I don't know much about it, but could many older adults who never
learned to read have dyslexia? Was that generation even aware of it?
"Mothering" magazine has a good article about it this month: a woman's
"very bright" daughter who just couldn't learn to read without great
effort.

My dad may very well be dyslexic. He's never been "tested" or anything like
that. I do not know exactly what his challanges are in reading. I know that
he does recognize lots of very familar words, small words, but if he doesnt
know a word, he will just skip it, not even try to read it. My sister and my
middle son have similar difficulties with reading. Now, my son has been
"tested"... no dyslexia... more of a processing thing.. And, he can read, it is
just not easy for him
