As with all things there are varying levels.

Dyslexics can suffer many differing problems as well as reading and
maths.

Tying shoelaces or ties can be a problem, remembering directions or
instructions can also be difficult, steering a car can  be eratic with
overcorrections common.

I believe it is associated with 'short term' memory problems rather
than the long term, this explains the difficulty with maths as who
works out what 7x8 is ...  if you know your tables you know it is 56.

Dysexics have difficulty recognising words by the spelling, as they
learn to cope they recognise the 'shape' of words which gives the
impression of being able to read but when they encounter a new word
they are often not able to sound it out correctly.

Fortunately with modern technology dyslexia can be coped with more
easily.
