Dyslexia affects many different areas, but some testers only check one area. They find one weakness and come to the wrong conclusion. They don’t realize that weakness may be part of a bigger problem: dyslexia.
It’s like the fable of the blind men who approach an elephant from various directions. The one who discovers the trunk describes the animal very differently than the one who finds the tail, than the one who finds the leg, the tusk, etc.
None of them “see” that what they found is just one part of a bigger thing, an elephant.
‘Dyslexia' is an alternative term used to refer to a patern of learning difficulties characterized by problem with accurate or fluent word recognition, poor decoding and poor spelling abilities
