Are you born with dyslexia or can you develop it?

It’s a condition a person is born with, and it often runs in families. People with dyslexia are not stupid or lazy. Most have average or above-average intelligence, and they work very hard to overcome their learning problems. Research has shown that dyslexia happens because of the way the brain processes information.

Is dyslexia a form of autism?

Dyslexia is not a form of autism, although disorientation is a factor in both conditions.
