My spouse went to university (in another country) with a friend/colleague who I have met several times over the years and who I was told has dyslexia (person didn’t discuss directly with me). I don’t know if it was disclosed, treated or what but I DO know this person has a Ph.D. and has been fully successful in a well-compensated, high demand engineering career in that country (which is a country where I don’t imagine a whole lot of support). What I did hear is that this person had some difficulty TEACHING as part of the Ph.D. requirements - THAT specific part was tough. However, professional work has gone fine and this person has a rewarding life. Hope sharing this info, however vague, may be of some help.
