This is a horrible situation. I am so relieved to read that they are reunited. But I have a question for native speakers of British English. THe woman is refered to as having "learning difficulties". I have also seen the term "learning disability" used.  In American English,  she would be refered to as " mentally disabled" or "intelectually challenged". The terms learning difficulties and learning disabitities refer to individuals with normal intelligence, but some problem with a certain area, such as dyslexia, etc.  

My question is, what do the Brits call someone with dyslexia (besides dyslexic)?

Thanks,
jamelle
