According to my DS, Annie in the Lucy Hawking George books is also dyslexic.
As an adult who grew up before all this testing and evaluation became common, I would have given a thing to have had an explanation or understanding regardless of the name used. My son has a weird variant of dysgraphia so I haven't ever used the term and just focus on describing it as a disability, although I didn't initially use that term either. We started with his brain his just wired differently and there seems to be a short circuit in what he sees in his head and what he can make come out on paper. We focused on how everyone has something, needing glasses, needing help reading, having allergies. And that helped him understand, but he definitely needed something because he was feeling very down about having trouble.
