I am writing to you all hoping you can offer me a bit of help. I have a partner who is dyslexic. His son is also dyslexic. I also have a son who has semantic pragmatic disorder. I am wondering what Autistic traits are usually present in dyslexics and could they be similar to those of SPD.? I understand that everyone is different but i am concerned because the 3 of them do not get along at all. My son needs to control every situation as he then knows its format and he can dictate the pace. As SPD is a social and communication disorder, anything which doesnt seem to fit into his rigid thinking, is a threat to him. My partners son is gregarious and fairly similar in his need to be in charge. Are dyslexics rigid in thinking also? Any advice would be greatfully accepted cos the rows are doing my head in. Thanx

Human neurology is highly complex as is neuro diversity among people. Dyslexics seem to have a very wide range because of the presence of new connections and loss of connections usually present in "normals". Dyslexics and Asperger's syndrome seem to overlap in some individuals. I know as a dyslexic myself, I tended towards literal interpretations of what people said, and it took time to evaluate the difference between what was said and reality...I took it as being the same. This is something some dyslexics can have in common with autistics.
Autistics tend to wish for a tight regime of highly predictable tasks happening in a predictable and repetitive pattern. Most dyslexics, I know don't do anything predictably except being unpredictable. In that manner the two preferred states can most certainly clash severely.
One good thing however, human enurology is highly adaptable and peopel are very capable of learning behaviour. Re-enforcing collaboration as well as rewarding it may help improve their relationship. Of course, it can always be that they just do not like eachother. Finding ways to have them cooperate to both of their benefit, or ways of keeping them separated would seem the only solutions....applying that in practice however...
