    Well, dyslexia often does lead to less sophisticated formal aspects of writing, because many parents and schools are ill equipped to give the dyslexic kids ways to work around their issues.

    That's what I meant with it not directly being a factor. Indirectly and in practice it's of course a factor, but my point is that a dyslexic kid with dedicated parents and a teacher who cares to read up on stuff have no reason to do worse than others.
    I can't speak to formal writing style in Swdesh or German, but as an Anglophone Dyslexic I can tel you that there is a difference between the way Dyslexics write, stylistically, compared to non Dyslexics. We tend to punctuate for rhythm rather than meaning, and we produce constructions which mirror our vocal patterns, rather than written grammar.

    Put another way, Dyslexics don't learn to write so much as they learn to transcribe speech.

    Dyslexics tend to make good playwrites, poets, actors, and to lesser extend novelists for this reason.

    The bad at leaning foreign languages is a new one on me, and makes little sense, unless you mean writing​ or reading a foreign language, which is separate from learning one.
