A member asked:
I have a.d.d. but is it possible 2 develop dyslexia latter in life? cuz im coming across many situations where i read numbers backwards. age 22.

Quite possible: Learning disability to include dyslexia is not uncommon in the setting of ADHD / ADD, usually exists as a co-morbidity. To prevent impairment of function at school / work do have a proper psycho-educational evaluation to confirm adequate contol of ADD and for needed resources if a LD is confirmed.
