Larry means so much to me I learned how to play drums threw him. I was a kid I lived and breathed U2 and mimic Larry. I wanted to be like him so bad he's definitely a great musican
I STILL live and breathe U2 It all started in Larry's kitchen Ive been a megafan since 88 - when I saw rattle and him on the big screen So awesome seeing Larry like this
I absolutely love Larry mullen...how can you not? Such a awesome drummer. I'm adhd...when I was young I could play basketball at a remotely hi level and drumming interest ed me and humbled me. I love both activities. I remember being at the Forman school , Litchfield Connecticut/ school for learning disabilities ( good bless their hearts) ..in 1994 my junior year i listen to u2 the joshua tree from start to finish..then proceed to listen to their older stuff. The song 40 is amazing...thank God for u2 and L arry
I am a certified Orton Gillingham therapist practitioner thank you so much for creating the school. I fought for my son throughout his schooling and even college.
This is so special to me on many levels. I’ve been a U2 fan since 1984 when The Unforgettable Fire came out. Bono gets all the spotlight but, Larry has always been my favorite. His stoicism both on stage and off always added a bit of mystery to his aura. Whenever the band was interviewed, Bono being the over the top personality and frontman that he is had no difficulty serving as the band’s spokesperson. Larry especially was always very withdrawn, quiet and said little if anything. Many years later I learned that Larry was very self-conscious of his accent, having been told by many people how difficult it was to understand him. He really shines here. Thank you to Kelly for having him on and sharing this.
Thank you Larry for sharing your story of your son, also the parents at the show as well. I'm the father of a child with disabilities. Each day has it's challenges but I try to cherish the good days and moments 💖💛💙 🫶🏼. Also U2 fan since late 80's🥁
It’s SOOOO good to see him, and he looks great!!! Can’t wait to see the boys back in the studio. It’s always good to hear him talk in general but really heartening to see him open up about this subject. I bet his son’s as awesome as he is. We don’t always have difference in levels of intelligence, we are just differently intelligent. But, empathy can get us all there. “We are One, but we are not the same.” ❤
Thank you so much, Larry, for being such an incredible advocate for your son and for neurodiverse individuals everywhere. It honestly brings up so many emotions for me, especially as a longtime fan of the band since the '90s, and as someone who's autistic and dyslexic myself. Your support means the world
I've been a fan of U2 for over thirty years. I, like most fans, understand it'd take a special cause for Larry to be so vocal about. Having said that he did support the end of estigma towards having HIV in the past.
I have 3 children ... I fought for them at school. They all had extra help. They are 45, 41, 39. They are all great adults. I love in Northern California. So kids do need help with dyslexia.
My journey started back in 1980s in Ireland. I was assessed in the usa, in california, my late dad, went over there in 1983, he was Irish but he was us citizen fton 1952 onwards. I live with both dyspraxia and dyscalculia. Support and awareness was non existent. I don't dyslexia. So I didn't get any support at all. That was my mothers responsibility according to the teachers and the education system. The stress ended up killing her. She died of cancer at the age of 64. My dad was a consultant in Irish hospital medicine. We didn't see all that much. Both my brother and I were in school all week long. He would come home in the evening. Then it would be home work time but that got delayed due mh dyscalculia. I would go into school with my homework half done for primary school. I walked away from maths at the end of fourth after being isolated from the rest of the class. I went down the exemption route and in 5th year I walked out of maths class and never went back. Thank you larry mullen for being the first Irish celebrity to talk about learning disabilities. Never in a million did I think it would be him. I have been writing about my learning journey for the past 6 years.
@ it is hard. My level of math understanding ended in the fourth grade. I didn’t realize that having dyscalculia affected so many other areas of my life. I didn’t get my drivers license right away because I couldn’t figure out the dimensions to park between two other cars. I couldn’t have a little job after school because I couldn’t work a cash register when you had to figure out the change yourself. It is good now that they have better resources today. It is better for my child with her ADHD. Or for any other neurodivergent condition.
Kelly is so good in these type of interviews. It's so refreshing how she brings focus to important, everyday topics, making them just as engaging as the celebrity interviews. 🌟💬 More please ❤
Larry, and all these Moms, Thank You from my heart for sharing how you are being present to this deeply personal and transformational process. This is phenomenal.❤🎉
I went through the NY Public School System and I’m also dyslexic. Math and I don’t get along. I couldn’t learn it and the school system quit trying to teach me it. Instead of math class, I got put into extra gym, art and music classes. To this day I can only do very basic math.
I have trained in multisensory reading techniques and Wilson Reading. If you have it in public school, it's still not enough. Kids need it in a specialized school, especially if they have a strong degree of it. It was a lot of work to train for this and although I don't use it anymore I can tell you many kids are left behind unless they are set up for the right program. On average, it can cost over 7K a year in computer programs alone.
Bravo Jr!! at 62 i'm convinced i've always been dyslexic, not sure though. My issue is I have/had no problems reading but cannot put it on paper, I cant spell essentially. Thanks all!
Hope Larry's back is better and he can drum again, hope his son got help with dyslexia and that Larry brings any of the good American ideas back to a literacy academy in Dublin. Such a private guy this must really matter to him.
Calculexia is the type with confusing numbers. I have calculexia and I am on the dyslexic spectrum. So happy that there is finally a movement to serve kids that have dyslexia, because the ones with calculexia will not be left behind.
I believe Larry himself has Calculexia (which my autocorrect says should be CALCULUS 😮)God speed, Larry BACK to the live shows of U2. And God speed these Moms and kids to great heights!
Dyscalculia? I've had it in my brain that I have "calculexia" (I also have dyslexia) and no one ever corrected me. Being respectfully corrected really helps us to adjust. Thanks to all the people that are participating in the efforts for kids with these challenging conditions. Some of the most creative and intelligent people have these conditions. But we are misunderstood and treated as if we are stupid. Even Albert Einstein had a school teacher who told his father that Albert was an idiot who would never amount to anything.
Im 62 have had learning disabilities and dyscalcialaya dyslexia too. I struggle with spelling and use calculator for math. Been embarrassed my whole 55 years about it.
Yes! That is awesome Larry. It will help so many people. BTW, Kelly, would you please do us a favor and not talk over your guests? It really made me tense up, I can't imagine how your guests feel.
Calculexia is what I was told that I have, as well as, dyslexia. But I don't get my letters backwards anymore. Like the numbers and directions, I also switch letters, words, homonyms and antonyms.
Seeing a private Larry opening up about something so personal. Bravo.
Indeed
This is the most I've ever heard Larry speak......I love it. So full of life.
Larry no one blames you for valueing your family's privacy. But thank you for sharing your experiences and helping others.
Bravo, Larry. Thank you for shining your spotlight on this most worthy cause. God Bless.❤
Larry means so much to me I learned how to play drums threw him. I was a kid I lived and breathed U2 and mimic Larry. I wanted to be like him so bad he's definitely a great musican
I STILL live and breathe U2
It all started in Larry's kitchen
Ive been a megafan since 88
- when I saw rattle and him on the big screen
So awesome seeing Larry like this
@Truckerkris32 dude just looks so cool...ok that's enough man love there
Hard to believe he’s 64 this year. He looks amazing!
You can tell he had some work done on his face.
@@jeshkamlike where?
@@RowenMyBoat His face?
@@RowenMyBoatBotox
@@jeshkamI was asking like specifically where on his face.

