The most obvious symptom of dyslexia is reading difficulty. Which of the following may also accompany dyslexia?
  1. Social immaturity for age
  2. Risk-taking behavior
  3. Lying, aggression, or setting things on fire
  4. Lack of interest in hobbies or activities
Explanation
Answer: A-Many children with dyslexia are socially immature for their age.
Autopsies on dyslexic adults have found anomalies in the left hemispheres of the brains of these patients. In addition to challenges with regard to reading and language, children with dyslexia may have visual perceptual deficits, poor fine motor skills, and immature social skills. Effective and early intervention can actually change the neuron paths in the brains of dyslexic children.
