dyslexia has many forms. Some dyslexic people can read perfectly but can not write (Spelling come in is fine, spelling going out is jumbled) Other dyslexia can be sequencing deficits (all the letters are there, just not in the right order). Dyslexic people have usually come up with great coping mechanisms. My son has dyslexia and he graduated from college with a 3.4 average on a scale of four. The first definition of a learning disability is that the person has ABOVE average intelligence, that the dysability is keeping them from reaching their full potential. If your son is dyslexic it is very likely he would be getting As and Bs without the dysability.

Don't worry, he may still be dyslexic but there's loads of help out there these days. He can still get good grades because by 17 he'll have worked out various coping strategies. To actually identify a learning difficulty will help. He may be given extra time in exams for example or if severely dyslexic he could even have someone write the text for him.

yep me too (well O levels) still dyslexic though.
think what he could achieve with the appropriate help.
My schooling goes 10 O Levels (A-C) 1 A level grade E then appropriate help and a 2:1 degree.
I didn't have help and coped with school to 16 but not after that - you really need support for higher study.
