I did not read Mark Cohen's recommendation of the Book on dyslexia as being directed at you. Let me edit his paragraph to demonstrate:

>>> Now, before someone jumps in and says that "these kids don't have learning disorders, they're just lazy," or normal, or whatever, let me hasten to add that there are a number of very impressive studies of brain function, using functional MRI scans .........If you're interested, or skeptical, I'd suggest you check out a book called "Overcoming Dyslexia" by Sally Shaywitz.<<<

I read that as a suggestion that someone who doesn't believe learning disabilites are a real physical thing should look at the book. Clearly, from your responses, you made it clear you DO believe that learning disabilities exist.
