My son has very high reading level - he was in 12 grade reading when he was 6th grade. he is very advance in math in concept all through middleschool that he knew many answers but difficulties to write out the steps. difficulties in doing written work. he also has ADHD and sleeping problem.

I suspect him having dyslexia just a few months ago and was told my a specialist that he is actually has dyslexia, he said he couldn't learn by reading book, listening or watching movie. he learns through doing it and talking about it.
He has hard time to spell since grade school. he can't remember non-meaing facts like dates/ location/name/ multiplication.

His IQ was in top 5 range that confused everyone including him that he has all of the disabilities.

Finally this April, he admit he is hitting the wall because he hasn't got any accommodation. he did well in colleges classes that require less writting but open discussion.
