Anecdotally, for whatever it is worth, a very close family member of mine has ADD inattentive, and the more I read about it the more I am sure that he also has some kind of dyslexia/dysgraphia thing going on. We were recently reading the same pages in a book at the same time and I could not believe how long it took him. (maybe that is a processing speed thing rather than dyslexia?) His handwriting also just looks...labored. And I feel like I remember him struggling some with that as a kid. He is very, very smart--I am sure at least HG. My heart just hurts for him to know how hard he must have had to work to do as well as he did.
