# Actually dyslexics are more likely to have a higher IQ than someone of the same demographic.

# is that actually because dyslexics are, on average, cleverer
or because dyslexia may be missed in someone who is also stupid?

# Arf!
Good point. Perhaps stupid dyslexics never get diagnosed because either:

a) they're too stupid to spell properly even without the dyslexia

or

b) They're too stupid to spell properly but also dyslexic so it cancels out to reasonable spelling ability.

# Absolutely
which is why it must be frustrating in a largely text medium like this to look like a mong who can't spell.
And probably even more frustrating when mongs who just can't spell hijack your genuine condition to excuse their can't-spelly mongishness.
