Someone with a learning disability may be vulnerable to abuse due to difficulties in communication, which can hinder their ability to report or understand abusive situations.

Additionally, a reliance on caregivers for support can create power imbalances, leaving them more susceptible to manipulation or exploitation. Their isolation from peers may further reduce their access to resources and support systems that could help protect them.

Dyslexia, also known as developmental reading disorder.
There is some evidence to suggest genetics play a part in developmental dyslexia (you are born with it). If a child has one dyslexic parent then a boy has a 50% chance of being dyslexic, a girl has a 25% chance. However, it sometimes skips the female children but they become carriers for their children. Check the web sites of the British Dyslexia Association for references and details.
