Because dyslexia is often mistakenly viewed as a severe reading impairment rather than a syndrome of the above mentioned symptoms, many believe that normal or even superior reading individuals can't possibly be dyslexics — despite the presence of typical dyslexic-related difficulties with writing, grammar, spelling, math, memory, speech, sense of direction and time, etc.
As a result, typical dyslexics with normal or superior reading-scores are termed Learning Disabled (LD) — as if dyslexia and LD were separate and distinct disorders. Dr. Levinson's research has clearly and definitely shown that dyslexia and LD are the same. In other words, dyslexia is a syndrome of many and varied symptoms differing in intensity. And thus some dyslexics will have severe reading, spelling and speech difficulties while others will have major problems with only math, memory and concentration. Yet all suffer from an inner-ear-determined dysfunction.
