Dyslexia is not stupidity, the only idiot I see in this topic is the “researcher” claiming it is. When the wiring from the visual to the verbal doesn’t work properly, or differently than most, struggling to associated the visual cues with their appropriate sound is not a sign of stupidity.

Calling Dyslexia a sign of stupidity, is like calling any verbal or visual disorder a sign of stupidity. Stuttering for example is another example where assuming stupidity of the individual because of a disorder is foolishness.

As someone with Dyslexia, and a retired military officer with a BSEE, MSEE and MBA, thank you for your voice of reason. Those who make blanket assertions regarding topics about which they know nothing might want to get their own IQs tested. (mine is 156. Last time I checked that was somewhat above stupid)

Jag!

Well someone has to step up and be the voice of reason every once in a while. I just don’t get idiotic claims like this guy and others like him.

Thank you for your service.
