[quote=Anonymous]OP, look at the other thread - “is this a reading disability” - which extensively discusses how ADHD impacts reading. dyslexia is typically a reading disorder that impacts the ability to perceive and discriminate auditorily the sounds of speech and translate them into symbols (letter combos) (encoding) and to identify symbol combinations and the sounds they produce (decoding). Dyslexics who learn the speech/symbol code often still have difficulty with speed and fluency and since the deciding is laborious this impacts comprehension of reading. OTOH, many ADHD kids who are also poor readers (about 50%) learned the sound/speech connection without explicit instruction that dyslexics need but they still have difficulty with comprehension due to ADHD impacts like. - slow processing, poor working memory, executive dysfunction, social pragmatic deficits, etc. [/quote]
