Dyslexia is one of many types of learning difficulties. There are many types of these difficulties and just about everyone has one to some extent or another. With dyslexia, the learning difficulty may range from somebody with horrendous dyslexia who is functionally illiterate, all the way to people who can read just fine, but turn a few letters around when they write. Actually, "dyslexia" and the related condition "dysmetria" describe a wide range of cognitive problems, including things such as difficulty understanding directions, reading maps, and/or doing logical puzzles. In comedy, it's usually portrayed as jumbled, hilariously misspelled words (see the trope picture), sometimes used in order to spell rude words — if spelling something incorrectly a dyslexic wouldn't necessarily form recognizable words at all. In drama and televised series, it's sometimes the focus of a Very Special Episode. If you have further interest in the subject or want to know how to portray dyslexia more accurately, check out our Useful Notes page on Dyslexia. Compare Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny! and Hollywood Autism, for media's treatment of ADHD and Autism, respectively. |

Theo on The Cosby Show. While it was an interesting character move to reverse his established characterization of "just being stupid", the portrayal was fairly hamfisted, and it is implied that his condition is entirely cured by a pair of glasses. This was inspired by Cosby's late son, Ennis, who actually WAS diagnosed with dyslexia. | |

Black Hole High: We learn that Vaughn has dyslexia when the mysterious phenomenon of the week causes him to switch bodies with Lucas. Vaughn is startled to find it suddenly easy to read, while Lucas is confused when he suddenly finds random letters written backwards. While it's an interesting realization that dyslexia, being a result of "the way the brain is wired" remains with the body (This may be more "accurate", though we are assessing the accuracy of the results of two people swapping bodies), it's the fact that he sees letters backwards that tips Lucas off to the nature of Vaughn's problem. | |

The younger sister Maggie from In Her Shoes is shown to have a terrible employment history and fails a screen test that involves reading from a teleprompter. She is dyslexic. But practice in reading slowly with a former (blind) English Professor helps. (In the book, sitting in a library and reading slowly at her own pace also helped). | |

Kevin & Kell: Rudy has dystracksia, so he has trouble reading tracks — a big problem for a predator (Rudy is a fox/wolf hybrid). Turns out his mind is hard-wired for tracking plant growth, among other eco-friendly gardening skills. According to Kevin's mother Dorothy (a rabbit), this is also a problem for prey. Dorothy also has dystracksia, which forced her to find her own food/water/shelter rather than following tracks left by other rabbits. On the bright side for her, she was never part of a herd that got "thinned" by predators. Note that the guy that does this also does Safe Havens listed above. Bill Holbrook is fond of this trope. |

Matt Parkman on Heroes has horrible dyslexia to the point that he is functionally illiterate. His having never heard of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which he could have invoked to take alternative promotion exams, is probably related to another condition. When his FBI sort-of-partner arranges for him to take the alternative exam, he's clearly surprised at the notion. | |

On Marcus Welby, M.D., the teenage patient of the week is being berated at the breakfast table for his bad report card. He becomes increasingly upset before finally yelling, "I'm sorry!" and running out the sliding glass door. Um, through the sliding glass door. He'd thought it opened the other way and had cut himself badly on the glass. In taking him to the doctor for his injuries, guess what the family discovers he has. | |

At various times it's pointed out that Casey knows the material but can't write it down coherently, and that he needs extra help with reading and comprehension. he's also shown highlighting his notes in different colours to help with revision; one colour for themes, one for quotes, one for references to characters, etc. | |

Rubberbandman from Static Shock was shown to be dyslexic, which was a problem when he had to read instructions to keep the MacGuffin from blowing up. The short at the end of the episode unfortunately said that the part about reading backwards was actually true. He winds up saving the day by using an actual dyslexic coping mechanism. While he couldn't read it due to the pressure he was under, he could still count how many letters there were in the word. And counterclockwise is longer than clockwise! |

Common in Very Special Episodes that don't involve drugs, child molestation, or gambling. One such special ep in Step by Step had J.T. struggle with dyslexia. The movie Summer School had such a scene, where one of the students in Remedial English is discovered to have undiagnosed dyslexia. |

The Quantum Leap episode Jimmy, where Sam leaps into a dock worker with Down Syndrome. Another of the workers has a severe hatred of Jimmy even beyond the usual prejudice of the time, and it turns out to be because he's dyslexic and can't read, and thus feels like the intellectually-disabled but literate Jimmy is actually smarter than him. It uses the "jumbled up words" explanation, though you can fanwank that Sam was trying to not sound too smart while inhabiting such a person. | |

Degrassi: The Next Generation: Rare dyscalculia example: Liberty van Sandt was dyscalculic, and needed extra help from her math teacher. Unfortunately, this led to a rumor being spread that she was being sexually abused by him, due to the extra time they spent together. Joey Jeremiah is diagnosed with dysgraphia in the original series after repeating the eighth grade and not doing terribly well in the ninth. Anya is dyslexic. |

Bruce Jenner used to show up on various television series to talk about what dyslexia really is. In the 1985 Silver Spoons episode "Trouble With Words", he meets nine-year-old Alfonso, an excellent dancer whose father thinks is simply neglecting schoolwork. Alfonso stays up all night sweating over a book report on Moby-Dick which compares the conflict between man and whale to "the fight between dab and doog". Jenner pounces on it and gives the father an education. | |

