dyslexics
Those who misread
Dyslexics are people who have dyslexia, a learning condition that affects reading, writing, and spelling.
The word functions as both noun and adjective: programs designed for dyslexics, dyslexics often develop strong visual-spatial skills.
As with many disability terms, some prefer person-first language (people with dyslexia) while others embrace the identity label.
