Self-Test for Dyslexia/LD
According to Dr. Levinson, dyslexia is identical to LD except for an arbitrary, mistaken distinction based on reading-score severity vs. symptomatic quality. Dyslexia was erroneously considered as a severe reading disorder (rather than a syndrome of many symptoms in which reading scores varied from very impaired to above average). By contrast, those dyslexics having less than severe reading scores were considered LD, albeit having identical overlapping reading and non-reading symptoms and determining mechanisms. Even worse, the two differently named disorders were also mistakenly considered to have different causes. By analogy, the traditionalist distinction between Dyslexia and LD would be similar to considering Diabetics with high and lower serum sugar levels as completely different disorders, thus labelling them by different names. Accordingly, the LD Self-Test is identical to the Dyslexia Self-Test.
