There is an increase in the risk of developing agoraphobia in late adolescence and early adulthood, with the overall average age at onset being 17 years.

The National Institute of Mental Health estimates that the lifetime prevalence of agoraphobia is 1.3%, with an annual incidence rate of 0.9%. Yearly prevalence rates of agoraphobia are similar between males (0.8%) and females (0.9%).

Can you beat agoraphobia?

Coping and support – Living with agoraphobia can make life difficult and very limiting. Professional treatment can help you overcome this condition or manage it well so that you don’t become a prisoner to your fears. You also can take these steps to cope and care for yourself:

Follow your treatment plan. Keep therapy appointments. Talk regularly with your therapist. Practice and use skills learned in therapy. And take any medicines as directed. Try not to avoid feared situations. It can be hard to go to places or be in situations that make you uncomfortable or that bring on symptoms of anxiety. But routinely practicing going to more and more places can make them less frightening and lower your anxiety. Family, friends and your therapist can help you work on this. Learn calming skills. Working with your therapist, you can learn how to calm and soothe yourself. Meditation, yoga, massage and visualization are simple relaxation techniques that also may help. Practice these techniques when you aren’t anxious or worried, and then put them into action during stressful situations. Avoid alcohol and recreational drugs. Also limit or don’t have caffeine. These substances can worsen your panic or anxiety symptoms. Take care of yourself. Get enough sleep, be physically active every day, and eat a healthy diet, including lots of vegetables and fruits. Join a support group. Joining a support group for people with anxiety disorders can help you connect with others facing similar challenges and share experiences.

3. Don’t Trivialize the Person’s Feelings and Experiences – When someone has anxiety or panic disorder and they have friends and loved ones who don’t live with a similar condition, it can be easy to trivialize it or marginalize someone and the symptoms they are feeling.

We often hear people with mental health disorders being told to “get over it” or to “toughen up.” This isn’t an effective approach and it can make the situation much more traumatic and frustrating for someone with agoraphobia. Agoraphobia symptoms aren’t in the control of someone with the disorder and it’s not a weakness or a personal failure.

Who covered Carly Simon at Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

Carly Simon has been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as part of its class of 2022, The songwriter was originally scheduled to perform at the awards ceremony Saturday night (November 5), but was unable to attend the ceremony due to the recent death of her sisters,

The show continued in her absence, with Sara Bareilles reading an acceptance letter written by Simon, and Olivia Rodrigo performing Simon’s hit “You’re So Vain.” Watch it happen below. During her induction speech, Bareilles described Simon’s “fierce intelligence, soulful honesty and vulnerability,” as The Los Angeles Times reports.

She added: “The elegance of her melodies speaks to the complexity of the emotions and experiences she writes.” Taylor Swift also made a brief appearance in a video montage celebrating Simon, where, according to Billboard, she described “You’re So Vain” as “the best song that’s ever been written.” “That is the best way anyone has addressed a breakup, it’s amazing,” she reportedly said.

Simon’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nomination was announced back in February ; she was officially inducted into the organization in May alongside other acts including Eminem, Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie, Eurythmics, Duran Duran, and Pat Benatar. Parton initially declined the nomination —even as the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame proceeded with the nomination anyway.

What disability does Carly Simon have?

Copy the code below to embed the WBUR audio player on your site – Resume Few people know that Grammy award-winning musician Carly Simon struggled with dyslexia as a child. Here she is performing in California in 2012. (Frank Micelotta/Invsion/AP) Few parents are thrilled by the news that their child has dyslexia. But increasingly, families are viewing the language processing disorder in a new light – not as a disability, but simply as a different way of perceiving the world.

Indeed in some families, the dyslexic brain is viewed as having distinct advantages, One celebrated Martha’s Vineyard family is trying to spread the word that a diagnosis of dyslexia doesn’t spell doom; on the contrary, it can lead to more creativity and out-of-the-box thinking. Carly Simon, the Grammy award-winning musician, is now 70.

But few people know that the accomplished singer and songwriter struggled with dyslexia, and a stutter, as a child. “Being embarrassed at school is a terrible thing.when your peers are making fun of you because they can’t understand what wonderful whimsy your mind may be making up and going through,” she said recently. Carly Simon in West Tisbury on a recent summer day (Rachel Zimmerman/WBUR) ‘Welcome To The Cool Club’ Still, Simon believes her dyslexia has a direct influence on how she makes music. She says her hit song ” Anticipation,” for instance, “came down from the universe into my head and then out my mouth, so it bypassed the mind.” These days, Simon lives in a lush compound on Martha’s Vineyard, where family members often spend the summer.

