I'm not the OP, but as someone whos both a programmer & dyslexic - I do it because i enjoy it & and IMHO am pretty decent at it. Sure I naturally make a few more typos in my code comments & docs than most people, but a minute of extra proof reading (+ F6 in sublime) fixes that so why should anyone care?

I wasn't aware dyslexics magically got to avoid ever having to debug weird issues in legacy code bases? Hell, i may as well not come in some days if thats the case.

Sure, programming can be hard, and true, it isn't for everyone. But what has my (or anyone elses) being dyslexic got to do with whether they are the best person for the job?
