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.

What are the different severities of dyslexia?

That's a really good question! Dyslexia comes in all shapes and sizes, anything from getting your left and right confused, to a complete inability to read language in any form whatsoever. Dyslexia can be anywhere from a slight annoyance, to a complete debilitating disorder! I have dyslexia that is extraordinarily severe, and I am writing this post with voice recognition software because of it. My dyslexia is pretty much debilitating. Some people who say they have dyslexia merely get their left and right or red and green confused, and then there are people like me who can't even read signs telling them not to touch live wires. As you can see, dyslexia is a pretty wide spectrum.