I'm a fan since the 1990s, because in the early 80s I was a baby, so I won't remember much.
you are spot on. Larry and Adam are often "in the background" to Edge & Bono.
Looking great Larry!!! Cant wait for U2 Tour 2026!!
Great to see Larry bring this to forefront.
Lots of people are dyslexic
Hopefully this doc helps people understand it better. Esp with kids
This is fucking HUGE. He's FAMOUSLY private. I love this dude
Way to go, Larry!

I have loved U2 and Larry since I was 14 which was a long time ago. Bless him for being a part of this project.
The man never ages. ❤
I agree.
Met him in November in Dublin, absolutely lovely guy ❤
It’s SOOOO good to see him, and he looks great!!! Can’t wait to see the boys back in the studio.

Me too! I love Larry! He's so handsome!! It's good to hear him talk!!
Thank you Larry.
Bless these women, and the work you're doing! 🙏🏽
Larry returns. Coolest man in rock. Best drummer in the world....

Larry looks great!!! I hope he’s doing as good as he looks. Was worried about him. Can’t wait till he’s back on the drums!!
He is back in sessions as they work through their next project 👏👏
@@pryan9892 that’s awesome to hear!!
Hell yeh ! Love to hear him on btbs again....God make it happen....
That man is in great nick and to hear his Dublin accent is deadly.
Wow! In tears watching this. Kelly brings it all together so beautifully. Love seeing everyone share. So brave❤❤❤
That is awesome all the help for these children…😊
I have dyscalculia and I wish they had more resources for me back in the day. Now thankfully they have better resources for my daughter who has ADHD.
Me too age 62
Me too. I'm 46 and only learned about dyscalculia at the age of 44.
My journey started back in 1980s in Ireland. I was assessed in the usa, in california, my late dad, went over there in 1983, he was Irish but he was us citizen fton 1952 onwards.

