Do you mean dyslexia or dyspraxia? I suffer from both - and neither are ADHD though they may occur at the same time as ADHD - what do you want to know about it?

To find out more about dsypraxia try http://www.dyspraxiafoundation.org.uk/services/dys_dyspraxia.php and dyslexia try here http://www.dyslexiaaction.org.uk/

EDIT : Just wanted to mention that some doctors now beleive that there is no such thing as ADHD - it is just poor diagnosis of other conditions.

Are you referring to dyslexia? If so, this has nothing to do with ADHD, other than it can cause some of the same problems with children because with dyslexia, normally intelligent children have trouble reading, and sometimes if they are not diagnosed properly, become labelled as troublemakers or class clowns. Many famous people have been dyslexics: Albert Einstein. Bruce Jenner. Gerald Ford. Nelson Rockefeller. Galileo. Thomas Edison. Sylvester Stallone. Mozart. Gen. George Patton. Wright Brothers. Leonardo da Vinci. Gerald Ford. Cher. So, children or adults with dyslexia are not in bad company, all things considered.

I think you mean "dyslexia" which is a condition that makes it extremely difficult to read, write, and spell in one's native language—despite at least average intelligence.

While dyslexia may occur in those with ADHD, ADHD is really a different condition. It is a developmental and behavioral disorder characterized by poor concentration, distractibility, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness that are inappropriate for the child's age. Children and adults with ADHD are easily distracted by sights and sounds in their environment, cannot concentrate for long periods of time, are restless and impulsive, or have a tendency to daydream and be slow to complete tasks.

Dyslexia? Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that is neurological in origin. It is characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities. These difficulties typically result from a deficit in the phonological component of language that is often unexpected in relation to other cognitive abilities and the provision of effective classroom instruction. Secondary consequences may include problems in reading comprehension and reduced reading experience that can impede growth of vocabulary and background knowledge.

Do you mean dyslexia, if so it is not just something children suffer from, I have it and at 32 it still effects my life but you learn to live with it and develop ways around it. It is a condition where you get letters and numbers jumbled up (that is a very simplified definition!)

dyslexia? That's when you get things mixed up and backwards, such as numbers and sometimes words.

I looked up the word you stated and I can't find any like it. Please be more specific with the name and/or symptoms.
