| Diagnosis age | NA | 12.69 (6.43) | NA | 10 (41.28) |
| Adult Dyslexia Checklist | 31.31 (3.33) | 52.14 (10.55) | 31 (11.06) | 51 (111.36) |
| Reading speed (wpm) | 254.76 (47.93) | 171.32 (38.37) | 252.85 (2296.8) | 180.91 (1472.1) |

Control group (n = 32), dyslexia group (n = 35). Visual cognitive processing speed measured in standardized scores based on age as assessed by the Symbol Search and Coding subtests of the WAIS-IV74. A score of 10 equates to the population average on these tests.
