Is dyslexia typically considered a mental, behavioural or emotional disorder? I thought it was a learning disorder.

Learning disorders are sometimes considered mental disorders;  I don't know about "typically".  And dyslexia was just an example;  I could have used something like anorexia or arachnophobia that might be considered a mental, behavioral, or emotional disorder instead.  I would doubt that they should be considered as such for the purposes of the bill, hence my statement that I don't have a problem with the law in principle, but expressed reservations as to what disorders might be covered.

And you've been in Jolly Olde too long--you're adding an extra "u" to some words.  :)

Blame my phone. I'm not going to spend time correcting when autocorrect puts in an actual spelling.

Yes with a silly objection. Not that gov'ts don't fuck up but I still don't see why an initial reaction would be ok but with reservations that by disorders they don't mean my list of disorders that have nothing to do with competency at using a gun.
