This has got me thinking... Is dyslexia something you've just got or you
haven't got, or are there shades in between? Does it have to affect your
spelling -- or can it just affect numeracy, for example?

BTW, I was fairly low down in terms of spelling and numeracy, when I was
at primary school. I was doing 2nd/3rd year work in the 5th year. I
understood the work, but I didn't do much because it was so boring. Then
they moved me up to 5th year work, and I missed all of the stuff in
between. I'm doing A-Level Maths now, but I still don't know my tables.
