I realise that and I'm sure there are many cases where it is properly recognised and that person can be helped. What I also believe, though, is that there are instances where they have used it as an excuse - possibly borderline cases where simple encouragement or hard work could work better. There is a vast difference between dyslexia and being unable to spell and I think some people hide behind dyslexia when in fact, they simply can't spell.
