lysdexia
 n.— «Like my “lysdexia” only a “reasonable accommodation” is possible never victory, never recovery. The dyslexia was reasonably accommodated in some serendipitous ways beginning at the age of four in 1951 when my father who had been teaching me to read using phonics discovered, much to his displeasure, that I could not read sentences of more than two or at most three words.» —“IED” by George M. Henderson Quality of The Light Dec. 11, 2007. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
