Notes -
Given that my son has a severe language acquisition problem, I don't doubt that dyslexia is a medical condition. If you think about it, being able to interpret strings of symbols as meaningful words is a completely unnatural skill. If you don't get enough practice at the right stage of your brain development, when you already have well-developed speech but the rest of the brain is still pliable, it's going to be much harder to develop the skill to the level when you don't have to expend any conscious effort to read.
If you're asking if dyslexia is more like flu than like hypertension, then I have no answer. Does it matter, though?
