"A duo of French scientists said Wednesday they may have found a physiological, and seemingly treatable, cause for dyslexia hidden in tiny light-receptor cells in the human eye."

@LexYeen Interesting! An old sweetheart who was very dyslexic told me he'd been diagnosed in 2nd grade because his gym teacher noticed that he *ran funny* (he did!) and suggested he get tested. It was interesting to see how it manifested for him--in fine motor control (he had terrible handwriting), problems with visual pattern recognition (he could never find things in his own messy room, though he was masterful at systems *thinking*). Seemed much more physical than we usually consider it..
