Pat Carpenter's work at Carnegie Mellon connected subtle saccade and line-return patterns to reading performance. This is critical for boys in puberty, when testosterone production reduces saccade performance -- effectively generating a several-years episode of dyslexia. Great athlete, bad reader -- of course. And large print books are a first-rate palliative. Treat as a mild dyslexia, not as ADHD.
