No it explains nothing, we know what dyslexia is... Doesn't at all explain why anybody would generally be stupid because they have trouble with grammar, spelling and reading. It's like you 'omg but she's dyslexic' people are trying to brand dyslexic people as thick just to make Katie H etc. look bad for calling a dyslexic person thick.

Dyslexia isnt just about grammar spelling and reading though....

I'm talking about people mocking her for not knowing the alphabet and things like that, that is down to her dyslexia.

No but dyslexia doesn't make somebody unintelligent. I haven't heard a comment in the house yet that has attacked something she can't help. Not that I agree with calling her thick but if the cap fits.

Not you, but I have seen a few posts on here the last couple of days that have been.

She has been called 'slow', dyslexia can cause reaction to be slower in some people...

She has been called 'thick' because of the way she speaks and according to Callum for not realising straight away whats going on when things are happening in the house, another classic sign of adult dyslexia.

Amy, my nephew has it, when he was younger he had the problems with the writing/reading side of things but funnily enough that went as he got older, he is a very intelligent person but sometimes his reactions are slower than normal, not always but sometimes.

You will very rarely find 2 people that suffer from dyslexia that will have the exact same symptoms.

I think Luisa was spot on, during BOTS.
She said she doesn't understand why Alicia is ridiculed, as she can't afford to send her child to school, and takes her own time to help her and teach, even though she isn't exactly the most intelligent person.

She then made a spot on point about how mothers would usually just dismiss the problem and leave their children uneducated.

Who's said that people with Dyslexia are thick? It's just the reason why Alicia takes longer to process things is because of her Dyslexia, the reason why I can verify this is because I have a Cousin who's Dyslexic and he takes a while to process things, and any letters or numbers are all back to front and jumbled up, but his very intelligent and definitely runs rings around me and most of the family except for probably my other Cousin.

Also, not everyone does know what dyslexia is, especially judging by some of the posts I have seen of late.
