I just heard something interesting.
I was told that if ,say, a european has dyslexia this person wouldn't be dyslectic when confronted with kanji.
then, is there some huge difference in how the brain reads kanji compared to aphabets?
Or are just chinese not able to have dyslexia? ...is kanji the ultimate system even? xd
>,<

Kanji looks more like a picture than a word, being a symbol. If this is true, then I believe it would likely be because of that. Dyslexics don't see photos or pictures strangely, right?

Dyslexia is more a problem with what order you process the words or letters in rather than how you actually SEE them. I think part of the reason that dyslexia seems to be less of a problem is that you're studying a second language -- instead of "reading" quickly with the part of your brain that handles quick input, you're more "studying" because you haven't made the foreign language natural to yourself yet. Japanese and other languages not written with Roman characters are simply harder to read because it's less similar to what you grew up reading.
The bad news for dyslexics, then, is that you might find yourself transposing kanji around once you start to get fluent.
