Dyslexia Autism Spectrum Autism Spectrum, Dyslexia, and Developmental. We recommend an integrated 'back to basics' approach; retraining the brain from the ground up.

Patience and dedication to the process are key. Autism Spectrum, Dyslexia, and Developmental Disorders... Autism and Dyslexia. Since autism occurs on a spectrum as well, it can often be misidentified as awkwardness and difficulty socializing at their age level.

Dyslexia Autism Speaks Autism and dyslexia are wrongly classified as childhood disorders: They are lifelong and therefore have to be studied in adults as well as in children. Individual variability is enormous, and, as a result, behavioral diagnosis remains problematic. The study of the underlying cognitive abilities in autism and dyslexia has acted as a gateway for the Autism and Dyslexia - journals.sagepub.com Fact sheet: Dyslexia, a co-morbid disorder associated with Autism Spectrum Disorders. Dyslexia is a condition or learning disability which causes difficulty with reading and writing. Its standard definition is a difficulty in reading and writing in spite of normal development of intelligence, cognitive and sensory abilities.
