Your comment is kind of self-contradictory in a way. Or at least, contains its own answer within itself. You admit that we call extreme cases of slowed reading development a reading disorder. People with autism do represent extreme cases. I understand the logic behind not wanting to call it a disorder due to the negative connotation the word carries. And I appreciate the sympathy. But recognition of the condition is far more valuable. Even if a less-desired word has to be used, I'm just glad it's being recognized.
