There is a perception that people with Dyslexia or other underlying learning disorders are slow, but in fact they can be on the higher levels of intelligence, very creative but have weak social skills.. And each person displays it differently.
I find it very disturbing watching how Freddie is being treated as I have seen my children been bullied and unable to deal with it.
You may not agree with me, but I feel its important to say as I am aware of how such a person may be misunderstood.
When I watched it with my child last night we both shed a tear because we've been there.

Did you 
It's ok, I'm acting a prick, just blame it on some made up mental disorder.

All I can add to this post (since I started it) is that Dyslexia is not all about Reading and Writing.
There are different types of Learning Disorder, and each child suffers differently.
Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Hearing, Sight, Aspergers, Autism.
I am familiar with Dyslexia and Dyspraxia and the latter does effect the personality and social skills, (similar to the common term "Eccentric or odd".) Dyspraxia is also know as "the clumsy child syndrome".
These people process information differently and it takes them longer to respond, you can see this with Freddie all the time.
