Dyslexia has been around for a long time and has been defined in different ways. For example, in 1968, the World Federation of Neurologists defined dyslexia as "a disorder in children who, despite conventional classroom experience, fail to attain the language skills of reading, writing, and spelling commensurate with their intellectual abilities." According to the U.S. National Institutes of Health, dyslexia is a learning disability that can hinder a person's ability to read, write, spell, and sometimes speak. Dyslexia is the most common learning disability in children and persists throughout life. The severity of dyslexia can vary from mild to severe. The sooner dyslexia is treated, the more favorable the outcome; however, it is never too late for people with dyslexia to learn to improve their language skills.
Children with dyslexia have difficulty in learning to read despite traditional instruction, at least average intelligence, and an adequate opportunity to learn. It is caused by an impairment in the brain's ability to translate images received from the eyes or ears into understandable language. It does not result from vision or hearing problems. It is not due to mental retardation, brain damage, or a lack of intelligence.
Dyslexia can go undetected in the early grades of schooling. The child can become frustrated by the difficulty in learning to read, and other problems can arise that disguise dyslexia. The child may show signs of depression and low self-esteem. Behavior problems at home as well as at school are frequently seen. The child may become unmotivated and develop a dislike for school. The child's success in school may be jeopardized if the problem remains untreated.

Dyslexia comes in many different forms, but it has zero to do with weight loss, appetite or metabolism. It has to do with how the brain perceives sensory information. It can be visual (reversing letters, spatial shape reversal, letters seeming to "swim" on the page); it can be auditory (the brain not processing phonetic sounds that are heard, can highly interfere with writing and/or spelling); and it can be related to movement (not being able to perceive the depth and placement of objects in your space, running into or knocking over things because of a problem with perception). The only way it could have anything to do with weight is if it somehow contributed to an underlying anxiety or depression, and accelerated it to the point of an eating disorder.