Dyslexia tends to run in families, and it runs in Simon’s. Her 38-year-old son Ben, a musician, has dyslexia. So does her 41-year-old daughter, Sally, an artist. But the family wants to show their dyslexia can be a positive force — a challenge, absolutely, but also a catalyst for new ways of framing the world or problem-solving that might lead a child to become a famous artist or a successful entrepreneur.

Simon’s daughter Sally Taylor (whose father is musician James Taylor) vividly recalls the day, at age 10, when she learned she had dyslexia: She anxiously walked home with the diagnosis scrawled on a piece of paper in her hand. “I just felt as though it was somehow the end of the world,” Taylor said in an interview. Sally Taylor, the daughter of Carly Simon and James Taylor, describes herself as “an artist, mother, wife and dyslexic.” (Courtesy of the family) Simon speaks of her daughter’s struggles at school. “I remember Sally reading ‘A Tree Grows in Brooklyn,’ ” Simon said.

“She couldn’t read enough pages to get the assignment.she’d cry and feel different and feel stupid.” Sally Taylor’s husband, Dean Bragonier, also dyslexic, was teased mercilessly in middle school for his painfully slow reading. Now, he hopes to make things better for other kids with the disorder. Bragonier is swimming around Martha’s Vineyard — 50 nautical miles over several weeks – to raise money for his nonprofit, called NoticeAbility,

The end result will be a set of educational tools for middle school-aged kids with dyslexia. It’s an online, project-based curricula that doesn’t replace traditional classroom learning but seeks to enhance it, allowing each child to focus on one of four specific areas that they might be drawn to: entrepreneurial leadership, engineering, architecture and the arts.

1. In general, these are realms that some dyslexics have excelled at: think Whoopi Goldberg or cellphone pioneer Craig McCaw,
2. Sharks, And A Cause Bragonier’s Vineyard swim began July 11 at State Beach.
3. Since then, he’s braved bad weather, riptides and the threat of sharks.
4. He also takes some rest days.) The goal is to raise awareness, and $135,000, by the end of the swim, on Aug.16.

Bragonier says the idea for the nonprofit emerged from his own impatience: With all the groundbreaking research emerging on dyslexia and learning disorders, he said, very little of it has trickled down into the classroom. “I live in Cambridge,” he said. Sally Taylor’s husband, Dean Bragonier, is founder of the nonprofit NoticeAblilty. He’s swimming around Martha’s Vineyard to raise awareness and money for the nonprofit. (Courtesy of Mark Allen Lovewell) Bragonier isn’t offering new ways to teach basic reading to young children with dyslexia.

1. His target is seventh and eighth graders: “I’m focused.on reaching those individuals the moment they’ve emerged from remedial reading and what they’ve gotten is six or seven years worth of negative,
2. ‘You’re the dumb kid holding up the class,’ ” he said.
3. Now we’re saying to them, before.your personality is solidified, we are going to introduce you to something that you are predisposed to be exceptional at.” John Gabrieli, a neuroscientist at MIT, studies the brains of children with dyslexia.

Gabrieli says there is solid evidence that people with dyslexia can perform above average on some spatial and visual perception tasks. Of course, not every kid with dyslexia will become a successful artist or entrepreneur, but Gabrieli agrees, it makes sense that if there are ways to learn that are less reading-dependent, then that would benefit dyslexic children.

1. Build Sandcastles On Lambert’s Cove beach in West Tisbury, Simon attracts some attention from the locals: Now a grandmother, she still has an unmistakable magnetism.
2. Wearing a white cotton top and flowing pants, she came out on sultry afternoon to cheer on her son-in-law as he continued his swim around the Vineyard.

She’s lending her support while trumpeting the message that children with dyslexia need not feel inadequate. “I would say make sure there’s something else.you feel really good about yourself,” she said. “If you love to swim, if you can draw, if you can do music, if you can build sandcastles.anything else that makes you feel good about the way you’re operating.” After we chatted, she indulged me, singing the opening of “Anticipation”: “We can never know about the days to come, but we think about them anyway, and I wonder if I’m really with you now or just chasing after some finer day.” As Simon sang on the beach, Bragonier prepared to go offshore.
