This is my opinion based on my research for my Masters thesis on right and left brain functioning. Our brains are organized so that various parts perform different functions. Researchers discovered that stroke victims presented various symptoms depending on which part of the brain was affected. Some lost the power of speech, others of movement. The theory about Learning Disabilities, including Dyslexia is that your brain is trying to use the part of your brain that it wasn't meant to. To put it broadly, the left side of the brain is designed for sequential processing--such as reading, sequencing, etc. The right side of your brain is designed to see the whole--patterns, the ability to recognize faces, play music. The theory about learning disabilities is that the wrong side of the brain is trying to do a task it is not equipped for, such as the right brain trying to read. (Reading and language are left brain activities) There is an easy pop test: Ask someone if they require directions to somewhere, would they prefer to have written instructions (go to the next light and turn right), or a map that shows the whole area. I think most people are balanced, as I am. I prefer a map, and I was a musician, but my minor was English and I had several jobs as a writer. There is quite a lot of research done in this area. The person who comes to mind is Gazzaniga. I think it is fascinating.

I'm no expert, but I understand that dyslexia sometimes affects more than just reading ability, so I would have to say yes. But it also seems likely that the Chinese characters would get jumbled as well. It could be that reading from up to down is easier than reading from left to right, for dyslexics.

Although I have dyslexia I have coped really well with my reading and writing and did very well academically.
But I struggle even now in my 40s with Left and right. People trying to give me directions is the worst it all jumbles up in my head and I cannot remember anything.

A member of my family is and it has not a great deal of effect on them I think if it is pointed out to you or your reminded all the time you are then it can effect you, none of us mention it so maybe that's why there get on fine and they have a great job, the good thing now is lots is done on computers so spell check helps. I'm not but my spelling is and always has been bad

I have dyslexia and it does not affect my maths, reading or writing at all. It simply affects my spelling and speed at counting objects.
Dyslexia makes it hard for me to relate concepts into drawings and pictures. With abstract pictures I am OK but I am terrible at technical drawings and graphical art.
