A way of palming from the state and getting freebies for basically being slightly inept at the lingual version of mathematics.
Anyone know a bad mathematician? (yes, most of us). Anyone know one who gets a new pc when they go to uni? :P

Dyslexia is a neurological condition, whereby afflicted persons process all information with, what is often termed as, the right side of the brain. As a result, most dyslexics have significant difficulties processing words or numbers, as well as superior conceptual and spatial abilities. When coupled with above-average intelligence and work ethic, dyslexia often results in genius. Philosophers (e.g. Bacon) and scientists (e.g. Einstein), and substantial numbers of artists (40% of some art schools) are generally thought to of had this condition. Unfortunately, modern dyslexics face significant disadvantages with learning and testing formats (particularly standardized tests like the SAT), leading to incorrect assessments of their ability. While dyslexics can technically receive benefits (e.g. extra time on exams), formal testing costs (which often total thousands of dollars and are rarely covered by insurance) preclude almost all impoverished dyslexics from getting them, despite overwhelming evidence that impoverished populations face a Dyslexia epidemic. At the same time, wealthy populations are significantly over-diagnosed with dyslexia.
Poor Dyslexic: I definitely have dislexia, but I can't afford the tests required for extra-time on exams, so i guess I'll just have to go to community college...
Rich "Dyslexic": You mean Dyslexia.* I had unlimited time on the SATs and got perfect math, verbal, AND writing scores! Stanford here I come!

"Hey I know you have dyslexia, do you need any help with this?"
"I think I'm OK but thanks"
"ok if you need help though just ask"
"thanks"
