Dyslexia rules... KO?

A month or so ago, the press were full of stories about the validity of the term "dyslexia" and whether it actually exists.

I've just been told from a colleague in the SEN team at the LEA that we actually can't say "dyslexia" now, it's another "non-specific learning difficulty".

Surely this opens a can of worms - those with ... let's call them spelling issues ... are now lumped in with those who are slow developers or have a low IQ. I bet they dislike that very much.
