Dyslexia, unlike ADD/HD DOES exist. How do I know? I've had it all my life.
My case mostly manifests with numbers; for instance, I see the number "57" written down as "75".
So what do I do about it? I always check my math TWICE. No psycotropic drugs or special ed classes required.
The real shame is that is is yet another excuse for psychobabble "victimhood".

But the suggestion has angered many dyslexic people and dyslexia organisations, who say the argument is damaging and unhelpful. Dammit, I want to be a victim!

The BBC never makes sense. Split it up into 5 or 6 parts and let those who pay the 'TV tax' decide which channel[s] to send their portion to.

Obviously these jerks have never dealt with it 1st hand.
I used to sell auto parts and when we changed over to computer inventory control I was screwing up hourly with the new part #'s, sometimes I would just get 1 or 2 digits swapped and other times I would flip the whole # backwards. It didn't help that we also went from Alphanumeric to numeric at the same time.

As an English and a reading instructor, I dealt with adults with poor reading skills and those with dyslexia. You can tell the difference.
It's a real problem for some people. You have to use coping strategies (and there are a number of them, like using blue paper, which seems to help).
A poor reader can improve his reading without those strategies, by working on rate, vocabulary and analytical reading skills. It's not that hard to teach.
This won't improve the real problems a dyslexic is having decoding words. It's not the same problem. I know dyslexics who have Ph.Ds - they still struggle with texts. They've learned ways to cope.

If you owned a herd of cattle, say a thousand head, and the local vet after inspecting your herd proclaimed that one out of every ten had a genetic disability, you would sell the entire herd to a feed lot and give up ranching!
1 in 10 Britons????? How the hell do these people even exist?????? Sounds like the entire cast from "Airplane"!

Ann Coulter has pretty much been saying the same thing for years (i.e., dismissing dyslexia as a convenient cover for "rich parents of dumb kids").
