article I've ever read, and there have been many. Topic, dyslexia, Lol. The irony.
Plenty of worthwhile points are made, esp. about differences in definitions and degrees of reading difficulties. Thanks for posting this one. Many of the sharpest and brightest people I've ever known, in various fields are not avid readers. OTOH, two of the most dishonest, non empathic people I've been with are heavy readers and highly literate.

(One of the first critiques of the discrepancy model was published in 1980, and further papers debunking the model were published throughout the 90s.) Intelligence and reading ability weren’t connected, meaning that dyslexia could no longer be defined as a condition that affected only bright children who struggled to read. Anyone, with any level of intelligence, could be dyslexic.
