Milano suffers from Dyslexia.In an interview in 2004, Milano explained how she deals with the disorder:

“ "I've stumbled over words while reading from TelePrompTers. Sir John Gielgud, whom I worked with on The Canterville Ghost years ago, gave me great advice. When I asked how he memorized his monologues, he said, 'I write them down'. I use that method to this day. It not only familiarizes me with the words, it makes them my own". ”
