I've been tested for dyslexia 7 times because I read so slowly. They just couldn't believe I didn't have dyslexia. Turns out it was just the low information processing speed from my autism in the end. I need to read really slowly or I just don't understand what the words are even trying to tell me. But rest assured, I can read every letter individually perfectly, as well as every word, every sentence, and every page. When I have to read it out loud and tell YOU what it says, I can easily go 3 times faster than if I have to read for myself to understand what it's saying. Once I do I have a very good learning capacity though. It just won't ever be on a high tempo.

Trying to read what was first typed on the screen was a bit mental as it really says, "is dyslexia to do with autism?"

That's a very non-standard grammatical construction you used there.

"Has Dyslexia anything to do with Autism?" or "Does Dyslexia have anything to do with Autism?" would have been a much clearer way to use the question for a topic.
