Im dyslexic and love Python but as you say not all dyslexics are the same. I would dry out different colour schemes, I font they make a massive difference.
I find it interesting that he describes the white space being an issue. I think my dyslexia makes me a more 'visual' learner, I need to see something in front of me to absorb it and things with a solid pattern and structure help. I think Python follows those sensibilities.
I could undersand that maybe something with a C style syntax using braces may provide a 'better' indication of the blocks but my feeling is that the indentation is a better way of visually showing the blocks of code.
Could you ask him what it is about the white space that he finds hard?
Some dyslexics when reading see the words moving around in front of them and use a ruler to follow a line, most editors have a way of setting the background of the line where the cursor is in a different colour. That may help?
