There is some variability in the definition of dyslexia. Some sources, such as the U.S. National Institutes of Health, define it specifically as a learning disorder.[2] Other sources, however, define it simply as an inability to read in the context of normal intelligence, and distinguish between developmental dyslexia (a learning disorder) and acquired dyslexia (loss of the ability to read caused by brain damage). ICD 10, the manual of medical diagnosis used in much of the world, includes separate diagnoses for "developmental dyslexia" (81.0)[21] and for "dyslexia and alexia" (48.0).[22]DSM 5, the manual of psychiatric diagnosis used in the United States, does not specifically define dyslexia, justifying this decision by stating that "the many definitions of dyslexia and dyscalculia meant those terms would not be useful as disorder names or in the diagnostic criteria". Instead it includes dyslexia in a category called specific learning disorders.[23]
According to some this is just rubbish though (source wikipedia).
As I said earlier, Wikipedia is a useful starter for ten, which will give links to other works of reference for further reading, as you have highlighted in your post. It is not to be taken as gospel. Yes, there is Dyslexia, Alexia, and Dyscalculia, which are all linked in developmental disorders.
Waiting for Godot & salvation :-)
Why do doctors have to practice?
You'd think they'd have got it right by now

I thought Dyslexia had to do with the inability to figure out words because the brain rearranged them? So while most people can figure this little ditty out:
"Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteers be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe."
Chances are you also understand it. It purports that the order of the letters inside a given word doesn't matter, as long as the first and last letters of each word are in the right place."
I am not a medical person so I do not have the knowledge to describe Dyslexia properly. All I know is that it is known generally as Word Blindness, both in reading and writing. I do recall reading that having a yellow coloured overlay makes it easier to read for Dyslexic people. I think I'll leave anything more to Dr Mike.

I am not dyslexic yet, not do
I am not dyslexic yet, not do I have any idea as to what that could have to do with a bug.
That is, I don't know any bugs that write.
In software development you can create a bug by typing something dyslectic, though I somehow doubt that is what was meant.
We know some people do not
We know some people do not have English as their first language, so in an attempt to be helpful.

Dyslexia folks could not.
Funny I thought that dyslexia
Funny I thought that dyslexia was on the outbound side, where the letters got jumbled.
