"All dyslexics are not alike."

I'm sure that some are alike for the purpose of the discussion at hand. But it is true that not all dyslexics are alike, and not all writers are alike. ;-)

Is an interesting read, but why didn’t they test people who were Dyslexic in Chinese who now also spoke English, and English-speaking dyslexics who now speak Chinese? Is it not possible that a dyslexic might not be dyslexic in the other language?

“So if you are dyslexic in one language, would you be dyslexic in the other?”

What an exchange program THAT would be...
Seriously now, don’t they know? Couldn’t they find anyone bilingual in Chinese and English, and dyslexic?

Just another of those "grasp of the obvious" studies on which someone wasted big bucks...

The difference is in the language -- not in the form of dyslexia. The brain function required to comprehend this:

is radically different from the function used in interpreting this:

"way"

Thanks neverdem.
A dyslexic man walked into a bra.
I wonder if they'e made a study on Chinese vs other kinds of stutterers?

Didja hear about the dyslexic with Tourette’s syndrome?
He went around yelling “This! This! This!”

Q: Why was the dyslexic thrown out of the piano bar?
A: He kept hacking loogies in the jar marked “tips”.