In the Percy Jackson and the Olympians book series, basically all the half bloods have this. The reason given is that their minds are hardwired to read Ancient Greek, so forcing them to read anything else mixes them up. The author based this on his son's dyslexia, so it's portrayed more realistically than most examples. | |

Glee subverts this trope by portraying Ryder Lynn's dyslexia very realistically. He has phonic dyslexia as he can read words he already learned but he can't sound out new ones and mirrored words baffle him. Sam is also stated to be dyslexic, but it's never explored in-universe. |

An Archie story in Archie at Riverdale High #98 (August '84) gave Moose Mason dyslexia as an explanation for why he did so poorly in school. Archie had begun backing off on the constant dumbhead gags for Moose in the late '70s-early '80s. In "The Eyes Have It", following a relatively simple assignment with a number of steps to be copied off the board, Moose's paper looks hopelessly jumbled... because that's what he saw. Tests with a specialist reveal he's dyslexic. | |

On episode eleven of series seven on Mock the Week the Headliners round had the initials "E.R.W.C" Andy Parsons suggested that it was just "Crew" from the newspaper "Dyslexics Weekly". The episode afterwards, the headliner was "O.C.S.W". Parsons said it was the return of the same paper and it just said "COWS" - Dara commented how amusing it was that a newspaper felt the need to bring attention to cows in the dyslexic community. |

So Weird: Molly is mildly dyslexic, though she has somehow avoided mentioning this to her 17-year-old son. When, for the viewer's benefit, she explains what dyslexia is (since her son, Replacement Goldfish daughter, and two college-age friends of the family have never heard of the disorder) she explicitly says that it means that you sometimes see letters out of order. Curiously, the "artistic" representation of it that we see is not letters out of order, but simply replaced by random characters. | |

Fannie Flagg, one of the frequent celebrities on the 1970s Match Game, didn't get diagnosed until a teacher who watched the show sent Flagg a letter after said teacher noticed a lot of Flagg's written answers were misspelled (ie. "receipt" was "recpiet"). Flagg, for her part, hadn't heard of the condition before. She managed to overcome it and wound up writing Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe (no, seriously!). | |

Game of Thrones: Jaime Lannister is described as "reversing the letters in his head", but because the series takes place in a world similar to the middle ages, he went undiagnosed. His father Tywin recalls spending four hours a day forcing Jaime to learn and says that Jaime hated him for it for a long time. If you listen closely enough in "You Win or You Die", Jaime has a slight bit of trouble reading Ned Stark's letter to Tywin summoning him to court; he pauses at certain words and sounds out every syllable as a child would, an interesting and realistic contrast to his spoken eloquence. In his letter to Doran◊, he misspells "nieces" as "neices". As he points out to Locke, he learned a lot of fancy words during those sessions with his father, but it doesn't mean reading's necessarily easy, and he also points out to Olenna that his father had always said he was a slow learner. | |

Lucretia in Bystander was diagnosed with Dyslexia by someone that didn't realize her real problem was that print pages and computer displays weren't made for someone with thermal and electrical vision. She goes along with it as part of her Obfuscating Stupidity SOP and has never herself bothered to actually research Dyslexia, or at least she pretends she hasn't. She actually reads very well when temperatures aren't fluctuating too much and she has a paper book to read rather than a computer or other electrical device. | |

The titular Jimmy of Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass is heavily implied to suffer from dyslexia. Any time Jimmy is confronted with written words of any type, the words are always squirming around and appear as a jumbled mess from his point of view. This is further compounded by the credits sequence at the end of the game, where the credits gradually get more and more scrambled as they go on, becoming completely illegible by the end. | |

Max and George in The George Lopez Show. Portrayed rather realistically. George went his entire life without knowing he was dyslexic. It's explained in the show that whenever he had a hard time reading, he'd ask someone else to do it for him. It was only when Max was diagnosed that he discovered this. It's treated pretty well on the show but is still the point of a few jokes. One involved searching for a specific street number and being unable to remember or recognize it. Max had a rough time in school, needing extra time and help on his work. Everyone expects him to fail the 5th grade, but he works hard and is overjoyed when he graduates. |

Greg Haiste on The John Dredge Nothing To Do With Anything Show has some attacks of this: Once when asked to read the closing credits and another time when helping to present What's on in Leighton Buzzard. Also, when he gets angry, he sometimes starts to attempt spelling out words, with dubious results: | |

An episode of Family Guy shows a movie theater for dyslexics, with a marquee promoting Chevy Chase in "Feltch". It's also a Double Entendre, as "Feltch" is a term for a sexual practice. Look it up at your own risk. |

Although Hank Zipzer is a comedy, Hank's dyslexia is treated seriously (although Hank himself makes jokes about it).

However, much humour is derived from Hank's attempts to overcompensate for the condition and the bizarrely inventive ways he tries to negotiate around it. | |

Frasier dismisses any concern, as she only has one line: "Look out, he's got a gun!" Cue the actual broadcast: | |

Parodied in the English dub of Ghost Stories, where Satsuki's...odd brother Keiichirou is mocked in many ways. | |
