Dyslexic Research Trust - Interesting Facts

Separate diagnostic labels are given by professionals to developmental dyslexia, dysphasia, dyspraxia, attention-deficit /hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autistic spectrum disorders (ASD). Even though the patterns of behavioural and learning difficulties that define them are somewhat different, nevertheless some core symptoms are common to all of them, namely problems with focussing attention, short term memory and sequencing, so that there is much overlap between all these conditions (often called comorbidity). For example half of children with dyslexia have ADHD symptoms and more than half of dyspraxics have dyslexic problems. http://www.dyslexic.org.uk/related.htm
