Dyslexia PSA 1991 Jed The Crybaby

Dyslexia, also known as reading disorder, is characterized by trouble with reading despite normal intelligence.[2][3] Different people are affected to varying degrees.[4] Problems may include difficulties in spelling words, reading quickly, writing words, "sounding out" words in the head, pronouncing words when reading aloud and understanding what one reads.[4][5] Often these difficulties are first noticed at school.[6] When someone who previously could read loses their ability, it is known as alexia.[4] The difficulties are involuntary and people with this disorder have a normal desire to learn.[4]
Dyslexia is believed to be caused by both genetic and environmental factors.[6] Some cases run in families.[4] It often occurs in people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and is associated with similar difficulties with numbers.[6] It may begin in adulthood as the result of a traumatic brain injury, stroke, or dementia.[2] The underlying mechanisms of dyslexia are problems within the brain's language processing.[4] Dyslexia is diagnosed through a series of tests of memory, spelling, vision, and reading skills.[7] Dyslexia is separate from reading difficulties caused by hearing or vision problems or by insufficient teaching.[6]
Treatment involves adjusting teaching methods to meet the person's needs.[2] While not curing the underlying problem, it may decrease the degree of symptoms.[8] Treatments targeting vision are not effective.[9] Dyslexia is the most common learning disability and occurs in all areas of the world.[6][10] It affects 3–7% of the population;[6][11] however, up to 20% may have some degree of symptoms.[12] While dyslexia is more often diagnosed in men,[6] it has been suggested that it affects men and women equally.[10] Some believe that dyslexia should be best considered as a different way of learning, with both benefits and downsides.[13
