Getting a dyslexic diagnosis is an exercise in frustration. Schools actively resist having to do that or accept it - you absolutely have to go private, to a neuropsych.
And dyslexia is usually comorbid with a whole bundle of other interrelated learning disabilities. Half of all dyslexics or more have an auditory processing disorder, a whole bunch have one or more other language-related disabilities, lots of apraxia or dyspraxia (which may then affect the speech as well....), as you know it is very common to also have dysgraphia or dyscalculia, and of course it's all very common among the autistic and ADHD population. Teasing out exactly what's causing which part of what issue is... ugh.
