  Howard I have a relation who struggled through school because he suffered from dyslexia; in his case it manifested itself as the inability to distinguish between certain letters for example "b" & "d". This made reading and writing particularly hard work for him and it was only when he got specialised educational support did his performance at school and therefore his behaviour (he was branded as difficult mostly because of his own self frustration at how hard he found it all) improve leading to him getting acceptable grades in his GCSE's and ultimately to him getting and holding down a job.
  
  Initially I was as sceptical as the MP in question, about dyslexia, but seeing it first hand and the problems it causes made me realise that when it manifests itself it is not idleness or stupidity, but a real problem.
