I know someone who is dyslexic, it does effect his writing and reading skills but he is very sharp verbally and has good common sense. Unless you asked him to read and write you would have no idea.

I don't know anyone else with this condition so couldn't tell you if he is an exception but I have never thought dyslexia reduces general intelligence like downs would for example.