I have it also all the anxiety and being mocked all those days in school then getting beaten by my dad after school, it really ruined my life.
Kelly is so good in these type of interviews. It's so refreshing how she brings focus to important, everyday topics, making them just as engaging as the celebrity interviews. 🌟💬 More please ❤
Always the most handsome member of U2
I agree 100%❤
Bravo Larry!! Been a fan of you and your lads since Boy!!
Larry is the most private out of the Band, so this issue must have really hit home for him and he is out there talking about it
Larry, and all these Moms, Thank You from my heart for sharing how you are being present to this deeply personal and transformational process. This is phenomenal.❤🎉

the man who does not age!! Nice to see him back and specially for this matter!
I can’t believe he’s 63. He looks 20 years younger.
I love Larry! I had no idea he was on with Kelly!!! I can't believe I missed him!

Where sanity and kindness rises to the top during an era of maga right is wrong and wrong is right. Thank you.
Bravo I am so glad Larry and other parents have u. I have a learning disablty read comp ty for this
Damn! Larry is aging well.
Yes
Thank you Kelly
Great interview
Does anyone know what that is on Larry's right shoulder? Just wondering if it's orthopedic related or fashion related.
Most likely orthopedic as Larry has had multiple corrective surgeries to repair the damage from 40 years of drumming.
@@mariofrias2227Nope. It’s fashion related. There’s another response in here somewhere that actually shows where you can get the shirt, strap and all.
Oh how I love this man!
This is a great idea, although as a mom with children that have math dyslexia it would be great if that got a platform/ program as well
Calculexia is the type with confusing numbers. I have calculexia and I am on the dyslexic spectrum. So happy that there is finally a movement to serve kids that have dyslexia, because the ones with calculexia will not be left behind.
I believe Larry himself has Calculexia (which my autocorrect says should be CALCULUS 😮)God speed, Larry BACK to the live shows of U2. And God speed these Moms and kids to great heights!
Larry's turned into Claude Van Damme !!
I wish Larry talked about how he feels? Or maybe 1-2 U2 questions
Larry probably told show producers he didn’t want to talk about anything U2 related so that the focus would be on the documentary.
My crush has awakened from it's slumber 🥰
Dyscalculia? I've had it in my brain that I have "calculexia" (I also have dyslexia) and no one ever corrected me. Being respectfully corrected really helps us to adjust.

Larry is under no pressure in life
U2 Drummer Larry Mullen Jr. Opens Up About Parenting A Child With Dyslexia & 'Left Behind' Doc
It's hard. I couldn't learn when I was younger and I have a masters degree.
Yes! That is awesome Larry. It will help so many people.
BTW, Kelly, would you please do us a favor and not talk over your guests? It really made me tense up, I can't imagine how your guests feel.
Hooray
Who is dyslexic? Remy or River?
River
More than seven years and counting since the last album😵💫
That's not what this is about pal.
So do you realize the topic of the discussion?
@@soeffingwhat right , it’s never about new music is it
@@treysean14 it’s about anything but new music with these bums
Great. I'm maybe a bit that way. Any thoughts on being born in the 70s? Larry? Surely man-up?
Let the man talk, stop interrupting
Huh? 6 decades?? He didn’t start playing when he was 4? He’s awesome but let’s not over do it.
He actually started to learn the drums when he was about 9 years old.
@ ok so 50 years. Does he own a bar in upstate NY? Or was that the Edge?
Im from Dublin, Bonos an oddball, nobody really likes him here, the rest of the lads are great though.
The rest of the lads thought the same about you. Great to hear your comments concerning dyslexia.
@@markzappasodi Most people in Ireland think DNortRyan is right
@ Not at all, míle buíochas
Larry gets botox injections around his forehead
Thank you, Captain Obvious.
Kelly got skinny, what do you think she stopped munching on Donuts or Ozempic?
She talks too much. Take break
Larry apparently recently found out he has a form of dyslexia called Dycalculia..whete he is not able to (finds it hard to) count properly.
Calculexia is what I was told that I have, as well as, dyslexia. But I don't get my letters backwards anymore. Like the numbers and directions, I also switch letters, words, homonyms and antonyms.
KELLY: Please stop talking over your guests...It's not a good thing...
She's not??
She's not, well not in this interview anyway.
She starts talking before the guests finish their sentences.
he needs to start a band with richie sambora
He’s still in U2
He needs to start a band with Weird Al Yankovic.....
