It is a fair and reasonable question that I struggled with for some time
myself.  Actually, my type of dyslexia is different than most people are
familiar with, and by itself is not severe enough to qualify.  I actually
told the OT I thought I should  not qualify, but she read the regs,
performed several hand tests and felt it was a verifiable and justifiable
qualification.  Especially since both of my conditions are progressive and I
have some sensory neuropathy.  

 

I felt guilty for a while until I tried to pre-read a hard cover book I will
be proofing and I could not read more than four pages every couple of hours
due to hand and wrist pain from holding it.  I did not realize I had all but
quit reading until I started proofing and found it so enjoyable!

 

It is not a determination I undertook lightly and tried to let the OT know I
would certainly understand if she felt I did not meet the criterion since I
was so unsure myself.

Okay, this brings to mind several adages like there being more than meets
the eye and the one about walking a mile in one's moccasins. Besides, I had
forgotten that you had mentioned dyslexia before. That would qualify you by
itself.
