I heard him on the radio, I'm not entirely sure he is saying that Dyslexia does not exist at all, moreover that a great many illiterate people who have not been able to learn to read & write properly are being lumper in with the term Dyslexic of which there are a great many levels of.

What is needing is better ways of teaching, more emphasis on phonetics etc.
Many other countries do not have the level of "dyslexic" sufferers that we do, but then their language is a lot different & easier to learn. Which sort of says that maybe it's not actually dyslexia, more that English is just a damn awkward language & should be scrapped.

Ve shut oll be tolking viz da german accent Ja!
