Ryden was diagnosed as dyslexic in 1969, and then examined by an educational psychologist who reported an IQ rating of well above average. He could not gain entrance to university in the United Kingdom because of his English grades, but was fortunate enough to go to a university in the United States of America where he obtained a B.Sc in Photography and Graphics, graduating with honours. He is now a developer in Colorado, and also gives lectures on dyslexia.
