ps - schools don't really "recognize" dyslexia either - when you have an IEP for dyslexia it is considered qualifying as "Learning Disability - Reading" .... all the nomenclature is so situation-dependent. The new DSM-V is written in a way that is supposed to more closely align with the way schools define specific learning disabilities.. but otoh there are concerns with how it's written too, and I am not sure when it officially becomes the new standard.
