I've been told, and I've observed it myself, that about 60+% of dyslexics are males with IQs above 120. Having dyslexia lead to being labeled as retarded. It was because of my interests in model rocketry and teaching myself Calc and Trig and my parents not excepting the schools label I did better.

A lot of the students I schooled with in special Ed ended up in jobs or in jail. I'm a database administrator for a weather company.
