Dyslexia is categorized as a reading disability although you can be dyslexic and have no problems reading, just problems with numbers, etc.. You can have a reading disability and have something besides dyslexia like alexia or hyperlexia. And if that answer confuses you, it confuses all of us. (Well, that was probably no help.)
