The majority of people with dyslexia aren't illiterate, though. It's just tougher for us to read due to visual processing issues. Some dyslexics are put off reading for life by teachers and tutors who almost give up on them, but things are SO much better these days. Every library I've been to for the past 10 years, there are reading aids, there's tables with special lighting or filters you can put the book under, even little bookmarks that function as a colour filter for people who find it difficult to read text on a white page.

I have dyslexia and I got so much tutoring as a kid that it barely bothers me at all these days. I mean, I can't do maths for shit and scotopic sensitivity (the letters jumbling) is a pain in the ass on some days, but I have workarounds and I try to read everything I can.

yeah, the assumption that "doesn't read" equals "dyslexia" is wrong, but implying that everyone who has dyslexia is illiterate and "can't read" is obviously wrong as well.

thanks for the insight.
