Can someone develop dyslexia or for it to get worse with age?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No and Sort Of..: Basically, barring a brain disease or injury, one is born with dyslexia.It begins to show when one is required to read.It may worsen as one ages, not because the problem is worse mechanically, but the reading requirements intensify overwhelming your capabilities which are a problem due to the dyslexia.
