im a dyslexic, and i started at uni doing a programming degree, I then switched off it (not due to my dyslexia, but lousing a passion for it once I was no longer doing it for run.)

I had no problem programming with dyslexia, as I found after repeating world long enough i learnt them (and being form the UK, a lot of programming terms are spellet incorrectly anyway.)

When it came to documentation it just took me a bit longer to insure that it was readable by everyone else on the team. But that's something that is done for any job i do.

I'm sure they everyone on a team you work for loves the fact you a condescending and see that someone with a disability is lower then you, and is not capable of doing the job as good as you.

I have seen plenty of code, and comments that was done by people who don't have dyslexic that is a mess. Bad coding is not just the domain of people who are unable to spell.

I don't think accusing the GP is going to help. Working with cryptic words day in day out is not something especially suited for someone who has trouble with reading / writing.

I suspect it's more the other way around. That code from dyslexic programmers tends to have more mistakes than code from non-dyslexic programmers.

I actually found programming easy. I started taking CS classes because they were a simple way to boost my GPA. When all words are cryptic, programming can be extremely well-suited.

Coding mistakes come from a lack of attention and tooling, not from innate skill. Being willing to take the time to proofread, use a spellchecker and write unit tests is important for anyone, regardless of learning disabilities.
