Thanks for the suggestions thus far. It seems to me that something is off and I have tossed around the idea of a LD in my mind for years, but am just not sure. The thing that doesn't seem to fit re stealth dyslexia is that she has always tested advanced on phonics (tests like DIBELS in early elementary where they have to decode nonsense words using phonics always came back very advanced).
I did find an interview online with Sally Shaywitz
here and she also mentions speech delays -- minor or major. I've heard this before in re to a sign of dyslexia. Granted, I'm dealing with a gifted child but even for a gifted child her speech was not at all delayed. She was putting two words together at 5.5 months. I recall carrying her into the bathroom at that age and her pointing at the tub and saying, "mama, a bat!"
Other signs of dyslexia (motion sickness, others I can't recall right now) do fit, though.
