I have taught dyslexic students - in a letter-based discipline, law. If they wanted to learn the law, they had to come to it. It is not open to them to say that the words are a restriction. The law is words and written principles. Generally, with appropriate treatment, they managed, if they wanted to. Those who wanted to float in coloured wonderlands failed.

A close relative was "hyperactive". His mother taught him that he could not treat that as an excuse, but needed to take charge of his own life and find a way to manage it. He got a first in philosophy.

My current lodger has an IQ of 170 - and is dyslexic. Because he wants to, and is prepared to work at it, he can read computer manuals, digital recording device manuals, and make the gadgets work.

He doesn't treat dyslexia as an excuse for not getting to grips with a subject he needs to understand.

Similarly, dyslexia is not an excuse for accusing "professors" of stealing the music from the peasants. No-one is stopping the "peasants" from listening to or making the music, or understanding it, or learning where it came from. In almost every case anyone doing any such thing is welcomed by every other participant.

What many, however, object to is fallacious claptrap, rantings about ignorance being bliss, and a resentment that those who do know more do know more.
