There's a lot of people who will/do use disabilities as a way to get an easier treatment on something, or even free.

Online, how are you gonna be able to confirm with a big busy corporation that you have dyslexia?

If they put a rule for something like that in, how many people do you think might try to say they have it just to get something free?

People need to be held accountable for whatever they do, even if it was a mistake. I have a friend who changed his name in game for RP reasons, but had to change it a second time because he forgot an apostrophe in his character's last name. Everyone has to be treated at the exact same level with no one getting special treatment.

I have multiple disabilities, that I won't delve into here, and I don't want to be treated like some special case, like you said, I didn't choose for my mind to be the way it is. But you're a person, so you'll get treated normally like everyone else does.
As someone who has worked for gaming support in the past for another company, I can't tell you how many times I've heard the dyslexia excuse (over a 4 year period) of calls/chat support engagements. And I couldn't agree more. I'm sure there ARE people with dyslexia (like the OP), but we had to treat everyone the same and denied name changes too. You can't tell who is and who isn't doing things to scam companies anymore. Every user is different, but all it takes is a few bad apples to make things change or stick to the guns of the company standard policies.
