Dyslexia
Dyslexia, also known as reading disorder, is characterized by trouble with reading despite normal intelligence. Different people are affected to varying degrees. Problems may include difficulties in spelling words, reading quickly, writing words, "sounding out" words in the head, pronouncing words when reading aloud and understanding what one reads. Often these difficulties are first noticed at school. When someone who previously could read loses their ability, it is known as alexia. The difficulties are involuntary and people with this disorder have a normal desire to learn.

So he with difficulty and labor hard
Mov'd on, with difficulty and labor he.
John Milton, Paradise Lost (1667; 1674), Book II, line 1,021.
Difficulties
I've always believed that a writer has got to remain an outsider. If I was offered anything like the Nobel Prize for Literature, I'd find it an extremely difficult conflict because I'd be basically disinclined to accept.
Colin Wilson Interviewed by Paul Newman in Abraxas Unbound #7
Difficulties
Ardua molimur; sed nulla nisi ardua virtus.
I attempt a difficult work; but there is no excellence without difficulty.
