Nature
Dyslexia is a learning disorder arising from abnormality in the part of the brain that organizes written information. Dyslexics have difficulties in reading and writing. The disability may include words and not letters, figures and not letters, and so on. Symptoms include skipping words or lines when reading or writing, changing or reversing letter or number sequences, dizziness when looking at words, and daydreaming. Dyslexic children may be gifted in other areas; for example, they learn to walk earlier than non-dyslexics.
Incidence
Five to 15% of children have some form of dyslexia.
Claim
1. There is a gene for dyslexia, and it affects the brain's magnocells, which react to the changes in light required to read print.
